With my browsing - i'd lay waste to mount doom quicker than you can say frodo destroy the ring

It's funny you put it that way, because that's exactly how I felt when arriving at this decision.

I honestly feel like those same 20 hours would be better spent doing things with the people that are important in my life. And if not that, I still feel those same 20 hours could be better spent further developing the Chrome version of Enhanced Steam.

I'm sure your not alone amongst FF add-on developers and a rather quick mozilla backtrack wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Shit I should try this as well. That port is sounding like straight trash.

They did say it was a, "one-time customer service gesture" just FYI. So I'd suggest only cashing that in if it matters to you that much. I know they've had a "only one support refund ever" thing, I wouldn't be surprised if this counts towards that.

You should be able to sell it for more than 30$.


I'm fairly tempted myself.

That would be tight. Thank god it didn't get any of the new region restriction stuff retroactively applied to it, so I've got a cheap, region-free, pre-order copy that I'm sure somebody will want.

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.
Tons of hate on my decision to drop support for Firefox, I guess it can't really be helped. People sure do love their browsers of choice.

from the Steam group said:
After the recent profile exploit, there's no way I'm installing standalone and giving Steam a reason to ban my account for unauthorized alteration of program function. And if you're unwilling to follow additional certification steps meant to stem the tide of malware addons, I'm not sure I trust ES anymore. Enjoy your resource hog browser with baked in ad tracking and an invasive privacy policy (which will likely duplicate FF's plugin policy in a few months like they do everything else), but this is the end of my usage of ES.

Meanwhile, I'll just keep working on doing what I'm doing I suppose.

That's some vitriol right there. What'd you do, run over his dog?

Damn, that sounds like the person who wrote that is doing you a favour because they use ES.

You're providing a service that you believe in and aren't charging for it. If something no longer becomes feasible for you, it's no longer feasible. Not much you can do about other people's feelings in that matter.

But out of curiosity, would you be adverse to someone taking over functionality for Firefox? Asking genuinely, not fishing or implying that I would step up, because: Ihavenoideawhatimdoing.jpg

That's really crazy. People get really defensive over their browsers, huh?

Really sounds like ES ran over their dog and then desecrated it's corpse. Well as long as this guy isn't crazy/stalker just one less idiot using your amazing service.

I just read through the comments and wow, talk about overreacting. I use ES on Firefox as well and am sad to see it go, but some of these people act like you just punched them in the face.

I got quite a kick out of this when it was posted on SteamGifts actually:

My thoughts exactly, spending all of the extra time and energy for 7% of ES users just isn't feasible for me right now.

I would totally be okay with someone forking the project and continuing to provide updates ported from the Chrome code. In fact, it's released under GPL so anyone could do it assuming they give proper attribution and also release their code open source. I also like to think I'm pretty cool about helping people so if anyone wants to take this on I'd even be happy to help "show someone the ropes" as it were. I just really can't go back to jumping through Mozilla's hoops.

Which I've really found odd. I've always had 2 or 3 browsers installed for daily use and ping pong through each depending on the suitability from site to site. Plus there's always peaks and troughs in performance between the main browsers that one is never the defacto 'best' browser for ever and ever anyway.

There's a GTA V giveaway that's going on to support Idle Master?

My quote was from here.

Ok this was brutal xD

I'm sure you'll be able to limit the game to 30fps, mod in black bars, a grey/brown filter, brutal post-processing and motion blur.
And set a task scheduler in Windows to kill the game after 5 hours.

yeah i mean the enhanced steam thing is a shame but makes sense from the perspective of jshackles slaving away fixing valve's problems, no need for him to fix mozilla's too

it sucks, but oh well

i'll try chrome again i guess since my main complaint about it was this weird youtube bug

but yea enhanced steam is a "killer app" for browsers i think, so i'll def miss the updates

Yeah that's how I am too. I always have Chrome and Firefox open at all times and bounce between them. Part of that is because I'm a web developer and have to test stuff in both browsers anyway. I always have certain sites open in Firefox and others in Chrome, depending on which work better.

I think we can all agree that the better, easier solution would be for Valve go ahead and hire me so that I can fix stuff with Steam without having to rely on pesky browser extensions ;)

Destiny pre orders for PC have been showing up recently :
http://imgur.com/a/62s4Z

Maybe something is brewing. I think it's too late to port the game on PC but neither Activision nor Bungie were against it so anything could happen.

It might actually happen. Wonder how it will go down with the PC crowd and the late release. Considering the game is sitting at 30 bucks new at a lot of places. It's going to be funny to see them trying to get 60 out of people. I would launch at 50 USD and offer at least one of the DLCs as a preorder bonus or something.

I doubt it's legit, those shady sites want your money just early as possible.

It never gets released? Well then they don't have to ever deliver the game and chances are someone will forgot they even preordered it. :p

Tbh I'd rather stop using Enhanced Steam than start using Chrome too but I'm not averse to giving the standalone app a go when the time comes. And who knows, maybe Spartan will come to the rescue somehow, haven't heard anything new about its add-on support though.

Ok this was brutal xD

Order is such a weird game visually, there are tons of impressive details in the environments and yes, sometimes it looks like a film, but the next second you realize how limited everything is and that it could look much better without all those filters. Or if they at least didn't go totally overboard with them. I get the praise to a certain extent but I'd rather not have other games look like that.

Yeah but those filter are there to hide things. But they really did impressive things with PS4 hardware that is something i can't really complain about.

Speaking of GTA, while the PS3 version had a.... suboptimal framerate and the IQ was very problematic even then it was evident how much work Rockstar put into building the world, there are very few repeated assets, lots of unique places (I didn't even visit that large mansion in one of the screenshots) and the animations are top-notch, attention to detail everywhere. I was obviously joking about modding it to look like The Order but I'm actually not so sure that they're very far apart in certain aspects.
