STEAM Announcements & Updates 2014 II - The Definitive Edition

Enslaved is fine, unless you happen to be in Japan or China.



Theoretically it carries the risk of your account being restricted (the SSA says that VPN usage may lead to one's account being banned/disabled, but Valve stopped doing that almost two years ago now in favour of a restriction-based system so people could still access their existing library), however there are no verified or reputable reports of Valve caring about VPN usage when it comes to activating region-locked keys or unlocking games early; neither affect Valve's bottom line.

Edit: Uh, fixed. Got my wires crossed for a moment there.

Edit edit: You can even use a VPN to get around the recently-introduced gifting/trading restriction but I wouldn't recommend that.

Hmmm! Thanks for the quick reply. I' weary of this! If it's not to bad to ask, how often have you done this?

Many times over the past ~2.5 years, most recently with Football Manager 2014 (Sega removed the onlyallowrunincountries flag from the Brazilian sub but it was still region-locked at the activation level). I haven't had a single issue.
 
Only 1 coupon left, which should I get?

1 - Dark Souls ( GFWL and no news about removal )
2 - Enslaved / Inmersion ( Inmersion is US restricted )
3 - Thief Pack ( Old games and might be on a bundle down the road )

:(

In the interest of supporting belated PC ports I'd say either Dark Souls or Enslaved. The latter is the more recent of the two.

One more. I really dig this game, hope whoever wins gets some enjoyment out of it too!

Best you can do is ask someone with spares to help you out in exchange for PayPal Bucks or something else of equal value. Alternatively, you might find people in the trading scene selling the game for a key or two.

Thanks that's what I'll do.

I have $3 of the PayPals that I will transfer via the internet to anyone that can purchase me the Enslaved and Inversion bundle. Let me know, thanks!

If you've never played Dark Souls yet, get Dark Souls.

Edit: Though two for one is also great lol.

Quantity over quality, JaseC will accept this logic

Quite funny to think I have Naruto, Pacman, Naruto, Ace Combat, Dark Souls, Ridge racer and Enslaved on my PC. Keep going Namco.

People, use up all your EC coupons today as it's the last day with the exception of Dark Souls which ends in a few days.

Dark Souls or Thief. Out of those on the list, Enslaved is the only one I don't own but after playing the console one, I'm not sure I even want it in my library.

But but but... I am confused @_@

"Error! Error!"

More football manager games? Are these actually fun? (Note: I am not a football fan)

Probably not if you're not a fan of the sport. I've added it to my list of licensed stuff so I'll be picking it up sooner rather than later.

Ah yes, I was thinking about the other Saber game Timeshift. Maybe because it never goes on sale or something :)

It does go on sale... just never outside of Acti-specific sales or the Summer/Autumn/Winter Sales. It was 33% off for the duration of the 2011 Summer Sale but hasn't been discounted by more than 25% since. :(

I played MW last night(actually with a good community in terms of size and friendly) and was fun. The singlr player is great.

And i want Amalur and a RPG but the only consensus is how easy it is. And i have a lot of backlog and i still with the Spelunky drug (and again some Dota)

JaseC i need more backlog right?

Would if I could. Enslaved look pretty cool.

Has Street Fighter 4 always been able to run without Steam? I'm not complaining, I don't like having to run my DRM riddled game through more (nicer) DRM, but it is odd. What does suck is starting to play Yun then reading about the nerf to his DK in Ultra. :( Ah well.

You can never have enough of a backlog.

US only or whatever, so keep that in mind. I didn't want to stuff around to activate it.

It depends. How much do you like fetch quests? Because that's 90% of Amalur.

If you got more and won't be using them, are you willing to help another guy out? :)

I'm really sorry, guys. The one I used for Arthea turned out to be the last one.
 
Couple more to use the voucher. Please respect the no lurkers specification and Inversion is supposed to be US only.

$1.99. Usually I don't bother with inconsequential DLC but I'm making an exception here because the two bonus tracks are licensed.
