"We need a well-known American to voice Raiden for the western version of the game... how about popular actor Matthew Broderick?" sounds like a decision befitting of Konami.

It was ever popular voice actor Quinton Flynn, who's voice Raiden since MGS2, who played Raiden in Rising.
If he was channeling vibes for Rising though, who knows?
How pissed off will fans be if Raiden retains his VA but Snake was replaced?

I pressed the Play button, then canceled the install window. Refreshed the page and it says that I own the game. But it's not listed in my library

just that install instance... don't delete the directory it leaves behind - it could contain your saves (and it won't save much space anyway)

He was in other stuff, too. Like the trailers for Ferris Bueller.
The save files are stored in different folder than the game folder. Use GameSave Manager to save your save files if you are unsure where to look
Well its a F2P Title. You always own them but when not installed they don't show up in your library. Was the same for me with Warframe after I deinstalled it.
Yeah, I'm guessing that's some sort of bug/oversight related to how Steam was previously set to handle free content.
Thanks guys!
Helpful as always.
This GSM thing is amazing seriously thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Valve recently introduced a new sub type that sees free content tied to your account in much the same manner as it would have if you'd bought it, which is why your actual game count goes up upon initialising installation. I presume newer releases disappearing upon being uninstallated is simply a bug/oversight related to how Steam previously handled free content (save for that added using the free license system, e.g. Star Swarm).

Oh, didn't know about this. But now that you mention it i still see Planetside 2 in my library even though i removed it a couple of days ago.
This is an amazing giveaway. Thanks for doing it!

My Tomb Raider I saves are in the game folder
yeah, usually windows games go to C:\users\username\appdata\local etc... but some decide to put themselves in the base folder. GSM will sort it out, either way.
That'd be because you own DLC for it. Valve implemented this change about a year ago, however the games still don't "count".

Most games have in different folder. There are some exceptions

Just entered, really cool giveaway!
:/ You wouldn't happen to have the name of the scammer would you? Or at least a link to the fiasco?
I think Valve is too preoccupied with getting publishers and developers invested in the client.

Sounds like they need to stop taking advice from Avi Arad."We need a well-known American to voice Raiden for the western version of the game... how about popular actor Matthew Broderick?" sounds like a decision befitting of Konami.
Oh how life would be so much easier.

That would require developers to actually pay attention to where they put their saves and their size. Right now saves can land up all over the place. My documents, the Steam game folder, the Windows game folder, somewhere in %appdata%, somewhere in Program Files and probably a few more I'm missing. Devs would probably whine about mandatory Steam cloud integration.
Sadly, I am not in the US. But great giveaway. Very generous of you.

It'd be trivial, really. Steam Cloud is literally just telling Steam what files to back up and where they're located -- this is information a programmer could provide in a matter of minutes.
Games that are using Unity as game engine must be better with save files. There are none. They are stored in the registry for some reason. I don't think Steam Cloud can sync those
Putting information on where the save files are stored isn't difficult. Like JaseC said, it's just matter of minutes. Why would they whine. This is just pure laziness
Btw. Where the heck is the save file for Mechanic Escape stored? There is no information anywhere in the world wide web

listen to the mad man
During the sale someone in here complained that Chime doesn't go on sale any more. Well, it's in an indie bundle (and has been for days, escaping my notice). IndieRoyale, 4.50 with a bunch of other games
Is that a uplay version i have never heard of? Doesn't say anything about steam.

Well, naturally there'd be an option to forgo Steam Cloud for use in cases where a game has no actual files to back up (e.g. Indie Game: The Movie wouldn't exactly benefit from Steam Cloud support).
You buy it in the uplay store. It doesn't have any uplay drm, just steamworks

downloading now, i'll let you know. (otherwise, if using windows try taskmgr disk performance tab to see where it writes. or download filemon/regmon and filter by mechanic escape's exe
It's the Steam version. For obvious reasons, Ubi doesn't like to advertise the fact that it sells Steam keys.
As someone who just transferred a ton of saves from an old computer to a new one, yes please. Such a pain to find all the saves. Some games even spread themselves out across all of the folders you mentioned, putting random bits everywhere.
Amusingly enough, though, IGTM actually does create a save folder in AppData. I deleted it yesterday.
Spares:
Haha, curiouser and curiouser.

Heck, I've won once out of maybe 30 entries now. Maybe they reduced the win rate over the past week. In any case, no game cash for me in over a week now.
Correct, assuming you meant "Weapon case key".

Everything is right except CS:GO = Case key, not the actual weapon case.
