I have probably missed this but has Hitman: Contracts shown up in the registry? I thought it'd finally see a Steam release alongside the HD Collection on consoles.
Is that... Gaben as Don Juan?
Wow. Amazon ran out of keys already for the Paradox 2012 Ultimate Pack. This is exactly why I always try to buy things on Amazon right when the deals activate.
anyone using the Big Picture Mode?
every time I quit a game, I can't seem to click anything on the menu unless I do shift-tab or something...
and do DX10 games like DMC4 not allow the Steam Overlay?
At least they sell what they have, unlike Gamersgate
Overlay works for me in DMC4
You can't actually add keys to your inventory through Steam, so at the very least he's obtaining them through Steam trading and not a reselling site. That should be perfectly legitimate and not considered grey market as Valve allows it.
Buying cheap keys from eastern Europe and reselling them for a profit is definitely the definition of gray market. Not only is it exploiting the system and putting that system in jeopardy (that's meant to discourage piracy in poorer markets), but who knows what happens if publishers get PO'd are force Valve to take action. Do you want your account littered with these titles when it does?
And as someone else mentioned, if it's being done through VPN, it's most certainly against the ToS and gray market material.

Might be a long shot but hey:
I'm playing Fallout 3 right now, and wanna do the slaver missions at Paradise falls, guy at the gate gave me the mission and said I couldn't go in until I gave him slaves. I walked in anyway thinking he would just stop me or there would be a wall or something. There wasn't and he started shooting me so I just ran away. Now every time I go back there he shoots me and I can't continue the mission. I already made 1 slave but to make more I need more slave collars from that guy. Even adding the collars in by the console doesn't work. I have no earlier save so I can't go back. Is there a known fix for this anybody might have figured out?
I tried waiting 3 days and giving them a slave but they still shoot me.
I think they're permanently hostile for the rest of the game. It's been years since I played FO3. Get your itchy trigger finger ready and blow all of them away. You'll feel better. I know I did.Might be a long shot but hey:

Re-read the post. He's not buying keys; you cannot redeem keys as inventory items. (And I really wish EviLore would remove the note of Valve randomly requesting proof-of-purchase from the "CD key resellers are banned" thread, because that's completely and utterly false.)
What's actually occuring is one of two things. He is either:
- As TheExodu5 mentioned, reselling Steam gifts obtained through Eastern European friends, or
- Reselling games obtained wholesale through other legit DD services, such as GamersGate (yes, this is possible)
Whether or not these nuances should be included under the current umbrella is something for EviLore to decide.

including DX10 mode?
How is serving as a middle man not "gray market" material? It's kind of like money laundering in a game economy sense. Somebody buys games cheap in an eastern market Steam store, gifts them to legit customers in the west to clean them up, and then has that person do the selling of the gifts.
I'm skeptical of the second part. Unless we're talking wholesalers from eastern Europe (which goes back to the first point of using a westerner to clean them up).
We already know what DD take. They take a 30 percent cut. 70 percent is the wholesale number. So it seems impossible to think GG is selling them at a loss (or getting some bulk discount that not even Valve gets).
Plus how would the second part even be possible? You can't redeem codes into gifts. These have to be purchased directly unless I'm missing something.
Let's just say I'm aware of this avenue through a friend of a friend.
Dammit, I was just 1 achievement away form 100%.I noticed Rochard just got some new challenge level achievements, DLC I guess?
and do DX10 games like DMC4 not allow the Steam Overlay?

I think DX10 worked fine with the overlay for me, but broke Fraps and then DX9 was the opposite (Fraps worked, overlay didn't). It seems to be an issue unique to DMC4.

Huh. Learn something new every day. I guess publishers really do prefer to give excellent deals to anyone who's not Valve. Probably a good thing for us consumers though.
Was all set to buy Omerta but RPS's demo thoughts don't read too well.
I have no idea what else people were really expecting from Omerta. Everything I have seen seems like exactly what I had in mind.

I hear Frozen Synapse is well-regarded around here. My only squad-turn-based game experience is XCOM, which I really enjoyed. Should I give it a try?
Checking out a demo is a good idea. I feel like it's some sort of weird strategy/puzzle game more than turn-based strategy, but I was really bad at it. You put soldiers in spots, or tell them to move or shoot or guard, then everyone runs to the next spot and possibly dies. Then you keep doing that, or repeat the whole thing but start using different routes to avoid dying as much.I know it's not much like XCOM, and I'm interested in the single-player element mostly. I'll check out the demo, thanks!
Would anyone be interested in buying a Omerta: City of Gangsters key from me?
I am willing to part with it for £15/$24.00.
PM me if you are interested.
EDIT: The key is from GreenManGaming by the way.
Good timing, sir.
