Need some advice.

I want to gift a game to a friend of mine who lives in France, but I've heard gifting games across regions is a no-no on Steam now. What's the best way to do this?

My friend isn't a gamer and she wouldn't have a Steam account. Sending her money (not even sure how to do that internationally) then giving her instructions on how to set everything up isn't ideal, but is that really the only option?

40 bucks for Helldivers... Better look up some reviews for this thing.

"40 bucks for Helldivers if you want the entirely superfluous DLC packages" would be the more accurate way of putting it.

Why are people excited for ne TMNT game from Platinum? It is Activision funded game and that means low budget release that Platinum took to keep studio alive. Like they did with all Activision published games. It would probably be good game but smaller scale and scope.

Because Transformers was actually surprisingly legit.

If you're in the US it won't matter. It's only a issue if you're from a area with lower exchange rates like Russia or South America...
I can gift to SA, but SA can't gift to me if I recall.

Hey guys, I believe I read somewhere that Valve was doing away with dailies and that they were encouraging sellers to list the best discount they could.

Was there many games that had discounts altered during the sale?

Ubisoft was doing their own thing during the sale.

Really? That's good news, I assumed it was on a regional basis. I'm in the US, so I'll give it a shot.

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.

It really was, although I think it was a bit overpriced at launch. $50 was a bit high - but I'm happy I was able to pick up my copy over Black Friday for $15. In my opinion, the game would have been a better value at $30. $40 max.

I'm sure Nvidia's Game Ready drivers will sort that out. You know the ones being held hostage behind GFE.

I have noticed that only 2.8 version that is in Beta i think locks drivers behind email. With 2.7.x version i can download drivers without email.

Agreed, it really should not have been 50 in the first place.

If she doesn't even have a steam account with 5 bucks spent I believe you can't even gift here to begin with.

Also you get a warning and won't be able to gift if the game is locked to your region.

Well if TMNT from Platinum is 20-30$ game with decent length, coop and replay value i guess i will be ok with it. But knowing Activision that won't happen. For God sake they charged 60$ for Tony Hawk 5 XD

On my drive into work today I saw someone with custom Oregon license plates that said "HECKA"

I like that they do these bundles, because it shuts up the "oh it's for charity" crowd. No, bundles are for cheap games. Benefiting charity is just a convenient side effect.

At least everything goes to charity, so I think it's ok that it's higher. I won't buy it though.XD

Yeah indivisible should be making it. Pretty interesting to see that an extension and some indie inclusions can go a long way.

I didn't know it was already extended once. Still, they've put a ton of work into that campaign and I'm happy they'll get to make the game.
