When I read that first sentence I immediately started to get my hot tips to removing games from your account ready... then I read the rest.

Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai (i.e. the RAP4); 2016 revision. It's great. It's got a switch on the side to swap between DInput and XInput modes, so you can use it on your PC or your PS3/PS4 (whereas a lot of sticks are basically one or the other). The 2016 revision also has Hayabusa buttons which feel really nice.

Nier releasing on PC day and date with the console version.
Great news if true!
They've already done it with I Am Setsune. The game is not selling that well but it's just a smaller, indie-like budget compared to Nier so I guess it doesn't really reflect anything. We'll see how Nier will perform in March.
For me, Sixaxis controller feels more comfortable and easier to use, but I always get my right fingers stiffed or cramped after a long session. Never got it when I use an Xbox controller.

This is a roller coaster of emotions and the game hasn't even released yet

Say what you will about Dead Rising 4, the customization I'm seeing from streams looks bonkersauce.

Who owns the rights to Illbleed? Just wondering since that would be nice to get a port for from gamepump for example, though I dunno if that's classic enough.
Gamepump will make all your wildest dreams come true. Gamepump!
Maybe they don't see it as being profitable for them for some odd reason. What's the sales number on their previous entry from a single platform... not overall.
Edit: I found it.
North America
Persona 4 (PS2) 110,000 (150,000 expected)
Japan
Persona 4* (PS2) 300,000 (180,000 expected)
I feel like PC could do 300,000 on Persona 5 EASY.
SEGA tell Atlus to suck it up and release their delights on PC.

No, it can't do that. I already bought a PS4 for Persona 5.
And you know, it was like buying a PSTV for Persona 4, except for the price and the jet engine attached to it.
Old Football Manager games can often still be gotten for cheap if you scour ebay and the likes.
Virtua Tennis 4 and Windborne are still being sold relatively cheap by traders, afaik. Windborne seems to be 7 euros on G2A as a last resort. London 2012 is around 8 euros on G2A.
Blood of Old was widely bundled, it's 0.5 on G2A
Houston , we have a problem is 3 on G2A
Tuk Rukl is 2 on G2A

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Here's a fun end of year activity: What publishers do you think will be making the jump to Steam this year, and in what capacity?
We got a cheat-sheet for this kind of thing with the SteamDB leak, but we're flying blind this year.
What, if anything, will SEGA be delivering?
Is this the year Atlus does...something?
Does Atelier Firis mean Gust might port the rest of their library at some point?
Where the heck is Vanillaware? It was October last year they said they were exploring solutions.
I can't really remember what I would have predicted would come out by the end of this year, so maybe it'll be fun to check back on this post at this time '017. I'll start by saying...
- SEGA will definitely release one of their older games on PC this year. Maybe more than one! Fingers crossed it's Bayonetta/Vanquish/Resonance of Fate. Will question nature of reality if it's Panzer Dragoon Orta.
- Atlus will reluctantly be persuaded to port one of their iOS titles to Steam. Maybe. Probably not.
- Gust will follow Atlus' lead and not port anything. Or follow Koei Tecmo's lead, and have a terrible port, with terrible sales that will decrease interest in further ports. Because why learn!
- Vanillaware might be provoked into tweeting about something again.
- Nippon Ichi will port more of their back catalog because it seems to be working for them.
What do your crystal balls say, SteamGAF?

Persona 4 golden at $20 would sell like hotcakes
Bonus points should people be able to mod it
It'll be completely non-functional and require a crack as it's one of the few GFWL titles that don't support offline/local profiles.
The Football Manager games (2009 -> 2016, and 2013 Russian, which is the only region-specific version that counts for some reason) will get you to 101. Amazon is still selling RUSE keys for $10, and you can also pick up Star Trek DAC + Breach + Legends of the Pegasus for $15.32. Cities XL 2011 and 2012, London 2012, Nascar 2013 and 2014 are cheap on key reselling sites. Once FM 2016 has been pulled, you'll have 110.

But not to worry everyone you can just rebuy the game at full price!

Thanks. I started with Ride to Hell: Retribution ($2.50) and Blood of Old ($0.50) -- the former of which I actually want to owner to play. Gonna look into older football manager games to see which the cheapest are. Star Trek DAC is another one I wanted to play so I'll definitely scoop that up.
Edit: I signed up for one of those scam fraud websites where you watch ads and shit to get garbage and used that to get some garbage removed game called Titan for some reason.

Add cards, backgrounds, japanese voices and the ability to mod out Yukiko from the game and it would do great on steam.

I've been wanting to join this group for ages, well not that much, just to entertain myself really. But every time I get close they up the requirements. I even had enough at one point and they upped it before I could join! I'm now at 108/110 and I assume by the time I get two more they'll up the entry requirement again.

Wait, why would Capcom remove one of their own games that they 100% own the rights to?
Too late, the next Atelier is confirmed to get a PC release.

Probably because they don't own Jean Reno's face and voice.
Delete your account.
This is the worst post I've seen on GAF since that post calling for Chun-Li's thighs to be smaller.
man yeah the steam controller battery life is pretty awesome, still testing it to see when it'll run out

Don't lump me in with those heathens!
A cursory search suggests that the game has compatibility/technical issues on Win7 and beyond, and the November 2014 hardware survey data states that almost 90% of Steam's active userbase was running such an OS. I doubt Jean Reno's likeness and voice was a factor as the game was pulled a couple of months before turning 11 and, in all likelihood, it would have been contract work, not a matter of licensing (e.g. Bowie in Omikron).

All yours once Salsa gets himself banned as per tradition.
Yup that's exactly how I read it. I should start a group where you really have to have removed games from your Steam account to be eligible. Minimum 100 and then we'll go up from there.
There's literally no way to ever verify this so anyone will be able to join
Run-time locks are only minor annoyance these days. After 90 days, they magically become region free. Expect can't be family shared, as family sharing is more strict about region locks (even just activation locked games can't be shared).
Not exactly. If you're accessing the shared library from an IP of a country permitted by the activation/runtime restriction flags, then the games will appear. For example (normal IP top, South Korean IP bottom):

I'd rather have Etrian Odyssey tbh.
So maybe it was because I'm still on Windows 7, but getting a XBOne controller up and running was a bit of a headache.
Had it wired, then it installed drivers which didn't really work. Googled, was told to use the MS update catalogue to download them. Extracted the files, but the INF files refused to install. Googled again, learned there was a proper installer for the drivers, but MS pulled them, because "don't worry, Windows Update has you covered." Cue me trying to find if I can find the update in Windows Update.
Finally I get them working by installing and finding the drivers manually and unlike the 360 controller, the system sorta mostly sees it as a generic controller in the Devices window. No big deal I guess. Guess they really want to push W10 that hard that they're making trying to get a XBOne controller on W7 such a task.
Guide button doesn't launch Steam BPM but I'm trying not to sweat it since I don't use it with my 360 pad.
Tried a few games out with the controller and they seem fine. The problem is I've run into some exceptions, mostly crap ports that don't give a fuck about the XBOne controller like Samurai Warriors 4-2 and One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 which don't even really give a fuck about XInput at all. I try for a bit but realize not even something like X360CE will help.
So I kinda like the XBOne controller overall but I feel like I should've just stuck with my 360 pad cause it seems to just cover everything new and also catches some of the weird Japanese ports. I've never had any problems with my 360 pad since day 1 except some stick drift (it's been like 6+ years). Or I should've just bought another 360 pad to keep as a spare.

All these years, it never occured to me to ask this: If I buy a russian key, login to steam with a russian IP using a VPN and activate it, then revert to the IP of my real locale, what happens to the game and my account?
