Why is everybody worried about keys being country coded to Brazil all of the sudden? I don't think there has ever been a key locked to Brazil only ever on Steam so far.

So I saw. Crazy.
*examines closely*Um, guys... wut?

EDIT: Looks like a Steamworks developer trolling since they can now post to the news feed. I wonder if Valve will do anything...?
Well...it doesn't say stearnpowered...
Give me his address. I will "take care" of him.

They should probably just revert to how it was before. Or make it super obvious as to where a post is coming from rather than just author name

Didn't realize there was a community announcements section either. Whatta day.

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.
Visit Steam -> News Section on homepage (towards bottom) -> "See All" -> Click on "All News" to the right.
It's there... it's just... not real.

Sorry if this was discussed before (I didn't see anything about it). I used this link to install the Rayman Legends Demo: steam://install/243340...
...and the demo uses uPlay. I guess it's safe to assume that the full game will as well, even thought it's not currently listed on the store page. In the end it's not shocking, but I was hoping that they'd keep Legends DRM-free as they did with Origins.

Not exactly something someone outside the purview of 4chan would be up to the task for themself

Yup. Went crazy for a second there, thought something was actually happening.
Anyone have impressions of Sir, You are Being Hunted? Twenty dollars seems rather steep, but it looks promising.
Yeah. A tad disappointing, specially since I was looking forward to check the leadeboards once more people here started playing it.
Oh well. Still, might be my GOTY2013 and such a minor detail will not sour me on the game!

Just checking, guys, but when GFWL goes offline, there will be no way to play games that use the DRM at all, short of piracy or playing on consoles?

Some stuff I have been playing:
Mark Of The Ninja - first 3 levels. Very fun so far, I am not completely in love with it but it's fun to play. Sometimes it seems very ummm... dark? And I have cranked my brightness all the way up. I don't know what I am not so much a fan of, maybe the cutscenes? It is pretty solid game and I want to play it just now again (after my hands are healed from those two games under this)
Rayman Origins - Goddamn is this the best looking platformer or what? It's BE-AU-TI-FUL. The platforming itself is great fun too, sometimes I just can't seem to get the glide to trigger though heh... Tons of stuff to do there, can't wait. Oh and it's hard! Not Rayman 1 hard but close!
Super Meat Boy - Everyone has played this already, but I only played the first chapter with keyboard year or so ago before giving up but now I am back with a bang with a PS3 controller and easily navigated through the first world. Goooo platformer genre!
Someone remind me I must play System Shock 2 tomorrow or I'll never finish it.
Oh and I got a Hotline Miami booster, decided to open but not foils. I haven't got a single foil yet and I have gotten like 100 cards.

I really hope Valve takes action against this dev.

Do we know if Dark Souls PC was developed internally at From Software, or if it was outsourced?

I smell a ban from Steam.
The maturity level (lack thereof) is kind of astounding for someone who's making their living off of the service.

I'm kind of sad for those GFWL games that have become abandonware, like Viva Pinata. At least games like Bioshock and Batman have active developers that can do something about the GFWL situation.
How many people at Valve post on Reddit?
Yeah, he should switch to G4WL, I'm sure MS won't mind.

Thanks anyway.
I asked about this in the GFWL shutdown freakout thread, but no one answered. I don't see any reason why games that use profiles for saving would be affected as long as you create an offline profile for yourself (though obviously you're not going to be able to use online features or collect achievements), but people seem to be treating it as gospel that all GFWL games will be rendered completely unplayable by the shutdown, even if you've been playing with an offline profile all along. Why? I don't know.

Valve should just "troll" them and actually ban their games from Steam.
Woo, got it thanks!

listen to the mad man
Bad assumption; I suspect when all is said and done, this person is someone who has pre-release Steamworks access as part of the Steamworks opening related to Greenlight. Or if not, that it's a random employee at a much larger developer or publisher.

The real question is: why did Valve decide to change the news feeds section in such a way that could allow this type of confusion / abuse.
I can help you, the key isn't working then? PM me your message and I'll translate it to portuguese for you.
EDIT: Sorry for the dp

If Half-Life 3 ever gets announced i bet no one will believe it's real.

I'm not worried about the games I already have installed. What happens if I ever want to reinstall my game? If any of those games require server-side authentication then I will be screwed, and will probably have to download a cracked version. How is that good? I paid good money for a lot of these GFWL games, why should I have to through hoops to play "my" games?
I didn't say it was good. (Not really sure where I gave you that impression.) I'm just saying that maybe we're not going to be screwed as badly by this as some people seem to be assuming.
