Bad wording or time to panic?

Does this mean GFWL dies July 1, 2014? oO
What kind of feaures do you plan to add to Enhanced Steam in the future if Valve don't recruit you?
Gabe get you're ass up and call shackles!

So Destructoid posted and pulled their review of The Bureau: Xcom Declassified. 4.5/10

Someone from reddit grabbed some screenshots before it was taken down.

Oh. Do I smell another Gerstmann-gate? Let's hope not.
We're trusting people on Reddit now?
I think they just broke the embargo.
It says visit the forums for more information, and there hasn't been anything posted there yet officially.
I was speculating that Microsoft had let publishers know that they would only be continuing the service through 2014. Corroborated by the fact that all of the major players were jumping out at the same time.
No because no one cares about that game. And it looks like it kinda deserves that score.
I hope he sticks to his guns unless he was factually wrong about stuff in the review. I didn't read it so I don't know.
But...if this is true, will GFWL officially die that date?
Pretty please?

It's happened to me a few times. I've taken a break from Payday for a while; it's a fantastic game but the community can be awful sometimes. Day one I had people kicking me because I wasn't a high enough level, which slowly turned into people demanding we grind a specific mission, which has evolved into booting everyone before finishing the game.
It's a good review that mostly backs up the score. That said, I'm sure other outlets are going to give it a 6/7. Four point five is rather harsh from what I read, it seems to just be a misguided and halfhearted yet entirely competent game.

Sounds like embargo from the lack of other reviews out

Jim Sterling basically confirmed it here on GAF.

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.
I've been working for quite some time adding previously-Chrome-only features to Firefox and that monumental task should be completed soon. I have plans on releasing the Firefox code open-source as well so that it can be better maintained and can stay up to date with the Chrome version going forward.
New features are tricky to predict, but I plan on adding a lot of new stuff to the Library tab that's available in the client, including sorting options, different views (such as grid view) and more.
Even if GabeN takes his sweet time getting around to call me (I know he's at Gamescom this week) I still have plenty to do. I've got a part time person coming in that will be doing some database data entry work, starting with adding the HLTB entries. If that works out, there are a lot of other things I've thought "That'd be cool to integrate if they had an API" that I may try to take on.
Of course, we could wake up tomorrow and the Steam store could be completely overhauled to v6 in which case I'd have to probably start over from scratch on a lot of features. Though I would hope that if they were going to take the time to overhaul the store they'd at least add some of Enhanced Steam's features.
Thank you!
Nah, Jim has posted worse press for publishers than this before. His Blatantly Better bit springs to mind. Reviews are obviously a different story, but Destructoid are very lax usually.

Bulletstorm's in there?
Hey, People Ca Fly, Epic, EA, whoever's in charge of the game right now?
Please?
Patch out GFWL?
No one cares? It sits #4 on Steam's top sellers.

I wouldn't mind getting Bulletstorm for free.

It's legitimate, I read the review and watched the video review this morning when it was up briefly.

It was a screen grab of the cached version which is now no longer up. Be cynical if you want but it looks like Destructoid accidentally broke the review embargo and then tried to quickly pull their review but people caught it.
Not a terribly surprising review, I'm interested to see what the rest of the enthusiast press has to say.
Every game that comes out makes at least a brief appearance near the top of the sellers chart, that doesn't mean anything. Peak concurrent users is a better indicator for how it's doing.

It means people are interested if they buy it derrick...

I'm trying but I keep randomly dying
It goes by revenue not number of purchases. A $50-$60 game requires less purchases to push it to the top over a bunch of other games on there that are cheaper. Like I said when it releases wait to see what the peak numbers are to get a better idea.
For those that already have an Oculus Rift and think to yourself "I really wish I could look more ridiculous."
Needs giant googly eyes on the back of the Oculus.
Okay, now I see where your coming from. Sorry.

It's one review.

To say that no one cares is still wrong. It's XCOM so fans will have a look. They may not care after release when it's rubbish but I know enough people who are interested.

I am so doing that when I get my Oculus.
I'm guessing they will work as long as the service is up, like regular Xbox Live for the Original Xbox.
I doubt we'll ever see a new release using GFWL.

Supposedly the review embargo for The Bureau: Declassified is up at 9pm tonight, roughly half an hour after the game releases on Steam. Looking at the pre-order reward tiers, at least people will get the Xcom pack, which includes Enemy Unknown, and Spec-Ops, so that's something.
But this just shows why you shouldn't pre-order. Both Spec-Ops and Xcom: Enemy Unknown could be bought for less than half the price of The Bureau during the summer sale.

It's all good. That's my only language and I can't understand seemingly half of what's said here lol.
I like Xcom but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy a third person shooter just because it has the name on it. That's not what Xcom is.
I'm quite excited for the game personaly. Preload done and I'm ready to jump in. Could not care less how it gets reviewed.

EDIT: Looks like a Steamworks developer trolling since they can now post to the news feed. I wonder if Valve will do anything...?

So a friend of mine called me and told me he bought a game. And he really really hates this game because it was expensive and he expected an amnesia-type game.
The game was Gone Home. So he asked me to come over to play it and he wanted to know what i think of it. And after playing it for 1 hour... i think it was something special. But nothing that could called a game. It was more an interactive-exploration-with-story-type.
Overall i wouldnt recommend it for everyone because it has no game elements, has nearly no puzzles, is 1 hour long and you may get something you didnt expected. I didnt cried like i did in Flowers but the game gave me goosebumps and that is something.
