I hope they'll do a Free Weekend for Killing Floor 2 at some point, I wasn't able to try the beta and I'd like to know if the game runs well on my config even if I met the "reccomended" requirements

Speaking of Falcom, I've just fondled a 4 years old boy in Ys II. :\
Should I expect a visit from crowdfunded Chris Hansen soon?

Do you also hate tower defense? Then no. I only played 30 minutes so far and I'm not yet 100% sure but it's a unique mix I haven't seen before.

unique mix you say... that was a wrong thing to point out!

Jedi Outcast is awesome. I haven't played it in forever. The lightsaber is really fun to use.

It's well known scientific fact, that the lightsaber makes any game more fun, even Phantasy Star used to resort to adding those for this reason.

rpg + tower defense + rogue-like + round based mixed with real time + pixellook + great soundtrack

But make sure to read all the tutorial windows or you may end up confused. And I get the feeling it will become very hard fast.

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.
So thanks to galyonkin who got an API set up for Enhanced Steam, this will be available in the next release:

You'll be able to disable it in the options page if you'd prefer not to see it, but I think it will provide a bit more insight than what is currently available and should help people make more informed purchasing decisions.

They're quite good, but it feels weird recommending hidden-object games to people who've never played them. Still, with so many Steamgaffers buying bundles, it's a bit easier to say "You've bought it, just play it already!"
Click to expand...

I thought it's weird too, but trust me, it's not weird, I tried to play like 5 or 6 hidden object games from different developers after warming up to Artifex Mundi games and I hated them all. I still hate all hidden object games aside Artifex Mundi ones, they definitely have their magic, shanghai varied puzzles is part of that magic.

Damn. I think I'm going to have to get Witcher 3 on Steam. I was going to use my GCU discount at Best Buy to bring it to $48 then get the bonus $10 on top of that but since it's DRM free, there isn't a key code in sight. It would literally be a PC game on DVD. Ugh. Who wants physical media???

This is GTA V all over again. I'm going to pay a premium just to have it on steam. Or in this case, a digital copy.

I just wanted to clarify before I buy Humble Origin Bundle 2...

If I buy the 2nd tier right away, will all nine games be under one Origin key? And for the Origin games with a Steam key also included, they are separate right? They can both be redeemed?

One key for all the Origin games, separate keys for Steam.

Humble sale is OK. Eador should be avoided - it's fundamentally flawed in the worst way possible... it's repetitive, slow, and monotonous.

Instead of Eador, get Age of Wonders 3 instead; the base game and DLC are all completely worth it.

Really? All? I liked the Big Fish ones - Mystery Case Files - back in the day. Well, they lost their way later on, preferring to rely on FMV, but some of the earlier ones had good production quality.

Limited User Accounts
Note:

CD Keys, retail purchases, and gifts do not remove limited user restrictions. See How do I gain access to these features? below for more information.

Steam Support cannot remove this limited user status from your account.

Why can't I access certain Steam features?

We've chosen to limit access to these features as a means of protecting our customers from those who abuse Steam for purposes such as spamming and phishing. Read more...
How do I gain access to these features?

You will need to spend at least $5.00 USD within the Steam store.

Some examples of purchases that grant access to these features are:

  • Adding the equivalent of $5 USD or more to your Steam Wallet
  • Purchasing game(s) that are equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
  • Adding a Steam Wallet card to your Steam account
  • Purchasing a Steam gift from the Steam store (Receiving a Steam gift from a friend doesn't count)

Each Steam purchase total will be tracked in USD. If your Steam store's currency isn't in USD, it will be tracked and converted to USD automatically using daily exchange rates.

What features are unavailable to me?

Limited users are prevented from accessing several features on Steam, including but not limited to:

  • Sending friend invites
  • Opening group chat
  • Voting on Greenlight, Steam Reviews and Workshop items
  • Participating in the Steam Market
  • Posting frequently in the Steam Discussions
  • Gaining Steam Profile Levels and Trading Cards
  • Submitting content on the Steam Workshop
  • Posting in an item's Steam Workshop Discussions
  • Accessing the Steam Web API
  • Using browser and mobile chat

What will not grant me access to the above features?

The below actions will not remove limited user restrictions:

  • Activating a retail game on Steam
  • Playing free demos
  • Adding a non-Steam game as a shortcut
  • Adding/playing promotional trials like Free Weekends
  • Free to Play games (Examples: Alien Swarm, free versions of Portal and Team Fortress 2)
  • Activating promotional CD Keys from hardware or graphic card manufacturers

I received my game(s) as a gift, will I gain access to all features?

No, games that have been received as a gift or via Steam Trading are not eligible.

What if a purchase is refunded to my bank or my purchase is disputed/chargeback?

If a purchase amount is returned to your bank, the amount will be subtracted from your account's total purchase value. If the refund or dispute amount brings your account's total purchase value below $5 USD, then your account will lose access to these features.

For example, if you purchase a game for $5 USD, your account will gain access to these Community features. If you open a dispute with your bank, these funds will be returned to the bank and you will lose access to these features because Steam never received the funds.

What if a purchase is refunded to my Steam Wallet?

Refunds credited to your Steam Wallet, such as pre-order refunds, do not modify access to these Steam Community features.

What if my Steam store currency isn't in USD?

If the Steam store isn't in USD, we will track the purchase amount in USD by converting each purchase total made on Steam using daily exchange rates. Once you have made the equivalent of $5.00 USD or more in total Steam purchases, you will gain access to the restricted Steam features.

It's retroactive too. I'm glad I didn't have tons of shits on my 'card' alt.

Edit: scammers can still use stolen cards to buy gifts and sell gifts + spam until revoked = double profit. :/
