I guess this is what we need, but I expect that I won't hear from Humble for months that way.

Unless you obsessively check bug forums for every game before a purchase or just straight up don't buy games, I can confidently say you've bought a game buggier than Prison Architect.

But you bought that game.

And you won't buy Prison Architect, regardless of your interest in it, solely because they were upfront with you about where they are in development, and you've some how misconstrued that as a negative.

Whatever, man. I'm done. I don't want to spark this debate. You don't have to respect my position and desire to vote with my wallet. Just don't attack me for it.

Oh, so now there are risks and assumptions of risk. Now both parties are grown adults consenting to alpha. Yet somehow my dismissal of buying alpha games is me being a pedant. OK. Reactions to buying a game sold as "final" and a game sold as "alpha" will be different. And rightfully so. The fact that you're telling me "alpha" doesn't matter is a joke.
Click to expand...

There are risks with buying anything with incomplete knowledge. Alpha or not, there's no guarantee you'll get something you'll like, besides trying it yourself beforehand. With an early access, at least, you get an arguably better pre-purchase description of what is in the game, and not marketing copy.

And yes, if you're uniformly dismissing early access, I think you're being a pedant. But you're, ofcourse, free to do so, so don't mind me.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I dunno guys, I really think we should stop trying to force him to vote with his wallet.

I mean, fuck, here I am outside his home with a sack of oranges ready to smash his hand against a keyboard until he clicks buy.

I mean damn, we really are the worst.

Going to buy Escape the Museum for 47 cents in steam credit and pay the last two cents with paypal. #anarchy #takingthesystemdownfromtheinside



Actually they just re-fixed it for 45% off.

Totally not worth it now.

Edit: 15% off.
Click to expand...

And somehow I ended up paying 4.24$ for it. Steam ripped me off.

Can I return it from my inventory?

listen to the mad man
Trying to download BioShock Infinite, got to 25.1 gigs, now the download is switching aggressively between Starting and Downloading. Network is still registering activity, but the portion of the file that's downloaded does not appear to be going up and the time remaining is going up and down like a yoyo. Ugh.

Edit: Switched servers and restarted Steam, everything working fine now and getting a faster DL speed.

Organization is key to finding games to play, so organize instead.
Click to expand...

Yes, i think its time, i reached 423 games and i have only 2 categories, the finished ones and the mac versions!

KenOD said:
Do both. Play a game, think about what type of game it is, have fun. Then when you are done playing a game put it into a category.

That way would take forever to organize! xD

Should i play videogames or organize my steam library in categories?
Click to expand...

The only reason I don't organise my steam library into categories is because I have this nagging belief that the moment I finish spending a bunch of time doing it, they'll probably announce a whole new client or categories system, so I just keep pushing it a side :p

The issue here is not really your decision to not support early access games. That is completely fine. Whats not fine, however, is your costant vitriol, the demonization of EA games like they are the worst thing to ever happen, and the rather condescending way you reply to anyone that is fine with and supports EA games. Its also rather funny asking people to not attack you because of your position, yet thats whatyou already done countless times.

Oh. Those Escape the Museum things are published by Scammery First. That explains.

I thought it was kind of odd to go from issue 1>20 but what do I know.

Would have made more sense to go 1>2 or something. At least that way if you kept reading and liked it i'd be more interest in reading the rest. I personally wouldn't read 1 and then jump to 20 and i'm assuming most people are the same way

but then again i've never read the comics(not a big comics guy to begin with) so

As stated earlier, 20 is the most recent one and the start of a new major story arc.
Gotta hook as many people as possible, both new fans and old ones, increasing chances of selling 2-19 for 15$ each while the popularity boost from the TV series lasts.

Didn't know that. I'm kind of shocked that they're $15 a pop too but hey if there's a market for it and people buy it then more power to them I guess.

y'all should be ashamed
Stumpokapow said:
Almost certainly not getting a Steam release, chubigans has explained before that the game's source is damaged in a way that he can't update it with the features he'd like to put into a Steam release and he had intended to remove it from Greenlight as a result.
Click to expand...

That is sadly true. Still I have a computer in storage that might have some of the original components of the source code but even if I do have that, going back and changing things will require lots of beta testing, and right now I'm already deep into my next game. I'll have a bigger update later this week/next week on the greenlight page.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the votes and support!
