Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Dangit. I need Lego Indiana Jones. The last one I need.

I already regret receiving this free game.

I have felt this pain from many giveaways like this in the past D:
You are right, damn.

How would one go about giving a steam gift with modbot after the recent changes?
Give away an IOU and add the winner to your friends list.

I was hoping there would be a more elegant solution but i guess it'll have to do, thanks!
That's an awesome price for those three games!

DOOM is on sale for $20.
Must... resist... buying.

As a result of the changes, it's now completely impossible to purchase a gift for later use. Even if you were to send it to an alt account, the gift redemption URL in the notification e-mail wouldn't work for any other user.

I'm expecting this to happen to the Chivalry devs' new game, Mirage. Especially now that PUBG is swallowing up mindshare of MP only $30 games.

Does anybody use Steam Link wirelessly? Due to my set up this might be the only option for me but from everything I've read it'll probably lag a lot.
Oh I remember someone promising a lot of IOUs and not coming through.
Bought it, played a match and refunded it. Only found 1 other player out of 18 I think.
While he rage-deleted all GAFers from his friends list when he was perma-banned, he did eventually live up to his word.
Did he? My bad in that case, I was sure there were a few gafers here who never got their games.

Gotcha. So that means i can't even buy the game until the giveaway is done...
Does the GAFFer that won access to your account still play games occasionally?

Well, I can't say for certain that everybody received their game, however several winners chimed in to say he'd recently come through when I used his giveaway as an example of why you shouldn't do IOUs for titles that aren't yet pre-purchaseable or you otherwise can't yet buy.
Yeah, it's a bit of a hassle now.
Yeah, every now and again. He's played a bit of Prey.

Good choice by him/her. How does it work, can 2 people play at once (different games)?

anyone know if there's a way to find out what indiegala account you linked your steam account to? I must have done it years ago with a forgotten account and can't remember it
They can't play simultaneously. If Jase starts a game, it kicks the other out

But what if Jase is playing a game and is kicked out! I am sure this never happens but could be awkward, or can Jase never be kicked out as he is the OG.
Family Sharing doesn't allow concurrent library access. The only way we could both play a game is if I switched to Offline Mode (shared libraries aren't accessible in OM).
The library owner has precedence. He can't launch a game if I'm in-game.
He did atleast in my case which was a pleasant surprise since I didn't even think about it anymore. I think it's been a year already.

Makes sense, very cool. I never really followed the family sharing protocol but if you cant be kicked out and you can kick them out it is a sweet concept.
I do think the lack of concurrent library access is rather heavy-handed. I'd like for Valve to loosen the noose a bit and just disallow concurrent game access. Also, Steam's determination of what is and isn't shareable isn't perfect and several of my games that are shareable don't carry over to the shared library (e.g. South Park, CoD: Advanced Warfare, two or three of the Resident Evil titles and who knows what else). I think the issue is that FS is designed to hide region-locked games that user can't run and this is erroneously affecting some region-free games (with the possible exception of some region-specific releases, none of my games are region-locked).

He'd better play! 😄
Personally I wish it was possible to separate the Steam library into 2 libraries, shared library and owner library. Shared library would work like the current family sharing, while the account owner would have access to the games in the owner library without affecting the person that would be using the shared library...

That would just lead for all Steam friends to share libraries with all people they know, until they reach the limit. Depending on how actually social the Steam userbase is, that could reduce sales for Valve quite a bit. Especially for new 60$ games. Once someone is "done" with it, like say finishing Prey after 20 hours, someone else could play it, and so forth.
I mean, reduce sales in general, which would hit Valve the most.

That actually looks awesome, but all MMOs disappoint me when I play them. WoW spoiled me.
That wouldn't be a bad idea. Not ideal, but certainly a little better than the current setup.
The limit is just 5. It was originally 10 but quietly changed around the time Offline Mode support was disabled.
ModBot
Not a mod, just a bot.

So I'm pretty sure I'm near the end of The Last Remnant. I gave up on trying to do all the sidequests, which is how you get access to the true final boss, because my characters are poorly optimized so I'm sure I would just get destroyed anyway. I'll save that for NG+, if I decide to play through this game again.
I need to clear my backlog before I even think of buying any more Steam games.

I traded that G2A deal bundle already, so just learn my mistakes and don't buy anything from G2A, and even if you for some reasons will buy something from them, don't forget to check pre-approved payments in your paypal account.
Finished chapter 4 in Bayonetta, and while i having a blast with this game, i don't understand how to properly dodge boss attacks. Usual enemies are easy, but those dragon heads attacking with weird timing, sometimes they're too fast, sometimes otherwise, I'm dodging to early and getting damage. Is there any way to know for sure at what exact moment i should dodge? Without dying several times just to learn boss attack pattern.

Lol I saw Dungeon of the Endless Crystal Edition and thought it was an addon that turned the graphics of the game realistic instead of pixelated 
I would have bought that lol.
Also I still have a Stellaris key to trade if anyone is interested. Can only accept keys in return since my Steam account is from South America

So my question is how many units did PoE 1 sell at those prices? According to the limited data I can see from Steamspy, there are something like ~900k owners of PoE1. Assuming ~74k of those are backers (pulled from the kickstarter page), the number is probably higher since there are backers who may have come from other places than Kickstarter, but yo this is napikin math so it's fine. That something like... ~790k copies sold at any price.
PoE has been on sale but not at huge discount AFAIK, so hitting 500k for the sequel seems pretty reasonable. No idea if that will be hit with full retail copies or not, but.. hey! You are supporting a company and game you clearly love, so go you!
I hope it works out because I am also a backer of PoE2, so I want it to be great =)
