Capcom. They announced it in May.

But I actually found out about it after browsing for the latest AMD drivers, which led me to:
edit: and capcom itself apparently xD

guess i was living under a rock by that time, any words on gfwl?
Not to my knowledge, but Capcom has said of the PC port of RE6 that "there is good news in that process", and some have taken that to be a hint towards the dropping of GFWL in favour of Steamworks. Also, there was a community Q&A recently and somebody asked why Capcom prefers GFWL; Sven answered with a small list of the pros of using GFWL, but prefaced this with "as went into the decision making process back in the day", which could further suggest Capcom has finally left the Lonely Hearts Club.

We all like a free gift and all but damn that guy is on fire.
He offered me $1.99 for Borderlands 2 on pm since that's what he said I got it for on newegg.
This is his thread, we're all just here to provide

Goddamn the Gentlemen of Steelport mod is awesome.
Pretty much a required download for anyone who owns Saints Row the Third.
Really looking forward to the massive update the author is working on. Having almost all SR3's mods under one gui will be amazing.

Just bought Lonesome Road and Gun Runner's Stash, now own all of the DLC for Fallout: New Vegas except for the Courier's Stash. Is it worth a buck to buy those alternate outfits and starter weapons?

Thanks bro, indeed I'm not a lurker and I don't like to steal codes from those nice Gaffers that giveaway codes.
I just want to say that I'm very grateful with those kindly Gaffers that has gifted to me their spare games, thank you very much!

*pft* Yeah right. I got this Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines code right here. Let's see if you can control yourself.

how are you so sure?

I really hate when people do that. "you got it for X so you're morally obliged to sell it for X, otherwise you're a douchebag" (not saying this is what Leon thinks, but many people do). No, you're the douchebag, I'll sell it for the price people are willing to pay for it.
Amazon 'countdown to black friday' deals are up here
THQ pack - $10
Aliens vs Predator - $4
Binary Domain - $9
I think they're the only Steam unlock-able ones at this point (only looked at the 'featured items' at the top so far)
EDIT: Oooh Sonic CD - $1.24
DOUBLE EDIT: Being from Australia this was never rated for release here: Blacklight, Tango Down - $1.25 - Would I be able to a) add this to my steam account as a key if it is not available regionally within the store to me, and b) I know that Blacklight: Retribution is free to play and apparently better but I will potentially buy anything for $1.25 unless there is a compelling reason not to.. is there? Advice/Comments/Suggestions?

So do these last until Black Friday or do they end tomorrow?

Played this on the Xbox and hated it. I love Blacklight: Retribution though, so I'd avoid this, but you've already convinced yourself to buy it if you can play it. I don't have any answeres to your questions though.

Part of the Amazon.com Black Friday sale week, this specific deal started today and ends 11/25.
Dreamcast Pack [Download] - $4.99
Comes with these:
Crazy Taxi [Download]
Jet Set Radio [Download]
SEGA Bass Fishing [Download]
Sonic Adventure DX [Download]
Space Channel 5 Part 2 [Download]
ONLY Jet Set Radio is Steam activated though. At least that is what I currently see from their individual pages. Also, you get the special $5 promotional credit good towards any of the "Editor's Choice" game downloads in the month of January 2013. I just knew I should wait for the Amazon sale instead of buying it on GMG, so glad I waited.
EDIT: Thanks for the heads up reminder about the sale, Issacard.

Absolutely no one plays it. There are only 4 missions available for single player and they're rather boring. It has GFWL (I'm actually cool with GFWL but I know many aren't) and it's very ugly.DOUBLE EDIT: Being from Australia this was never rated for release here: Blacklight, Tango Down - $1.25 - Would I be able to a) add this to my steam account as a key if it is not available regionally within the store to me, and b) I know that Blacklight: Retribution is free to play and apparently better but I will potentially buy anything for $1.25 unless there is a compelling reason not to.. is there?

Maybe.. maybe not.. I'm curious about it.. like a lot of games - even bad ones - I like to check them out to see what they're doing with their UI/menu-flow/control choices/player feedback and usability/accessibility options and I've heard interesting things about this one that I haven't been able to see (though I guess youtube would give me as much)..
Thanks mate.. might be a youtube one after all.
Yeah it looks like it is not.. there is some confusion in the related threads to that game with are never resolved which is frustrating.. but it would say it if it was.
Thats one nice deal

Man, there's so much content I skipped/missed my first time playing through New Vegas that I'm experiencing now just trying to get a set of ranger armor.
Damn, I hope it'll get a good discount during winter sale.

What kind of DRM does Amazon have?
I just found Daemonica there for 2.49$.

Hehe, sorry for laughing but it's a funny situation. A similar thing happened to me, while trying to enter a steamgifts giveaway for rochard it kept saying I already owned it, however it wasn't in my steam library. I was about to post a thread asking if this happens to others but first I went to the steamstore and it said I owned it, and I was able to activate it that way. I ate my forgetful pie, perhaps because it was added through a humble bundle it didn't initially appear in my library.
Anyone recall what the games were last year? I remember they weren't that great and the prices were pretty bad, but this year you should get a lot of $5 credits buying approximately one dollar games.

Hmmm I'd be more enticed with something like Batman AC.
Which I recall could be bought as either SteamWorks of GFWL.
Since my main interest in buying it on PC was to double dip on the achievements.
THough i'd buy it on PC regardless because of the Mod community/

Uh, anybody know what's up with this promo credit stuff from Amazon? Apparently I received 2x5$ for use in January 2013 because I bought Darkiders II and Sonic CD for my brother.

Pretty much every digital purchase on Amazon from now until the end of the year will include one of these promo credits for an "Editors Choice" game in January. They did this last year, and people scored a bunch of good deals for free or really cheap.

I can't believe there's not a single game I want from the Amazon Black Friday list.
Hopefully the Steam Sale delivers. They're usually better with the smaller/indie stuff that I have on my wishlist.

So apparently you have to keep the Amazon Downloader running to be able to launch the game.
almost always am waiting for it to sync, because i usually have a screenshot or two to upload so i have to wait for that sync to finish.
even in the case where i didn't have one to upload, i'm pretty good about letting it sync. there's no way i could have done it to this many cloud save compatible games.
i've never gotten this prompt, any advice on how i could force it to come up? at this point for alan wake, binary domain, and dead island i don't even see an option to load up a local save over a cloud save. civ 5 is a different story, but i more often than not cloud save, because ya know, that's a lot of progress that can't be redone verbatim if my computer were to crash and burn and lose those files. at this point with my steam backlog, i just wanted to finish dead island and alan wake, but with my relatively limited play time this would be a "waste" and i'll just move on to a different game.
