Does this happen to other than me?

I bought the Days of the Dev bundle from Steam. The activity feed showed that I now own two new games. A few minutes later it only showed that I now own one new game. Now it shows nothing

Edit: It's not that I lost the games, I still own them

Happens to me as well. Show correctly from "My activity" though.

Yeah something buggy is going on. Friend activity doesn't show my DotT but when I switch to my activity it's there.

Only real upside for Chris is he has a little more health. Chris is essentially hard mode, especially in the original.

Doesn't he get more headshots as well? But losing those 2 inventory slots is a huge compromise.

Steam site changed! It has a hamburger button now.


I'm missing Chalice, Titan Souls, Tentacle, and Oxenfree for 4.90. If I get Titan Souls for a buck on humble what will my cost be in steam? Wow, sorry for the word math problem!

How many months took them to add a badly vertically centered hamburger button?

Looks like Watch Dogs 2 is getting bundled with Samsung SSDs (500 gb+). Not a bad deal if you were in the market for an 850 EVO. Might mean some cheap codes too.

Hmm only on their overpriced products. Guess they have to make up the money to pay for the Note 7 bomb somewhere.

What, of course not. It's all just an inside joke in this small community. Who in the world really cares who makes a thread? We're not that deranged thank God... yet ;)

Civ 6 just breached 1 million on SteamSpy. I was curious about how that would do at full price / launch since Civ 5 is a prime example of one of those loooooong tail titles.

Guess star citizen will be getting an even more expanded frankfurt studio then lol

But seriously how do you stay for 4 months of no pay check? It's pretty sad.

Loyalty, faith, or just a desperation to have something concrete on your resume so you haven't just burned X years of your life for nothing.

I think those are the general reasons I've read in various studio implosion articles. (Most recently a 38 Studios postmortem from 2012.)

Ah yeah, that makes sense.
I don't have much experience in those kinds of things as I'm studying and I would leave my part-time work pretty much the same month as my paycheck's not coming.

Ok something strange is going on with Idlemaster atm. I have 4 games going at once to get them over 2 hours and cards are dropping like crazy, every few minutes. Normally the more games at once it takes exponentially longer but now it's going faster.

Update: I've received 5 more cards in the last 11 mins.

had to turn adblock off to pay

Is there a reason the Witcher 3 Expansion Pass is in the top sellers right now? Been waiting to buy it but I don't see a sale. Wondering why it jumped up suddenly.

You're likely browsing from a mac or Linux, which will sort the top sellers by OS. Click to see all top sellers then turn off OS filter.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge.

I'm so deep in this Civ-hole that there is no way I'll have time for Tyranny this month. Gonna have to wait for the Winter Sale most likely. I can't wait to hear how it goes though. Game looks dope AF.

games industry takes advantage of working on games being so many ppl's dream job, as well as lack of unions or any sort of developer protection. it's a young industry that seems to have a lot of ties to tech which also seems very un-organized so ppl just get stepped on, often very naively thinking about what's best for the game or the company or whatever

here in argieland in particular game developers that are legally employed (which is not the majority) actually belong to some random union that does general commerce stuff like retail and shit. and i've heard ppl talk about creating an actual union more than once but then u got that other union that's gonna come and literally beat you up with pipes and shit

there's been cases here of people going 7 months unpaid, and i've heard worse stories about like american companies going on 8 month 6 day weeks crunches, ppl sleeping at their desks and shit

never underestimate the capabilities of companies and executives of being absolute scumbags

Chris Avellone is still pretty mad about Obsidian

While I like the developers and wish them all the very best, there's too many other problems at the higher managerial level to ever consider stepping back, especially when you could make a step in a direction that mattered for the franchise. Even leads at Obsidian have said as much (most after departing), and they told me they felt helpless in their roles to do what they felt was the right decision.
