I'm expecting splinter cell today

I hope It's Tom Clancy. Wouldn't mind pickup some Splinter Cell and the R6 Vegas games.

You could submit the file to ESET to be 100% sure, but I'd imagine it's fine. NOD32 will flag more-or-less every file packed with Themida when detection for potentially unwanted applications is enabled.

They could put Rainbow 6 with Ghost Recon on one day and save Splinter Cell for its own day. Each could barely justify its own day, but I'm not sure of course.

Since it's not a public corporation it's pretty easy to imagine plausible situations. I imagine there are only a few major shareholders, what happens if something happens to them? Who are their heirs, and what are their interests?
It's all stupid theoretical stuff and all highly unlikely, at least in the forseeable future, but then again we've spent the last page of this thread arguing if HL1 or HL2 is a better game so...
edit: not that I care. It's pretty easy to gain access to any games I'd be upset about losing. I just don't think people who are concerned about this are crazy cooks.
And of course people might be concerned about Valve's draconian account locking in any suspect situation.

When do Steam deals go up now? I could have sworn it was noon ET for the Holiday sale, but it seems like it has been later since then.

I had to record playthroughs of classic games for an archive of video games.
coopolon said:
On a long enough timeline survivability of all things goes to zero. Many might not but I do care about retaining ownership of my games in perpetuity. Having them on Steam practically guarantees I will not be able to over a long enough timeframe. I will grant that it is arguable if I could maintain ownership as long or longer with DRM-less digital or physical copies though. At least I felt in control with those, even though it is largely a false securityme circa 1986 said:
!!!! This is extremely relevant to my interests! Is this a publically accessible archive? You are doing a man's job, sir!balladofwindfishes said:

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's when it was during the holiday sale.
Sales these days generally go up on the dot at 1:10 EST.

What are their interests? The same as any heir: MONEY. Even if they had absolutely zero interest in running it, they're not going to dissolve something they could sell for billions of dollars in a bidding war. This is the one absolute of the world. People like money.

Uplink for $3.40

I need to mark the date the Daily Deals started, because I'm going to be deadly curious how many of them pass by before something I'm interesting is featured.

Whenever there is a Steam sale where I don't want anything, there's this weird feeling of joy and disappointment.

Is settlers good? D:

Both are games I am interested in, but I know I won't play any time soon. I'll wait for them to at least be $10 (Likely Ruse will be $5 before years end)
I am really hoping Hawx 1 is less then $10 sometime this sale, and Trackmania goes 75% (That I doubt though)
Daily Deals have come up with a number of Titles I want, but so far I own all of them I have been interested in.

I have 20 dollars in my savings for now, I'm not sure if I should get this D:

It's amazingly good, but 20 is too pricey for me. I already beat it once.Ookami-kun said:
The Settlers 7 is such an awesome game, I absolutely loved it. It was my second favourite game of 2010.

Gaaaah! I think I'll wait for tomorrow to make up my mind.

I nabbed a physical copy of S7 for 9$ a while back, still haven't cracked it open. Sometimes it's nice picking through the bones of the PC section at a retail store. It's kind of like playing the lotto, most often you get nothing but every now and then you stumble across something interesting.

Uplink is one of my favorite games of all time. Definitely not for everyone, but if you're even remotely interested for 4 bucks you can't go wrong. Amazingly fun game. Very intense too.
So...some how my CC was charged 2 $50 transactions by Steam. Thing is it wasn't my account. I called them up and they said they can't dispute the charges until they've cleared and I've opened a ticket with Steam and nothing yet. When I do contest the charges it should fuck over their account, right? Would this still happen if they were tricky and tried to gift it from a dummy account too?

Steam says it's still there, which means I'm still passing on it. I think this is the third time I've gone to add it to my cart and then remembered the DRM.

Why do these asshats insist on drm outside of steam? Freakin' dumbasses.platypotamus said:
