STEAM Announcements & Updates 2014 III - Don't Believe The Tags

I like how thread titles on Neogaf have just jumped on the "only mention Sony and pretend other platforms don't exist" marketing bandwagon.

GAF has been pretty Sony oriented for the most part I've noticed. Xbox One has been treated as the lesser of the two solely based on hardware while Wii U is the abused step-child. PC gaming is just an anomaly to a lot of these people.

On the other hand, it may seem that it's almost matter of fact that it is going to come to PC. That particular trend I wouldn't mind continuing.

So, Virtua Tennis 2009 is still sold on GamersGate even though it was pulled from Steam yonks ago. I think I'll ask Sega for a Steam key.

From what I read it was the opposite around 05-07. It all depends on messaging and support. Sony have been playing lots of gamers like a fiddle since the PS4 reveal. They played their cards right and had constant help from MS who went out of their way to trip at almost every step. I'd like to think if the roles were reversed the situation on GAF would change too.
 
So I'm trying to add funds to my steam wallet via CC but keep getting this error:

There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

Tried to buy the game with my cc straight up, same error? any fixes? is this just steam being a bad little boy?

I hope my credit card isn't getting charged because I've tried like five times now /D

Perfect, just bought from Nuuvem for the first time and it does indeed contain all the games (where is my GTA V??!! :p)

Cheers, I've removed the semblance of doubt from my post.

Either there's a hold on your card or it's just One of Those Things(tm). If the latter is the case then the issue will fix itself after about half an hour or so.

No hold on the card since I just bought the humble weekly without issues. Guess I'll wait half an hour :(

I don't think they understand how this thing works. I fail to see how this will work. You're basically paying $15 a month to stream your games to a tablet or something.

what?



I don't think any did.

You can stream CloudLift compatible games on any device that has the OnLive client (OnLive Gaming Console, OnLive Android client, OnLive PC client, and OnLive Mac client). This is more geared towards people who don't necessarily have a great PC.

yeah, why not just use In-home streaming?

If you don't have the hardware that can run said game then in-home streaming is not really an option.

I imagine that latency is going to be pretty rough for this. Is it worth it to stream Saints Row 4 @ 15 fps for $15 a month? I don't think so.

I get what their trying to do, but I think the emphasis is on trying
 
Anyone else getting this:

I've been getting it for the past hour or so.

Yes, have been getting nothing but that from the client for the last hour and a half. I have a solution though, use a browser. I got my transactions to go through just fine in firefox. On that note any way to cheat the region timed release thing. Having to wait two more days for south park is going to be killing me.

From my personal experience the latency seemed fine to me. You can check out me playing MK and Batman: Arkham Origins here (starting around 3 minute mark):

Bandicam records at 30FPS but the games actually ran consistently at 60FPS. It's also $14.99 for all games you sync and not $14.99 per game you sync. I'm sure once the supported list gets larger then the value will definitely grow.
