There's that, which I do myself (see: Kingdoms of Amalur), but I'm speaking in general.
Yes, but leaving it at full price isn't logical, especially in cases of games with many DLC packs, such as Magicka.

I remember you posting that. The thing I don't get: It was posted July 12th. He says it was going to take a couple weeks for certification? WTF does that mean? Steam doesn't have any certification process. If he's referring to internal certification, that's kind of misleading. Because then it clearly wasn't done and he shouldn't have been implying that it was.
Sorry for the mini-rant. But it struck me odd then and seeing that it's almost a month later, I couldn't let it go a second time.
EDIT: Unless it needs MS certification to be able to remove GFWL. Which would be all kinds of funny.
ehhhh.. it's no different than a f2p game. You can get the game dirt cheap/free and get in playing, and if you like it, you'll buy the dlc for the full experience.
I'd like to know just how many people buy full-priced DLC when the game is on sale. I would assume high numbers for mega-popular FPS games (e.g. Call of Duty) (Edit: And mega-popular games of other genres, such as Skyrim), but I really doubt people are rushing out to buy the, say, Payday DLC when they've bought the game for at least half the cost. And then there's cases like Magicka, where $5 can get you a few older content packs as opposed to one new release.

I think your problem is that you haven't properly installed the flux capacitor in your computer, and you need to downgrade the zero gravity point shield generator. A full reinstallation of Windows should help.Steam support, living up to it's name:
I'll keep it updated, when they reply in another week _._
Please reply to this post if you still require assistance.
Nah, should be similar to the support I/we am/are doing. Its simply lazy CSR's that try to give the first reply that comes to mind thats somewhat related, despite not solving the issue. Just a way of filling the ticket quota, sadly. Properly answering them takes too much time. I try to take my time answering questions that need some more elaborate answers, but some CSR's simply dont seem to care all that much.
If I was Gabe I would fire that robot, it took him nearly a week to reply.
what a fantastic thread that was^

I'd like the Space Core to have a stint in Support.
"I believe you're experiencing this problem because you're not logged in from space. Space, space, space. SPAAAACE!"
I thought using the word "robots" would make the joke obvious.
Ah, damn lol. I was thinking you referred to an auto response, which I do in fact know some support companies use, making it the first reply to a ticket no matter what the support question is about.
I really wish they would pay more money and then try and get better applicants (and then hold them to high standards). Because you probably could have a better conversation with bots.
Gotta agree with this gentleman; I also recommend getting rid of that pesky system32 file.
LOL
I'd actually say that MOST people working in the support spots are decent enough. The big problem is the ticket quota. If you have the need to fulfill a certain quota, then some tickets simply wont get the attention and time they need. I found myself ignoring a certain support inquiry a few weeks ago for quite some time (not valve, for the support we are doing) which would have taken me 30 minutes to solve/write up because it was a shitton of complicated questions/issues. Usually, I wait to solve these issues until I have enough tickets to easily meet my quota during my shift.
Valve would need to pay for more support guys then though, yeah.

EA can actually see how many activations you have. They are full of shit for sending you to Steam support.
I never gave them the key, so that might be the issue :| I just wanted to know the limit for Steam copies so they told me to enquire Steam about the problem.

If it didn't require a client-side update, then every copy has 50 activations and the Steam page is out of date (wouldn't be the first time). If it did require a client-side update, then EA opted to not release it on Steam, dicking over a large number of copies.
Lol, looks like it was pure gold when it was posted, I'd have loved to be here at that time.
Yup, the guy was completely legit
And why are you still using xp? Did you also hang onto windows ME?
Don't know if this is the right place for this but thought I would ask: I got two emails late last night from Steam containing authorization codes because someone requested an account password change. Is this an attempt to compromise my steam account? Should I take any precautions?
Thanks
Thanks
I'd like it, if he doesn't.
Give me your id if you still want it.
You obviously have Steam Guard on, so unless you have reason to believe your e-mail account isn't secure, I wouldn't worry. Couldn't hurt to change your password (of your e-mail account) just to be on the safe side, though.
Late edit: As Sarcasm said, definitely change your Steam password -- somebody knows it.
Maybe someone with a similar username got confused, thought he couldn't access his/her account and triggered the password change request?
Change you email password AND your steam password to be safe. Maybe do a few runs of malebytes and scans. Can never hurt to do this.
Do you have Steam Guard activated? If so then someone was trying to hack your account and steam guard saved your ass.
Sure. I didn't think to suggest a Steam password change since, if he can still log in, then the person's attempts to change the password/access his e-mail account were unsuccessful.
$30~$40 games are automatically tempting to me as an Aussie, but I can wait for it to go lower since I've never played a Hitman game before, haha. One of these days...
Come to think of it, I still need to purchase Darksiders II. The THQ Store deal would be tempting ($50, but includes the Season Pass: Day 30, 60, and 90 DLC), however I haven't read anything that indicates the scope of the DLC. I don't want to pay ~$20+ more only to discover that the additional content is trivial.

Just redeem Witcher 2 on GoG. For the hell of it, redeem my steam version of Witcher on GoG. It works. Kinda surprised it did, but hey, I'm happy.
Don't you get this as standard from Steam if you activate a key on Steam and then someone else tries to activate the same key?
You're thinking of this e-mail, which you also receive if somebody knows your e-mail address and uses it in an attempt to retrieve account info:
(This made me realise that somebody has accessed ameratsu's Steam account and is trying to change the password from within the client. Leave me alone, it's late.

hey is there a 2012 steam ID thread? I only found the 11 one and it doesn't seem to be maintained much
Fuck, in my country the professional edition costs 53 bucks, but in USA it's 44and it's Steamable
And it doesn't even come with Sniper Challenge. In my region you can get it, but you can't apply vouchers to the bundle, so it's either full price for SC or 30% off for just the base game. I don't know what to do, seems to me the logical solution would be to wait for a price drop in a distant future...
Oh, and you can get the previous games for $2.50 each, but they aren't Steam activable.
Nope; the 2011 variant has filled that role.

Some parts during late game are very maze-like and having a UI saves frustration.
I wish you could turn off specific UI elements but oh well.

Lithium: Restores 4 batteries

Thanks!
Bare in mind that the Hitman: Absolution from GMG does not include the Sniper Challenge. To get it you need to buy a bundle from this page: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/promo/hitman-absolution-sniper/
and it's Steamable
This, and every one of their daily deals these past few days has been cheaper with the re-usable 25% coupon than with the game specific daily code they are given.
Or am I wrong? I've tried every one of these 30% off deals and the 25% coupon has always been the cheaper option.
