Even EA realizes no one wants to use Origin and includes Steam keys with their bundles. Come on Ubisoft.

Ubi using HB for other purpose than EA, they still keep their games on steam to get those mountains of moneys, but they not gonna give steam keys anywhere else, especially humble, which they use to get more people to dl uplay and use it before withdrawing from steam for good.
EA already has very little presence on steam, so they don't that mind giving steam keys for those games that still remain, as it is not many.
 
You're already in post-GAF. Since everyone and everything was banned, the ban didn't stand out.
Hehehe

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself yourself
My God!...What have I done?!
Ok, this was good.

The account I've lost... the friends I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?
Yes...I too feel this flame of revenge...no. This Phantom Pain.

I see she's helping you to flatten the mouse pad that's some real PC game enthusiasm.

I'm pretty sure all the clumps of fur she's gonna leave on the pad when I'm not looking will work wonder to improve the mouse performance!

But eh, she just loves sitting around the mouse. She's a proper cat, you know.

I got the same one, they're pretty nice. Thinner than I'm used to, but comfortable and responsive enough.

I recently picked up 2 of those (home & work). I approve as well.

When I saw the size before buying I was kinda wary of how thin it is. Turns out, it's not much thinner than my previous cheap pad. And not having a sort of rigid pad is great for not having wrist marks like I was on suicide watch.

But anyway, I really can't wait for the mouse now!

Eh? Not for post-Steam games, they don't.

But in any case, yeah it's really bizarre that they don't just do Steam. They're giving you a Uplay CD-key in that case anyway.

Playing other 2D RPGs after Undertale is making me feel guilty whenever i kill a monster :/ (I've started Eternal Senia, I've seen someone talk good about it and it's free)

I've talked well about it, maybe it was me?!

Glad someone in here is finally playing it.

Surely some kind of error.

The wording makes it feel as if the lock was meant for the January-February PC release thread.

Hot bundle guys, join me on uplay: the trendiest social destination for PC gaming. Rank up and unlock cool rewards like hot wallpapers and costumes for all of your favorite Ubisoft games.

Don't get left in the dust: Altair+Conner <3
Haha, fantastic :D

Man, the bundle per se is kinda tempting but Uplay only = auto-cold.
Everybody who goes for the 10$ tier, have fun updating the game MANUALLY FOR EVERY VERSION released. ffs, that was the first and last time I bought an uPlay-only game.

Strata is a nice, relaxing puzzle game. The goal of the game is to complete the pattern by weaving the coloured ribbons correctly.

Whenever you place a ribbon, there will be a tune. It will be a nice and relaxing one when you placed it right, and disharmonious when you made a mistake. Level 1-5 have the same sounds, you only get different ones in the last 2 levels.

The menu can be a bit buggy though. Sometimes, when you want to exit the game or just try another puzzle and go back to the menu, this happens:

I also had a bug where nothing visually seemed wrong, but I couldn't click on anything and had to force quit the game. Well, there is no quit-button, so that is the only way to close it anyway.
The bugs only happened in the menu though, never within the puzzles.

As far as puzzle games go, it's definitely on the easier side, though some of the larger puzzles can be challenging. Recommended for puzzle-fans.

Didn't they fix that? I know Splinter Cell: Blacklist was old-school "manually patch" but they then patched Uplay to do it like Steam/automatically.

For you.
Seems like AMD has stopped people from redeeming the Dirt Rally vouchers on their website after the Newegg fiasco

I'd assume they don't know where the recent surge came from but once they clear out it was from newegg they should let you redeem it just fine...hopefully.

yeah...as far as I've seen all you can do with the NVIDIA RotTR codes is just try to redeem them and then have them notify you when the codes are ready...haven't seen anyone say they've got an actual code yet

the promo started today as far as them sending those redeem codes out so hopefully it's not too long until they are fully redeemable

I dunno, I played the game in... 2014 I think, so I guess they could've improved that by now. Haven't booted up the uPlay client itself in ages.

As promised:
Why have you forsaken me chronomac?
looks like AMD has temporarily stopped people from using those keys anymore
If only Valve Support are this quick.

Funny thing is. I managed to get my support question answered to why Dark Souls II haven't been refunded yet.

They said Dark Souls II has been removed from my account and the refund has been deposited into my steam wallet.

*check library and steam wallet = Dark Souls II and $0.00*

LIES!

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.
So glad to see confirmation other people suffering from selective game purchasing amnesia.

It's essentially the reason I initially created Enhanced Steam.
