Will the Ninty Humble Bundle his 100k sales? It's at 58k with 7 days to go. I'm guessing not, due to the smaller target audience.



80% off too.

I doubt it.
I almost bought the lowest tier for Mighty Switch Force and then I found out it was coming to PC/Steam and held off. 3DS is one of the worst pieces of HW I have ever gamed on in my life.

If anyone is interested in AC:Rogue and doesn't mind it not being on Steam, I believe Amazon is selling the uPlay DD version for $12.50 today.

How's AC: Unity these days?

Guess next season's Football Manager is going to be called Soccer Manager worldwide now. Fantastic stuff.

So that's why Blatter stepped down.

 

[Vibranium]

I hope Natsume brings older Harvest Moon games to PC/Steam, they would make a lot of money.

[TheSeks]

My hype for Fallout4 is as null as can be. Didn't like 3 and I haven't liked any Bethesda rpg game yet. Didn't play new Vegas but I've already given up.

So I'm not the only one that didn't like Oblivion with Guns 3.

Still waiting on that Fallout 3... *Skeleton.gif*

 

[Shantom]

Wut? Source?


I'm barfing at the tought.

He's referencing the US's great work in bringing down Blatter and Fifa.

 

[ashecitism]

hmm

hmmm

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

What the hell, Steam forgot to drop mystery cards on like 20% of the badges I have crafted.

 

[JaseC]

How's AC: Unity these days?

It's only crashed on me once in my 100+ hours with it. There are still minor bugs, as you'd expect, but nothing I'd consider a potential deal-breaker. Performance, though... well, I had to move from two 2GB 670s to a 4GB 980 in order for the game to be playable regardless of texture quality, so if you don't have at least 3GB VRAM then I'd hold off.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

hmm

Just saw that.

Will need to wait for the pages to go up with what it's about, but potentially great news!

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

I should probably finish New Vegas.

 

[spindoctor]

How's AC: Unity these days?

I'm curious about this too. I asked friends who have played it and they say that they never really had any problems with it. And then you look at the mountains of evidence of how messed up the game was at launch.

I don't know what to believe...

 

[Lunaniem]

Mensa Academy and American Mensa Academy seems to have both been taken down from Steam.

 

[Se7enSword]

Wut? Source?


I'm barfing at the tought.

Probably a joke at how America got Blatter to step down.

 

[r3n4ud]

I was going to pick up AC 1 and 2, but of course, they're not on sale. Nice job Ubi.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

hmm

It would be great if this meant that Valve was finally getting around to improving their customer support.

Spoiler

Finally the steam news thread will have a new post, it's only been a little under a month since the last one.

What the hell, Steam forgot to drop mystery cards on like 20% of the badges I have crafted.

Double check the number of badges you've crafted with the cards in your inventory screen. Sometimes the cards won't be displayed at first. It's happened a few times for some of us.

You can still get keys from GMG. Last I checked it was only purchasable from Canada.

Me too.

Steam Refunds

Hoooooly shit

You can request a refund for nearly any purchase on Steam—for any reason. Maybe your PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements; maybe you bought a game by mistake; maybe you played the title for an hour and just didn't like it.

It doesn't matter. Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any reason, if the request is made within fourteen days of purchase, and the title has been played for less than two hours. There are more details below, but even if you fall outside of the refund rules we’ve described, you can ask for a refund anyway and we’ll take a look.

You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval. You will receive the refund in Steam Wallet funds or through the same payment method you used to make the purchase. If, for any reason, Steam is unable to issue a refund via your initial payment method, your Steam Wallet will be credited the full amount. (Some payment methods available through Steam in your country may not support refunding a purchase back to the original payment method. Click here for a full list.).

 

[Nabs]

Well, there you go.

I guess this explains why they're exploring offline playtime keeping.

Thx. Still not sure if I'd buy it though. Played through the game already on console, but want it on Steam so I can complete my AC collection on Steam.

 

[electroflame]

Wow, that's a pretty big change for Valve. Ubisoft is probably going to get hit pretty hard by the "less than two hours, I want a refund" thing (especially with how broken their games tend to be at release).

Steam Refunds

Abuse

Refunds are designed to remove the risk from purchasing titles on Steam—not as a way to get free games. If it appears to us that you are abusing refunds, we may stop offering them to you. We do not consider it abuse to request a refund on a title that was purchased just before a sale and then immediately rebuying that title for the sale price.

MEGATON.

 

[chronomac]

So 14 days and 2 hours is the limit.

 

[Benedict]

Wonder if people will try to abuse that for selling cards received during two hours and then demanding refund...

They might lock that down if it happens.

I missed that the first time. That's a really great stance to take, actually.

Will this change the "Wait for the dailies!" rule of Steam sales, I wonder?

 

[jshackles]

Was just about to post the same. I've actually been denied support requests for refunds in this very instance, so this is huge.

Good job Valve, well done.

 

[Se7enSword]

megatonbomb

Yeah, that part is awesome.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

megatonbomb

Okay that's actually pretty awesome.

I wonder if the people that bought The Silent Age prior to it going on sale could get a refund and buy the game at the current sale price.

 

[Hektor]

I just upgraded my CPU + Mainboard a few minutes ago, but surprisingly my old windows installation seems to work perfectly fine. Should i reinstall it regardless, or do you think i can continue with the old one?

Steam Refunds

Thats a really big step into the right direction, thumps up.

 

[yuraya]

Excellent news and right b4 the sale too.

Good guy Valve

 

[YianGaruga]

So buying things and not playing them is factually the best approach now.

Yeeeeees

The price error got corrected, the current price is what I paid day 1.

Windows is very robust, no need if you don't notice strange things happening.

 

[jshackles]

Actually, the biggest breakthrough with the new refund policy is that the refunds are actually being processed back to your initial payment method in most cases. For example:

This completely shatters the previously held belief that Valve doesn't want to actually refund people but keep your money in their ecosystem. This is a huge step forward for them and it's something they should have honestly done years ago.

 

[Wok]

Amazing!

 

[Lain]

Memory's Dogma from Sekai Project
Greenlight + Kickstarter + Site

At least it's not another Sakura game.

Gonna vote no then.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Dark Void gonna get a ton of refunds next time it's discounted.

Woah. That's actually pretty surprising.
