How much is the game? Can't find it on my mobile.
As long as Transistor wins, I'm happy.

Crap. I bought Mighty No. 9 on Nuveem last year back in like September when it was originally going to come out. I just checked and got a Steam code and now when I try to redeem it, it says its for the wrong country.
Try vpn?

They added a Brazil sub, so all Mighty No.9 Nuuvem codes are locked to Brazil now,
If you bought it before they announced that the key was region-locked ask for a refund.

Terrible idea. Why risk to lose your account for an average game. Just ask for a refund.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, do I have to call and talk to someone or can a refund be done online?
I'm at work and have a giant erection! Help me what to do??? 👀
It's not really much of a risk. While technically against TOS, nobody was ever banned for using a VPN to activate a steam key. Furthermore, "losing" a account is impossible.

Man, Rocket League just keeps delivering.
My favorite multiplayer game since Goldeneye and Unreal Tournament.

Well, the wording back then was "exclusively on PS4 in 2016". Now that the game isn't a 2016 title anymore... I guess it was to be expected anyway. I just hope it's happening :")
The game is 60fps. No worries on that.

I love FEAR1, but I couldn't stomach more than an hour of FEAR2.
The main thing that stuck out to me is the shotgun. In FEAR1, it's one of the greatest FPS guns of all time. In FEAR2? It's nowhere near as good.
I never got over that massive feeling of disappointment.
Results of my bad planning

I was enjoying the game until this update, now everybody playing is pro or veteran, and I suck.
It's Tuesday so it's about time we have this week's G2A fraud news from Eurogamer:

Yea im not really getting the article and thread on here. They seem to have an issue with people selling keys on the G2A marketplace, not G2A themselves. Why would a dev/pub get compensated from a reselling of a key? As for the fraud stuff. Why not just revoke the said keys then? Is there something I am missing?
This
But I don't understand why it's impossible to know which keys are leaked or not. Aren't keys tied to each transactions? Don't they log that?
On Steam:
I am not sure how the system behind Steam works. Do they have a web page where you put a single key to revoke it, or can you paste a list of potential stolen keys and revoke them? If former then I would understand why it would take time to revoke the keys
I guess the point is that G2A kind of encourages this type of business. No regular key store has issues one hundredth of the scale G2A has but G2A has two answers to this: customers should pay us extra money for protection against scamming that happens in their service daily and for developers/publishers: join us, because that will surely fix everything.
Without G2A there wouldn't be nearly as much fraudulent purchases from developers because moving those keys on would be so much more difficult. Revoking only really hurts the end customer, the developer will still pay the huge chargeback bill and end up losing both money AND customers. Meanwhile G2A collects money from both sellers and buyers when all this is happening in their service.

It's steam, they probably have to do it one by one and confirm on their mobile authenticator.

Why did everyone stop activating gifts from bearland.ru then?
Key revocation is something Valve does itself. There's no automated system in place as far as the SPD frontend is concerned.
He means key activation, not gift activation.

This is the part I don't get at all. You have to know which key was given in which transaction. If that transaction is charged back, you know exactly which key to revoke. I believe Steam even allows custom messages when a key is being revoked so you could point out that it was purchased from an unauthorized source and that they should request a refund from where they bought it. Steam also allows targeted delivery of coupons so give the affected customers a 33% off coupon or something and try to get them to buy it legit.
Obviously this isn't how tinyBuild sell their games. Keys are sent to buyers, but not tied to the transactions.
If I built an online shop that sell Steam games I would log where the keys are sent to. For a publisher like tinyBuild, they made a huge mistake if they don't log where the keys are sent
I guess Valve doesn't want hoaxers to easily revoke keys if they do it themselves

Nobody makes a mistake like that. Something is missing from this story.

Then I don't understand why it's not easy for tinyBuild to revoke all stolen keys. They have logs of all chargeback transactions, meaning they do know which keys are stolen.
Is it compiling a list of stolen keys that's not easy? Because that's stupid too. With computers everything is easy to do (everything that's data related)

Deadlight DC released, not even 1% off as loyalty discount (the 15% off is for everyone).
I really don't understand this. I mean, Deadlight is not a so good game you would buy again for full price, I wonder what the target audience is for this.
Also, why the DC costs more than what Deadlight used to cost at launch?

You're wrong. F.E.A.R. 2 > F.E.A.R. 1. That's a fact. Your internet license is revoked. Bye

Gross.
I'm firmly in the camp that says fear 2 isn't very good. I had more fun with fear 3.
spindoctor

That's why I'm saying there's some part of this story that we're not being told.
You've got to be kidding me. FEAR 2 was rubbish compared to the first one and it basically killed the series. Until they exhumed it with FEAR 3 only to put it in an even deeper grave than before.

1 had better atmosphere. But I think that gameplay has improved in 2. I played them last year back to back for the first time. I don't get the hate for 2. They are very similar and I think 2 is a better game.
Ahh and also @jawmuncher/spindoctor. Your internet licenses are revoked too. No more Dino Crisis threads on NeoGAF I guess
F.E.A.R. 2 reigns supreme.Sorry I left out important words. Activating a key is not the same as purchasing while in VPN.
I think saying they don't care due to not losing money is... probably inaccurate. Like with the reviews system (and greenlight, and curators), they no doubt do care, since anything that makes life worse for developers reflects poorly on Steam and the service it provides. It's more likely that, as with reviews (and greenlight, and curators), the will to fix the problem isn't really there now... Essentially, they need to care more in order to fix it.

Doesn't the sale start on the 23rd at 10? That's roughly 55 hours from now.
