Guys I can say with confidence no part of the silence has anything to do with Microsoft or GFWL or any sort of conspiracy. We'll share more details soon. Please be patient.

Update: and it looks like we've got everything on track. You'll see.

...wait a minute, haven't I played this before?

 

[Dice]

I am interested in Waves. A lot of indie games of this type waaaaay overdo the visual mess, but this seems to keep everything discernible.

I might end up buying Titian Quest Gold this week if there is a sale.

OP makes a good point. It's hard to feel sorry for them if they remark on low sales when they hardly have a presence on Steam.

Looks like someone made a pretty significant typo on quite a lot of DLC:

I picked it up for $13.33

 

[Dice]

It may be $5 later this week.

 

[bloodydrake]

That THQ pack is tempting...

wait till Christmas instead of 33% off it will be 50 or 60% in all likelyhood

 

[Ionic]

The pack is 50 percent off this week. It's the individual games that are 33 percent off.

 

[X05]

So guys, what next steam feature other than comfy couch mode would we like to see?

Personally some kind of video recording feature or just more steam cloud features would be welcome.

A proper "accessibility" mode, it's really annoying having to modify the conf file every time there is an update, and it never ends up being nice or consistent :/
I did send Gabe an email about this though

Spoiler

and got totally ignored ;_;

also, multiple categories and, more of a nitpick, but it'd be nice to be able to access the store pages of those games "unavailable in my region" that own because they were gifted or whatever.

Meh.


When I saw the title, I envisioned something like Hydro Thunder or Jet Moto for some reason.

my bad i saw the 33% off the catalog thought it ment for the pack

 

[Joe Molotov]

Supreme Commander is 50% off today for some reason too. Decided to go ahead and pick it up (if it ends up being 75% off later in the week, oh well).

 

[Qatar]

Dammit. I bought the THQ pack back in the summer for the same price, except now they added RF Armageddon.

 

[Sober]

Hmm, don't really see much for the THQ catalogue except RFG since I passed on it last sale and maybe the FSW games ... do they even work on Win7? I even had trouble getting the demo to work on WinXP of all things a few months ago.

 

[Snkfanatic]

I will be really temped by those dawn of war 2 games when they go on sale....maybe just wait for the holiday sale though.

God I miss Wave Race.

Activision finally overcame its greediness. Modern Warfare 3 appeared at Steam for less than $30. Still not worth it, though.

What?

 

[Nabs]

What?

Russia, son.

 

[plc268]

Damn. Even though I'm tired of the COD series, I'd jump on MW3 at $30 in a heartbeat.

 

[Stabby McSter]

damn you, russia! :<

 

[MasterShotgun]

Looks like someone made a pretty significant typo on quite a lot of DLC:

Wow that's a lot of extra decks.

Spoiler

I'll probably end up getting them all. Especially the Golgari deck, my favorite tribe from Ravnica.

 

[Monroeski]

Man, I am not good at Mirror's Edge.

I was jumping too early for a while, like when you go between two buildings, but I'm getting better at that. My bigger problem is just recognizing what the game wants me to do since it feels like it forces me a few times. For example, earlier I died because I was running on an air vent and jumped to another one that was well within my reach, but the game wanted me to actually do the wall run to make it, so I couldn't grab the ledge on a standard jump.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

I wish they would have a sale on the original Dawn of War games. I only ever played the original release when it came out. I never had a chance to play the expansions. I know there was a sale during the summer, but it wasn't much for how old those games are.

I was recently in the mood for a sim-style racer on PC and I've tried the big name ones but they're too hardcore for me. So I went ahead and bought Shift 2 Unleashed, and it's pretty good.
Nice graphics, sound, the presentation you'd expect from a NFS game, I really like it. Only smack I can talk about it is it crashed once and it doesn't overlay 360 icons on button prompts even if you have a 360 controller plugged in, it works, just no overlays. The first game had the same problem and people bitched about it, but they decided to keep it the same for some reason. Only $19.99 too, not a bad price.

