Totally agree. Also if there happens to be someone so inclined, a Linux version got confirmed today along with all it's DLC including the expansion "Enemy Within".

Really well, except for some weird bugs that are Firaxis's fault and may have been patched out since the last time I played (stuff like the game faking you out with a death animation delay).

Awesome, thanks!
It runs so well I have never before seen anyone worried about how well it runs on PC.
Great news. Source for that?

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.
So I have a few of these, please take them! (Beta access)
EDIT: oh man, I was putting this together and missed the Arcade Craft giveaway.

Small amount of short special stages, "AWESOME BRO, UPLOAD THAT TO YOUTUBE" dude doing voiceover after every race, many events that are not rally (gymkhana etc.) At least all cars have nicely detailed and unique cockpit views. The first Dirt is the best of the three, but it's no longer on Steam probably due to expired licenses.

It's a native port but by a company that have never done one before. They have done a lot of Mac Ports in the past.

Third midweek sale?
HL3 confirmed!
While I'm waiting for Watch Dogs to download, I was thinking about Tropico 4 which I have played these last few days.
Now this thread is a dubious place to ask infos about it, but then I don't know, I love you all here, don't really want to annoy Tropico 5 players in the OT for mechanics that could be different, and IIRC there are some people which are playing the fourth one these days...
What about international commerce ?
I mean, I'm in the middle of mission 4, I know the gist of it, but somehow the game lose me when I try to have a grasp on it. So I can import stuff, transform it and export it. Gotcha ! Buuutttt.....
Why is my commerce summary sometime not listing some exportations I make ? I would think it's because the in game world do not buy the product anymore, but I don't know, it could be clearer. I mean, there are still flags for said products in the export panel. And when I give up seeing that importing stuff without selling it will be the death of me, when I fire the workers and effectively shut down the factory, tadaaaa, my exportation appears again at 0$
If that's a case of adapting oneself to supply / demand, that seems a little extreme and I don't really understand the whole thing.
I've got difficulties wrapping my head around the budget panel, but I'm a litterary guy, not math :-X It's like the game gladly gives me everything there is to know except what I really want. What are these numbers ? Annual ? Monthly ? Because following them I sure as hell should have been dead a few times and 'lo and behold, my effective budget didn't sink so low. So yeah, there is the foreign funds but still, it's like I'm missing something to really master all the parameters.
Oh and what the fuck are the little suns above some buildings ? I have followed all tutorials and I have no idea about what they mean.

Question about linking bundle sites to Steam: Is there anywhere on the Steam site or app where we can see what's linked, and unlink them if need be?
Humble seems okay and easy enough, but Indiegala is a pain in the ass and I'm not sure how cautious I should be when it comes to linking outside sites to my Steam account.
For those of you who are more technical than me, what's the worst-case scenario that could happen if you link a site to your Steam account?

There isn't currently an account revocation tool for Steam.
That being said, the only permission they really have to make changes to your account is to redeem keys. So worst case scenario, they... could... maybe potentially redeem a stolen key to your account, then revoke it?
With the exception of the permission to redeem keys, most of the "sign in with Steam" stuff just hands whatever service your Steam64 ID and proves that you are who you say you are, nothing more. The rest of the data they get from you requires that your Steam account be public anyway.

It claims that the Complete Edition is at that price point, but when you click into it on Steam, that's just the price of Enemy Unknown. The Complete one is $10 more.
I think the whole "activation link" thing that Humble (and now IndieGala) are embracing in place of keys is a response to the key resellers out there.
Aw man, Complete Edition is still $25? Back to the waiting game, I guess.

P.S. You'll want to clean the referral out of that link as I did here, it's against GAF rules.
Hate to burst your bubble, mate, but you really should have got the game last week from GMG during that crazy sale they had. Now, that was a good use of my Playfire creds.
Nonetheless, this is a good discount, but don't be surprised to see it for less than this during the Summer Sale (if we get one). So you might want to wait, I dunno?
Anyway thanks to the cool people in this thread doing all the giveaways, including corrosivefrost (I entered for three). Where are all these games coming from, another bundle?

Afraid not. That's capitalism at work: the value of an item is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. The only way to stop it is with educated consumers.

I still dont have my indiegala keys wtf. they say its restarted now but I bought it earlier when it came out...
Well, the "exploiting charity" part is pretty irrelevant, especially since plenty of bundles aren't for charity at all, and virtually all Devs put their games in bundles to make money, not to support charity. But the bigger issue of the key reselling is apparently a major thing right now, the curator of the Blink Bundle mentioned it is a significant problem that a lot of publishers are worried about (he also implied that some bundle sites actually encourage the purchase for resale and it accounts for a huge portion of those site's total sales). It's undoubtedly why Humble Bundle and Indie Gala have gone away from keys towards their automatic redemption, and I'd expect long term that will be much more the norm. It's also why there's almost universally higher minimums for Steam keys and bundles with more tiers than we used to see. That said, there's still tons and tons of new bundles all the time, so it's obviously still deemed worth the risk, or at least worth the quick buck.

Thank you very much!
Does it come with a red scarf and twin silvered automatic pistols for the true The Shadow cosplay finish?If Black Flag is my Master and Commander voyage of escapism then Watch_Dogs has sudden one all Millers Crossing.
If you get one bit of tacked on DLC this outfit has to be the one.
