The whole $60 for TLoU PS4 port got me thinking.
Do Steam users buy games and ports day 1?
I know several enthusiasts who do, but when a game shows up on Steam I celebrate not for the game being available, but because sooner or later it will be on sale.
Many many games I've gotten, have fallen under the idea of "if it were not for the price, I would have never even considered buying it", and that includes "big releases" such as Skyrim or Bioshock.
Are we becoming "cheap"? or simply do the games are overcharging for what we consider a fair price?

If the top sellers on the Steam store frontpage are anything to go by, then Yes.
Also speaking of PSN, Sonic Unleashed is now on PSN, wonder if it'd get released on Steam too...

Getting for ~$12. An incentive to play the backlog was a genius idea from playfire. Insanity for having Goat Simulator pay you to play it.It might be a bit cheaper on Nuuvem, but if you have some Playfire bucks you can make the gmg deal real sweet.

*high five*
There's never been a Spring Sale; even last year's Indie Sale was a once-off. I do expect Valve to stop ignoring Spring at some point, though.

I've bought my fair share of games day 1, they just have to look really cool, that even includes ports(pre-ordered Deus Ex The Fall and Resident Evil 4 UHD Edition)
I probably pre-order more games now than when I did when I was on console(although that may be because I have more spending money now than I did when I played on console)
I periodically buy major games at full price, usually pre-order. Often with GMG though you don't even pay full price after all I guess. Games I've pre-ordered off the top of my head:
Dishonored, Borderland 2, Diablo 3 + RoS (not steam obviously), Bioshock Infinite, Arkham City.
Major games I'm likely to pre-order in the future off the top of my head:
Arkham Knight, maaaaaayyyyyybbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Watch_Dogs if there's enough positive press about the PC version ahead of time, maybe.
Way more indieish games I pay full price for though. I'll pick up Starbound at some point, I've got a couple games on kickstarter backed, I'll throw money at Transistor as soon as they let me, etc.

still waiting for them to fix my account and it has been 8 days since i submitted a support request. Anyone who used playfire support knows the usual time it takes to get a response?
I pre-order often; I'm a sucker for pre-order incentives. I don't pay full price, though... I think the last time I did was when I pre-purchased Kingdoms of Amalur in early 2012.
No worries.
Thx JaseC
No worries.
What's stopping you from attaching your PC to the TV?
Since it's been brought up, I've taken a glance at my Playfire profile and it does indeed seem to lack quite a lot of games on every service (I linked my XBL and PSN accounts too.)
I tried downloading the Vulcan client, but it turns out it's just a frame with the Playfire website inside it, so I wonder why it needs to install anything? Does it collect any sort of data?
I'm asking here because I think I saw someone post here who was part of the Playfire team... clarifications would be appreciated. Just how does the service work, wrt detecting new games and keeping up with user activity, and what purpose does the client serve? It's no wonder the rewards are buggy if the base game detection system doesn't work properly...

How exactly is this playfire achievement unlocking working?
I just registered and I got 3 Sleeping Dogs Achievements rewards. I did them about a year ago but I guess since the game is an active game right now it detects I have them and registers. Then I don't understand why it doesn't detect my Batman Arkham City achievements though. This game is also a reward game at the moment and I do have the steam achievements for it.
Also, the "Play for the first time" reward really means I must not have played the game prior to the reward program, right?

The guy who posts here is radMonkey. I think he said XBL and PSN game tracking is bugged at the moment because they're changing to a new system and picked Steam first due to GMG.
All I know is the client used to update your Steam achievements etc quicker than waiting for the website to do it.
not a fan of how pc games scale up the ui and my ds4 isn't working with my computer 100% wirelessly for some reason
Ah, alright, cheers (sorry radMonkey for forgetting your name!)
edit: the client comes with 6 processes, all called 'Awesomium Process', taking a total of 73MB of memory; + ~82MB for the client itself...

Just read though the thread's reactions to HuniePop. So good.
Thanks for the heads up. Might buy it.

I get that, the point is that the achievements can be hacked, so it's free money, that's my point.

Uhhhhhh.... wut.
Playfire can do that? Because Valve can't AFAIK.

Usually takes me 4-7 days but in the last day or so I've been getting more frequent responses from multiple people.
I'd be interested in that, but only if there's a way to remove the Warehog sections.
been a while since i played a pc game on a tv, but i do remember issued with my huds
could be wrong, though

PCs treat your TV like another monitor. Games look the same as they would anywhere else. Big Picture mode makes Steam even have a friendly (better) console-like interface than either of the new consoles.
You should give it a try. If you have a decent rig you can get PC quality visuals on your big screen. Makes both consoles look bad.
I think he's talking about the UI scaling with different resolutions, for example some older console ports where the UIs were usually made for 720p displays, so if you go higher than that, the UIs are usually "smaller" in comparison, it's probably not a problem with games for ps4/one though since they're 1080p too.
Valve doesn't really have much of a reason to care.
If Playfire sees you have 20 minutes played and unlocked all of the rewards achievements which span the game, or if you're a numbskull and unlock the beat the game achievement but none of the story achievements, they know you're not playing legitimately and will ban you.
