I'd be really interested in seeing how many people signed up for it...
So did the original Ravaged get eaten up by zombies, or is the original still in there somewhere?
You are such a good rat.
I hate this crap. Just release the game separately and give pre-existing owners of the previous title a copy for free.

Nothing interesting...just something related to directX
It's happening?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Usually I'd agree with you, but the original game was such a mess. It was also online multiplayer arena style with no single player option that I'm aware of.
Since the game was essentially dead, it's nice to see that it's at least usable now. But true, it probably would have been easier to just make a whole new game and give it to previous buyers.

ha ha...this guy
Basically just large content updates for an online multiplayer game; I can see why they'd update the title rather than release a new game and have two separate entries. That said, when the scores are really shitty and they rebrand to try and fool people into buying it I am not amused and Valve shouldn't allow it. Orion: Dino Horde > Beatdown for example.
If the changes are significant to the point where a rebranding is deemed appropriate, then there's justifiable cause for releasing a new title. In fact, if the rationale is that the re-launch is intended to wash away the sour taste of the previous experience, then I'd argue it'd be wiser to launch a separate game as at least the handing out of free copies to existing owners of the prior entry engenders some goodwill.
You might be thinking, "Jase, you're just annoyed because there was an opportunity for a developer in increase your game count and it wasn't seized", and my answer to that is...
..."Exactly."

This looks like a lot of fun!
Worst example of that was War-Z -> Infestation, where they managed to remove the metascore during the sale. Now that was just fucking underhanded.
This is where I post this again. I'm really looking forward to it.
Have your order refunded and buy the 3DS version.

Dunno if it has been posted already. I saw the discounted games but only in the cart-view I saw the promo banner on the right:

You'll be able to flog those off to collectors for a decent price since F2P games aren't tethered to one's account -- once an F2P game is removed from Steam, it's gone from a user's library for good the moment it's uninstalled.

Interesting. Also interesting is the fact that I now own the "Starter pack". So - I guess it's something...
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that, as I see it more like MMO content updates rather than a completely new game. As to the latter complaint, existing owners of Ravaged did effectively get a free copy of Ravaged Zombie Apocalypse. Does it need to be a separate library entry to engender goodwill?

It looks like previous owners own the "Starter Pack" DLC, which is normally 13,99. Should be included in your copies as well.

It's weird because the Starter Pack says "30 days from purchase". So I guess I get 2x experience for the next 30 days on a game I probably won't play

I don't see the From Paris sale in the client but when I search I can find the games discounted. You really have to dig through the Specials tab to find them. Even at 30$ Remember Me costs too much, think I'd rather put 20$ of that towards Sir, You Are Being Hunted.
It's a psychological thing. In this case, the existing title has just been patched; in the alternative case, there's a free game.
I don't think there's anything inherently gained by rebranding a title via a content update.Remember Me has the same 40% discount it had a month ago. Capcom is terrible at Steam.

I love the game of thrones tv show is the game worth getting?

And I have it on good authority that Saoirse digs guys with big... Steam libraries. So a missed opportunity to add another title to the collection is more serious than people might think.
Anyone wanting to get caught up for A Machine for Pigs?
Quote me saying "I'd love to soil myself" and you can have your very own Steam key for Amnesia: The Dark Descent!
I'd love to soil myself
Is it really that scary?

Thomas Was Alone
Also here's a Thomas Was Alone key. Don't need to quote me. Just click quote to reveal the key.
Personally, I think there are games more scary out there. But yeah, it definitely has a reputation for a reason! Play in the dark, with headphones, for a really awesome time.

Any early impression of Sir, You are Being Hunted, yet?
Heh, Amnesia was one of the PC games I bought. I bought it from last years' Steam summer sale but haven't finished it yet, it's too scary for me. D:
Steam is downloading a BioShock 2 update. I'm sure Grief already investigated what it's about, so now I'll scan the last few pages of the thread to see if he already talked about it. Right now I'm inclined to believe that it is actually happening, and he was right all along.
Haha, it's OK. People like Chrome, so I can see how they may like Opera 15 too. I hate it because it removed everything I liked about Opera, which was the reason I've been using it instead of any other browser for the last 12 years or so. They took away notes, download manager, tab management, tons of customization options, bookmarks and probably many other things that I don't know because I haven't installed it and never will (though I've read about it, I'm not hating it just because!) Same with the mobile version: I installed the new one and had to roll back to the previous one, because it had ruined many things and there was no point in using it anymore.