I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a good sim-style racer that isn't too hardcore.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Man, I just can't get into Civ V Nights. First time I play Civ V in a few weeks and I dive right back into vanilla. I just don't like some of the changes made to the civs themselves (all of their bonuses/advantages are fairly similar, a lot of the unique advantages were done away with), the way barbarians are made a significantly greater threat, how you can't remove barbarian encampments until you get to the Middle Ages (IF you have iron ore) and hwo the technology tree is divided up.

The new, expanded policy track looks nifty and I like how you can choose between any style civ you want from the get-go but I haven't been able to play one full game with the Nights mod.

hmm. does anyone else wanna share a fourpack for Dungeons Defenders?

Here you go, my good man.

Tested on mine and they work great. Sometimes it still says 'Press Enter To Start' but after that everything will look fine.

I have a Duke Nukem DLC Hail to the Icons pack. new multiplayer modes, maps and weapons! I think it's PC but apparently according to the site I can get the code for any of your platforms, so Xbox and PS3 as well. I dunno if it normally costs money, just got a mail.

Releases today on 14:30 and I'm giving away the code for a Dota2 key or a Dirt 3 key.

Or just the first person that gives me a neat drawing of HL2: EP3. Nothing too fancy. I like drawings 's all. :3

one of the posters in Capcom Unity thread used this as a link to show that steam had a 51% share of the gaming market.

http://www.pressking.com/press-releases/Digital-distribution-giant-Steam-loses-market-share-to-Amazon-GameStop-and-Microsoft--003683

A study by the leading digital deal & price comparison portal Deals4Downloads.com revealed a 220 percent growth of the digital games market. While market leader Steam sees strong growth, it still loses shares to newcomers like Amazon and Microsoft.

The study, which was conducted over the past year by Deals4Downloads.com, revealed some interesting facts about the dynamics of the digital distribution of video games. According to the study "Market Shares of Digital Distribution Platforms in 2010-2011", the overall market of digital distribution saw a growth of 220%. This growth is attributed mainly to an increasing shift from physical to digital distribution. Additionally, traditional retail players like GameStop or Microsoft are making increasingly aggressive moves toward the new digital market.

The biggest new entry to the digital market though is Amazon, who made a strong push into the market with it's own digital distribution service that covers both PC and Mac video games. Amazon is followed closely by GameStop and Microsoft, which both launched their own digital distribution platforms, too.

Longtime market leader Steam is now facing more and stronger competition than ever. Steam itself shows a respectable growth of more than 150% but still loses more than 10% of it's market shares to it's new contenders. While Valve's digital distribution platform still holds a comfortable 55% of the market Amazon, GameStop and Microsoft grabbed 10% each on market entry, trailed by EA with 5%.

Most of the established independent digital distribution services like Direct2Drive (+34%), GamersGate (+63%) or Good Old Games (+54%) still managed to grow despite this market shake-up. With Desura, GreenManGaming, and Beamdog we even saw a couple of promising new indie download shops entering the digital market.

The biggest losers, including Bestbuy, Alienware, or Xfire seem to be download shops that didn't manage to find a unique positioning or failed to address the increasing price pressure due to growing numbers of download deals.

[Nabs]

Never heard of that site before (Deals4Downloads).

 

[someguyinahat]

So guys, what next steam feature other than comfy couch mode would we like to see?

How about the ability to hide DLC and strategy guides from the store pages?

 

[JaseC]

How about the ability to hide DLC and strategy guides from the store pages?

A search filter would be nice, yes.

Edit: Oh, there is one. Where have I been? Anyway, I don't have a problem with auxiliary items being on the store page seeing as the link to buy the game itself is always the top-most option.

Sorry, but the multiplayer is dead.

Yeah thought as much. WAs it ever alive?

 

[Stallion Free]

Nope, so don't expect any offers. Plus, plenty of people are getting the codes.

Oh I'm not really wanting offers, I was jesting at the amount of Dota2/Dirt shit. I'm giving it away for free/a silly drawing.

 

[Snkfanatic]

EDIT: Gone

 

[confused]

I have a spare Spacechem key for who-ever wants it. First come, first serve. so don't hesitate.

Based on "goolgle ad planner"? Really? I was already skeptical, but now this is chartz territory for me.
