Sounds like a good move. Didn't they already have a ridiculous amount of DLC? And if they ditched GFWL, some people would actually give it a chance (I would).

I actually bought it (admittedly as part of the Batman bundle in the Steam sale). RAEG.

It means you will meet new players in-game which is good for your experience.

Serious post: if I get to carry over the DLC and gubbins that was in the Batman bundle into the F2P version, I probably won't mind (e.g. if by "free 2 play" they mean "we're reducing the price of the Steam version to $0.00"). If I have to start again from zero and get no acknowledgement of having bought the thing then I will complain about it.
If that's all they do, you won't have to worry about it. Unless they ditch the putrid GFWL (no shooter should ever run on that), nobody is going to bother for free. And you won't be shortchanged by anything.

First could be said about many games. Second about every game.
Any confirmation?
I run it on my 2012 macbook, at the absolute minimum settings, and it still spins the fan up... which I feel is not good for this tiny machine.

Man, Inversion was pretty much Gears of War with some awesome gameplay twists. The setpieces were a real treat and the plot was surprisingly cool. It's a bummer the dialogue was painfully written and acted.
The visuals look quite splendid at 60 fps, though there is the occassional area that looks rough.
Definitely worth the 10$ and I'm looking forward to playing the campaign with one of my friends down the road.

I read that first one as Dark Souls and was about to get interested and then my brain caught up.

Took Dark Fall, the only game from the bundle I was even slightly interested in. Thanks!

Ghost Master was already taken. I took Shattered Horizon. Thanks.
I keep reading your posts as Eversion, if it makes you feel better.
*edit* So Ghost Master was taken...by a ghost master?!

Copied my backup to my new install and it didn't work! Want me to download the games again.
Won't even open now. Just tries to connects, then kills itself.

The joke is going to be on the ungrateful lurker who took it -- that game does not like Windows 7, last time I checked.
Did you delete ClientRegistry.blob?

Yep. Updates itself then just closes the process.

Can't even uninstall it! What the hell did I do to it?! Just closes the uninstall process, too.

Who has Company of Heroes? I looked at the 3rd party drm list and it says soothing about log-in required. is that only for online or offline as well?

If its like i remember, originally the game had zero DRM, but at some point they added in some login system which you had to login with to play without a CD, or offline with the CD in the drive. However, with the game being on Steam, you basically have to be online, as it will ask you for a non existant disc.

I wish I didn't miss this
It's still $10 on Amazon
PCGamer has this really long interview with Gaslamp Games (Dredmore) on their new game Clockwork Empires.
Oh sweet Jesus. Thanks Nabs!

You didn't. It's still on sale at Amazon.com.I wish I didn't miss this
Well that's technically one day less than the last day, so good job Valve?
Either way cool. Kind of weird to be fudged in the middle of The International.

Hardboiled Chicken is coming soon to Steam. The pre-order page should go up soon.
They probably timed it with PAX.

So why do I suddenly have a SR3 DLC coupon in my inventory?
Syphon Filter

just looked at steam greenlight since i didn't know about it. wow that is incredible,valve is so awesome! I am guessing you can ask for old games too right?
if you bought the SR3 game you got the SR3 DLC coupon as far as I can tell.
A developer can put a game onto Greenlight that got rejected off Steam, so I guess yes, as long as the makers are willing to have it on Steam.

Nice of them to give me a coupon after I've already bought the DLC I was interested in.

Cool, just noticed that Home is heading to Steam in couple of days, was only $2 from devs site so I would imagine it won't be much more on steam.
