How do you think Amazon is getting all these deals? Because they're aggresively pushing for them. I dion't think Valve is actively doing that as much/at all.

Is risen 2 worth 10 dollars? How does it run on a mid level machine (Alienware laptop)

As long as they all add to our steam backlog.

What are your thoughts as to the state of Sir Roderick Bodkin? Is that a Cthulhu mask he's wearing? Or did the heat from re-entry through the atmosphere do him in, and that is in fact his desiccated skull?

What do you think GAF, Max Payne 3 for 15 or Sleeping Dogs for 25

I got sleeping dogs for 13 yesterday from gmg not sure if its still on sale.
Oh boy. :]
Sleeping Dogs was half the price on GMG a day or two ago. Steam's prices suck balls.

Amazon and other companies are probably taking a smaller percentage so as to make a dent in Steams numbers. Make no mistake if they were to gain market share then they would take the same percentage as Valve does or more. But in the end game would you want a privately owned company like Valve to be the largest DD distributer on PC, or a publicly traded company like Amazon?
The goal of every publicly traded company is the same, increase the value of their stock. Right now that is through an expanding customer base as more and more people buy goods through Amazon. Eventually when those numbers of customers level out it will be through higher prices and increased profit. There is only one thing that matters for a publicly traded company and that's the people who buy shares in the company. Nobody wants to pay $100 for a share that will be worth $90 6 months later. And a publicly traded companies only goal is to do their best to make sure that doesnt happen to the people that buy stock in their company. That's not the kind of business that I want in control of digital distribution on PC.
this one's a goodie cause IMO they're both close to GOTY material. I personally think Sleeping Dogs can get cheaper (it has been already) and ussually you dont get steam codes for Max Payne 3 deals outside of Steam, so.. take that as you will
As big as Steam is for PC Digital Distribution, you can't discount the fact that Amazon is the world's largest online retailer and one of the world's largest internet-based companies. I am sure Amazon has a ton of bargaining power, moreso than Valve.

All those people picking up XCom will not be disappointed.
Max Payne for $14.99 is a great deal right now.
I picked up Walking Dead. Should I watch some TV shows before playing the game?

What does the FC3 mention in the title reference?
Yes, well, the thing about Amazon is that they suck at making their own Digital Distribution client. See: Audible client for eBooks, which looks like a throwback to the 1990s. So I don't see this turning into a thing where they eventually get it into their heads to make a Steam client-like interface. For better or worse, they're not going "feed" the profits back into doing any kind of software development of that nature.

The game takes place before (or perhaps even a bit into) the comics, while the TV show is its own thing.

That all monies that would be used to buy FC3 will instead get used on the sale.

Max Payne 3 is only $11.24 here. Amazing price.

Well, Amazon probably gets a MFN clause . . . which basically tells suppliers that if they provide their goods to any other retailer at a lower price, then they have to provide that same lower price to Amazon too.

Ahh ok
They don't need to if they can keep selling Steam keys while undercutting Steam's prices. Trying to create a separate client isn't the way to go anyhow. Too many core PC gamers are locked into Steam's ecosystem, and as is evident about all of the threads bitching about Origin, they don't want any other game clients. If someone was going to successfully challenge Valve and Steam, it would have to be with a client that people already use for non-Steam games, like Battle.net. Even then, it may be too late.

OH DEAR GABE ALMIGHTY WTF AM I READING
Probably. As long as you are OK with the prospect of the game going on Sale for $20 or less in the next day or two on Steam. Nevermind the $15 sale on Amazon tomorrow. You definitely get enough content to justify $26.
You can not buy it because it's not the Anarchy Edition which Newegg is selling for the same price with free shipping. Given theirs is also the disc version which activates on Steam and is also like 25GB to download, I think the choice is clear here.

Is Max Payne 3/ARMA2-CO worth 15 bucks? Sorry if this has been asked to death. OP should summarize whats worth it in the OP for posterity.
I PREDICTED THE PAST AND WHAT IS THIS
Yeah, that would be an issue. I'm just annoyed that I own the Steam version and they never made the Anarchy edition preorder junk available as DLC and I'll be damned if I rebuy the game just for it. (Same issue with Dead Island and its GOTY version.)Not to where I live
I do not generally care for RTS games (more a fan of turn-based tactical games), but I love Company of Heroes. It's more of a tactical game. There is little base building and you control relatively few units compared to a normal RTS. You can't just spam a horde of minutes and send them off to die.
World in Conflict and Dawn of War 2 (particularly the latter) are in a similar vein. Awesome games.
I may pick up the lot of them again to have them on steam. The boxed copy I have include an endless patching process. lol
Yes there's actual strategy.
- cover
- suppression mechanic
- vehicles have weaker armor in the back
- pretty sure snipers have longer line of sight when garrisoned inside buildings and firing out the windows
Oh god I remember that. I think that was the sole reason I double dipped for the Steam version.

Anyone play Company of Heroes off of Steam? Does it have that THQ mandatory account and do you have to be always online to play?
I just want to play single player and thinking about getting the complete pack.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I know it's not a flash deal (or have it missed it?) and not on a regular sale either right now but:
Does anyone here own Lost Horizon? If so, how is it?

It will be $15 on amazon tomorrow. You could have purchased DS + a few copies of bad rats...your loss!
I can't see it being offered for $12.50 until at least next summer. The game just came out, and is selling well. Only 33% off and currently the second best seller behind Max Payne 3 at 75% off.
