Basically yes, you get gmg store credit.

It sound better in your head than it is in reality, there are various catches here.
Also, no money, store credit for GMG, which is vastly overpriced if you're from Europe.

Don't say you don't like it :V Besides not EVERYONE has those games and I sure as hell not gonna waste 10 GB for Grid 2 lol.

COME ON INDIE GAME STAND WHERE'S MY CHAMELEON RGB STEAM CODE?

 

[wetflame]

Yeah. Link your Steam profile, they post up achievements and if you get them within the allotted timeframe then you get GMG credit.

It's an evil plot to make us play games, and it's working too well.

on the side note, I almost run out of space for installing new games, what to do, what to do

 

[Knurek]

Uninstall Rage, Fear, Max Payne 3 and BioInf, that's like 100 GB more for RPGMaker games.
Also, HDDs are generally cheap, and your mobo should have some SATA slot free.

 

[Dice]

With all the IFD Playfire Rewards going on right now, I could make $3 just booting games, but the work of booting 30 games doesn't seem worth $3. This thing really only works as a bonus to your natural game playing, which I guess is how it should be.

I know something that may work, but exploitation of good things is bad, so I won't say it.

I wonder how badly games would run of external HD via usb2, I have one almost empty. Would they even run? (><)

Indies? Shouldn't be a problem.
I wouldn't necessarily try to run anything UE3 based though, unless you want constant stutter.

 

[toddhunter]

Brilliant, just ran into a game-breaking bug in Tomb Raider it seems like.

Maybe it will work when I open it magically next time but basically I have to jump across this gap after using the rope arrow on some deer to turn a mechanism, and Lara just refuses to use the climbing axe thing to latch onto the climbing surface she is supposed to. Reloading checkpoints, going to other campsites and back etc doesn't work. I can see people doing it in guides on the internet, nobody else seems to have encountered the bug.

This is where modern gaming comes in handy. In the original Tomb Raiders you would be wondering, am I in the right spot? Is my timing out? Is there a switch somewhere or another path? Do I just need to practice the jump more? Should I restart the stage so I can use a save just before this?

 

[Arthea]

Indies are not a real problem here, though
I probably just have force myself to uninstall some games, it's not the end of the world, after all.

Just caught up on the E3 announcements and see a effin new Starfox was announced. But what happened to "Gamers"?

The thread here seems to have 2 pages, in other communities it also is kinda ignored. If other Games somehow are rumoured to be announced we have like 10 or more pages threads.
Makes me kinda sad...

There was a CSGO skin that got a DMCA notice.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/CSGO/announcements/detail/1751086783896069815

• Both contributors have received Steam Community bans. They receive no proceeds from either item, and both items have been removed from the game.
• For owners of the M4A4 | Howl and Howling Dawn sticker, those items have been replaced by an alternative designed by the CS:GO team. These items will never be produced again, and have been assigned the ‘Contraband’ rarity.
• All other in-game items that involve at least one of the contributors in their revenue share have been discontinued.
• The Huntsman Case and Community Sticker Capsule have been revised to replace the copied and discontinued items.
• Moving forward, we will no longer work with the contributors and we will not ship any existing Workshop submission that credits their involvement.

Probably should've seen that coming and got in early

cause there was nothing other than an "announcement". they didnt even show the super early prototype to the public

I noticed I own Ichi on Desura, but I don't think I got it from any of the bundles listed on http://indiegamebundle.wikia.com/wiki/Ichi.

Any ideas? It is actually a reasonable little puzzle game.

Sure. i know that. But even then when we have some rumpurs about Game announcements without any info or screens, we would still have like 10 pages threads full of speculation. And with Starfox we even have some japanese JAV mosaic gameplay, but still nothing.

I think it was in some Royale bundle I skipped and probably in more bundles too.

edited: just checked:
Indie Underdog Pack 2
The Graduation Bundle
Indie Gala Mobile 2
Green Light Bundle

I think I haven't bought any of them.

