We reckon our bundle page would look better if we added one more to fill that space - what do you think? pic.twitter.com/lGTIXDsKuL

Since I would feel bad if I didn't give away Inescapable, here are some games.

At the same time, I think a proper PR structure would destroy a lot of what makes Valve unique.

Suddenly all of their community interactions, promotions, and public decisions would be spearheaded by PR. They would be just like every other company, with their "games you'll actually play" promotions, "we'll tell you if we ever announce Half-Life 3" announcements, and a distinct lack of both crowbars and Gabe Newell in Kickstarter videos.

No one said they should go full on with PR. The fact is Valve aren't good with communicating with their customers. Not even close. They think that working behind the scenes instead of saying anything whenever an issue comes up is the way to go. It isn't. It riles their fans up and gives wrong impressions.

I think I saw this mentioned in the thread, but is it true that I can expect TF2 keys to drop in price during the sale? Would it be advisable then to stock up on a bunch, for future trading on TF2outpost?

the who wants to be a millionaire pack is weird. It doesnt have the videogame DLC, but its on gamersgate also 80% off

it also doesnt have a few that are on Steam, but those arent even on gamersgate (Junior, Millenium, Science Fiction DLCs)

But it DOES have the Star Trek and the South Park DLCs, which are more expensive than the rest, and are NOT on steam (anymore? I know the star trek one was during the xmas sale, its not anymore)



yes I bought it and it does have the SP dlc. its all seperate keys too. just waiting for GGs stupid "your keys will be available in 10 minutes" bullshit. WTF is that about?

Awesome, cheers for the heads up. Just bought this with my bluecoins.

I was so tempted to pick Farm for your Life, right now

It’s a strange Time Management Game. The light-hearted style of a casual game collides with elements, which are usually only seen in horror genres. Discover the contrast, which takes both genres for a wild ride.

then they had to add zombies... (._.)

I'll wait for those Harvest Moon/Rune Factory indies to be released instead.

It's just you.
Also, is it me or are they changing the look of the page slightly?
Edit: Huh, now it's back to classic look.
You can't fool me, Valve, I saw the sleeker, new look!

Hahaha. You should see resident evil 4's listing. No caps lol.

The worst thing about that is the name was changed. Like, somebody actually had a conscious thought along the lines of, "You know what this needs? No capital letters."

Bought solely for Cognition Ep. 2 so my OCD will stop screaming. ^_^
I'm sure I own at least Toki Tori and Hoard, so they'll be given away later.

Not being able to acess the bundle sites has helped me ignore stuff I won't even play. Last ones I got were the loco cycle indie gala and RPG Maker.

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.

I firmly believe that Enhanced Steam's popularity to-date has been the direct result of community involvement. I gather ideas from the community, I let people know what I'm working on (and why), and I like to think that I'm pretty responsive when people have questions or issues about the software.

Valve needs someone like that, that has the inside information on what's going on, to be able to communicate and disseminate that information to their customers. So when something like Heartbleed happens, that person can stand up and say "Hey guys, we're working on rolling out a fix for that as soon as possible." Or when Steam goes down they can make an announcement like "Just a heads up, we had a router crash in one of our upstream providers, and it should be back online in a couple of minutes."

Instead we get silence and have to assume the worse. With Heartbleed, DAYS went by where people were still asking "Is it safe to log into Steam yet?". If I recall correctly, Steam's servers were all updated within 8 or so hours of exploit being publicized. Having an announcement made in an official capacity after it was fixed would have ultimately resulted in an increase in customer trust, rather than the opposite.

dave is ok

aztek is ok
Valve refuse to hire anyone who isn't insanely overqualified for menial tasks like customer service and PR. I don't understand it either

A couple of devs also renamed their games to "Valve please change the password already!"
