If that's true and not an error, ali can say is fuck off MS.
The problem for one thing, is making it mandatory.
If it would be an option, like the HD texture in Sleeping Dogs, nobody would complain.

Hey jshackles, how much would it cost just to keep it running? Is it a monthly or yearly thing? Just curious. You can PM me or message me on Steam if you'd rather.

Not saying it's right, but doesn't iOS do this too?
If it's removed from the app store and you don't have it installed on your device(s) or backed up to a computer with itunes or whatever, you can't re-download it, I think?
We really need that "Ubisoft just keeps on digging' gif amended.
Yeah, I was really hoping to get a straight answer.

Well, I know what games I'll be installing from the Windows Store then.
Free games only.
I think you're over estimating by much.
game is 50GB without those (Xbox). 50GB would be enough for full length movie. At blu-ray bitrate (~50 Mbit) which is waay overkill and cannot be streamed reliably. Netflix 4K is around 1/3 of this.
Allowing for optional 1080p downloadd or 4k download shouldn't be problem.
For most games cutscene quality is real issue, even when those aren't streamed. Because how streaming works, it needs to be even lower quality (you can't use extra bitrate for scenes that need it and save from those that don't need it). (Shout out to Max Payne 3 for having good quality cutscenes).
Yeah they change those:
Code:
HIT25 *
*The voucher code looks a little shorter than usual, right? Dont worry, we can now create super cool shortcodes thatll hopefully be a little easier to remember!
But whenever I try to enter the MAR20 voucher it gives this error
which seems to imply the longer codes are still in use, but the homepage only shows the smaller MAR20.
Thanks for saving me some money on potential purchases Microsoft, that was really easy wasn't it?

The background looks good, so I preordered it.
Not if you use the mobile authenticator...
If you don't have a mobile authenticator (or are dealing with someone who doesn't have it), you have to wait 15 days for market transactions instead of the usual 3 days. But trading cards will still be 3 days without a mobile authenticator, so that doesn't change.
Other than that it stays the same.

Someone with poor quality internet probably wouldn't be able to download a 100gb+ game or whatever size it may end up. It's good to have an option for sure, but people losing their minds like this is the end of the world is dumb.

I have a smartphone, but I dont want to use an authenticator every time I turn on my PC or change it.

First, it doesn't work for some people.
Second, it's not available for certain OS (windows phones).
Third, it's a hassle.
Cmiiw.

listen to the mad man
I've got a smartphone and am happy to use it but the mobile authenticator stopped working for me. The phone app would make me login (annoying enough, since I use a password manager) and then when I signed it it'd ask me to get a two-factor auth code from the mobile authenticator. Which is what I was trying to do. So I turned it off.
I think jshackles has a smartphone but has some issues with his provider that prevent him from using the mobile auth.

You rarely need to use it on your PC client.
Where it becomes a giant pain in the neck is when Valve starts making your browser cookies expire and requires a re-login. I've had it prompt me for the authenticator code cause I had to re-login 3 times during a 12 hour window and every time I went to go use the Steam app on iOS, I was greeted with the "hey, you need to log in on this phone too... please provide the auth code from the app you can't log into now."
Or he's got a Windows phone.
that's very disappointing but whatever, i barely bother with cards anymore

It's not the same. Downloading a big game with a poor internet connection only means that it'll take longer. Having to stream video means that it will either stutter or be loading for ages.
Thanks for all the work you've done on it, totally been a great help to earning 'free' money.

I had one. I only even switched to android because of some weird ass thing HTC did that broke my phone from being authenticated to my MS account.

So I wonder what happens to Quantum Break if the servers can't stream the video... Nothing good, I imagine.

offtopic question but maybe someone here can answer
is there like an android app that you can use to sketch like game levels or whatever on the train?
it doesn't have to be a drawing app, it needs to be something more like a tilemap level editor or something like that.
i should probably just take a notebook with me but taking it out of my bag takes time and my train ride isn't that long and i just want to be able to doodle a quick level if it comes to my head
i guess i'll end up making my own ;_;

It could be damaging to the steam 'economy' as a whole.
If it becomes more difficult to sell cards, it diminishes the perceived value of games.
In fact, we are witnessing the Lehman moment of the steam 'economy'.

There should be some like pixel thing on android somewhere but, I am not too sure.

The problem with SAM is I understand you would have to switch games manually.
If you're not scared of something more complicated (command line only, no GUI) there is ArchiSteamFarm though for now I don't need a lot of its useful features (multi account support, works on linux and I believe can be stuck onto a raspberry pi for low energy idling).
It's the Zune video store all over again
At least that had the excuse of actually shutting down...I'm reminded of when people found they could put anything as a version number for their guide on gamefaqs so instead of having things like 0.7 or complete you started having version numbers named after characters in the game.Lol, I was looking at the upcoming releases and noticed this
Game in BG is RPG Fighter League. Sounds pretty over ambitious but I wouldn't mind a colosseum mode only RPG (wait, don't I already play Final Fantasy Record Keeper?)...
As for these bundles. Groupees chatbot says:
604/626 Greenlight games featured on Groupees have been greenlit or released.
I'd prefer to know how many have actually been released. For example I'm still waiting on LEAVE HOME and QRTH-PHYL (both greenlit) which were the reason I purchased the build a greenlight bundle 8 they were in to begin with. Well I suppose that bundle had Angels of Fasaria which I enjoyed for being such a terrible RPGmaker game, Pirate's Deck which took a very bizarre turn when when people ran it and found a 3D game called Spacewar called instead of the tower defence game they voted for and some other things which were not quite as bad.

Did Bandai-Namco raise the price of Dark Souls 3 in some regions?
In the morning it was 188RMB in China, about 28$.
Now its 246, which is about 37$...
Edit: Yeah. They raised it:

Yeah that part annoys me the most. It seems to only keep me logged in for about 6 hours. I pretty much always have the Steam app running on my phone just so I can quickly log in or confirm trades (which I get about once every hour or two).
This authenticator stuff is getting out of hands, I use it just to avoid the restrictions in everything, but it's a complete pain in the ass having to put in a code every time you log out of Steam (or your browser does it), or want to log in with another device.
Also confirming the high-value sales you want to do is annoying, I had to do it 3 times, can't imagine when you are someone buying and selling a lot of stuff.

It's the other way around here in Indonesia.
Originally, it was Rp 778.000 ($58), not it's Rp 587.000 ($44).
It's interesting though. Has there been a similar case(s) like this in the past?
What happens to people who've already bought it at the original price? Will they get a change?
Chairmanchuck

I hope it goes down again.
Wonder what happened. Did Bandai-Namco see the Three Kingdoms Sales and see that games sell for 60$ in China too?
I actually just noticed, because today morning I was wondering if I should preorder it, then just now wanted to preorder it and see they raised the price...

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.
For shame, spreading foul rumors like that.
I never knew I had that much influence!
