What possible technical reasons could be preventing a game that was already released on steam to be put back onto steam? If the problems are legal or otherwise unmentionable just say that and don't make up nonsense.

Unless technical is meant in the intricate sense.

 

[morningbus]

Well I mean they're trying to ask for a bit of detail and he just keeps saying the same crap over and over, he could just give them a legit reason and be done with it. It comes off like he doesn't give a shit and is just trying to shut them up, could just my interpretation though.

The answer probably isn't easily digestible over twitter and any answer he gives will be megaphoned out over the internet. Plus he probably doesn't have the authority to give a reason.

I know I sure as hell wouldn't be going into specifics if I could avoid it.

It kinda sounded to me the other way around, funnily enough. That twitter conversation reads a bit too overbearing to me, at least the last "how technical" tweet. Dude gave you an answer, no matter how vague. That's like someone telling you they can't come tomorrow or whatever "for personal reasons" and you asking what those reasons are. Take the hint.
It's clear he doesn't want to go into details, and no matter how much you think he should, if you keep asking he's not the one being an ass there... I'm sure that's not the intent, but ey, twitter.

I was able to buy Batman off Nuuvem like...yesterday? I think.

Seemed to go through ok.

 

[Stallion Free]

I don't see the point in entertaining questions like the ones being asked. He clearly can't answer them publicly and a vague response is literally always interpreted as condescension, hatred, and malevolence in situations like these. The public isn't worth engaging on the internet.

He didn't have to answer at all. 140 characters are not enough to go into details about what the reasons might be. Besides, we got the main answer: the game is not coming back to Steam anytime soon.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Nuuvem page doesn't say Batman's region locked, and I only got errors when trying to use Hola. Went through fine when I bought it this weekend as well.

Wouldn't it just better to say something along those lines of "Can't talk about it"? I hadn't been following it closely enough to know it was an ongoing discussion but in that case Akuosa's post is a good one. Was going to say why say anything at all but given it was clear the question would keep getting asked otherwise I guess it's better to come out with a definite statement, no matter how vague or inaccurate that makes it clear that nothing is happening.

I'm gonna challenge Pete Hines to an irl fist fight to get to the bottom of this.

That guy was such a jerk to ask how technical.

 

[Atraveller]

To people who bought Arkham Knight, don't you have Witcher 3 that can last you through June?

 

[mrgone]

Pete Hines does always come across as a guy who's desperately trying not to punch everyone in the room

(Doing PR I would definitely want to punch everyone in the room at all times too)

 

[didamangi]

Spiders RPG Pack $12.49 on Amazon. (Bound by Flame, Faery : Legends of Avalon, Mars: War Logs, Of Orcs And Men)

If anyone has a spare Of Orcs And Men I would gladly buy it off you. Or maybe we can start a split?

 

[Akuosa]

That guy was such a jerk to ask how technical.

Indeed, can't imagine having to talk with him, ugh. Luckily that won't happen.

 

[jaundicejuice]

If Bethesda are sausage makers, Pete Hines is just the guy that sells you the sausages. He's the VP of Public Relations and Marketing.

 

[Vibranium]

Just release a Wolf 2009 HD remaster and there you go! It's worth a shot haha.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Indeed, can't imagine having to talk with him, ugh. Luckily that won't happen.

Lol good thing.
But in all seriousness though I asked thinking it would go into more detail. The reply to me is when I knew it wasn't going anywhere. I don't mess with Twitter much but sometimes it seems people seem to wait on giving more info unless asked specifically.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Is Star Wars Republic Commando worth the $2.99?

Yes, and it's aged pretty well, I'd say.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Just to remind everyone, the person being talked to on Twitter is the guy who got caught lying about the development status of Prey 2, so I'm not really sure why there's any reason to believe him. He's clearly a guy who feels lying when asked a question is a better option than declining to answer. What's the difference here?

Oh man. Totally forgot. I am now able to play this game.

I could not earlier.

For technical reasons.

R$ 34,99 ($11.91)

Only region locked in Germany.

Steam's IP-locks are still not working btw.

Huuuuhhhh? Need to verify. Someone send me a Wolf:TNO key.

Need it for technical reasons.

Everything sounds better, if it is for technical reasoning.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Guerrilla isn't my favourite Red Faction but I'm tempted to re-install and give it another go now that it's GFWL-free.

