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.
Well I got the full amount I asked for the item so if I now spend it all, Valve rolls everything back....

In this particular instance I'm expecting that all store purchases made with Steam wallet funds since the glitch happened will probably also be reversed. There may be some legitimate customers caught in the net, but the potential liability for Valve here is pretty astronomical, as Madjoki's post above with a CS:GO gun selling for millions illustrates.

- Apparently it's Indonesia Rupiah and somebody at Valve fucked up the decimal point.
- Indonesians noticed that they could buy hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of CSGO and Dota 2 items for pennies
- This could seriously fuck up a lot of people

Valve will probably do a rollback like they did with the gems fiasco.

6.4 million euros for CS:GO skins. Someone's rich now.
Until rollback anyway

Thought the same during the gem-pocalypse. Now look at me. But how did that happen? The wallet can't go over 400€ I think and I can't enter a higher value for an item. Oh wait, the seller sold in Indian Rupees I guess?

Better not do anything.

I think I'll grab Dirt Rally and see what happens.

That's likely, shows how much prices was screwed.

This is gonna screw all ecosystems if not properly reversed.

Oh who ever brought up Final Fantasy Tactics yesterday, thank you very bloody much as I've just gone on a book buying bender that's cost me a small fortune.

So a couple of missions in and Dawn of War seems pretty manageable for the RTS impaired. Unless they drastically increase the soldier/vehicle cap the further you get I won't see myself having too much trouble playing this game.

It looks like the expansion order is Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and then Soulstorm.

The first DoW and its expansions are a pretty good implementations of RTS 'Classic' but if you really want a new spin on the formula DoW II really stripped things back to pretty much small squad management. It's kind of a weird RTS/RPG hybrid that works really well. Company of Heroes is still my favourite Relic game by a country mile but I really like what they did with DoW II.

Hey SteamGAF i created E3 Conference banners for another forum and if you want i can post them here too. For now Only EA banner has clickable Stream links just for test because i don't have Stream links for this year. (banners are not done yet, EA conference times are already fixed and MS/Sony times will be updated when they announce them).

Those are pretty nice. I'd suggest maybe changing the colours on the PC Gamer and Bethesda text, as the times are a little hard to read given the background.

FYI You should probably add a background layer to these, they look almost unreadable for those of us using the dark theme.

Use solid colors. Those lines make my eyes feel like they are being assaulted. I don't know why we still use that in this thread too for the OP.

These are for another forum and if you guys and girls want them on GAF/SteamGAF i will adjust them for this forum :D

They look great expect you forgot a Giantbomb stream column.

edit: I would also add a black outline to the white text on the striped sections. The Bethesda one in particular is hard to read.

FFT books? Why and why would anyone buy them?

Long story but let's say from picking up Tactics Ogre's design archive lead me to The World of Eorzea to The Eyes of Bayonetta 2 and so on.

Use solid colors. Those lines make my eyes feel like they are being assaulted. I don't know why we still use that in this thread too for the OP.

Well if we want to be keeping the OP in keeping with Steam's aesthetics we should really be using shitty, artifacted, gradients on everything.
