Gamefly did this to me a few times on some orders.
I played hundreds of hours of the original, for some reason it took me this long to grab Rebirth cause I wasnt around when it came out and decided to wait for a sale to $7.5 or $5 since I missed the zeitgeist but fuck it

Paid Mods, eh? Will modders who offer their stuff outside of Steam go Steam-exclusive since it's the place to sell?
I understand people pouring loads of hours into Mods. There are many who rival retail games in quality and quantity! Getting money for those is definitely not undeserved.
But on the other hand, Mods, fan-patches and similar which was almost always free, was one of the biggest factors why I like PC gaming so much. Sure, many Mods will stay free but the beginning will be a bit troubled I think. Like unfinished Mods, color-changes, lazy reskins.. everyone will want to get a piece of the pie.
Things will level out in time though. A very small selection of real quality products will constantly stay on top while +90% will not get good sales.
For me as a gamer this is not good though. Free mods were there for decades. Most did it for free. Most did spare the same time and effort like modders do today. And they still continued to mod.
This will likely lead to scam-y paid mods ala scam-y early-access stuff.
I am not glad but I will survive.
Especially on the sides. I like mine.
I don't even like 99% of the games he's playing, haha.

Oh, I didn't know that. Huh. Hm. Heh. Have the base game thanks to a greatly hatted buddy. But damn, Dragonborn & Dawnguard are about 15! The Legendary Edition 10. What a weird situation. What a shame.
Totally agree. DLC price is absurd. 15 bucks for DLC? That's several new games for God's sake!
... time to put my broadband under a stress test it seems.
Wow. End of an era. Bought many cheap mice and keyboards over the years. Cheap but good quality.
Seems you are not an expert at checking the whole story before posting >_>
Finally! Been thinking about the trailer for years it feels. Pretty cool visuals and idea. Hope it won't end up being to "simple".
Remember Riot? Visually it's quite striking.
Whaaa? Grey hair makes men look awesome.

Happy birthday young one!Im 20 years old today.
Survived so far. *self high-five*
The show is so underrated. So much entertainment value.

Congrats on the English!

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.
You guys should totally post screenshots of your custom profile themes with Enhanced Steam now (because I could really use the feedback).
Also I created a dedicated thread for that in the official group, if you're so inclined.

I'm guessing that was Steam's plan all along, especially because they're taking 75% of the proceeds.

Straight from the left field. From the past media I was underwhelmed.
But this looks actually pretty awesome!
Here some really cool parts.
It's gif and 65MB. We live in 2015. If you have bandwidth problems, you have images disables already
Yeah the soundtrack was really a downgrade. I even muted it after some time.

Ahhh. I'm still on Canary and ES is 7.4 still. Guess it just doesn't feel like updating it.
Sale is always coming
Times change with the seasons. Many dips are there, and many drops.
Valve isn't take 75%. The 75% is divided between Valve and the Publisher.

So I started The Witcher 2 and holy fuck is the tutorial terrible. Throws shit in your face way too fast and expects you to grok it after looking at one screen's worth of information, sometimes presenting multiple screens back to back. Maybe it would be slightly better with a controller, IDK.
Does the main game itself introduce things any slower? Cause damn. Probably gonna watch a bit of a let's play now to see if that helps me understand any better. Read the manual too.

Yes, I imagine that's the case. But...that's still a huge chunk of the pie. Giving the modder 25%...I've heard of pimps who were more generous.