That's the old site. Due to continual server issues, some of the regular contributors launched IGBWiki.com. Ichi's page can be found here.

Went by install size, not by quality.

Will get around to playing FEAR sometime, promise

Enough of indies should still work...
Besides, some of them are on the larger side, like, 1-2 GB. Worth the try...

Either way, no steam key yet but it should be on the way.

Dev posted here earlier key will be sent soon if not already. Just give it a day or so.

I wonder how they will implement custom levels for Steam version. Workshop support or no change vs DRM free version?

How many of you guys are double dipping on PC?

Definitely double dipping. Half the time I was playing the PS3 version all I could think about was how good it would look on PC.

 

[JaseC]

I'm single-dipping. Using my expertly-honed reasoning abilities, I deduced that since every previous mainline GTA game has hit the PC, with the exception of London '69, it is highly likely that there'll be a PC version.

Edit: Oh, wait, '69 did release on the PC. I must have confused it with something else.

Chinatown Wars didn't release for PC, unfortunately. That and... Advance, I think? Not much point in that one though.

I'm single-dipping as well. Although I would have broken down and bought it for 360 soon-ish if we hadn't had an announcement. >_>

I think out of all Rockstar North games, only Walker wasn't released on PC.

No way they're making money off the money it took to sort out legalities in royalties, put together new art assets, implement all the changes in the backend, and have those assets instantly not have a tail in selling because they don't drop anymore. Whatever money they make in transactions from people selling off their own skins is chump change. If anything, people who had the skin are the ones that lucked out from being able to cash in.

First dip here, mostly because I have no choice, the only last gen console I own is a Wii.

Yeah, but I wouldn't classify the mobile/handheld entries as mainline.

I was expecting Chuck Norris' mug for a moment there.

I'm not sure I'll buy GTA5 at all, maybe when it's $5 game and if it runs flawlessly. Not in my plans to play it, but I might change my mind at some point.

I'm not sure if I'll pre-order if there are no pre-order goodies. I like what I've played of the game on the PS3, but I can't say that the not-so-secret PC port has been high on my list of anticipated releases.

Good point but I doubt changing the skin was much effort.

The concept of making money from all of this is what I find funny. Sure it may not be a lot but it highlights the priorities of Valve. Can't blame them though.

"You can earn up to 14.30" Not bad. I like Steamlessness but how reliable is it? Am I eventually going to get screwed out of some rewards if I keep trusting it?

It's impossible for GMG to know that you're using the site, plus all it does is take the data GMG provides and crunch the numbers for you. It's not really comparable to, say, unlocking achievements with SAM.

Yeah, all that Steamlessness site does is take the list of rewards from GMG and then check your profile to see if a) you own the game and b) if you've played it/got the achievement. As long as they update the rewards from GMG correctly then it'll be accurate.

 

[Sub Zero]

So I guess GTA V won't be going up for preorder anytime soon and Rockstars's announcement was specific to the retail versions. Seems to be the case with all upcoming 2K games, none is available for preorder

 

[spindoctor]

FWIW, I did sell the PS3 copy immediately after finishing it because I knew a PC version was coming. I just didn't expect it would be over a year later.

This was added to Playdead's sub a few weeks ago but was removed just an hour ago. It's all but assuredly Inside.

Looks like you can get another key if you like and share a game and email them that you want a key

Welp since the summer sale starts the 19th and goes through the 30th, I decided to craft my badges and collect some Summer cards to put up on the market place. Here's hoping my 300+ summer cards sale at a highly inflated price (will reduce if they don't of course).

 

[Atraveller]

Man idling is hard work.

 

[Arthea]

Man idling is hard work.

They should just add money to your wallet for cards when you buy a game, am I right? (><)

And also from redeeming steam keys. Would be easier than idle for cards

I'm proud of you, guys!

your laziness and entitleness extends no boundaries of time and space!
