Modbot is becoming the Grinch. He's stealing our games and trying to ruin our Christmas.

Lol.
If it's not a glitch, mods are using modbot to anonymously claim the games.
And H.C. Fildren isn't a real person.
H.C. Fildren is real to me.
I'm setting up a blacklist of all the mods and modbot right now.
WTF is that?
Seems like it uses free system RAM to make a temporary RAM-based drive for a game to fully install to. Useless for most people, I'd wager. I recall a few companies trying their hand at "RAMDisk" products about 8 or so years ago but, unsurprisingly, the idea never took off, and while you get more memory for your buck these days, SSDs are at affordable prices.

Sounds expensive, and I want it.
Edit: JaseC is right

I know two people who could potentially benefit from it:
Haha, I'd rather pick up a 240GB SSD.
100GB for Windows and the remainder for Atraveller

No.
For the most part. Some require a VPN to activate.
Haha, I'd rather pick up a 240GB SSD.gamesAssCreed is the plan. When I bought my Vertex 2 I figured 60GB would be plenty seeing as I was moving up from a 20GB partition, however a while after reinstalling Windows I'd be fighting to stay above a free space percentage of 10%.
I'm pretty sure there are Memory Slot-bound SSD Drives now.
Yes there are. Supposedly, CPU has faster access to them:

i don't know why, but that sounds dumb.

It should say on the page if the game is region locked. If it doesn't say then it's region free.
Edit: reportedly that's not always accurate.
Nuuvem usually will state it outright if it's region locked but I usually check steamdb first anyway just to be sure. I wouldn't advise using a VPN to activate personally, though you should definitely stay away from any game that has an "onlyallowrun" tag, which would require a VPN to play the game itself.

Happy holidays everyone!
I think I'm up to the next to last chapter of The Evil Within. It's definitely one of my favorite games this year, despite some of the occasionally awful checkpoints. Oh, and the option to remove the letterboxing and FOV fix make it so much better. I completely forgot to install the fix the first time I played the game, so having experienced the game with and without the fix, I can safely say that the fix is definitely needed.
Also KOTOR II is finally cheap again, so that's good.
If you're concerned, ask and someone will check for you (Nuuvem's own region-lock notices generally do not reflect reality). Regarding VPN usage, though, while the SSA technically forbids using one at all, in practice Valve hasn't taken action against those who use one to just activate a key or unlock a game early -- you'll find no shortage of people here who've used a VPN for one or both of the aforementioned reasons. It's even a requirement for game collectors as some region-specific stuff is exclusive to retail and tied to an activation-restricted sub.
Wait, I'm going to buy the Season Pass if the game comes back on sale/the next time it goes on sale.
I thought it didn't have this DLC pack in it, but it does.
I've made a grave mistake.

Winner's Remorse. I know that feel.
Either modbot is utterly lagged or there's a "NoWinnersDaily" rule in there somewhere, because I didn't get a message.
So I'm actually glad this time around.

You just missed the clearance of Samsung 840 stock as Samsung has started shipping the 850 evo/pro. (Don't get the 850 Evo)
Hmm, interesting. I wonder if wider adoption will occur.
I was aware of it, but decided against picking up a drive as doing so would have eaten into my Winter Sale budget.

What's wrong with the 850 Evo?
