Support NeoGAF

[Zeknurn]

yes ... acrtag flag is being applied by default now ... so if the dev/publisher doesn't specifically disable it (or rather "enable") - the game is region-locked

I think this warrants a new thread title in remembrance of our fallen friend.



Lots of interesting stuff over at the GoG stream. They're planning on adding multiplayer support for classic titles to Galaxy and to stress test this they will be giving away a "new classic title" starting tomorrow.

 

[Rhaknar]

some more The Evil Within streaming, now with less faux-splinter cell and more resident evil hopefully

 

[Grief.exe]

Ok, I'm really liking this new logo

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Ok, I'm really liking this new logo

Wow, that's definitely an improvement over the other one you had.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Can anyone help me get the Tomb Raider Japanese language DLC in exchange for a game of equal value? I need two copies. Or is that going to be hard now with the default region lock thing?

 

[Jawmuncher]

At least I was able to get dying light for cheap.

Also I'm glad that TEW has a 30fps lock. Just because my nvidia 660 2gb can only really run the game at 45-55 FPS but it jumps around. So I like the fact that I can keep it at 30 with no dips.

 

[MMBosstones86]

wait. The Putin dream is dead??

Ok, I'm really liking this new logo

nailed it dude.

Looks so much better than the earlier one.

Steam | November 2014 - No Russian

[Tecl0n]

the end is nigh.

 

[agniswarm]

No your point was that they were freely sending out codes and not in batches.

.

Lol..freely sending out codes or else they would have verified multiple accounts..

 

[NingenJanai]

STEAM | November 2014 - No international affection display allowed

 

[Benedict]

Have all the games but being able to play FTL in a browser is tempting.
Would that maybe also work on tablets?

 

[Shadownet]

Lol..freely sending out codes or else they would have verified multiple accounts..

"Verified multiple accounts".. You're giving too much credit to playfire and GMG.

 

[Grief.exe]

Ha the other one was something I put together in about 5 minutes to test the concept, needless to say it didn't work very well.

The problem with the original Steam logo was so horizontal that the logo really doesn't have much of a presence on the shelf.
This new logo increases the size, but still keeps the minimal aspect that I was originally going for with these covers.

Эй, whats happening here?!

yes verified..!!

 

[Chariot]

What, WHAT? Stop, stop, stop. What exactly happened with russia?

 

[Shadownet]

All Steam games are ARCTAG from now on by default. So no more cheap Russian games unless the developers turn off the ARCTAG.

So expect all the future releases like MGSV and Batman to be locked.

Edit: I meant "on"

Oh god, no.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

What is Arctag?
Just russian or also brazil?

And is it just for new releases or does every game has this now?

 

[-Deimos]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

But will activated games behave like ROW versions?

"AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting", affects Russia, Brazil, Asia.

AllowCrossTradingAndGifting. Its automatically off from now on. So a developer has to turn it on if they want that game to be region free.

I think it might just be for new releases but I'm thinking worst case scenario... Every games.

Edit: If this affect games that already came out. Those people who have like hundred of games in their inventory are screwed. But I think if you already redeemed yours. You should be safe. I doubt they will take the game away.

Thanks. Is it retroactive, so all games released till now have this tag?

 

[lashman]

no ... just the newly added ones

 

[Shadownet]

no ... just the newly added ones

lashman. What about Costume Quest 2 and Witcher 3? D:

Check out this cover, currently talking to the creator to see if I can get the original to make the PC version.

Why is Vanille bigger than Lightning? So wrong

 

[Benedict]

Wonder how this will affect bundles...
Will it?

 

[Axass]

sorry, i would say dont bother. they were out of keys 1 hour ago and no word about another batch of keys or anything

if you create another account then you wont have the same email as that of GMG so that wont work out...if you vote again then you will need to create a new GMG account (in incognito) and attach it to a new steam account and then only you will receive it

EU has been out for a while now. I'm sure most people who want the game already bought it. I have it and I sat through 10 mins of voting just to raffle this away later.

Thanks guys, but actually it worked. I've got the game now, so I guess they're still sending keys to those voting now.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Will it?

....why would this affect bundles?

Bundle keys != game trading

Is vanille that important of a character?

 

[lashman]

lashman. What about Costume Quest 2 and Witcher 3? D:

like I said - only the newly added ones ... the VERY newly added ones ... I'm talking about 3-4 days back tops

 

[Hero Prinny]

so i think im gonna start my playthrough of dragon age after shadow or mordor but I want to get some mods first. I've beaten the game way back on ps3 but I don't remember shit about it so pls none of that do a clean playthrough first. any recommended mods?

Why is Vanille bigger than Lightning? So wrong

vanille is more annoying, thats why. but i guess even if you rank em by most annoying its still incorrect. It should be Vanille, then Hope, then Lightning, and all the other randoms go here with the exception of sazh who was alright. not great, just alright.

 

[Chariot]

Is vanille that important of a character?

She is underage and has a short skirt. Of course she is.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Oooh. I think I understand the situation now... sorta.

Goodbye Nuuvem??

Thanks god. I gotta grab those two games then before anything else bad happen.

I guess this is really good bye Snake, Korra and Batman.

 

[kudoboi]

Goodbye Nuuvem??

AFAIK this only affects game gifts. CD keys are not affected. (dont quote me on this)

 

[Axass]

Is vanille that important of a character?

Sure... if you rank character's importance based on being annoying.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I can see the shitty click bait articles now, "Russian Steam game sales plummet, is piracy to blame?"

 

[rtcn63]

Sure... if you rank character's importance based on being annoying.

Well, Tidus was the protagonist in FFX.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks like nuveem is about to get a lot of business since cd keys are usually left alone.

Eastern Europe, South America and South-east Asia, to clarify.

True. Tidus has got nothing on Vanille though. And Hope, I hate Hope.
