Valve adds new Steam gifting restrictions, to combat cheating

From the wording, it sounds like you'll still be able to save to your inventory games/software that are not VAC or Game Ban-enabled, as this is a move designed to curb cheating in multiplayer games. Valve explains:

"When a user is caught cheating, their Steam account is banned from playing multi-player on secured servers. This creates an incentive for people who cheat to stockpile copies of games on one account and to gift them to low value accounts where they can continue cheating. In response to this problem, Steam no longer allows users to purchase copies of VAC or Game Ban enabled games to their inventory. Additionally, if an account has directly gifted a game to other players who have been VAC or permanently Game Banned, then that account will lose the ability to gift that game.

"We’ve taken these steps to ensure the integrity of the multi-player experience for those participating in online gaming communities. We understand that the restrictions on buying to inventory may be inconvenient for some legitimate users, but we believe that these steps will reduce the number of cheaters you’ll play against. And that’s important in having an online gaming experience that’s fair and enjoyable for everyone."

Have you checked SteamDB?
Click to expand...

No. I don't know how to use it to check updates or whether it has all DLCs or something like that. Can you show me how to check if it contains all DLCs?

All I found is this page : https://steamdb.info/app/208650/

I can't find how to check if the Season Pass has all those DLCs.

Yes, the season pass includes everything.

Ok. Nice. Thank you. I bet the PS4 Premium Version has all DLCs too.

Arkham Knight worth €7.5?
(I liked what I played of Asylum and City)
Click to expand...

It's more Batman.

Better gameplay, nonexistent bosses (worse than City, better than Asylum), story is mostly as bad as past games with some bits that are way better.

Don't play it if you want a Metroid-lite experience like Asylum (which was never a true Metroid-like, but w/e).

It's the best Batman simulator on the market.

My advice is to never destroy communicators or control panels at the militia checkpoints so that they respawn, and just run around town taking them out however you like. I would've appreciated an entire mode just like that.

If I didn't experience semi-frequent hitching out in the city when launching the game, I could dicked around in the city forever

I just finished Undertale last night.
I expected it to be more overrated than it was. Actually really liked it for the most part.

Not a fan of the fact that
I took the pascifist route the whole time but didn't get the good ending yet cause i missed some side quest friendship thing. The true ending like significantly different too. Games annoy me with those really strict paths you must follow for true ending.

Really unique approach though and stayed surprisingly fresh throughout.

You can go back and do it, doesn't take too long.

There's really no way to get the True Pacifist ending the first time. Even if you befriended most of the cast, an additional section doesn't unlock until after getting the neutral ending first

What made me like Arkham Asylum the most was that it's the only entry in the series that is analogue to Metroid Prime, in the sense that it's a well realized metroid-like in a 3D environment (with some reservations, like the upgrades having to be "acquired" with XP points and not through plataform challenges where you use your gadgets). The cramped map size also helps in making the progression feel more natural. In the sequels, even with all improvements made, I never managed to enjoy them as much. Not sure how to put my finger on it, but I assume that the open world approach caused that, since it made the game feel unnecessarily big for what it was trying to do, and it didn't feel like you were constantly making progress like in the former game.

Yeah as above. Seemed to make sense to me. Really enjoyed it. Shame the fans are so ridiculous that it kind of ruins how I remember the game

Fans are the worst and best thing. People tend to hype stuff so much that when you finally do partake and it turns out to be okay to good, you're still all like "this shit still wasn't Thriller. Thriller. "

Saturn.de offers the PS4 version of Mighty No.9 for 10€ (and X1 Overwatch Origins 20€), tempting considering I could resell the disc....
