Hope he doesn't end up like that guy who posted his SSN to advertise his identify theft prevention company. Although if I try those details it just gives "incorrect login" - not something saying I am not on the authorized computer.

Gives an unauthorized screen like you would expect.

Which means that while the thing is in the testing phase, any issues/vulnerabilities in the system can be worked out before it goes "final".SapientWolf said:
No system is unhackable, and yes, I half expect at least one clever hacker to post a screenshot of Gabe's Steam account, but this is just one added layer of security after all, not a replacement to the current system.
Am I doing something wrong? I reformatted this morning, and the first thing I do after a reformat is see if my Crysis activations are blown, and it still runs.
I'm way past 3 reformat's too. Probably double that, at least.
What constitutes losing an activation for that game?
Agree 100%. I'd rather buy something from GFWL. The only thing I take impulse over is THQ Store and Ubi store, and that's only because they both have download limits.
EADM is so underrated. I probably sound like a shill by now, but it's a really great client. Perfectly basic UI, and it always maxes my connection speed.

Stallion just reported the same thing, and he had to go through the hassle of contacting EA support last time he ran out. It is POSSIBLE that there was some stealth removal of the limit, I suppose, or else maybe just reformatting doesn't count as changing your hardware. I don't know.kamspy said:

There are also media accounts for people in the business. Reviewers, etc. They don't have access to 100% of the games but anywhere from 70-80% and every big release is added to their account automatically.

If one of you guys want to gift me the first Mass Effect, I will gladly play through it. Otherwise, that $20 is set aside for Dragon Age, not for playing a game I already experienced 70% of just to ensure Shepherd doesn't make some asshole move that I'd probably make anyway.

A system like that is nearly unhackable though. As the CPU's unique key changes every 30 seconds, the only ways to spoof that would be to have a trojan on his PC send a code remotely. That is, unless there are security loopholes outside of having to use the code.
It's an incredibly secure system that is far more difficult to hack. Any successful hack is likely to exploit vulnerabilities outside of SteamGuard itself.

Yeah, pretty much. 25 hours or so. Couldn't put it down. I played until 4am last night, left the last stretch for this morning. And I have all this homework to do.
Still, when I played the last bit, and when it all came together... man, what an impact. Amazing game, didn't expect it would be this good.

Wrex would be dead, the Rachni would be dead, the old Council would be dead, and Udina would be on the new council)
edit: oh and default your Shepard somehow did 0 sidequests in ME1

I wish PC gaming GAF would make their collective minds up. When I was asking for LTTP PC games, the general consensus was to play through ME1 rather than jump straight to 2. So I bought 1. Still haven't got to it on my backlog though, so its not too late to tell me to jump straight to 2..

Need some fellow gaffer's expertise. I've began to purchase games from Steam and the Mac App Store, most recently Braid that I simply could not pass up at that price. Also recently downloaded Cave Story. I'm currently using a 13" MacBook Pro and while I can manage using keyboard and trackpad for games like Civilization and Peggle, it's not cutting for the earlier mentioned games.
What's the best control compatible with the Mac and would it work with all games purchased from Steam and the App Store? Any chance the 360 control can be used? I really want to start taking advantage of some of these Steam deals! Much thanks in advance.

There is no 100% consensus, if we're accounting for misguided people, but most agree that playing both in succession is the way to go. Sure, the importance of your ME1 choices in ME2 aren't as significant as I had hoped, but it does make a difference to have experienced the first game for yourself and to see some events that are the result of your actions in the previous game. I've tried starting new games in ME2 and it's just not the same when you're playing with preset choices.
anyways, that's just my 2 cents
