I think War Z is one of those games that would make my library feel tainted and want to make a new account like that one guy.
Activision is a pretty major supporter of Steamworks.

Activision is just the publisher. It doesn't own the IP. I don't see Bungie being willing to release on Steam.
Just play it if you want to, you can idle on it later when the cards come.
Why not? It's not like the time when they were owned by or under contract with Microsoft can be used as a precedent. And I know for a fact that a huge number of Bungie employees are avid Steam/Dota players too, so I would imagine they'd love to see their game there.
Why? Doesn't make sense.

Steam Announcements & Updates 2013 The Third - The Turn of a Friendly Card
2 of my favorite things combined: Alan Parsons Project and buying games.

I have a certain amount of morbid curiosity to see how a 20/100 Metacritic game plays. Add to that the fact that there's a lot of free Steam cards money flowing around...
Nostalgia levels: over 9000
Doubtful. Activision always releases games Steamworks on PC. Even those developed by studios not owned by Activision.
Any reason you're saying this? Or a source? I don't follow Blizzard too often, but to my knowledge they are almost treated as a separate entity from Activision. Battle.net reflects this as well.
So what is your reasoning behind Battle.net then?

..like, Activision's own version of Battlenet? Cause uh

Epic should put the Gears of War games on Steam. I wish that leaked but haven't seen anything on it.
Gears 1 should be on Steam, if nothing else. Microsoft has a DD version available on the GFWL Marketplace.

I think he thought that battlenet client leaked was to compete with Steam. Its not,it is for their own titles like sc,wc and diablo.
Since it was gifted to me, I tried to purchase one of the game + credit bundles, but Steam wouldn't let me.
Steam payment system knows you are making a mistake.Since it was gifted to me, I tried to purchase one of the game + credit bundles, but Steam wouldn't let me.
Anyway, what's on the horizon in terms of new games soon?

I realize this is a HUUUUGE reach and only applies to developing but here
Just a feeling. Would love to be wrong.

listen to the mad man
I'm pretty sure that part of the contract was added by Bungie to ensure that sequels to their game couldn't get farmed out to other developers.
Why single out certain developers though?

Yea. I know it really doesnt apply so probably shouldnt have posted that. At this point its just a gut feeling which doesnt mean much lol.

I installed a remote desktop app on my phone. So I can control my desktop from work. So I can idle games for cards while away.
What have I become?

Obsessed.
I find it weird Valve is mentioned; it's not secret that the company no longer makes games.
Company of Heroes 2 is out in about a week and a half. Shadowrun Returns is due some time this month, too.

Did they ever make games?
And no, no game you're about to list counts.

Everyone knows that Valve has never had an original idea and simply steals others.

Didn't Valve make that game called "Chess"?

Oh wow. That screenshot. Nostalgia. So many feels. Etc.
So much for holding developers accountable :/
This is pretty much the worst of the lot, with lots of negative press to boot, and they're making a killing right now.
It's very hard to make a compelling case against 3$ and zombies.
Wow, someone tried to recover password to my Steam account... too bad the recovery mail was sent to me
Should have enabled it a long time ago. Why didn't I do it??

I'll believe it when I see it. Haven't the devs completely vanished since late April?

Whatever happened to that chess game anyway? Why did Valve pull it off Steam?
EDIT:
P/S Valve, bring it back with trading cards and TF2 hats

IIRC, which I'm probably not because this happened almost a decade ago, it and the other in-built games were pulled around the time Valve opened up the store to third parties.

I kinda want to pre-order Shadowrun Returns but it has no firm release date and that discount ain't deep enough.

They really should bring it back.
At the very worst case scenario, make it something you have to get via the badge system.
The main thing keeping me from doing so was finding out that only Kickstarter pre-orders were getting the Berlin campaign, not Steam purchases. Lame as hell move on their part, since the way it was worded was that everyone would get Berlin as part of the game.

I had no idea a fourth one existed.
Supposedly removed from Steam (according to those forum lists) but one of my friends showed me that a link to buy it was still floating around. Figured you'd want it.

If only this were true for all games seemingly removed from Steam.
I was surprised when Everyday Genius popped up in my library after a friend gifted me the MumboJumbo pack. I wonder why it isn't being sold separately? One of the blokes from TrueThought posted on SPUF that the distribution rights had reverted back to them, but if this were true I'd assume the game wouldn't be in the pack.
