I wonder, could it be a Steam overlay issue? There have been games that react badly to it, though generally it's older stuff.
Haven't played it myself, but I've definitely come across Steam games that have overlay issues.

Never bought from Games Republic but GMG hasn't let me down.
I highly doubt completely missing features are in the contract for their own version. The potential blow back of a title advertising online play vs not having it, is a serious case of false advertisement. Adding on, that is something I can't recall a single Sony title doing in the past. It had more to do with discussing the PC version which been quite common with both MS and Sony exclusives, which there is a history of. This team also did something similar with the Joe Danger situation. One with Sony, One with MS.
This isn't a ball that should be passed to Sony.
They probably told him to shut the fuck, similar to when Directors of films getting smacked by negative reviewers come out and all they are doing is making the situation worse. Not to mentioning, this company had the PC version out today. More word gets out that it is a stinker, the worse it will do. The director having a meltdown online isn't going to help the situation.
In other news, I've just finished Higurashi Chapter 1 - Onikakushi.
Damn great read, despite me having watched the anime some time ago and therefore still remembering some of the events.
Got legit chills at times, and the end was just pure intensity.
The after-story extra was pretty amusing, though.
Seems like I really prefer straight VNs to Telltale-style games. I've still only completed 3 episodes of Tales from the Borderlands. (And just looking it up, apparently I started with that one at the end of December

This is veering into tinfoil territory, buuuuuuut..
There were a LOT of angry 4channers who were planning on buying the game, posting a negative review and then requesting a refund.. and then going to buy it from GOG/pirate it because they had a DRM free version or something?
This is why I stick with console releases for the day 1 stuff and double dip when it's cheap on PC.
To be fair, he did get on Twitter and say not to expect ANY multiplayer, which, of course is being heralded at lying of the highest order.
No matter what, they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Is it perhaps the most innovative clicker you've played in years?

Should I be worried?
No, someone just tried to redeem a code you already redeemed.
Should I be worried?
I wouldn't be concerned if you have 2 factor authentication enabled. I've received these from time to time over the years.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Hmm, not sure what it could be from? A giveaway maybe?
Should I be worried?
I also just received this one 13 minutes ago. Won a giveaway on Steamgifts, might be related ?
Yeah, things like this can be a problem. Doesn't mean it is something you have done. Could be that the original person from a giveaway accidentally tried to giveaway the same key so some other guy entered it and Steam and you get bumped.

Bought HITMAN Full Experience on PC even though I already own the first 3 episodes on PS4, it's hard going back to that version now that I have 1070, that shit is Rough with a capital R.

In term of concurrent playerbase, No Man's Sky is the biggest Steam launch of the year with 212k concurrent players. It is "at least 46% more than what was achieved by every other 2016 release at launch"

Fascinating, yet ironic at the same time if we look at the user reviews.
It means lots of people pre-ordered it with a belief that the game will be running just fine.
However, apparently GOG version is fine? That could be easily patched if true.

listen to the mad man
yes, this is what happens if someone redeems a key that you have already redeemed and then clicks the wrong button. the feature is designed so that if you have two accounts, you can jog your memory about the second one--but in practice it's just bazillions of false positive emails from giveaways.

Is there a way to rebind controls in ABZU? Boosting with mouse seems tedious.

Disappointing.
Should I be worried?
I got worried the first time I received one of these. It's just a Steam feature that allows anyone who enters a used key to send a mail to the Steam account that actually redeemed it. I guess it's useful when you have multiple Steam accounts and you don't know where you redeemed a key.

Steam 'reviews' are broken.
The NMS 'reviews' on Steam are akin to GAF requiring a thumbs-up/thumbs-down with each post in the PC Performance thread, then tallying those to determine a game's position in the GOTY awards.
What's being scored here, though? The 'game' itself (after merely minutes of playtime in many cases), or the technical proficiency and compatibility of said title just hours after launch?
I'm not for a moment suggesting rough launches, lack of testing, shitty optimisation, poor compatibility etc is to be excused, but I'm not sure why so many are so hell bent on needing to hit the 'review' button so quickly and impatiently. Instant gratification societal crap coupled with a 'look at me' culture, I suppose.

Reading through a few game relase calendars, there's actually not much I really care about.

I'd be wary about some of these reviews - one of the most helpful reviews claims that the game is locked to 720p, which is obviously not the case. Call out the crashes, poor LOD, and performance issues, though, as those things need to be addressed.

I just beat the first episode of the original Doom for the first time. It holds up shockingly well.

Deus Ex is gonna be amazing.
Hopefully a PC version will be reviewed. I need a technically sound game to play this August.
Also... Lashley is not lashman? I've lost track.
