It also happened to me after the beta update last night. I had to go back to regular steam.

I launch all Origin games from Steam. And I turn all Origin features off (notifications, in-game overlay, etc) and its like it's not even there.
Eh, there are tons of 2D Metroidvanias, especially on PC. La-Mulana, Cave Story, Within a Deep Forest (my personal favorite), Tresure Adventure Game, Aquaria, Eternal Daughter, VVVVVV and Hell Yeah! are some that comes to mind.
The Iconoclasts and Owl Boy are two upcoming games that look really promising too.
This has been happening to me for a couple of days.

Is Deus Ex: Missing Link gone from anybody else's library?

Yes, but it is showing under the "Tools" section.

I don't even have Origin installed anymore and all my (free) games launch fine as non-steam games.
Can't use coupons on it in Europe either, if this is the beginning of no more vouchers on GMG I'll be pretty disappointed.

Mine is still there and uninstalled. I didn't get it during that Amazon sale, if that matters.
I'm not at my desktop, but from the app on my iPad it says it's there. I'll be pissed as fuck if it's gone because I haven't had the chance to finish it yet
Yep, its gone.

Are you talking about Missing Link, or the Augmented Edition extras?

Ah yes, there it is. Bizarre.

Well done, I guess you found the missing link. [/lamejoke]
All of my actual tools are gone. Like the mod kits and digital bonuses/soundtracks. I'm trying to remember why I opted into the Steam beta in the first place but the reason escapes me at the moment. Eh, too lazy to update it to non-beta and I wasn't planning on playing Missing Link anytime soon.
Community and friends list works fine for me.

Big Picture Mode?
Oh right, that must have been it. Sometimes I forget that beta actually means beta and not preorder / early access.
As bad as the joke is, I actually laughed out loud.

Thanks, I laughed out loud.

Fallen Enchantress is out today, wonder if it's as big a train wreck as Elemental was made out to be (never played it).
That shouldn't make a difference. If it's working fine for people otherwise, it should be untouched.
Btw, I'm not familiar at all with the AssCreed series -- does the bundle include all of the games released up to now?
Reason I ask is because I bought the Splinter Cell bundle, and it doesn't have Pandora Tomorrow. And I bought the Hitman bundle, which doesn't have Hitman: Contracts.
I hate that kind of thing.

Nope, still here.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Hmm, Giana Sisters is a little floaty and imprecise, the assets are really high quality and polished but animations, controls, enemy behaviors and overall pacing not so much. It feels like an early 3D platform game in some ways, like Pandemonium or something in how it isn't very, er, tight. A game to see once through, for the worlds and what not (if it doesn't get boring and padded out enough to make me give up as well) not something to return to again and again like a classic. I'm a little disappointed with it.
HOTLINE MIAMI is already awesome though.

Just booted up Steam - don't see any abnormalities. Missing Link isn't missing.
The game is good. really good. Best TBS game since Civ IV. Haven't messed with the campaign yet, but the sandbox mode is really, really good. A few flaws here and there, but nothing major.
It is as good as War of Magic was bad.

Is there anything I need to know before starting up BioShock 2? I've read that people had issues with the game due to GFWL or something.
That and non-Uplay games such as the original Assassin's Creed is now broken (up to 5 second pauses at a time) and unpatched as it had undocumented calls to an ubiserver on startup and EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU KILL AN ENEMY </rant>

What was that fix to keep your categories from disappearing? I spent like 2 hours putting all my games in categories yesterday, now they're all reverted back to some earlier categories I made. ._.

is nba 2k still coming to steam?
jaundicejuice

That's good to hear. If the positive word of mouth keeps rolling in I may have to pick this up after I'm done with Xcom.
The Wizard

Yes it includes everything but in this case you're probably better off buying 2 and brotherhood separately, Revelations and the dlc will hit a steeper discount soon enough.
Make sure to exit Steam before shutting down your computer...that's the only thing I can think of.

its a glitch i had recently .a free weekend game was added to an old category that i deleted a while ago.
Is it better than Warlock?
Was tempted to do it, but I've never done an OT. A few folks in here have played the beta, such as myself.
Better FE and Drox Operative, I haven't had any need to play anything on Steam really in weeks/months. (Drox will make steam at some point also- better game than Torchlight)
Warlock's a different game- it's not a 4X to me as much as it is a wargame in the mold of say, Fantasy General. It's good but Warlock is all about the tactical combat.
FE is more of a RPG/traditional 4X hybrid, with less emphasis on the tactical. It's emphasis is on exploration and leveling up characters.
You can't really compare the two, Warlock's good, FE is very good, potentially great if Stardock keeps up the support like they usually do (and there's still another expansion to go)

So after all that they only manage to remove:
Alien Breed 2
ARMA2 beta
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Runespell
Skydrift
Trials 2
.. Because the rest were part of bundles. Looks like i'm stuck with Flora's Fruit Farm for life..

Me neither. But one learns by doing. Making OTs skill +1.
I think i'd like to have a banner for it but i can't make one myself. Otherwise i'll just make it a quick, simple overview of the features and such. Maybe link a few screenshots and a vid or two.
