A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Preload is such a dirty word. I should buy VC.
Ubi thought about it for like a few hours, then was like "NAAAAH"
Hopefully this wasn't some sketchy way of trying to drum up sales up scaring people by thinking the game is gone, then bringing it back. I'm pretty sure some people would pick it up at that point just incase they really do leave.

GMG is all great price but awful service.

Oh while we all 'love' Ubi again, AssCreed IGN live stream of Unity

Hahaha yeah a racial epithet mocking a nations cuisine is pretty silly and oddly funny at the same time. Then again the English and French have had a tempestuous relationship of the centuries.
I know Ubisoft has done some pretty silly things as of late but you don't pull your 2 biggest franchises on PC and a new IP from the majority stakeholder in digital distribution before they have even released. That's just commercial suicide. Now do it a month or two after when the sales at full price have almost dried up? That's another story.
In for a penny, in for a pound. I doubt Mr GAME was holding a gun to Yves' head.

My guess? Someone on Ubisoft's side screwed up. They probably went to pull the games from specific regions (not the UK, those had been pulled well before they titles vanished globally), and had them pulled from all regions by mistake.
I'd say it's equally possible for the issue to be on Steam's side, but let's be honest, when's the last time Steam pulled a game from the store by mistake?
Woot, pre-loading VC.
I'm thinking that I'll start with VC and by the time I'm done, I'll know if AC Unity port is decent at launch and maybe then buy that, or alternately maybe the DaS steamworks patch is out by then and I'll play that.

VC must get here faaaaaaaaaster.
This is but one of many reasons we have for loving your sweet, sweet buttocks. Based Shackles, you beautiful bastard. Now I can idle my 5 new games!
I feel like there is no way a game requiring a 680 GTX (AC Unity) at this time will be well optimized at all. I'm not expecting a great port.
Never trust minimum or recommended specs. Haven't we as species learned this already?
Well it's not really awful, they fairly consistently either give out keys a day or so before release if a preload is available, or they give out the keys on the day. Still, I always go for GMG for that price, knowing I'll be annoyed in the run up to the launch

I remember GMG's Bioshock: Infinite launch...
Plus my country is still blocked out, I'm still pissed.

GMG has always been very helpful in service to me, but I always hit up twitter.
Oh dammmn. Happy new years Valkyria Chronicles?
Still 73 days

man DA:Origins writting and voice acting is so good. I love this game. And I love Alistair and Morrigan (), just need Shale for my uber partyeven if shes a evil bitch in the end
I REALLY hope Inq is more Origins than 2. The only thing DA2 was good at was giving us the best OT GAF has ever seen.
It's like you don't even know what posting speeds does in this thread.
Actually, I stand corrected. Looks like they are rolling them out right now as the pages have changed. You should get something in a few hours. I'm also still waiting
Fantastapotamus
Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Quick buy it before they take it down again!
Ha, amusingly the last time this happened was with FFXIII and by a few weeks later when it had actually downloaded, I had already moved on to other games I didn't want to bother with it till it's issues get sorted. Hope Valkyria fares better, since Isaac is taking up all my time. I can only hope for avoiding drops lower than 100kb/s. Based Manchester server, don't you ever leave me.
I suppose I should be glad I can at least stream Blizzcon, but I have to choose between either that or the Steam downloads. God damn will I be glad to move to a more capable internet city

And the Ubi stuff still isn't available in the UK, guess we can blame GAME for that again then -_-

That's not the funniest this thought. I've just realised this is a preload and because I have some pretty heavy hitters like 60gb FFXIII and 40gb Advanced Warfare installed I've got no space to unpack it. I'm going to have to either finish up something that I can delete or pause the preload with a couple of gb's to do and wait until after release to get it to swap over.
BT Infinity is available on my exchange now! Just not my cabinet
Speaking to the counselor here they put in for a government grant but it's more of a case of months than weeks.
Natch. I guess they'll be up about a week to a month after release dates and nothing will be said and no one from the media will chase it up or investigate the situation. Rearrange For Not Purpose Fit and that would describe the gaming press at large.
all signs point to yes, from recent videos to twitter comments, to review embargo 1 week before the release date. Seems they are confident with the game, and very likely with good reason (again, from previews and reviewers / users embargoed comments)
It's not a Steam key, sadly. I bought it anyway.

That looks kind of interesting. I'll keep an eye out for it when it comes out and goes on sale/gets bundled.
Desura got a new logo
Neat logo. Too bad I'll never actually use their client.
Pfft, just skip right to developing Dragon: The Flamethrower.

I love how this will be a kinda origin thread when dragon age comes out. Even though I know this has always pretty much just been PC gaming general
and eventually Dragon 2: The Search for More Money

Desura client is pretty nice actually.

Valkyria Chronicles pre-load? Don't mind if I do.
On an unrelated note, it's a shame that Hard Corps: Uprising was never released on PC/Steam. Best game of 2011 I've played in 2014.

I have it just hanging out on my 360 had grabbed it when it was 2.50. Played only the first level was a pretty game.

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.
Desura got a new logo
Not just a new logo, they've been purchased by Bad Juju who promises to do... stuff.

Maybe they can finally make Desura not suck.

Why the hell would I want to go back there?
Screw VC! Where is you copy of AC? D:
You can be whatever you want if you work hard!
Rhaknar praising Dragon Age Origins is music to my ears. I love that game.
