Transformers worries me too.
Never forget, friend.
Maker's balls, dat gif....
Oh, I know
I was just trying to do a funny. Sorry.
The one time your post gets noticed and it's an unfunny joke. Tough luck.
It would be absolutely crazy for them to have gotten a 3 months license and bothered to make a game out of it.

So which games are the usual suspects for SteamGAF game nights..? I guess Sanic Racing is probably on there after the latest HB.
not really, it's Acti we are talking about and as we all knew it won't last, many already bought it, all according to Acti plans (><)
edited: I actually thought we all bought it, judging by discussions around release time
Stop making me want to jump in a game whose series I haven't even played D:
instant quest to indiegala monday 17 also (earlier, most likely posted)

He went to the dark side.i miss cheddahz, what ever happened to him, was he banned or did he abandon me?
He posted on the activity feed, saying he'll be going full-xbox for a while.
Another good thing is it does everything for you. All I had to do was accept a request and I'm instantly streaming.
I never thought I'd stream a game as I wasn't interested enough in setting it all up, but I did today quite easily.
Shows you how front-loaded their sales model is. They build everything around the idea of day one sales and assume most people who are going to buy will do it in the first couple of months, so they don't think it's worth holding onto a license to sell games to the "stragglers". I can see it for physical media (even though it's a messed-up model, and I think a lot of the screwed up practices in games today have their roots in that disposable, high-turnover game model). For digital, where there's no need to clear off shelf space to make room for new titles every couple of months, it seems kind of ridiculous.

That's also indicative of the console demographic.

Nevermind. I did a hard reload and that fixed it.

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.
Yep, most publishers don't count on a game getting many sales after the first few months, since everyone that wanted it bought it already and a lot of those people are offloading their used copies to Gamestop. After a few months a used copy of your game sells for so low that you have to keep lowering your base price to stay competitive until you end up in the $5 bin.
With digital games it's all about "will renewing this license generate enough revenue on places like Steam to make it worthwhile?". Activision traditionally believes the answer is "no", but maybe they'll surprise us this year.

Generations is a great game. I really wish they would just make Sanic games like that, rather than.. yanno.. most of the other stuff.

I know this was already posted but I HIGHLY recommend Post Mortem, Still Life, and Still Life 2.

Tack in the two Syberias and Scratches, and you have a fantastic bundle.

I figured as much but I really hope it hits that bargain bin price.
Deadpool is gone everywhere, not just PC right? So Korra will probably get the axe as well on all other systems?

Wow, all the good giveaways happened when I was sleeping.

As I said when they were getting rid of Dead Pool it got quite the discount.
So if they are planning as much for Korra, then I would assume they would do the same for a last ditch effort to maximize sales. I see it hitting at least 50% off activisons favorite discount.

Happy birthday! Go out there and... do... uh... whatever four-dimensional hypercubes do for fun on their birthdays! >.>

you probably shouldn't have streamed porn. Just a thought.

They're always watching...
Edit: I think there's an icon you can click in the Steam overlay to see the chat.
Major missed business opportunity there. I think I still have all mine somewhere.
you know what to do

When I come home at night
And bang the door real tight
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
But can the people on Steam see me or am I just paranoid?
Wolf09 and Deadpool are the only Acti games to get last-minute discounts (almost literally in the case of the latter). Blur, the James Bond games and most recently Monster Jam were all yanked unceremoniously.
And I managed to snag precisely none of them. But then again, only ones I was interested in was Deadpool, cause... Deadpool, and Wolf09 to see just how bad it is.
its not. its not singularity tier of goodness, but its not terrible by any means.
My plan was to "wormtongue" someone into doing it.

Guess in those cases they just needed that refund on the IPs really badly.
EDIT:
For anyone using metro skin on Steam.
How do you get rid of the annoying green guy square in account.
Wolf09 is pretty solid. I prefer Singularity as the former's hub structure isn't anything to write home about, but Raven was one of the last bastions of classic FPS gameplay and the individual levels don't disappoint in that regard.
Monster Jam actually ran its course, surprisingly enough.

Now that's funny. Wonder what the case was there.
Guess it just wasn't worth the trouble or something.
It needs the steam overlay?
Because it's not letting me watch anything.
today is my birthday, happy birthday to me!
Happy Birthday
That new streaming stuff is crazy. People streaming anime shows via VLC player lol. The quality for some of the stuff I watched was very damn good as well.
Surprised Valve was able to stealth drop such a big community feature. No one saw this coming at all. I wonder what other big stuff they can stealth drop.

My bad! I forgot Activision used to let their studios make good games! And man, I loved Singularity, even though you could tell it needed a lot more time :|
And yay, that's... 34 +1's for under 8 bucks!
... Although I've yet to activate them all because I got locked out halfway through. smh.
