Capcom doesn't deserve money until I can do either one of these things again.
But i'll keep giving it to them because of the catch22 involved.

Anyone on the fence for the NieR: Automata Play-Asia pre-order, I got a response after buying it and it is region locked to Europe for sure.

I have a VPN but I still got a refund to be on the safe side and just buy it for full price when it launches.

lol just noticed Dead Rising 4 is twice the price of Resident Evil VII here
Capcom has been way too inconsistent with regional pricing

Wow, thanks for the heads up, like I said above I really wanted to at least get Nier and my hopes were on finding the PC version at a price I could afford, this might do it. I hope it's a good port.

I do not think I've made a single giveaway this entire month of February.
Click to expand...
I haven't made a giveaway for like half a year. I feel that not knowing if the people that win the games want to play them takes away a lot of the fun. Before giveaways were more rare and more appreciated. Now everyone does them and the value of games has gone down with all the bundles. Some of the giveaways here have amazing games, but because they were in a bundle people seems to care less for them. Giving away a more valuable game sort of feels like a waste because it might show up in a bundle pretty soon, and people have more games than they can play anyway.

Not going to stop making giveaways, just some thoughts :) I have one more reason to not doing them, and it's because of the work involved making them. Never felt up to it lately for personal reasons.
 
ModBot

ModBot

Not a mod, just a bot.
Thanks to an anonymous benefactor, I am giving away a Steam key. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line from the message below containing the game you want to enter for. Confused? Watch this GIF tutorial or ask for help.
Want to make your own ModBot giveaway? Click here for a quick tutorial thread. Please give generously.

ModBot Basics:
- Do not trade keys you win off-site to enrich yourself. Don't try to claim games you have no interest in collecting or playing. Don't claim games to give them to friends off-site.
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two.

Make the name of the game link to the respective (Steam) store page, and the ModBot code (MB-4E123456ABCDE5D) link to the ModBot PM screen. That would be great !

Like this: Bad Rats -- MB-914B218EEBDB7FAA - Taken by White Wolf
Or a direct search like so: Bad Rats -- MB-914B218EEBDB7FAA - Taken by White Wolf

For info, I think we have managed to achieve this.

Right now:
- game names are clickable and linked to their Steam store page

- Modbot codes are left-clickable and the private message is auto-filled (but not the title)

It works for games not taken (of course):

but the relevant features are also available for games owned:

and games already taken:

It also works for games with special characters such as "&":

You can check whether it works here and there. I have noticed a fail for "No Time To Explain", which is linked to http://store.steampowered.com/app/227280/ but I think it is because the game given away is actually No Time To Explain Remastered. So this is all reasonable: we cannot ask that a script guesses that the name of the game is mistaken and should be the name of another game.

I'll ask about it, but it might depend on rights issues.

I did just Tweet this "If anyone was wondering the new JRPG PC port is based on a PS3 version, but there are other versions out there." https://twitter.com/Ghostlight_Ross/status/836585508830597121

Can't you just say what game you have signed? :D

And miss out on this fabulous opportunity to tease people :) (Actually I'd love to but we're waiting on approval for the text of the announcement)

Edit.

Anything actually worth anything out of that Dollar Ultra Bundle on bundlestars?

Thinking of grabbing the chaos 1$ tier for tricky towers.

Hollow Knight's map system is ridiculous. You HAVE to meet the NPC that gives you a map of the area before you can properly register any uncharted areas from his map that you've found.
Not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped I'm sad to say :/

Hmm, so its not Enchanted Arms (if versions)
