What will happen to my Steam games guise?!

I heard Valve is being sold to Apple, and Gabe has decided to go full-time into the Cutlery business.
 
Looks like Aliens: Colonial Marines is either critic-proof, like Duke Nukem Forever, or enough people pre-ordered the game (why? no discount and a weapon skin) before it was released because it's the current top seller on Steam. With Fable 3 right behind it.

I don't know, ask JaseC.


I still love you man, shame you'll never get a complete Steam collection

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
XCOM had the same thing. It's just a (pretty smart) way of doing preorder incentives when you aren't working with physical goods and have a easily monitored global tracker that customers can watch.
Or you can just give all the rewards right away so that everyone who wants them preorders right away rather than only consider doing it after/if it reaches a given point. Which it probably will reach because who knows if it's even real tracking. It's not like they'll get any press from this, with news updates every time a goal is achieved, especially since you say it's not new.

They do it this way because at each threshold there will be additional new social media/word of mouth for the preorder that there might not have been otherwise, I believe. It's just part of the marketing campaign.

RE6 has no price for me, I'm in Argentina. Also it wouldn't allow me to add it to my wishlist.

If you are in the beta, they fixed it today with the update.
It does appear that they un-borked the beta client for multi-monitor setups...I wonder what they broke in exchange. It might be placebo effect at work, but I think it feels snappier.

Why are all of my Ys games updating...

I guess they updated a couple of things with the way the steam site and api reads your games/wishlist/stats. Store pages now tell me if I own a game even with a private community page.
