now it's just a matter of time before we'll have to wait 7 days to actually play the games we buy ... you know - to protect us from "fraud"

I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. Seven days. The world was supposedly created in seven days. Perhaps Gaben intends to recreate this world, our world, PC gaming in his own image. Maybe this is the beginning of the dark times.

Oh, Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries is out (of Early Access?).

I need impressions. Give them to me.

Looks beautiful and fun, reminds me of Trine.

The problem is that you can only craft 1 booster each day.

I mean with Neptunia 1 each day you could earn less by that. I guess i started with like 60-80cent each day and at the end I could only earn like maybe 10 cents.

That's pretty normal, I think. Price depreciate as the demand decreased. I usually out the market after 5-6 days. Well, just enough to subset some dollars from the game price. The price seemed to peak at the 2nd-3rd day before falling.
What I learned from RB1 card selling is that BG and emoties reach several dollars, and it sells.

A friend on FB was talking to me about the game and said that the game is decent but unpolished. It's kinda like a stealth game mixed with Alice Madness Returns. The platforming and stealth are decent but the Melee combat is clunky. I might wait a bit more til I get more opinions before buying.

 

[cicero]

The changes Valve are implementing to their store and service recently have many of the hallmarks of the regulatory accountability safeguards, and checks and balances and whatnot, that many firms go through from an audit/financial point of view when positioning themselves to be sold or floated on the market.

Not saying Valve is necessarily doing that - perhaps they simply realised they're long overdue with getting some of their more esoteric ducks into a more big-business-like row.

Maybe not floated on the market, perhaps it has more to do with regulatory security standards for banks/banking, or side-stepping potential consumer protection law issues.

Is it true that Valve's customer support is shit? A friend of mine got his account phished and had it locked out, but no response on Valve on the matter.

It usually takes them a few days to respond. Sometimes longer.

I don't think Valve will ever go that far.

Is it true that Valve's customer support is shit? A friend of mine got his account phished and had it locked out, but no response on Valve on the matter.

Here are two recent threads about that very subject.

The good news is that Valve is supposedly trying to improve its customer support.

 

[Jeff Stephen]

So perhaps someone can clear this up for me. I recently installed an SSD and want to redirect Steam to my HDD since all my games and save data are located on that disk. Is there a simple way to go about this?

Yeah, I just watched a recent gameplay video (1 month old) and the swings look a bit clunky. Running animation needs some polishing as well. Other than that, game looks promising. Steam sale it is.

 

[BasilZero]

Seems if you buy a gemsack, emoticon or trading cards, you have to wait 1 week to sell/trade it.

Is it the same case for making a card as well or is it just for trading and selling again after purchasing it?

 

[BorntoPlay]

i am worried about this new alliance of Nintendo with DeNA... i dont like the "pay to win" model...

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

So I've had someone I'm friends with on Steam but don't really talk to try talking to me recently. I'd been away when he'd talked to me before, but I was actually available this time, and uh... the conversation took a weird turn.

Edit: goddamnit this is still huge with the quote

[Baron_Calamity]

Wow, Valve is really committed to screwing Steam users over. It's like they implement some new restriction every few months.

So I will no longer be able to buy these and gift them for my kids unless I want to wait a week to gift them a 5 cent card. Thats not going to happen.

 

[Vazra]

Price is too high get him Dead Bits instead.

yes? no? maybe? dunno ... I've been using it since they released technical preview 2 (build 9926) and it runs fine for me ... so ... dunno

Does anyone foresee any Win10 exclusives, like things that run on 10 but not 8 or 7? Because my 7 isn't broke and I'm not keen on fixing it.

only if they use DX12 ... otherwise - doubt it

Hmm. I wonder how game compatibility is for both new and old games. Time to download the preview and test it out.

I haven't had any problems so far ... well, apart from AssCrud ... but that's either on nvidia or ubi (more likely) and they WILL have to fix it before/on release anyway ... so - whatevs

It sounds like you have a Steam installation on your HDD already. Just continue running it from there. You don't need to install it to Program Files.

If not, though, then just move the Steam installation on your SSD to your HDD. There's no benefit to be gained from running the client from your SSD.

 

[derExperte]

It's true, I can't sell the items that I just got from crafting a badge. What the shit.

I don't have SpaceChem yet, but I've heard enough about it that it would probably just sit in my inventory forever untouched, and I'd rather have it go to someone who will use it.

Sent you a pm. You'll take my SpaceChem and you'll like it. End of discussion.

This seems like an oversight... that probably won't be fixed. Similar to how cancelling a pre-order for instant Steam Wallet credit temporarily blocks you from the market because Steam considers it a new payment method.

There will be a price mistake, but the game won't be purchaseable for seven days to combat fraud, giving Konami plenty of time to fix it.

lashman gonna lashman

I see what you did there.

But I thought the other half was him complaining about no one reading his posts
