why do you torment me so, steam?

Just when I thought I had my categories done, I noticed something odd when I logged on today. All my games and categories have reverted back to very old categories and orders that I haven't used in a while. Resetting steam didn't help. Oh well, here's hoping it gets solved the usual way - by itself.

 

[zkylon]

there are some places in the world that get EA discounts in the steam store...

Antartica?

 

[Leon Belmont]

Never bought directly from the THQ store, but usually online store don't charge you until your order ships.

Thanks bro, I found that they won't bill your cc until the product is shipped!

I preordered the PC Darksiders II CE, and I was worried about the cc charge!

I got Dota 2 and Dota 2 Test. Is it the beta and the beta²?

The DOTA2-website says:

"Today’s update is now available in the new Dota 2 Test build. Everyone with access to Dota 2 should now see the Test build in their Steam Games Library. The changes in the Test build will remain there for a week, during which time we’ll be fixing any issues in them, before being promoted to the main Dota 2 build. For more info, read our previous blog about the Test build. Note that there will be a limited server capacity for the Test build, so you may find longer queue times there."

If i understand correctly its a bit like the TF2-Beta, where they test out new changes.


Guess u dont have any spare key, do you?~~

Behold the power of cloud computing!

(kidding, but they really need to fix that shit.)

Dead Horde will be on the Indie Face Kick with other some cool games!

 

[MRORANGE]

[Leon Belmont]

That was so kindly of Xeno_Flux2113!

Thanks for the info.
The game got added to my library, and I have no invite. Sorry.

True, yet remember we don't know the price of the bundle yet.

I see some people that don't use the wishlist. And it makes me sad.

I'll surprise people sometimes when a game is cheap if it's high enough on the wishlist. If it's too low, then I might not.

Exactly, so does it really worth buy Dead Horde? :/

 

[SteveWinwood]

If the bundle is ten bucks and you only want that game? Then yes, yes it is.

 

[The_End]

Anybody know if the Sims 3 stuff packs can be redeemed on Origin? I know from personal experience that the base game and Expansions can be redeemed, but I'm not sure about the stuff packs.

Ordinarily I wouldn't bother with stuff packs, but at that price and if they can be redeemed on Origin, I might pick up a few.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

EA: Let's release more Sims 3 DLC on Steam, and you know what! LETS GIVE EVERYTHING A 66% DISCOUNT!

Still no Mass Effect 3...

Even ignoring the Mass Effect 3/Origins thing, it annoys me that they manage to keep putting Sims 3 DLC up, yet if I want to get the Mass Effect 2 DLC I am forced to go through their stupid Bioware space bucks system.

 

[Leon Belmont]

If the bundle is ten bucks and you only want that game? Then yes, yes it is.

Well I'm interested in two or three games from the bundle, here's the list:

• Sol Survivor
• Still Life 2
• Booster Trooper
• PAM – Post Apocalyptic Mayhem
• Avencast: Rise of the Mage
• Dead Horde
• Runespell: Overture
• Greed: Black Border

Already have PAM, so I'm interested in Booster Trooper, Avencast and Dead Horde

You should be interested in Sol Survivor. It's easily the best game in the bundle.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

I have an irrational hatred toward Origin and refuse to use it, but from my understanding, even if it just won't accept a key directly, people have had luck getting EA customer service to add it to their account anyway.

Actually, you've gotta go through the Sims account to redeem keys anyway. I guess what I should have asked is if the stuff packs give you game keys like the base game and expansions do?

Haha no problem.

I saw the game and I'm a little interested, but I could give it a try!

Ah yeah. In that case I want to say yes they do. I actually do enjoy the Sims and picked up most of the expansions/stuff packs during the last sale. If no one else responds I will confirm when I get home and can check Steam.

Alright, thanks man. Sale last a few days, so I've got time.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Feel like this Sim's deal is a good one, but just don't care for The Sims anymore.

Posted this on the Rayman Origins topic, but might as well post this here, it's been confirmed by Ubisoft's Rayman twitter that the Steam version of Rayman Origins is not going to use a 3rd party DRM:

What is written on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/207490/) is correct: the #Steam version of #RaymanOrigins won't contain any 3rd party #DRM.

[Lothars]

I bought the main Sims 3 and will wait on the rest of the expansions and packs.

I kinda agree with you. It just doesn't hold me like it did before. Too bad too because it was fun.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Hmm I may pick it up. My fiance used to love the Sims. I'll ask her if she'd play it again...if so I'll buy it.

Fuck yes. Bought (or pre-ordered I guess).

 

[The_End]

I still enjoy the Sims, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's a good deal. It's actually a pretty shitty deal. It's just that it's 66% less shitty than usual.

 

[Lord British]

Meh at all the a-c-d hate. If it had been a penny arcade comic with the same banter, it would be found witty and clever.

No, it would be well-drawn and disappointing.

Just like with the From Dust! Oh wait...

 

[Dog Problems]

I'm so happy Stacking is on PC/Steam finally. Come on, Iron Brigade!

 

[Wok]

I'm so happy Stacking is on PC/Steam finally. Come on, Iron Brigade!

I did not expect it tonight. Here is the store page with a 33% discount (9,99€ instead of 14,99&#8364.

Without transition, Unity3D + Android + iOS is free until April 8th. It could be of interest to devs here.

 

[DunderHassan]

Noticed that Stacking is included in the Double Fine Bundle too, will definitely buy it on summer sale!
Backlog is huge enough right now.

 

[hym]

I'm so happy Stacking is on PC/Steam finally. Come on, Iron Brigade!

Looks like there's also a Double Fine sale going on, Psychonauts and Costume Quest is -50%. And you can get all 3 as a pack, not sure if you get gift-able copies when already owning the games though.

The -33% for stacking for a week feels generous, those new game price cuts are usually 10%-20%.

 

[Oreoleo]

I'm so happy Stacking is on PC/Steam finally. Come on, Iron Brigade!

After Costume Quest (And to a lesser extent, Psychonauts since I just played it within the past few months), Double Fine can do no wrong. NO WRONG! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

 

[Dog Problems]

I agree. I played through their Sesame Street game and was surprised at how enjoyable it was even as an adult. They are one of only two companies (the other being Treasure) that I can say I like every single game they've put out.

I already own CQ and Psychonauts, I just want Stacking

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sims 3 is a huge improvement though.

 

[Like2Drive]

I would get Stacking pronto if I haven't all ready got it on the PS3.

PA doesn't over explain their jokes.

 

[ShaneB]

Gabe must know I was excited for Mass Effect 3 ebcause I just got my Dota 2 invite today. I've never played any sort of Dota game, so will be interesting. lol

But ME3 first!

 

[fluffydelusions]

Just purchased Sims 3 because my fiance told me she wanted it lol.

Can I use it free until april 8th, or if I "purchase it" before april 8th I have a lifetime copy?

 

[Lime]

Just bought Stacking. Double Fine deserves it.

 

[DirtRiver]

Now I just need to wait for Double Fine to launch Iron Brigade, bundle it all up and put it on sale for me to buy all their games in one nice sitting.

Hope they make tons of money out of it also.

 

[Wok]

From what I understand, you have a lifetime copy.

 

[Zimbardo]

if one buys Sims3 on Steam, do they give u a key that u can use to register the game on Origin as well?
