I think you misunderstood/misstated something. You said that the key could only be activated outside of Russia. He was asking if this was really the case
Oh ok lol, ty for clarifying
Nah that didn't even acknowledge I had it installed hahaha. Going to shoot them an email and see what the score is but I don't have much hope for a reply.
Well look at it this way. You can add it to your collection now on Steam
Once activated you can uninstall the Tages driver and such from your PC though it still has a folder in Program Data with the activation key from their server and a copy or your serial. Venice uses SolidShield but doesn't have a revoke app like it normally does but is pretty much the same setup. As stated above I'll shoot their support guys an email see if I can get any clarification but doubt a human will ever read it.

listen to the mad man
Basically anything that was removed before the gift system got as robust as it is now essentially doesn't exist on the aftermarket, and if it did appear, the price would be astronomical because of the extreme scarcity. The Movies is probably the best example in terms of game quality and early removal putting together. There's a guy who's a big reseller (Sephiroth093) who has spammed the Steam forums of every removed game offering to buy any outstanding copies so he can resell, and he's had no luck with the game. I don't think there are any copies in existence.
Were I a Valve employee, I'd definitely try to generate stats on how many unredeemed after-market copies exist for various removed games.

The fact it pops back on steam is a good step
(especially since my copy also has tages)

ITT we've waited for a few years for the game to return to steam, so a true steamGAFfer can wait a few weeks/months more for a 75% off sale.
I've bought it as soon as I saw it back on the store

As you mentioned, redeemable copies of The Movies probably do not exist given how long ago it was delisted and how complicated it would be to have a spare copy lying around. Same goes for Wheelman. I was actually wondering which game has the highest value that is also actually in circulation, rare as it may be.
Ok I don't usually get super excited/invested in prerelease fluff but when I saw 'Fall 2014' I started frantically flicking through my diary to see when the winter equinox is. Soooo some time before 21st December in theory (though I swear the entertainment industry makes up their own definition of fall/autumn).

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.
That would certainly be interesting information to get your hands on. I'd probably do it when I get a job there, if I weren't busy playing The Movies
and Wheelman... and Top Gun

I'm playing The Bureau, should I always use the same agents for all missions and max them? Or I'd better rotate them?

My wired 360 controller's finally on its last legs, after nearly nine years of service (has it really been that long? goddamn). Got a faulty connection in the cable, and don't have the knowhow to fix it.
I don't want to have to buy another one when support for the Xbone controller might be around the corner. I have a few wireless controllers lying around, maybe I should try and find one of those wireless adapters for PC.

Definitely a self Christmas Present for me!
Also some trivia, it seems the guy who did the old man narrator voice in Civ 5 is now replaced with the woman in the trailer. The old man was William Morgan Sheppard, and he is everywhere! Just to name a few things he's been in - Star Trek (both TNG and New Film), Dr Who, Mad Men, Dexter, Afro Samurai, Transformers, The Prestige... and the list goes on

Wouldn't that be impossible as the info for every retail key must be in the registry?

They run pretty cheap but they are all Asian reproductions unless you buy second hand from ebay. But even then it's a bit of a pain to find the actual official dongle since MS doesn't sell them by themselves. If you go off the amazon reviews though you'll be fine.

I found the (apparently) official product on Amazon.co.uk, gonna get me one of those.

Rotate through till you find the two classes you find the most effective for your tacts and then just stick with them for the rest of the game.

Might be a different case in the UK then. Regardless you should be fine.
Thanks going to download it now.
Actually, it was me who convinced Ubi to patch the games. But I don't expect people to remember or care. The updated games showing up on the store again almost three years to the day after being pulled precisely because Ubi couldn't be bothered patching them is no divine coincidence, is my faint point.

Chirst I forgot that guy had been in so much. When it was announced that Leonard Nimoy wasn't going to be returning for narration duties in V I was a little bit disappointed but Sheppard does have a air of solemnity about him.

Yeah. The FTL DLC made it more addictive than it was before.
That is the video that got me started with the game. Keep in mind you don't have to watch the entire video, at one point he wraps up his explanation and just finished out the game.

np hope it helps
I thought so
. I have it bookmarked after seeing you mention it before. One of these days I will get back to Civ V and make good use of that video but I could really do with a break from being obsessed with a game for awhile after finishing my latest XCOM run :/.
Great game. I expected it to be much harder and even obtuse (reason why I kept postponing my playthrough), but I found The Swapper to be a relaxing experience and fairly easy overall. This is not meant to be a jab at the game or a brag post. On the contrary, all the puzzles were clever, with each try always putting me closer to the solution without making me feel like I was randomly throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. At no point I was truly stumped, which is a good thing because the less games that make me think "this is bullshit, I'll look at a guide" the better.
My only complaint is that it's garbage how after you beat it, "continue" takes you straight to the credits. I mean, what the hell? A few hours of my playtime came from a second run for
the secret log rooms
Leave it to Ubisoft to do such a piss poor job and leave in existing DRM.
Desura key that can be redeemed on steam. Have at it gentlemen!

Enjoy the game man
That's so weird. According to the Anno wikia site the extraneous DRM was patched out with 1.1 but it would seem that Ubi reintroduced the DRM to the Steam versions with the move to 1.3/2.1 (base game/expansion respectively).

Yep hopefully this can get me into CIV easier than the actual tutorial. Which oddly gave me more questions than answers.

I think I made a mistake, seeing 'Zamówienie anulowane' as order status. Maybe clicked a wrong button but I already entered my credit card details. What did you use for the PESEL field?

Did anyone actually install/run it to confirm its actually in?
This sounds like "annulled", as in cancelled.

It is pretty funny how the weekend and that announcement synced up.
Wouldn't be surprised if it really did help them a bit in sales.

Store down? I fucking hate steam at the moment, never seems to work when I want it to.

This is probably true -- I was just scanning the amazon page for mention of DRM and it didn't have any whatsoever, so I was trying to figure out if it activated anywhere.
Added you.
Nice giveaway.
Good luck on the accomplishments!
Just woke up and saw that I won kurahador's giveaway for Divinity Dragon Commander! I know what I'm doing with the rest of my weekend.
Good to see it went to a good home.
Ouch. Glad I only had a passing interest in the game to start with, mostly because of all of JaseC's talk about it in here.
All's well at my end.

Good lord that Witcher 3 thread is some embarrassing shit.
Are you from the UK?
I still seem to be getting store/community outages every few hours with that dreaded Error 118, yet no-one here seems to be mentioning it much anymore which leads me to think it's just the UK servers that are still borked.