I forgot how ridiculous Space Marine is, it's the original Orc Execution Simulator. Decided to play the game on hard when I haven't touched it in 4 years, died on the tutorial level because I forgot about how executions equal health. The shoot-y-shoot-y-bang parts are just the preamble to soften enemies up for the melee combat, so you can stun and execute them for health. And all of the ways you murder Orcs, Space Marine gives Mordor a run for its money.

The amount of cards this game has is kind of nuts. 15 cards total with 8 drops.

I kind of miss THQ, they were such a kickass PC game publisher towards the end. One of the first to switch over to Steamworks. Their PC ports were always well done after that. And they were kinda one of the last B-tier publishers. Stuff like Darksiders, Red Faction, Saints Row, Metro and the Warhammer games weren't always the greatest games in their genre, but they were always fun.

 

[DriftedPlanet]

that bundle would be freaking nuts even by humble bundle standards

It would be a nice bundle, though I wouldn't call it nuts.
Humble Indie Bundle V was nuts.

He was the utmost standard in being forthright with info during the Skyrim PS3 issues as well.

To people who bought Arkham Knight, don't you have Witcher 3 that can last you through June?

I play through some ridiculous number of games at once, probably why it takes me forever to finish a game. Witcher 3 will most likely trump Batman, though.

I got a fancy new Samsung 4K tv as my old Vizio finally bit the bullet and had been testing out my destkop via the PC mode(10 bit color panel/4:4:4 so that's great!) and forgot to set the PS4 signal to game mode and my lord the horror. Bloodborne's erratic framerate with terrible motion smoothing came together to create one of the weirdest and most nauseating things I've ever seen. I'm almost tempted to leave it at default for a while just because it's so bizarre.

Looking forward to next month's possible 980Ti so I can actually play 4K games via it! Ryse was pretty hot at 25 FPS

I have a ROW gift copy of Old Blood in my inventory and I can't activate it.

Or is it only for cd keys?

Hm. Good question. I think what theExpert meant was not activation but being able to play games which are ip-locked.

You do know you can activate TNO/Old Blood via VPN on Steam though, right? Whether key or inventory item. Inventory being a bit risky option though..
Only problem is it should be not able to start with a German IP. But apparently it does.

so this is weird but hey

anyone got much experience with dungeon defenders 2?

sounds fun for coop

 

[Stumpokapow]

so this is weird but hey

there goes any chance of me ever using that skin

Pop-under ads?
Really?
Get tae fok.

 

[chronomac]

I tried to play Battlefront II earlier but kept getting kicked to the desktop when I started a mission. I could adjust settings and browse menus but starting any gameplay crashed it.

I tried to run it as an administrator, tried different versions of Windows via the compatibility mode, and I even went so far as to reinstall the game.

But I finally fixed it...by plugging in a mic. That's it. That's the solution. I should have just Googled this from the start.

 

[zkylon]

?

 

[Salsa]

I changed to classic Air once I realized the lag from that one was gone a while ago

 

[zkylon]

they need to make a dark version of air

or someone needs to make an actually colorful skin

pressure kind of does that but it looks a bit too "modern" or whatever for me

 

[iosefe]

Long live pixel vision!

 

[Chance Hale]

I've been using Metro for a few years at this point, still the best for my tastes. Simple and clean without sacrificing functionality.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Long live pixel vision!

I just found out that pixelvision had it's mantle taken up by someone and is now being developed as pixelvision v2.

 

[zkylon]

apparently Dark Air is coming

cool

Long live pixel vision!

i forget what it is about pixel vision that it made me switch

i do really really like being able to like svn update new pressure versions without having to go to any site

 

[corrosivefrost]

cool


i forget what it is about pixel vision that it made me switch

i do really really like being able to like svn update new pressure versions without having to go to any site

Probably the fact that the original dev "retired" and the skin fell woefully out of date.
Pixelvision V2 apparently has an updater program that gets the new version from github and extracts and restarts for you. Seems pretty decent.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I am using Metro yet I don't have pop up ads?

 

[Corpekata]

The ads are on their website, not the skin. Which is leading me to wonder why anyone is upset about it or put off about it. They have a GMG affiliate ad. Oh noes?

 

[Parsnip]

I just found out that pixelvision had it's mantle taken up by someone and is now being developed as pixelvision v2.

There is also BoxelVision.
