OMG, it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to enter my Zipcode in that Risen 2 beta form, and I finally had do a Google search to figure it out. Most poorly designed form ever.

What do you think our chances are that (within the very foreseeable future) any kind of EA/Valve resolution? Or does Valve & EA just not give 2 flyin' farts in the wind about getting things settled?
I don't think we will see many EA games on Steam until Origin has a big enough install base to compete. Even then, I suspect big titles will be Origin exclusive.
Extremely low. Origin would have to bomb so badly it had a huge impact on their financial sheet. Short of them abandoning it (not happening any time soon), EA will continue to treat Valve as their biggest competitor. That means a passive aggressive approach is the best that can be hoped for.

Is there any kind of known timetable for an average period of time between when a title is added to the Steam registry and when it finally shows up for purchase? Been waiting on Double Fine's "Iron Brigade" for months now, "Legend of Grimrock" was just added so now I am waiting for that as well.

Anywhere between 1 day to never. Best chance you have for knowing is if the company themselves announces it.

It can be never IIRC FF7 has been in the registry for over a year now and there's never been any indication its coming to a DD service.

I've been waiting for Iron Brigade and Stacking myself. Stacking is "officially" announced and apparently coming out this Spring, where as Double Fine hasn't talked about Iron Brigade coming to PC so, I hate to say it, but as of now it may not happen. I actually just borrowed my friends 360 so I could play Brigade, can't wait anymore.

It's totes coming. They've all but straight up said it.

Since they've got Stacking set for Spring, I wonder if Brigade would be released in the Fall? As far as I know they have nothing else going on this year, with the adventure game more than likely coming out in 2013.
Damn Ubisoft. 
Had a 50% off coupon and I was thinking about buying Silent Hunter 5, go to the store page and it's all "permanent internet connection required." :/ I just want to buy your games. Why do you make not do that?
I bought SH: Wolves of the Pacific. I'm sure I'll have fun with that without the scourge of their institutional policies.

Wait so... maybe Half Life 3 episode One then ?!
Damn Ubisoft.
I've already skipped several Ubisoft games because of the DRM. I'd love to know how many sales they gained because the same DRM made it too much of a hassle to pirate!

Totally held off buying it on 360 once I heard it was coming to Steam, but I'm still waiting months later!!

This isn't like a total confirmation of Iron Brigade coming, but on a TNT that Giant Bomb did for the DLC the project lead and two other members of the dev team were there and they kept bringing up a PC version and how great it would be if it happened in a ridiculous over the top manner. It sounds like its going to come out eventually, but Microsoft is waiting for something very specific. Maybe to coincide with the launch Windows 8? There was that list that showed up the other day with a bunch XBLA titles that were supposed to be coming out I think to coincide with the Windows launch.

I would say "yay", even if it's just for curiosity. There are a lot of interesting secrets in that game.
Nicely done! (I tried to watch it earlier, but I was greeted with an ad each and every time.)

Greenlighting stuff can take a long, long while. It's ridiculous.

Steam's inexplicably deleted all of my non-Steam shortcuts. Is there any conceivable way of restoring them?
Gets better after the first world.
Ron Gilbert has been working on a game for Double Fine for nine months. They had four games in development in 2011, I suppose they have four games in development right now as well (Ron Gilbert game, Double Fine Adventure and maybe a new Kinect game and Stacking 2).

Are you using Windows 7?

It happens to me too, I've read that it's a Windows 7 issue, the only work around that I found it's to create a desktop icon from the folder installation. I know that it's annoying but that's better than nothing!
I'm on Windows XP, and it's happened to me, too. Weird.
Any tips, apart from manually replacing them by hand?
There's a promo at the Nuuvem store. They've got 5 copies of Renegade Ops including both DLCs for ~$8.75. Makes $1.75 a copy:

I haven't find any fix/solution for this issue, just replacing them manually, but I don't know if this issue is related to Steam!
Steam will notify you if you already own any of the games once the bundle is in your shopping cart.
Yes, but wouldn't it be nice if it did that far earlier? Like when you're looking at the game in the store?

So, Witcher 2 from Amazon... is that the enhanced edition? I read there were problems before with downloading updates repeatedly. Has that been fixed?
Stronghold 3 is on sale on Amazon. I do believe it registers in steam:
"Steam account required for game installation and activation; internet connection required"
"Steam account required for game installation and activation; internet connection required"
This is the case with individual games. You'll see a wide green box with the text "You already own [game title]" and a small grey "Play now" button.
AFAIK its not Steam

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
How is Fallen Earth?
No real threads worth a damn on Neogaf, but someone has had to try it.
I liked Fallout, so wondering if it's worth giving this a casual try.

Don't you mean portuguese? (It's a brazilian site).
But yes, I can confirm it has every language. I'll post some pics when I get back home.

Is there a way to add the extra codes as gifts? It's kinda annoying to keep them in notepad.
