Oh, that was you!
I was wondering when Steam added this feature when I reached my Steam anniversary a few days ago. XD;

my steam is so dead... I don't get what they have against Tuesdays
ExoSoul, you just proven one of those thousands that don't read OP, for reasons only they know.
which knife to forge, obviously

Actually I do, I've just forgotten about it xD
Also dead for me, right in the middle of a download T_T
Aren't you like, too old to play cod online?

I'm too old for COD on console. It's a little different on PC.
Gotcha

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.
As someone who maintains highly available systems for a living (albeit with not nearly the same load as Steam's servers obviously see) it still boggles my mind that their code changes need to take place while their servers are taken offline.
Even for Enhanced Steam's servers (which, admittedly, sometimes go down) it's always been a matter of money and (again, usually) not a technical limitation. Valve has millions of dollars at their disposal, keeping their servers up on Tuesdays should be something trivial for them to accomplish.

I listened to the interview with Gabe Newell that was posted a bit ago, and he kept coming back to the whole "we like to listen to our fans and users because they know what's up" line. Except when it comes to actually fixing things that everyone complains about. Like bot invites. Or Tuesday maintenance. Or showing information about player statistics on a game's app pages. Or warning users about DRM.
I just kept thinking to myself: this is my life right now.

... and I'd REALLY like to know which "fans and users" exactly wanted an almost complete regional lockdown which renders gifting (and I'm not even talking about getting cheap stuff ... it's 2015, it's not that difficult to imagine that people can actually have friends/family abroad) pointless at best ...
oh, and those recent changes to TOS which conveniently go around the EU refund laws - yeah, I'm sure they did it because "fans and users" were asking for it ...
etc. etc. etc. etc.
Volvo - #4theFansAndUsers
and then there's of course the matter of them pretending you (or ES) don't even exist (officially) ... I mean - how stupid do they think people really are ...
The ones that think Gabe is the second coming of Jebus and that Valve can do no wrong?
That's what pisses me off about Valve. They're far from perfect but things stay status-quo.
plot twist: they listen to the fans and users...to learn about and close all our little tricks and loopholes

They're still one of the better DD platforms out there, but it really is surprising how much goodwill they pissed away over the past year and a bit.

Wow. Good thing I did the NeoGAF emoticon raffle when I did.
If only Geoff let polite users call in to personally let Gabe know their thoughts. I would have some stuff to say too. It's why I have a hard time listening to Valve interviews, I want to hear press questions about region locking, market restrictions, any plans to sell Origin games like Uplay, etc.
The keys, gifts, cards, emoticons and gems restrictions are really not the right solution.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I need to get in on these earlier games.

"fraud"
I guess this prevents people from buying up all of the available items and price fixing... but once again this is a bit of a heavy-handed change.

So we are a couple weeks out from Dark Souls 2 SOTFS. Has there been any word yet if there will be some sort of cheap upgrade option for current owners of DS2?

It just isn't officially sold in EU.
I see, thank you. I find it weird they're still comfortable with selling us the dlc...

Heh. I can buy the game but not the DLC.

Card drops don't seem to be affected. I just checked this card I just got and it's letting me list it.
Yep. Just listed a fresh drop.

Anyone know how long Crysis sale lasts?
