I don't mind that. Problem is they have these dumbass rules where we must have +rep in certain websites only or "don't use the keys to trade games!!!". WUT??



3 I've met just now are US citizen according to their steam profile.
I can't.....

I can pretend that your paypal is mine and tell you who and when to send the $. I have alot of rep.

Meant to set this up a couple weeks ago but since I've been living in a hospital for the past month this seemed like a low priority. Still I wanted to get this out before tomorrow's festivities! Some of these keys are a little old so I hope they're all still valid.

Wbacon at Capcom just alerted me to this post, includes a gameplay video at uncapped frame rates.

Allow me to set the record straight -- while Dead Rising 3 is optimized to run at 30 frames per second for gameplay reasons, you can expect it to still run fine uncapped under most conditions provided you have a capable enough hardware. We can’t guarantee that there won’t be issues, and obviously depending on your rig you may see different results. Rest assured the beefier your gaming machine, the smoother your zombie killing experience will be. :)

@Stump, any chance we'll see modbot highlighting which bundles the giveaway games are from? ^^ would help I think XD

EDIT: - it would help me from future embarrassing situations like above! getting a game I already have :p but thankfully, as luck would have it, I got the used key ^^

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.

Good luck!

ModBot doesn't (and can't) know, but I'd be happy to manually do it for $25 a bundle if it makes your life easier ;)


Just don't check it.

Curse you Sayonara Ronin. Y u no use raffle?!

Because they're just bundle games. It's also why I don't have a tag despite having given out what has to be close to 1,500 keys. :p

Edit: I forgot to mention earlier that I combed through Steam's F2P list and ascertained that, at this point, only La Tale and Reversion use the new free sub system mentioned earlier (games are considered owned by just installing them).
 

I just remember in the past when IG started, you could buy the normal bundle during Happy Hour and you get one extra giftable copy.

Now it seems you can buy the bundle, but need to buy another gift and check the gift-box or something like that. Never understood what they meant by that?
It means:
"Buy 1 bundle, pay 1$ more for another gift" or what?

It's always been this way, as far as I can remember. For Indie Gala's system to generate gift links you need to buy a bundle as a gift; buying the bundle for yourself again literally does nothing.

Buy a BTA in the first week,
in the happy hour time buy a 5 pack you got 20 copies.so the price for host is less than $2.

But you get two gifts during happy hour if you buy it as a gift during that time?
 
I was playing some Spec Ops: The Line the other day (good game, big fan of the soundtrack - both the licensed music and the original score) and I was reminded of one of my gaming pet peeves - games that detect a controller and then force controller input or controller button prompts. I have a wired 360 controller and it stays plugged in all the time, well, except for when I want to play one of these goofy games (I'm looking at you, Spec Ops/Crysis/Metro 2033) that think I must want 360 controller prompts since I have a controller plugged in. Wrong! The best way to handle button prompts is to have them switch on the fly based on whatever input method the player is actually using. Super convenient, no configuration necessary. I haven't ran into this problem in any recent games that I can think of, but then I haven't played a whole lot of recent games. Maybe devs have finally figured it out.
 
News? About?
Sale starts in 13 hours.

Sorry, I'm new to this. I was just told that Steam do it unannounced, even down to the hour they start.

So I take it people are confident they'll start in 13 hours, therefore am I to believe they're often leaked and these leaks are mostly right?

I think it is buy 1 get 3 or 2 for you, read FAQ.
got 1 or 2 copies from host is still the best way.

from FAQ
If you purchased the HIGH TIER* bundle during the 1st week, during an Happy Hour you'll be able to purchase 1 gift and receive 1 + 3 gifts.
If you purchased the HIGH TIER* bundle after the 1st week, you'd receive 1+2 HIGH TIER* gifts. If you didn't purchase yet the HIGH TIER* bundle, you'd get 1+1 HIGH TIER* gifts.

Leaks are rare. Late last year there was the memo send to publishers, which mentioned the Autumn and Winter Sale start dates, that an indie dev posted on Reddit, while this year there was Paysafecard's ad. That said, it's easy to see the start date when it draws near as deals end earlier than they should (e.g. this week's "Weekly" Deals all end on the 19th rather than the 23rd).

the sooner people realise the summer (and winter) sales are just like any other weekend or midweek sale, just with dozens of games instead of 2, the less disapointed they will be

its not some super amazing once in a lifetime ocasion, its just the same old discounts we always get, with the discount getting shittier the newer the games are

also, at least going by the last few sales, 66% seems to be the new 75% so keep that in mind
