I will ask again, please excuse me if this annoy you, I won't do it again : can someone confirm to me that the "Indie Game the Movie" DLC is subtitled ?

According to the Store page it has captions available, so yes.

Free. Both the "Play" and "Install" buttons are present on the store page but the latter, which adds to your game count, may be a mistake so I'd act fast.

Acted fast, oh yeah!. Thanks for the heads up. I think all the fast acting crashed steam again?
 
Well, I hope we see a nice discount.



You're probably right, though. I wouldn't be surprised to see $40 for USF4. +1 game count, at least!

I don't think they did anything of the sort for SSF4AE, did they? That was just full retail and without SSF4 to upgrade from, there was no "upgrade" last time.

I seriously doubt you'll see anything other than "here's a new sub. if you want to play the new game, give us at least $40."

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.
Looks like it's free anyways.

The difference being that (most) free games on Steam are not permanently attached to your account, unless you purchase DLC for it.

EDIT: Beaten

And even then the games, while tethered to your library, don't add to your actual (i.e. profile) game count. The free licence option, which is generally reserved for free DLC, is the only way to add free content to your account in the proper sense.

So as we were snappy, do we get to keep the +1 even though they've since removed the option? I can't remember what my game count was before it.

Yeah, you're probably right. I fully expect to pay $40 for this game. :(


Free game and +1 count? Why not :D

I acted fast ^^

The option to tie the license to my account was still available. Yay

Yeah, it's in your account for good... unless the devs empty the sub, but there's neither sense nor a point in doing so.

I believe Capcom offered a small discount for owners of Steam's SF4 (like 10%). Then there was that pricing mistake during the first (or second?) summer sale that had it for 50-66% off. I was about to get the game for $20 prior to release.

Yup, the main store page indicates captions but not the DLC page. Not a huge deal anyways, the pack price is cheap. Just don't really want to discover once again that while I am fully able to write, I couldn't understand spoken English to save my life.

Nice, this is that Hero Quest/Quest for Glory (the Sierra one) fan game... Would be nice if Volvo allowed for more freeware games - with achievs/playtime counting.
Or even better yet - PWYW scheme, game is free, but if you want to support the devs/get a +1 to your score, you can buy it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is added one day. Maybe it'll be one of things that gets added as the release of Steam's API and self-publishing comes closer. It could easily be a theme of the summer sale.

This thread on the Steam forums seems to indicate there are no subs for DLC. As someone who knows sign language and has spent a little bit of time in a Deaf community, this annoys me as well.

Is Hacker Evolution any good? Thinking of checking it out via that Bundle Stars bundle.

I don't think so, personally, but setting aside that question entirely it's $2.99 for basically 10 versions of the same thing--I can guarantee you that the number you'll play will either be 0 or 1 so you're better off waiting for the next sale on the game (which happens pretty much weekly) and just getting one of them for $0.99 or less.

Hmm the Payday 2 DLC is also supposed to be on sale for the same amount as the base game.

edit: How is the online community for Payday 1? I'm assuming it's been abandoned except for the hardcore community since Payday 2 came out.

Even though the button changed the game still registers to your account. Just tested it on an alt account and it's there, and it still +1's your game count, basically everyone can still get a free +1.

Bioshock Infinite + Season Pass Bundle is currently worth $4.29 USD in the Brazilian Steam Story, not sure if it's a glitch or not.

Edit: Nevermind they fixed it.

I don't know but there are still a couple of keys available from a ModBot giveaway I did t'other day that you could try:

Might help you decide if you want to buy the bundle or not?

Thanks for the info. I think I'll pass this time, but I appreciate it.

Anyone know any Brazilians ;_; ?
Probably is since the season pass isn't even discounted. Anyone interested should try to grab it. :p
