Konami would want to target 100% of potential customers instead of just those who played Ground Zeroes initially.

That would be the sensible thing to do, but lets not get carried away here, it's Konami after all. :p
But yes, I have no doubt that it will and always was going to be in Phantom Pain (ala Tanker Mission), but at some point some suit decided that what if we would release it as a separate thing, money money money.

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.
Interesting, I haven't got the Steam link reward yet though.

How does the playfire rewards work with games I've already finished like south park is there anyway to cash in?
No, they only cash in if you unlock them in the time period they show. Such a shame.
But this I also wanted to know, and that is pretty lame :(
Also means the QC reward I got is a mistake then.

Really glad Arkham Origins Blackgate is coming to Steam, now I own all the Arkham games on Steam!

Awesomely, it actually organised itself in chronological order, that's...amazing!
I'm now installing Arkham Origins though, and later on once I've finished that I'll start Blackgate up.
You don't actually :p
Missing the vanilla editions

Ace Combat's Steamworks patch just went live. Now to keep a close eye on Dark Souls.
I still can't buy it, FU Scamco :mad:

3DS game vs Vita game
Blackgate is on 3DS too.

I've been meaning to sell mine privately as I haven't touched the thing since the release of Gears 3. I should be able to get $200~$250 for the lot, which is oodles more than what EB would give me in store credit.

Thats true I suppose. I just saw that they had a offer on a few weeks ago that they gave 30% extra steam credit on any trade ins against it, so might wait for that to come up again.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
At least a different publisher has the game now. Hopefully they get the other games on Steam.

Viva has its fingers in Haunted's pie so I assume it'll follow suit, but as far as I can tell the same can't be said for Venetica, although there's the possibility that Viva snatched up publishing rights for the latter following DTP's demise as they were both developed by Deck13.

just played a bit of landmark

Guess I'll look through the OT and read some guides. Framerate is kind of weird, it's running at 30fps but afterburner is reporting 60.

edit: found out the problem, guess capping it at 60 with afterburner equals to 30 ingame for whatever reason, unlocking or capping it at 120fps fixed it >.>

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.
Putting the final touches on a version of Enhanced Steam that works with Firefox 28 and 29. The bug that caused it not to work in these versions has been fixed in version 30.

This will also be good for those paranoid folks who prefer not to enable "3rd party cookies" (since disabling them also disables DOM storage in Firefox).

I should have this ready to send to Mozilla later today, and hopefully they'll approve it quickly.

So this fanmade trailer for Ricochet 2: Electric Boogaloo is rather awesome.
In a world set in a dystopian-70's-disco environment where players are pitted against each other in a battle to death for others entertainment, you as a player must adapt, survive and most important - Aim.

Will you come out victorious?

You asked, and we listened. The sequel to the smash hit released in 2000 has finally arrived. Ricochet was received as a fan favorite and dubbed "Citizen Kane of Gaming" by various reviewers in the year where it spawned.

Pre-order today at your local retailer, or STEAM.
Happy April 1st!

This should be a real thing.

And finally, to end the dice rolls, a 24-sided dice! And each item in here is different, a few of them will be nice, a few of them will be not so nice. One of them is a joke, and the person who receives it should understand.

All of them below should be jumbled up. Not naming games here, but if you win the key it will say the games title before the code. Pick one, take your chances, not naming any of the games~

I'd buy Gray Matter, but I've learned my lesson now. I'll just wait for the inevitable bundle.

It's a harsh lesson to learn, but I'm sticking to this approach too. Too many indie games appear in a bundle 1-2 weeks after release to justify the initial purchase price imo. Grey Matter was in some kind of publishing limbo last I heard though so I bought it through gamersgate (still haven't played it, unsurprisingly).
Edit: reading back a few pages it seems someone else now has it (this is what I get for working rather than following the steam thread) so time to pester them via email.
