whoa. nice giveaway.
I thought you meant AA and AC
It's hardly a game wtih mass appeal, La-Mulana is a difficult and obtuse game.
The high price with no early-discount,added with the fact that the game was discounted in several other outlets before it's steam release, including selling for $1 on Playsm own site, and not being feature during the sales surely didn't help.

Now I'm sad I didn't go for any of the games!
Exactly my reaction
Who griefed greif?
nice, uruguay is actually closer from here than where some of my friends live
I don't think anybody scoffed at assumptions that Arkham Origins would release sans GFWL. The disagreements were in relation to Grief insisting on purporting that the earlier Arkham games (and BioShock 2) were likely having GFWL surgically replaced with Steamworks based on very circumstantial evidence (evidence which has since grown to be more compelling).
I wasn't referring to the disagreements. I was more making a point that the guy didn't manage to break the news himself. I should have added a
Sooo... Do we buy it now for the inevitable chance that the GOTY edition will be better and we will continue whining to WB for a GOTY upgrade edition.
It's not region-locked: the RU/CIS sub has no runtime restrictions, uses the same Arkham Origins app as the ROW sub, and is giftable. The game is 799 Russiabucks, which is about USD$24.

I think JaseC's point still somewhat stands as Arkham Origins hasn't been a going concern since we saw the PC box art and its use of the generic PC branding over the GFW branding.
It's still nice to see, but then again we already talked about this last night in the thread.

Is there a date for this yet? Or is it just assumed they'll delay the PC version like they did with Arkham City?
Great news about discarding GFWL though.

Yeah, Arkham City was set to launch on PC at the same time up until about 2 weeks before release. Then they delayed it a month.
Even though I loved Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, I've been screwed over by WB just one too many times to be on board for Arkham Origins at launch.
well, looks like i have to order another doujin bundle: https://twitter.com/nyumedia/

Need more sales. Close to 200 games. Yay milestones. Coming for ya JaseC!
What made them change?

Probably the negative response and the fact that, at the time of sale, the website said you'd retroactively be given a Steam key if you bought it.
they were getting some pretty bad feedback in the Groupees chat and on their twitter

Thank you for Capsized. I wanted to grab it during the Summer Sale but there was too much to buy at once.
Good good.
https://twitter.com/nyumedia/status/365117804950732800Oh, all right, then! Change of position: Bundle purchasers will receive Steam keys if Croixleur is greenlit!
Does this mean I can potentially will get two steam keys, one from indie royale and one from groupees? Neat
I'm guessing that could change closer to release though, if they add the restrictions in?

Disgusting tweets like this one?
Calling that tweet disgusting requires almost exactly the same amount of hyperbole as that person using the word "abusive."
Except that, on the Groupee page, the game was being sold under the pretense that you'd retroactively be given a Steam key. So people were mislead into purchasing the game and had an actual grievance.
Also, when you take into consideration that negative votes on greenlight don't really matter, it isn't even much of a threat.

Somehow it kinda is.
I mean they wanna be featured in a bundle with (I guess) the exposure to their greenlight-site, so people will vote for it. But then they wont offer any Steamkeys, but want the ones who already bought that Game to vote for it.
Though I think they should have at least feature that Game in a Bundle that has a higher BTA then.

interesting word choice.
It was pretty bad on their part to not give a key to begin with, nice to see a change based on user feedback.

If you like fighting games, Yatagarsu plays close to Street Fighter III 3rd Strike.
Otherwise Yousei and Class 0 are visual novels.

Ether Vapor remaster has cards too and its not bad if you like shoot em ups.
I found that tweet disgusting due to the attempt to "punish" the publisher/developer. Let's not pretend that this particular guy wouldn't have voted for the game if they did promise Steam keys from the outset.
Pardon me, but I am not sure what pretence you are referring to here? I might have missed something.

I'm scrounging for an invite to the GAF group on Steam, please... hopefully I'm not being too fussy, but I'd rather PM my ID to an admin than post it here. Thanks in advance!
I'm not entirely sure on whether or not such changes affect exiting pre-purchases, but I'd wager runtime restrictions being added closer to release is unlikely.
Edit: I was going to say that I could check by installing my RU version of Dishonored, but it doesn't have the onlyallowrunincountries restriction.

Since going up, the game has featured this icon:
They only said they wouldn't be honoring it via Twitter, yet they didn't remove the icon from the page.
The guy had a legit grievance, as the game was marketed -- either maliciously so or negligently so -- as providing a Steam key in the future.
