Why wouldn't a game called something like Tormentum Dark Sorrow end with metal? It's probably the the genre I'd expect the most. Besides maybe some overwrought orchestra.

Why the hell does this game

End with a metal song for the credits?
...and how the fuck was I judged 'evil' and my sins being greater when the game itself told me I did more good choices than bad?

Search your heart, you know the reason.
I played strict good and strict evil to make sure I got the specific endings. Those rats though, man...

That will definitely be interesting to see over time. The thing is, the bot accounts can still log in and appear online, they'll just be prevented from sending invites out. It'll probably take a couple of weeks for the bot operators to realize that those bots aren't doing anything and eventually shut them down. Of course if the bots themselves are being run through malware or something along those lines, those accounts may just continue logging in all the same.

The really interesting number in this equation, not that Valve would ever share it, is the number of those 125m "active" users that had spent less than $5 and are thus now restricted. If I had to guess I'd say it was probably between 15-20 million.

Considering Valve keep their cards or more over their sales, users and other such numbers to their chest it's quite handy that they do allow a lot of other such data in the wild. Plus when you take into account analytical tools like what Ars did and now with SteamSpy it's getting closer to having a look at trends and how things have performed over a specific period and over time in total. Sure it's not the complete picture and missing quite a few other data sources like price upon purchase but it's more insight than anytime ever in this industry.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to learn that in 8-12 months Steam had once again reached 125m active users, not that they would report that number. If they continue to post articles at regular intervals about their numbers increasing, I'd say something very fishy is going on.

Valve usually reports numbers twice a year, right? And during special occasions. Though given they're launching multiple HW projects this year they might want to blow their horns more. We'll see.

Valve reports numbers when it feels as though there's a number to report. Remember when it used to announce overall sales revenue after Summer/Winter Sales? ;)

You can change your store region from the account history page if you have a history of cross-region purchasing, just FYI.

Man, Jet Set Radio gets really good after the first couple of hours.

I'm pretty surprised with the game. I tried Crazy Taxi, Sega fishing, and Space channel before and I think all have aged quite bad in terms of look and gameplay.

JSR in contrary is still quite fun, looks good, and reminds me much to GTA3.

If multiverse is real, somewhere someone is currently praising JSR:V for Dreamcast Four.

It may depend on just how "recent" your last cross-region purchase was.

Let me be clear that the fact Valve allows the option should not be considered tacit approval. Play with fire if you so desire, but don't push people in that direction just because you've had "success".

In the first couple hours I was thinking the game was kinda meh, but then after a couple chapters the game cranks up everything to 11 and becomes such a pleasant experience. Some of the characters are also much more fun to play than the initial ones (Cube is fucking awesome)

Random accounting question:

On the income statement, a gain on sale of assets counts as Other Revenues and Gains, and wouldn't be part of the income from operations total, correct?

Oh, definitely. Valve can change your "home" region wholesale and (reportedly) will remove otherwise-applicable runtime restrictions if you can prove you moved.

Yeah it's crazy, It's either Kojima is really a master troll with a lot of data, or it's all HEAVEN'S will.

My first purchase on Steam was the Left4Dead bundle at £9 which I thought was a good deal but a week later I got World of Goo and The Orange Box for exactly £6. All that gaming goodness right there and I didn't know I was being extorted
and you know I get to keep them without paying up year on year because I own them not rent them
