Hmm. Disconcerting.
I've already changed my password and I didn't have any of the above info saved so I should be good.

listen to the mad man
Nothing I need it for, but it'd be nice for some of the machine learning stats analysis stuff I do.
Stay out of the Bloodstained thread then.
As per the e-mail, Valve identified every IP address that requested a Steam page during the caching issue window and sent the message to every account that has ever been accessed with one. That's the exact opposite of disconcerting. Sending the e-mail to literally every user doesn't achieve anything when Valve is very much aware of which particular accounts may have been accessed by other users.

Meanwhile in other Steam Spy related numbers:
Owners: 135,090 ± 8,558
nothing_stops_this_train.gif
Owners: 546,189 ± 17,196
Price: $24.99
And then I looked up Starbound and learned that it sold 2 million copies... and released in December 2013. My shock is eternal.
2.5 million copies seems to be the upper limit for Stardew Valley's sales, according to my scientific calculations.

I meant with regard to the beginning of February to now, the number dropped 3-4K.

The unease comes from them sending an e-mail now. Why send an e-mail now if there wasn't some kind of recent discovery on their part or possible issue pertaining my account? I don't even believe I accessed my account in the allotted time and my account has been potentially affected by this "issue." I'm honestly not even worried but I thought it was strange of them to remind me about it.
Starbound is a good game. I haven't played it in a year because I'm waiting (and waiting...) for the imminent 1.0 release. Looking forward to getting back into it, it definitely held my attention for many tens of hours even in a relatively bare bones state. I imagine it will sell a tonne once it gets its 1.0 release. The amazing thing is that it's never gone below fifteen bucks according to isthereanydeal. Possibly it was cheaper as a part of a bundle, but it's never been cheap cheap.
Starbound had tons of buzz when it first released and sat on top of the charts for ages. It even cracked the top 10 of one of SteamGaf's GotY lists. If the final release hits and actually delivers on what was originally hoped for, I'm sure it will be huge again. Terraria is at over 7 million now. If Stardew Valley scratches that same itch, I'm sure it will push a ton of copies.
Pretty good timing releasing relatively shortly after the huge success of Terraria which had an uncertain future for a while. People were pretty eager for something new. It's too bad the development of Starbound ended up dragging on slowly for years instead.
Can't you just set up them to run in background, dunno, a minute or so after user login?
If you disable pagefile completely (no need with 32GB except for some badly written games) Windows will have to load them to RAM...
Alternatively, just use a RAMDrive.

Some people have iOS devices, shocking!
Honestly, I don't think I have one. Sure, there are the occasional games that I'll go back and play a little bit of here and there (FTL, Isaac), but nothing super consistent. I'd say that Minecraft would be up there, but after what must have been hundreds of hours on it, I finally got burned out. Of course, if a new modded GAF server popped up, I'd probably get sucked back in, but otherwise I'm pretty much done.
I do find myself doing a runthrough of VVVVVV every so often. Only takes about an hour or so, and it's just such a damn good game.

Well, at least we know No Man's Sky won't be a WinStore exclusive.

I wish I could get emails about getting some Steam cash. Lord knows I'm not going to get some anymore from trading cards thanks to Volvo.

Wow, what year is it? 2116?

Wow, really?
That's interesting. It's either steamspy is still counting or it's just not that accurate at all. Or maybe people are indeed refunding the game. It'still weird though, it's kinda too late to do that.
Amazing. Can you PM me the name of that certain private server, please?
TBC is my favorite WoW era.

By highlighting such dumb comments you end up giving them more weight than they deserve and, in a way, you might end up hurting Js by making him notice something that he's better off missing on (I hope Js doesn't keep himself updated on every response to his announcement, to be honest).
Some evidence that Scalebound might come to Windows 10 store.

According to my calculations, Stardew Valley is an ~70+ hour game. That's for a regular two year run, though there is no hard limit on a campaign.
It really is amazing that one dude made it.
It really is a shame that you can find vitriolic comments in pretty much any comment section on the Internet. Or at least ones with light, automated, or no moderation.

Finally, I can unleash this, the most perfect of gifs.

Please don't do this to me.
Still no Halo though. But it's not like I'm craving for Halo anyway.
I'd imagine obtaining a massive list of IPs and cross-referencing them against an exponentially more massive list of login histories takes quite a bit of time.

And Forza Horizon 3 and something called Visit Eden Falls?
Don't make me buy stuff from the Windows store!! >_<
We already know Forza Horizon 3 is hitting Windows, they announced all future Forza games are hitting Windows 10 for the time being.

Nothing stops this train!
Except when you're out of paper
Then don't buy them.
If enough people are like you and sales crater, one can safely assume Steam version being released a few months down the line.
Or better yet, wait for another "Games for $.10" promotion.

Some interesting titles for those interested.
(?) Durante will remember that.
Fair enough.
I see I picked a good time to poke my head in, then. >.>
Seriously, though, I need to start checking in here regularly again. Life's had me busy these past few months. Hope everyone's been doing well.
For PC? It'd have to be UT2k4. When the urge hits, I'll queue up some bots and play for awhile, usually DM or CTF.
Overall? Phantasy Star Portable 2 for PSP. Still break that out semi-regularly, even after all these years. Wish I could find something on PC that recaptured that magic for me. (Tried PSO2 while it was in beta but it just didn't hook me the way PSP2 did.)

BG&E doomed to never sell >_>
Seems unlikely. Nintendo has stayed mum on how Bayonetta 2 performed (even the VG CHARTZ!!! plucked-out-on-thin-air numbers has it at <1m) and given it was in development for at least two years, there's no doubt in my mind Nintendo hasn't recouped costs. Throwing money at a cult favourite was ultimately a fruitless endeavour and did nothing to change the Wii U's fortune, so why would Nintendo sign off on the very same tactic for the NX??
