Being April Fools day and not wanting to give away Bad Rats. I thought I would just mess around with the names of the games. There's hint enough there. If you already have the game just pass it on here in the Steam Thread.

Just started trying it yesterday and I am satisfied so far. Although it missed some stuff I did it registered some stuff retroactively so I won't complain.

I only got ONE thing retroactively :(
And it was worth $0.10 ;_;

Oh fuckin' hell. The only console exclusive game I want on PC.

We're still waiting for GTA V.
Click to expand...

With Konami's recent track record, we can pretty much guarantee its release at this point.

I love Metal Gear's gameplay and inherent 'wackiness' too, I would buy the Legacy Collection, Ground Zeroes, and Phantom Pain on Steam.

Thanks for the game but I was planning to get the bundle anyway! Passing my key on, with a couple other spares, to you strange Internet people.

True but I doubt a simultaneous release with consoles.

Probably 6+ months after consoles :\

Much like Lords of Shadow 2, I'm thinking it will have a simultaneous release. The 2015 release date gives them time to get that going, unlike Ground Zeroes where Konami's push for PC came too late in development.

What is Spartan Assault anyway? iOS port?
Click to expand...

It has been on the Windows 8 App store, meaning Windows Phone and Windows 8.

Looks like a top down action game with an emphasis on strategy, but I have not looked into it at all.

Halo: Spartan Assault brings the excitement of Halo combat to Steam for the very first time. Battle your way through 30 action-packed missions against the Covenant as you explore the origin of the Spartan Ops program featured in Halo 4. *DirectX feature level 10 required.

Bring us more Halo combat!

Fingers crossed you're right.

Wonder if Dark Souls II will be any benchmark for Japanese publishers to release games on Steam.

I just realised that there's a new Humble Bundle today, perfect opportunity for them to get in on the April Fools Day hijinks.

Humble Wheelman Bundle.

Edit: I bought (well, am waiting on) Batman: Arkham Prison Deluxe Edition. Even though I'm yet to play Origins I think I'll start it tomorrow anyway.

Just got The Typing of the Dead: Overkill – Thou Filthy Love Collection on GMG with the money I earned from Playfire.



This will ofcourse backfire when the weekly bundle is releaved as the Typing of the Dead Bundle.

How does that PlayFire rewards thing even work?
I logged in with my GMG account and linked PF with Steam since it started, but it doesn't do anything at all.
Is it region restricted?
Click to expand...

It will display the rewards in GBP (£) but it will be exchanged to your currency on a daily rate. No restrictions are currently in place.

dirtywhirlwind said:
Oh, I have like £9, which of none have been transferred to my GMG account.

How do you actually access this reward site if you don't know the specific address? I can't find any link on Playfire pointing to this reward summary.
Click to expand...

We're building a new page that will be in the top nav. Otherwise when you log in just click on your current balance to be taken to the rewards page. It's not too obvious, sorry bout that.

X05 said:
So, how does Playfire really work?
I registered yesterday, linked to Steam, and I only got one reward from all the ones that should have (a Quantum Conundrum achievement based one, not even the first boot one). What gives?
Click to expand...

When you link a Steam account for the first time we can't actually tell from the API when you got achievements, so we use the date we tracked it. Because of this you could potentially get rewards you're not meant to because we've got a reward for say Quantum Conundrum, but you got the achievement ages ago, it's just way only just tracked it. So, what we do, is we have a switch to say whether to include the 'first scrape'. At the moment it's always on, we'd rather give new Playfire users the benefit of the doubt. Worse case scenario is you get credit you shouldn't have.

Lain said:
I just noticed that it's since the 27th of February that Playfire hasn't credited me any credit from the play game x for the first time and unlock achievement x. It hasn't even tracked some achievements I unlocked for games while the timer was going, like Technical Pacifist for Ittle Dew. Unlocked it at 4.44pm of March 26, timer ended at 23.59 of March 26, but not on the balance list for me.
The balance list even has a couple of play game x for the first time repeated for March, though since no credit has been given out, they have time to fix that one still.
Click to expand...

We track your Steam activity roughly every 1-3 hours (it's quite server intensive). So there is a possibility that you get an achievement close to its end date, but don't get the reward. If this happens, let CS know and they should be able to credit you manually.

How much time does Playfire take to scan your Steam account? In my Playfire page it shows that I own 0 games.

There was a bug on your account. I've fixed it. You should be fine going forward.
