Yes, I have used SAM on some achievements in the past, like some buggy Walking Dead achievements.
But should I seriously be stoned for what I did in the past? I did not exactly have a time machine to see that the Playfire Rewards were developed.

It's funny that a lot of first world countries have transfer caps, but not third world countries.

I recently replaced my 360 controller with the Wii U Pro. It goes without saying that the dpad is far, far better than the 360, and has eliminated a lot of frustration for me in Spelunky specifically.
Because the Mayflash adapter preserves button labeling rather than layout, some games I found awkward to control in XInput mode. In those cases, I switch to DirectInput and use x360ce for games that don't support DirectInput controllers.

The new AMD Never Settle bundles with Murdered Soul Suspect look nice. Hopefully someone sells those on the cheap just like last time...............

You should stop using SAM from now on then.
They be third world countries then.

You're saying you've NEVER done it since the Playfire system started?
I will still use SAM to idle for cards. But nothing else.
I don't even know when the Playfire system started. It was actually 1-2 week ago I started reading comments where suers were talking about it. I started trying to use it 2 days ago.
I set my Steam account to public like days ago. So I could not use it before that anyway.
Just to clarify a couple of things here:
1) The trick only works with the games that use CEG/"Steam DRM", and
2) Running the game through Steam directly will override the value in the text file, so the game must be launched externally
No dude, that was his friend he asked that for.

Good lord y'all
It's quite cheap now as it is. GetGames have it around £19 so I'd expect getting a bundle code you might get an even better price. Really haven't seen anything of this though so can't even judge from the flimsy premise banded about for the last year. Might be another Sqeunix -75% off in 4-5 months purchase for me.
Your post clearly said you used SAM to unlock achievements in games you played that you didn't 100% normally, not that you used it to unlock bugged achievements occasionally.
No, you shouldn't be stoned for it but if you are going to constantly post in this thread bragging about how much you earn you should expect to be called out on it I think.

NA is a part of third world confirmed.
I only ever encountered a game crashing from menu bug a couple of times. Otherwise I was lucky from that perspective. The game itself had a lot of irritants though.

fantomena did you or did you not ruin the Renegade Ops friends leaderboard by having fake scores for every mission.
Nice, a Banner Saga/DYAD bundle is in as well.
I did.

The part that I find kind of funny is all the bragging. I mean, if someone has aspirations to become more than just an amateur game blogger, and do it professionally for a real publication/website, I would kind of hope they have more integrity than to be bragging about getting free stuff or making money off of said free stuff.
Not that game journalism is terribly high on the integrity scale to begin with, but anyways.
I know. At least Im saying it with no damage control. I like to tell the truth, even if Im on the Internet.
SteamDB just received a small UI update: DevComp and releasestateoverride subs are now marked as such ("Developer" and "Release state override" respectively). For example:
Edit: There's a "Billing Type" column now, too.
And in other news, owners of Scourge: Outbreak now also own The Scourge Project (the game's predecessor, which was yanked from sale voluntarily last April). Restart Steam if it's not showing up in your library.

Why would I want to play a inferior version though?
Then again Dusk Golem said that version was even worse that it was hilarious.
So, to recap
1. you fake scores to rank 1st in games
2. you cheat the achievements system in SAM for rewards in Playfire
3. you beg for keys to "review" on a blog no one can read
Yep, quite classy man :/
I had similar thoughts about the Pro controller and for the most part it's close.. the trouble is being Nintendo the button layout is different and messes with your head making it difficult to switch for some people.
TRANSLATION:
Instead of Xbox's XY/AB, the WiiPro is YX/BA.. not to mention the thumbstick is positioned differently.
I almost never use it for these reasons and regret getting it to be honest.
I use the 360 controller for PC platforming for what it's worth.

It was like a 1.25 during the GMG sale wasn't it? Regardless it has hit 2.50 so often it's bound to go on sale again before the game comes out.
Fixed.
Eh? You said you put your steam profile on private because you were scared Playfire was going to ban you for using SAM...
Well, for those who already owned Outbreak it's essentially a free game, so there's no obligation to actually play it.
$19.99
Will wait for 75% off
Awesome. Will ask for review code.
Just kidding, already bought the main game and everything
i think it was $2.50 yesterday on GMG.

I feel like i'm missing something with Assassin's Creed 2's story. I've heard good things about it, but it's so incredibly uninteresting.
Ezio's dad get's killed, he becomes an assassin without really knowing what it is and whenever someone say's "that's a templar" he goes stabby-stabby. A bit dry, but a good enough videogame plot. However, the characters are so lifeless and the script so dry (and stupid, especially DaVinci's lines. "Ah yes, the this with the that. Brillianto!") , it's becoming challenging to sit through.
Just completed sequence 9. Area's are pretty repetetive as well.
Don't get me wrong though, i've had a jolly good time. Especially with the side-content. I'm a sucker for collect-a-thoning.

No. I have been having my Steam account on private for over 3 years because I had the stupid feeling that the other account I had got hacked because I had it on public.

I checked GMG and isthereanydeal yesterday and didn't see anything.
lol
Yeah the ABXY thing is a concern as well. And I'm really curious if the buttons can be rearranged on the Wii Classic.
I've taken a 360 controller apart for modding, for example, and each ABXY button has a notch cut into it, in a different place, so that you can't merely rearrange the order any way you please (the button labels would end up rotated improperly).

I was literally about to ask where my copy was and it just poofed into existence.

It's not bad, don't remove ever playing it from the table. I mean the 2D portraits might lack the je ne sais quoi of what you'll find at Comiket but it's a solid dual stick shooter that doesn't overstay its welcome. Lots of explosions, and cheesy G.I. Joe comic presentation and plot.
Freedom = $1.05

It's an ok single player game but a great coop game. Played through almost all of it with my brother and had a decent time of it.
Also, I really wish that they would bring back Wolfenstein 2009 with the new one coming out. That game was severly underrated. It had a great hub world/open world system and played pretty well, too. I finished it on the PS3 and was looking to add it to my steam library only to find out that it got pulled not too long ago : /
Who knows? Maybe, maybe not. I don't have the answer.

It seems Valve made a new billing type for subs that publishers intend to use for both the store and retail keys:
This should clear up some confusion/uncertainty going forward, unless it's the new default.
Edit: Actually, it's not new; rather, SteamDB is only now privy to its existence.
Dark Souls 2 uses that new system (I think), my GMG key activated the store sub.
