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.
I agree. I made sense where they had it before, for things like EVE Online subscriptions. 1 month / 3 months / 6 months makes a lot more sense than "Blades of Time" / "Blades of Time Limited Edition" / "Blades of Time Extra Boob Physics Edition".

Did you get it when it was free on Steam perchance?
I did and recently have found out that the game is not on my account anymore, still since I had installed it already if I launch the exe manually from its folder it works somehow, I don't know whether achievements work as well though.

Yes, I think so.
Well shit, if they were gonna do that, why bother making the soon-to-be-defunct sub free.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Get back to work. Those movies aren't going to show themselves
I restarted the client and got one myself, but thanks for the offer.
At 4:30am it's more like "Get back to bed."
Such a waste. If you are going to do an HD remake, you should probably choose a game that needs it. And preferably one where you are capable of doing the entire game.
There are so many terrible looking 3D games from that generation, but nope, lets keep remastering games from the golden era of 2D sprite art.

Not a mod, just a bot.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I was gone for three days, what did you do? Who broke Steam? Why is Gabe crying gems?
The yeti was hungry. I just wanted to give him a snack. I didn't know it would lead to this.
The Dreamcast SHMUP, Redux: Dark Matters, that was released earlier this year is finally hitting Steam. There's a 20% discount for early purchasers. Brings it down to $9.74
I don't know about the game but... OST featuring Chris Huelsbeck - which composed the soundtrack for, ie, Giana Sisters (C64), R-Type (C64 & Amiga) and the three Turrican games (Amiga)
So I'm crashed out on the sofa playing DA:I via In Home Streaming when it occurs to me this is slightly crazy as these are competing services. There is not a chance you'd be streaming a Xbox One game through a PS4 no matter how much money changed hands and even less so with the poor WiiU anywhere in the equation. Yeah it sure is rubbish being a PC gamer these days ain't it.

Valve as a lot of artists in their employ. Perhaps more than programmers, all told. It makes sense.
it pains me to see a mystery giveaway that i can't enter
I should do some no monthly winner giveaway the day after the winter sale and put something extra special.

Any way to sort your library by genre? I have too many games to search individually

It definitely looks like something to get only if you're trying to have a SHMUP collection on Steam
Freedom = $1.05

Apparently, the 16 years they've had to figure out how to get KOF98 running on a PC wasn't enough so they're delaying it a few days to make sure it gets lost in the Winter Sale shuffle.

does crafting badges still drop special winter cards? even after the gemocalypse.
no pls
Nope, but it's a feature I've posted about on the steam forums before. They have tags now so it shouldn't be too difficult.

given that most games fall into about 5 genres, you are kind of on your own.
Mods, please bring this back to Gaming. I never check Community
I posted this yesterday, but whatever

Dang I guess I can search the store by RPG and see which ones I own
If you know what genre you're after, a super roundabout way would be to utilise Enhanced Steam's endless scrolling feature in conjunction with searching the store for games specifically and the genre of your choice. The ability to sort one's library by genre rather than status/type has been one of the most heavily-requested features for so long that it's hard to believe it's not on the cards (but of course, the matter of "when?" is entirely up in the air).
Haha, okay. It makes sense for Valve, but in a technical way I don't actually get it.
But hey, all the times were you fix something with Enhanced Steam that Valve should be doing, but instead they are asleep behind the wheel, probably start by drawing a picture to illustrate their mistake, I'm not that surprised by their way of working. ;-)