You pretty much stay kind of loss until you decide to just mess about or look things up.
I wasn't a fan of how it introduced things either. One of the reasons i'm a bit worried about W3 for the new fans on consoles.
Whew let off or on ignore
And it's never on sale either
Cheers 4 that tho!!i mean, to be honest, yeah
it has a few great moments which i wouldn't downplay because they're really nice conclusions to plot threads that started in me1 but it also shits on so many things and then puts that mindbogglingly stupid ending on top that's hard to forgive it for it
and like they really fucked up the amount of choices you get in conversation, you constantly get the feeling that some of the things shepard says automatically in me3 would've been dialogue options in me2 and 1, and then they really really fucked up side quests by making them that weird ass thing of shepard overhearing people in the street saying something like "oh boy i sure wish someone killed the pirates in potato planet!" and you go and do it and then just stand close to the person that said that and you get rewarded. no cutscene or dialogue or anything, and most of those quests are just walk and shoot something with not much lore or exposition or moral choices or anything
i hear the dlc for me3 is pretty good and i kinda want to try it out because after three games i'm kind of in love with my shep but at the same time it's kind of heartbreaking what a shitty conclusion my shepard got after all the things we've gone through
so yeah, they really fucked it up in 3 and it's specially egregious cos you get invested in these characters after being with them for so many years and after making them your own by making your own choices, which makes it even worse when they automatically make decisions that your own shepard wouldn't ever take (specially bad in me2 arrival dlc)
yeah, specially resonance of fateWell I just got home from the store!
Capcom, Sega both of these should be on Steam.
i so wanna play that thing
gross

Wow, looks like Steam is issuing 1 week community bans now for people making comments about how user-created mods shouldn't be something they charge for.

So only Chariot and Phawx have the TyranoBuilder. Exactly why have I not seen a game from either of them yet?
When you put it all down - hell yeah thats utter crap!!!
Sounds like they had an endgame and they just crapped out even trying to make it look like you had a choice.

Well they aren't going to change it so I guess they're trying to squash that kind talk out early.

The whole situation is a debacle.
Yeah, it should be bigger, but it's a tricky situation, especially with 3 different parts on the deal. Personally I think it should be : 40%creator,40%publisher, 20% Valve.
The introduction is notoriously bad but things will get much better after that.

Saw that yet another old Final Fantasy is coming to PC. Cool.
With SE putting so many of their older titles on PC lately, I think it is only a matter of time until FFXV Demo will come.
They might have taken a bigger workload than planned on them though. So many older games were ported and then there's the new FFs they been working on.
But their new stance towards PC fills me with confidence that FFXV will soon come.

IT BEGINS
did you play that other tutorial adventure? i forget how it's called but should be available from the main menu
it's very short but it's a more relaxed way to get into the game's mechanics
try that
i think they didn't budget well enough to compensate for whatever multiplayer costed and i think the game's quality payed dearly for it
i heard the ending got rewritten a bunch of times in less than ideal situations, but even if the ending was better the whole game is a mess, save for a few sections that are honestly pretty great

Finish the game and outsource to QLOC to bring to PC. A phenomenal late port is better than no port.

Personally, I'm reserving my judgement until the system is completely fleshed out. If the ecosystem that Valve has created for mods ends up being curated (either by Valve themselves or by the paying customers) then I think it's a good move. The mods that are worthy of purchase and offer a good value will be the ones with the highest ratings and it will encourage modders to create wonderful new things and will also encourage developers and publishers to be more forward-thinking in regards to modding support in future games. Free mods will (presumably) still be available, and in that scenario it really doesn't feel like this is a bad move.
The key is whether or not Valve puts in the effort to foster this new paid-mod ecosystem, or if it gets abandoned and ignored quickly like most of their other features. Are they going to actively pursue copyright claims? Probably, given their liability. Are they going to make sure that the mod you're paying for actually works? Probably not. Will they be checking the compatibility of different mods you've purchased, and warn you of any compatibility issues? Almost certainly not.
Either way, as someone with an (admittedly small) amount of experience in dealing with this sort of controversy and unpopular announcements, I'm not sure if Valve is handling the outcry in the correct way.

$60 for base game
$20 for DLC
$30 for mod packs.
PC gaming just got super fun!
Seriously though, I just saw a mod pack for Skyrim for $30!!!! Good grief, it's only been live for a few hours and already this is out of control.

Should have been a paid mod. Then when Valve removed it, they could have said "you're welcome."
