Yep. Just go to your account details (top right corner) and you will see MKRetail at the top of your purchase history.
This will still happen, you can be sure of it. Maybe not to you, but it's guaranteed that someone will get burned at every sale.
Oh it's definitely there, I meant in the actual install/uninstall games lists you click on to play. Normally early released keys, the game would show up there, but not be able to install. It's not there at all, which is strange.

If that bothers you, never get Doom on Steam. I had to put my list in small view to properly illustrate this but not only are the games improperly ordered but they're on completely different continents.
Even worse, it looks like Doom made all your other games blurry!If that bothers you, never get Doom on Steam. I had to put my list in small view to properly illustrate this but not only are the games improperly ordered but they're on completely different continents.
I know that feel, the remakes of Monkey Island 1 and 2 are the same. And as with Doom, MI2 is on the upper side, while MI1 is on the bottom.
When I purchased those games and looked at my games library, I almost suffered a stroke.
I did too I am actually quite stocked to finally be playing it as well.
Even though it's in the freaking OP. EVERY TIME. I even made a sparkly banner, telling people to wait for the last day if it hasn't been a daily deal yet. Every time there is a casualty.
Yep. It's even worse for me. Doom 3, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, Doom 2, 17 other games, Final Doom, 50 other games, Master Levels for Doom 2, 91 other games, The Ultimate Doom

This is your library? Why don't you just make a category? Title it Doom and put all your Doom games in that category?If that bothers you, never get Doom on Steam.

It doesn't work for the current lot of games because they're games with cashback or GMG credit. Coupon codes generally don't work on those games, I think.

Unfortunately, even when categorized the games will be out of order.
My Far Cry category goes: Far Cry 3.
Far Cry.
FC3 Blood dragon.
Force unleashed 2
Force unleashed.
Witcher 2

you get the idea.
It is a nightmare that I only survive by keeping my categories closed at all times, so I never see the disarray in my otherwise careful archiving.
I already sent you an invite a while ago.
I think you're thinking of someone else, first time I've asked.

I don't really care about game arrangement, just that if sequels being out of order bugs someone then Doom will probably destroy them.

Guys you gotta stop posting actual images of your befuddled libraries, it is driving me slightly nuts.
For example I have now had to go through my library and sort all my first person non sequelised games into their own seperate categories, rather than the original First Person category.

Speaking of horrible naming inconsistencies, fuck the Duels of the Planeswalkers devs for naming their titles the way they did.

Magic the Gathering -- Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012
Magic the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013

How is Dawn of War II even behind Dawn of War?
That doesn't make any sense

At least I haven't considered starting a fresh account lol.
Yet.
ARGH dont remind me.
My warhammer category is completely misleading.
How are you supposed to know which DLC to play in which order you insensitive inconsiderate perverts!
I really hope that there will be an update for steam one day that will allow us to sort our libraries as we wish, rather than their messed up system.

So if I buy Rise of the Triad from GMG, is the Apogee pack Steam-redeemable too?

You can get a $2 credit with it, so it's essentially $1.74. Steam will not beat that price.

Is credit usable with all games?

Yup!
Where can I find all of his deals? I thought he was worried about Steam shutting him down or something.
I noticed a while ago that if you click on "Pending Gifts" in your inventory, there's a "gift history" button, but it only shows gifts you've sent; it really ought to also show gifts you've received/redeemed.
He posts regularly in the BST thread. Here's his latest list.
Edit: I do recall him saying that he'd be shutting up shop soon, however that was a good few months ago now, so maybe he worked something out with Support.
I remember sending you an invite, and you already were apart of the group when I looked tonight.
Awww ya
Has some pretty nasty mouse acceleration that you can't get rid of. PC Gaming Wiki fix only works for Halo CE.
Got ya
If you guys don't like your Steam games being out of order, you could just make a physical backup. Get a bunch of DVD cases, print custom box art for front/side/backs, one for each game in your library. Organize however you want, then when you want to pick out a game, just walk to your bookcase, browse, select, and then find it on Steam and launch!
You could also put a backup of the game files on a thumbdrive, then store those in the cases. That way, you'd always have a backup, plus the cases wouldn't just be empty. With how much we're saving with these sales, you could buy the cases, artwork, and flash media and still probably pay less than someone who just buys console games.
Let me know if you have any other problems that need solving!
