I assume there'll be another Wolfenstein giveaway soon - so you can try your luck again because I sadly had to decline the copy I won.



Lool, where is that from?

Evangelion manga, typical Nippon trashing other countries but praising their own.

It sounds like you haven't played Risen 1 and 2 and, in that case, you should probably let a fellow staffer who actually has do it, as your preview will likely be inferior and less informative than theirs. Key greed doesn't lead to good journalism bro!

No indeed, was a bit interested in the game but so far no one of my colleagues want it. I'll wait for a few days. :)
 
Not necessarily on topic, but here is a spare NA PS4 Destiny beta key

hey dude, are these all gone? just tried to activate and none of them worked, but I can only see 1 person who has taken one :-\

You're trying to activate them at nosgoth.com and not Steam, right?

I still dont unterstand

this is the bundle http://steamdb.info/sub/47976/ ?

what makes you sure that it activates a region free wolfenstein instead of the locked one ?

Because it has none of the region-lock flags I mentioned in my post. If they were present you'd see them in the Additional Info section. Also, you can tell by the depots list that the sub isn't "language-locked" to Russian.

You're talking about Wolf? I finished it on Uber and didn't notice any respawning enemies. You would get waves of enemies after triggering an alarm but no infinite spawns

He wasn't a phisher. Spent 5 minutes doing a background check on his profile before adding him

Just as an aside, I only learned that Bionic Commando Rearmed and remake were region locked earlier this week. Doesn't appear in the store in Southeast Asia. Luckily someone was selling Rearmed for 1 TF2 key so picked it up there.

can they change that later ?

Bethesda could disable cross-region gifting/trading but this wouldn't affected copies that have already been activated. Theoretically, Bethesda could also disallow German IPs from running the included games, however this isn't something that's going to happen as it'd impact those that genuinely received the sub as a gift -- every such past instance of retroactive region-locking was ultimately reversed for this very reason.

So should I buy it to get an uncensored wolfenstein ?

Was there ever an explanation as to why the title was changed? Just seems kind of weird to all of a sudd.....Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!!

There is precedence for region locking on apps, Dead Rising 2: OTR has ProhibitDownloadInCountries flag on the app itself rather than the sub.

The chances of Bethesda doing that are pretty slim though. I'd say just buy it.

No idea how to use modbot so will just post them. Will figure it out someday... Codes for Nosgoth...

PENUDE-369-COWOFA-205
CAJOME-739-GODAPA-025
PACODE-919-GATONE-035

Just holla if you grab one so people,know they gone. Enjoy!

Took CAJOME-739-GODAPA-025. Didn't know you had to redeem it on nosgoth.com but I was surprised that codes left out in the open were untouched after so much time. Thanks!

PDIC is basically the app equivalent of region-locked keys -- you'd just need to use a VPN to initiate the download and then you're home free, to say nothing of the fact that OTR is literally the one and only game that uses the flag (all but assuredly because it's completely ineffective). It's not worth worrying about in the slightest, even if it were to appear for the first time in years.

i can't redeem any of them, not even the one I just won! Trying to redeem on nosgoth.com, what am I doing wrong?!

Yeah, I don't doubt that. Just made me think that maybe it's actually possible to flag the actual app with the usual ones.

If Bethesda really wanted to do something about this they should probably just use LowViolenceInRestrictedCountries. But judging from the multitude of separate Bethesda published low violence apps they surely don't they even know it exists.

That'd be impractical as Bethesda would literally have to patch in the German version of the game, haha. There's very little sense in making international users download ~80GB of data just because Germans have found a way to play the uncensored version (due to Bethesda's own oversight, no less).

you persuaded me. dmax90 is gifting me the game. We will see how it works.

How can I choose to install it to another harddrive ? drive c: is full and I dont want to delete stuff

Add a new library folder via Steam -> Settings -> Downloads and select it when installing.
 

Stumpokapow

listen to the mad man
I tried to give away a copy of some random Desura game but no one will take it and I can't possibly abide an unclaimed game being listed in my my loot PM which I neurotically check every 18 hours. Please drop what you're doing and manually remove the unclaimed gift from my list so I don't have to look at it. Beta

- Send a PM to ModBot with the subject scrap me
- Any game you have offered through ModBot that has not been claimed will be removed from your list and used in a future junk-clearing raffle. You will not get credit for these giveaways.

Can ModBot program himself to output a summary of posts like these with factoids as I could read 'em all day long. Pie charts optional.

Would it really force everyone to download the depots that they don't need, though? I thought it worked like language changing, which at least up until some point actually downloaded the needed language files when you chose the language, not before.
