STEAM Announcements & Updates 2014 II - The Definitive Edition

Not open for further replies.
Plague Inc: Evolved is coming to Steam Early Access tomorrow. Seems like another game ready to have the "overpriced port of a mobile game" tag applied to it.

I really like the mobile game though, so I'll probably pick this up when it goes on sale.

It has MP... sounds awesome.
And this:
I will be releasing a brand new trailer for Plague Inc: Evolved shortly – fans of Half Life may recognise the doctor in it…

HL3 incoming

Finally made it to Olmec for the first time after 50 or so hours. So many bombs, much jetpack, wow. I got so close but he stunned me and then I was a pancake.

Can I sticky bomb him directly or do I have to drop him in the lava? I tried to get him in the lava, maybe 3 layers away from it too.

On Hell?

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.

If the first game they put up is XIII I would still buy it.

Same. I wish the new HD Remaster of Final Fantasy X was on PC / Steam.

It does work theoretically, it just expects a character-for-character exact match and that can be difficult to achieve if the original key had URL tags or the nuke PM adds URL tags or there's any punctuation confusion. It works poorly, in other words :p

Ah. ;)

So, Square Enix is considering bringing more games in the Final Fantasy series to PC.

If they end up porting or re-releasing IX, I'll buy immediately. Hell 7, 8, 11, and 14 are the only ones on PC right now. Re-release any of the others on Steam and I'll buy again.

The problem with IX is that it's PSX-exclusive. I wouldn't expect Squeenix to make the effort porting something that isn't on the Xbox/X360/X1/PS4.

You have to drop him in the lava. Try to get him all the way to the right or left, and then bomb your way down to the lava on the opposite side, without falling. Then bring him over to his death.

Thought this was an interesting article over at Polygon. I had thought about setting up a Steam account for my son and loading it with duplicate game keys, then eventually gift it to him when he is older. He is only 5 right now and I mostly have his gaming experience silo-ed to the xBox. But an interesting topic overall:

When your Steam account becomes a family heirloom

Pretty good article. Both my daughter (16) and son (13) have had their own Steam accounts for about 2 years now. Sometimes I pass along bundle extras, sometimes they want a particular game and I'll gift it to them on Steam for their birthday / Christmas / whatever. Steam Family Sharing has helped, since they can now play games from my account when I'm not using it.

I know full well that they'll take these games with them digitally when they move out and go to college (my daughter will be a senior in high school next year, damn I feel old!) and I believe I've instilled a love of video games in them that will likely be passed on to my grandchildren and perhaps generations following.

I'm new to the PC market but are EA games exclusive to Origin or can they be redeemed on Steam?

Exclusive to Origin, though some older titles need to be added to your account manually by a CSR. The only exceptions to this rule are the Steam keys that were offered during EA's Humble Bundle.

Edit: I was referring to EA's own games in particular. As Casimir says later in the thread, for externally-developed titles published through EA Partners it's possible for Steam keys to be made available, such as with Kingdoms of Amalur.

I think they are an Italian firm called Game Service. Couldn't find a website for them.
It happens that
505 Games S.r.l. publishes video games for personal computers and consoles. 505 Games S.r.l. was formerly known as DB International S.r.l. The company is based in Milan, Italy. 505 Games S.r.l. operates as a subsidiary of Digital Bros SpA.
Could be a connection, still need more solid proof though.
it is reselling keys. not involve with dev.
Any source?
