Have you played Solitaire in Windows 10? It has ads that display on the screen in the menus and while you're playing. It has card deck designs you can buy as DLC.

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.

Wow... I bet you can also find a physical deck of cards for less than the DLC.

Want to play solitaire without ads? That'll be $1.49 a month or $10 a year.

Maybe having Xbox Live Gold in the future will give you premium access for free...

I can't imagine RE2 being an upscaled PS1 game considering the engine for REmake and RE0 remaster is already there and could probably be used to recreate RE2 in that style

Just don't cry about it being too hard ;P
I'll do a quite write up review for it later since I got far into it on the 3DS ver.
One tip I can provid ethough is that you keep ANY upgrade points you earn even after a game over.

Is it no longer possible to bypass the 7 days trade restriction with the ssfn file? Or is it something else I need? I copied just that file and it didn't work. Have another chance on the laptop though, which I also want to reinstall. I did log in on steamcommunity first before using Steam with the SSFN file, does that have anything to do with it not working?

What the hell does one do with coins in a solitary game?o_O

If I'm going to play Solitaire on the computer, I'm going to dig up the old Windows 3.1 version haha, oh the hours I've spent with that one, that and minesweeper.

Well seeing as the vast majority of PS One games were rendered at 320x224, at 4:3 ratios with a PAR accounting for nonsquare pixels and then output at 640x480 also including overscan compensation a bit more effort needs to go into a straight up conversion for today's displays, especially regards to aspect ratio, safeareas/overscan regions, resolution and that we use square pixels for everything now. Of course seeing how the Mega Man Legacy Collection ignored most of this (and this was a collection striving for 'accuracy') I wouldn't put it past Capcom.

I feel like my purchasing of those dual stick Halo shooters for $.10 over the black friday weekend on the windows 10 store sent microsoft the wrong message about how popular their services are on PC.

Blame me, everyone. I sold out.

As someone that actually plays the dang solitaire game on a PC in 2015, y'all are wrong on this one.

I should pick up Regency Solitaire on steam so I won't feel the need to defend the windows version, though.

Honestly no idea how any of the online stuff works yet, but life finds a way and we'll probably figure shit out

Will probably sink deep into the SP at first anyway

I play this game every now and then. Ads don't show up while you play.

That's good to hear. Obviously there are ads somewhere though, or they wouldn't be charging to remove them. Are they just in the menus and such?

I played a bit of Microsoft Jigsaw the other day. I had to watch a full screen video advertisement for 30 seconds before a puzzle would load. Crazy.

Oh, yes, there's an ad in the bottom of the main menu where the paid stuff are and one on the game over page. Nothing you have to wait for, though. Yikes!

Steam should do monthly subscriptions to offer better services for its users. I would gladly pay $50 a year to be able to play online with my friends.
