I know for sure Bring Down the Sky does. And it's shittastic because it's free with the game... for those couple installs. And then you have to buy another cd-key for the main game to get more.

My Pinnacle Station is a DL through Origin. I haven't had any issues installing and running it on multiple machines
so far
BDtS has a version released recently by Bioware that has no DRM or restrictions to my knowledge.
There are quite a few posts out there about it and I was able to track it down with a Google search or two.
Still got 12GB left to download. Hope I can start it tonight, though I should finish Dust before I do it.
That was incredibly shitty indeed. I don't know how someone could ruin a free DLC (or at least its distribution), but EA managed to do it.
Yeah, I actually got it for free with the Origin voucher debacle last year, and it redeemed on Origin. But that's the exception, not the rule.
According to the Indie Mega Booth website (PAX), N++ is also coming to PC.

A true testament to what our REAL reasons for disliking Origin are.

Lots of things could be done everywhere to make things easier for users. Steam mandating that launchers always have skip parameters in launch options, giving publishers freedom in DLC releases. I'm not seeing the case that these issues are somehow a tipping point. Not seeing either how lack of initiative in supporting older media would affect your view point of their newer titles that are able to actually be developed with these back ends in mind. Unless EA actively touted themselves somewhere along the same vein as something like GOG, their priorities given their giant back catalog of games could have never bode well for keeping everything neat and orderly.

I watched the trilogy over the weekend and I agree, they hold up. Don't know what they were thinking for the designs in the game.

Used to play N at the computer lab in Jr. High and would compete against friends, good memories. N+ which was released a few years later was rad as well, although those coop levels were absurd. Having to have 5 people survive while one person does a treacherous obstacle course was vicious.

Rayman Origins - the game where every stage is like from Super Mario World's SPECIAL world. I think the game just called me a loser and told my mom was fat after dying like 15 times on one "room"
Is the SP more like Chaos Theory or Conviction?

haha, one of the ice levels was giving me a lot of trouble today. Offered me to leave that section and I was like hell no, I'm going to advance no matter what. And I did, phew
Just a heads up: seems like SNK is now letting everyone who pre-ordered King of Fighters 13 in the beta.
THERE. NEVER. WAS.

100 new games? It is bad enough keeping track of things as it is.

Done with Rayman Origins. My body is ready.
Actually, reading that there's like 40 levels from Origins in Legends kind of makes me regretting playing through Origins in some way.
Sucks that it doesn't launch at midnight.

Haha, put this in the LoS thread, but if you were impressed by the first titan...

They offered you 15 indie games? Well here is 100.
Of course Sony is like the Criterion collection for indies so numbers don't matter.

Anyone know? Or do skins just not work on Mac?
Once again, I don't disagree that everyone else isn't perfect either. But I'll remind you that I'm talking about games released by EA, which owns Origin. In the case of external launchers on Steam, the only fault in Valve's part is not forcing other publishers and devs not to use them. They aren't responsible for how those devs decide to use Steam. EA is responsible for how its own games use Origin.
And I'll remind you again that I'm not only talking of older games. Mass Effect 3 and SimCity came out in 2012 and 2013, respectively, well after Origin's creation in 2011 (which in turn is nothing but the new version of EADM). There's no excuse for either of them to require an external launcher or buying DLC from a separate site/shop. I wouldn't consider those games as part of their back catalog. And neither is Battlefield 3, which launches through a fucking website for no apparent reason at all.
Seems to me like not even newer games are being developed with those backends in mind. Which in turn makes me question the utility and reason for the existence of such a client.
What Valve did was total annihilation against the PS4's indie campaign.
Kind of bummed that Valdis Story didn't make the cut, but it's fairly new. Super excited to see Oniken and Escape Goat finally make the cut. Teslagrad was another awesome look puzzle platformer I was looking forward to.

Being forced to buy ME3 DLC through Origin while still using Bioware points is a crime against humanity. Whoever made that call should never be allowed near buttons that have functions again.

Sony picked up Wuvcrafts interactive novel for publishing confirmed.
I'm only 2 story missions in, but so far it's a pretty solid mix of both styles of play. There are some smaller missions that definitely evoke a Chaos Theory vibe. For example, one mission you get from Grim has you infiltrating a seafort at night time, and getting detected means you start from the beginning. You're given 3 places to tap and can do them in any order, followed by an exfiltration.

So happy that Escape Goat and Neo Scavenger got greenlit. So happy.

I think this is more a response to people generally hating Greenlight.
I don't see why Valve would need to compete with PS4. One is PC, one is console.

Yeah, I hope that means he get to release Escape Goat 2 on Steam without any fuss.

Oh wow, thanks! Rome II does not appear to be region locked. I'll consider buying through them if it's nothing shady.

Because steambox? Valve will want to remain *the* home of indie games.

I'm not seeing the distinction or logic between Valve's policies and EA's on launchers. Valve can approve or deny whatever they want, if their policy's end result is that the capability of a detracting launcher can exist, then it's irrelevant how the chain of responsibility leads up to it.
The rest of this is just a circular argument as to expectations vs practicality. The amount of good will or faith lost isn't worth the money required in reworking and retooling existing code, that counts the same for Bioware's archaic web portal. The justification of battlelog is fairly straightfoward. Unless there's some game who's ingame multiplayer browsing and community capabilities allow for the same freedom as battlelog's that I'm missing, it makes sense to consolidate everything down to a single interface.

steambox is not meant to be a console.

Did uPlay just get an update that bypass that extra click you need to do in the uPlay client before a game starts? Just tried the Rayman Legends demo again and some update installed and it signed me to uPlay and the game started automatically after that. Pretty sure that didn't happen the last time I tried the demo, but have no other uPlay games installed so can't check if it's a consistent thing.

Well we haven't seen it as such, but isn't it a box that plugs into a TV with big picture mode and plays games?
I can't see how that doesn't compete with the PS4 and Xbox.

in the same way a pc is compared to a console. that is what the steambox will be,something in the middle. it will have linux os and you can install anything like a pc along with changing parts.
They're not shady, they're legit. I have an awful lot of respect for them for the way they handled the Saints Row IV keys.

The demo does at least. And well, I suspect they want to use uplay for leaderboards and stuff though.
Pls halp
My nephew can't save in Batman Arkham City. When starting the game there is no GFWL overlay at all. Told my sister to install GFWL manually but that doesn't seem to be working at all- It just says "an error has occurred". Downloading GFWL with Microsoft Flight does the same thing .
Did they possibly remove GFWL from the installation but not the requirement or something? I know they're getting rid of it soon but my nephew is pretty pissed that he can't save in his new Batman game.
Any ideas?

It's been doing that for a while. If they would just add an option to auto-exit it after quiting a game, Ubisoft would have like 20 big picture mode worthy games.
Yeah that's annoying. I have like 10 extra hours of "time played" in Far Cry 3 because of that.
Any help please?

On the website or actual steam?
Actual Steam it's Settings/Interface/ Then the very top drop down bar is language selection
