No, it isn't. It's on the store that sold them and couldn't afford the cost.
You have basically zero protections when selling keys on ebay. Don't even try to sell there, it's nothing more than a cesspit of lowlife scammers.

Yeah, figured.
valve removed them, or agreed to it, and only in digital online space they have access to what we bought at all, it's totally on valve and there is no way around it as we are talking about legit purchases.
Although I don't know why I even argue with you, obviously you think it's OK, so you are as unticonsumer as valve is, you thought region locking is OK too, no?
Reinstall? REINSTALL?
Did you just get a new computer or something. That's the only acceptable explanation for not having it installed at all times.
Take it to the store that didn't want to pay for it. It's not on Valve.
Let me put it in a way you can understand:
- Scammer buys a game and sells it off to someone else. Does a chargeback. Publisher gets no money, has to revoke keys.
-Store gets game, sells it off on a price mistake. They don't want to pay the full price for the game. Publisher gets no money, has to revoke keys.
How the hell is this any different and how the hell is this on Valve?
The price of this seems messed up. Different prices for the game whether you're buying it by itself, complete, 4/5/6 pack, or in the collector's pack. Ugh.

Same here. I have until the end of the week to decide if I'm going to use it on Dark Souls 3 or not.

the biggest crime is that capcom no longer sells the regular season pass for RER2 because they're fucking jerks
Valve revoked games, they informed people that they didn't paid for that one, what's not the case, not only they removed games, they lied also, I totally have problem with that.
and not only that, but attitude and behavioral patterns in general.
Valve issues a general message. They are not about to write a detailed personal message for each different thing that happens, no.
also
It's happening.
congrats on finally getting AC II!

ty doctor dog,
so you are saying buying a game from a legit store it's the same as buying from a scammer?
yeah, I'm done with this talk
if it was for you, we had no consumer rights whatsoever, every unpaid desura game would have been removed from our accounts, because that's the same as scamming, no?
Do you even understand what are you saying?
stump just should ban you all, for constant OT and be done with it
I don't think you understand at all what you're saying the slightest, and you haven't read my posts apparently. The "legit store" didn't want to pay. That's as good as a chargeback from a scammer, and warrants keys revoked all the same. This is 100% only on the store you bought it from and no one else.

this is a lot of hubbub over a game that seems to have had zero traction with a majority of gamers. Is this a +1 thing or something?

+1 on uplay?

I hate this GIF, besides it being anime, the back half of that cake just disappears into thin air.
That's not how it works, if store doesn't pay you, you sue the store, not punish customers for no reason.
I can't wrap my head around the idea that you actually believe this, that everything is customers fault.
clearly you have never seen me eat cake

wait, this days under custody thing is about a +1 on uplay?
no way, this cant be real. im missing something

Lol, and you continue to not read it at all. I'm saying, once again, that it's 100% on the store. Where i'm saying it's the customer's fault? Holy shit.
It's the store's fault, and you should take it up to them. This is a fact. Done. There's no discussion here.
And lol @"well just sue the store you dummy"
yeah man
that's how it works
Why would you bring this to court and lose even more money?
yes why? when you can ask valve and they'll just remove games as if it's nothing.
Dont you hear? In artheas magical land , publisher can afford to initiate legal proceedings internationally because of a single price mistake where they will lose more money in lawyers than they lost on the game, and they will cut all ties to the Store instead of solving things peacefully between both entities.
Logic!

Sorry, this isn't really the right place to post this but I'd rather deal with you than somewhere else and since it's profitable only for Steam users, I'm posting here rather than the BST thread.
Got a lot of rubbish in TF2, that sums up to a pretty hefty value.
At the moment, everything is valued at roughly $1100 in Steam market, which would give you $935 Steam wallet after fees.
Trade value is roughly $800, meaning that's what traders outside Steam market sell them for.
Even if selling quickly for low on Steam market, I'd suppose you can easily get at least $800 without breaking a sweat.
I'm looking to sell everything for... well... maybe $500 Paypal?
Compared to TF2 keys, that usually go for $1.80 - $1.85(?) at grey market, $500 would give you about $590.
Fair warning though, selling those items could be pretty damn slow.
Haven't really decided 100% to do this and I know it's a lot, but feel free to PM me if you're interested in discussing this.
Maybe I should just sell everything myself and go all JaseC at Steam store.

I said this weeks ago when I took the survey myself. Find it odd that only just now its being picked up. I will say it sounded like the PC version might be behind the console release. Was just the vibe I got from the survey.
Yeah the sale is rather weak. I guess they didn't want to undercut the price due to the upcoming console release. Only thing I can think of.

I'm about to buy Morrowind from GMG (€3,70 with discount code), can someone convince me not to?
Never played Morrowind before. I loved Skyrim, but the combat is awful. After that I tried Oblivion, the combat was even more awful, but on top of that it had nothing of the kind of atmosphere that appeals to me IMO, Cyrodiil was fantasy ugly and "generic" as shit, voice acting was terrible, didn't like how the camera zooms into their faces when talking to them, etc. Morrowind on the other hand looks like an amazingly atmospheric game, but damn I'm afraid of the combat which I assume is even worse than Oblivion.

Morrowind is the best of them all.
Lore & story is wayy better IMO.
The survey even mentioned the possibility of Steam Workshop support. They must be making a PC port if they're already thinking about things like that.
i am not a violent person but you should be shot for this ><
Which region are you in?
Not vanilla, though. Right?
Taiwan. But it worked before. Just re-installing to see.
Vanilla yes. Modded is mainly just textures.

I don't like vanilla, I prefer strawberry or chocolate.
