I have been neglecting my pc due to my new Wii U :(

I would recommend you to try out Monster hunter 3 ultimate if you haven't done so already; I played the original on Wii and clocked over 100 hours - there is still a lot of missions to play - that game is so addicting and rewarding although it takes some dedication to get into it.

Besides Mario kart 8, Mario world, W101, Pikmin 3, Smash and Bayonetta 2 are enough to justify your purchase, hopefully I plan to buy one myself some day in the future.

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.

Are you doing something similar to the appid.txt method of spoofing?

Generally speaking, if this were to catch on, I would feel a lot more secure using a program that does the appid spoofing, as you can always argue that it's Valve's problem if they start handing out bans. You aren't doing anything outside the system, so to speak, you're legitimately running a game (say TF2, since it's free) and it's just reporting a different AppID that you fill into the steam_appid.txt before launching it.

Otherwise, if you're manipulating their API in some way, it could just end up like the Drunken F00l idling fiasco.

This application uses Windows hooks to send a message to the Steam application essentially saying that you're "in-game". It's functionally no different than how SAM works. If that concerns you, you'll probably want to steer clear.

Your newly found generous demeanor does not sync up with the same person who was playing speedrunners with dunder and I the other day... :X

Already? Damn, I didn't expect it to be bundled this soon. Will buy.

If TitS sells well/amazing, we're bound to get more awesome games from the genre (Shin Megami Tensei ones would be lovely).

This. This, this, this.

Everyone needs to buy Trails so we can get more JRPGs on Steam. Mainly SMT.

I really hope the game sold well for the devs, even more so after reading this.

Would you guys pay for a monthly Steam subscription?

If it gave similar things to PS+ like two free games a month?

The EA thread got me thinking. Would be interesting but we would probably end up getting some crappy indie games.
Click to expand...

Only two?

I'll pass on that for more bundles :p

Well this gif spam isn't my fault for once so no blaming it on the Waifus!

I wonder if there will be any "thread is doomed/man that last page was cringeworthy" posts this time or not.

No one, shockingly, took this in the middle of the night last night so maybe one of the daywalker will take a peek.

Yep, that's the gist of it. The program will look on the badge progress page to see if there are any card drops remaining. When all of the cards have dropped for a particular game, the program will automatically move on to the next one.

You are doing mighty good work, greatly appreciated even if most talk is about TitS or sth else. You should know.

PS+ is such a genius move by Sony. Not only are people willingly giving Sony money every month, but now they are tied into the ecosystem.
If Sony ever changes policy, produces a system with a poor value proposition, or stops producing worthwhile games, an individual is less likely to make the switch. If they stop paying for PS+ those games are gone forever.

Almost as in genuine as Valve making people prefer buying games with DRM when they are often available without it at the same time for the same price. Or hiring psychologists to find ways to make their users throw their cash at them, by exploiting psychological behaviors, e.g. summer adventure challenges/cards/foils/hats etc and people loving it.. Or making their users evidently not be interested to buy games outside of their ecosystem (and profit) e.g Desura, non-Steamworks.
I like Steam. It has serious value. But let's not kid ourselves. They basically built a monopoly by incorporating DRM. Almost everyone has to split with Valve, if they want to be successful.
Sony/MS/Nintendo do what is acceptable since the birth of modern consoles: Having complete control over their ecosystem. In fact, they add more value on top with PS+/GWG, CrossBuy. Did they do something shitty with paid MP? Yes, of course. But one should be able to see the difference: One changed a lot for the better, on top of system-wide DRM, while the other added system-wide, monopolistic DRM when it wasn't that before.
