Why do they always copy from Humble?

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.
I thought you guys might be interested to know:
The number of subs on Steam with ACRTAG enabled now exceeds the number of apps on Steam with exfgls enabled.
1,241 subs now have ACRTAG
1,216 apps now have exfgls
What this means is that there are now more subs with regional gifting restricted than there are apps that are restricted from family sharing.
EDIT: Not that these numbers really correlate or anything, I just thought it was interesting.

I love me some exfgls.

also - this got locked about 2h ago (new sub, though ... the old ones aren't locked, so you should still be able to find it cheaper ... for now)
Yeah, Focus is acutely aware of ACRTAG. Styx was region-locked from the off despite being a (relatively) old app.

Thanks. I actually completely forgot they usually made an autumn sale too. Thought the next one would be the christmas one.
It started on Wednesday last year too.
Ah, so it did. I probably forgot to account for the fact that Steam news posts use local time when I went searching through the archives to see the start dates. The store updates at 1am/2am here (depending on whether or not the US observing daylight savings), which pushes the date forward.
That's cut selection to new layer.
EDIT: Oh wait... if there's no selection, it does duplicate the entire layer. The things I learn.

I guess the reason that the ACRTAG stuff surprises me is that I started tracking this info in the Enhanced Steam database on Oct 10th, 2014. At that time, there were 785 subs in the database with ACRTAG enabled. A month an a half later, there are now 1,241. That's a pretty huge increase in a relatively short amount of time.
I know it's due to new subs being created with it automatically but... that's still a lot of locked down stuff.

Someone mentioned earlier that he received a pre-order key, yeah. It's probably old stock so I wouldn't necessarily take that to mean you'll get one yourself.
Wow that is actually far more titles that have the exfgls tag than I expected.
Puzzle Kingdoms doesn't play badly, but the art is pretty dire, especially coming off of PQ. >_<

Most of it is DLC for F2P games (can't let people have that for free!)
The rest of it is stuff with DRM, basically.
I own goat simulator but never played it. I think I am going to install to see wtf this is.
more like Goat Fetch Quest Simulator
the quests bore me to death

I can't think of a major game being excluded from family sharing that isn't due to it using Uplay/GFWL/some other sort of nonsense. Hope that doesn't become more common because my brother and i are really enjoying dipping into each other's collections.
The vast majority of the apps are DLC (namely for MP games, games that contain third-party DRM, and software even though software is excluded from Family Sharing entirely, without the developer's input).
Edit: b10.
Sounds like a pretty accurate simulation of a lot of MMO's nowadays. >.>
It's $60. And no. Just wait for the Winter Sale; it'll be 25% off at some point.
Which causes some annoying issues like if you have family sharing enabled and they go to play the free version of something you own DLC for (like Pinball FX2), they only play the free version, but it still locks your own library and they'll get kicked out if you try to play something. That may only affect certain games, but it's very annoying.
Unless you have a heavily-overclocked Sandy Bridge CPU or better and a 780 or better, you'd be better off with the PS4 version.

All this region locking just pisses me off
So they didn't send you a review copy

Considering that ACIV ran like ass maxed out on the gtx 770 that it came packed with, i can't even imagine how terrible Unity runs on it. I imagine it's not too much better that the console versions

welcome to the club ... personally, I REALLY hope it comes back to bite Volvo in the ass ... HARD!!
I'd be worried about getting the standard ver from Origin India anyway. People who bought the standard edition from there after release day ended up having issues. Game wouldn't show up in their library without a vpn.

wow, I only paid about $13 thanks to GMG deals but to see FF13 at 50% off makes me think Square enix aren't planning any big patches and are just trying to get their sales while they can.
Link for anyone interested
I'm still enjoying the game, thanks to Durante and the others that have worked on GeDoSaTo

it's uplay, unless he gives you his uplay account info and is ok with you taking over his account and him not having access to it while you play, it's not going to work
youre kidding me
I had to go through a shitload of embargo info and it was a UPlay code, so I did not want one.
Using TeamViewer or whatever internet-based remote desktop software you prefer, have him: sign into his account on your PC, head into Steam -> Settings -> Family, click "Authorise this computer" and finally tick the box opposite your Steam Community name.
