It doesn't affect keys.

There's a chance that's not entirely true. I suspect it may affect keys that confer gift copies (e.g. four-packs), but this is a moot point if you're not in Eastern Europe/South America/South-east Asia or you're just redeeming something for yourself.

So that's a yes? Oh man, this really sucks. I regret not buying more. What should I do with my 5 keys?

It's a "probably not". ACRTAG being disabled by default has been going on for about a month now and thus far the only retroactive region-lock is Capcom with Dead Rising 2.
 
Not sure if old, but the intro cinematic of Civ:BE got me all hyped.

Maybe too hyped, considering I'm not planning of preordering or buying it day one, but I'll likely wait for at least the first expansion. :'(

Beautiful, I wonder if Firaxis ever thought of making a third-person exploration game? I always liked the early game in Civ, exploring, expanding & some fighting to spice it up. Then everyone one wants to betray you....

So good. Interstellar and this seem to tie into each other. Civ BE mentions the "great mistake" that ends up forcing humans to look for alternate planets to move on to, but the film Interstellar out a week later explores that mistake. Can't wait for both. Next month is already ruined

Same thing I was thinking. Interstellar:Beyond Earth from Sid Meier and Christopher Nolan.

y'all should be ashamed
Just saw the intro movie to Civ Beyond Earth, and man, that and Civ 5 have the most perfect intro movies that sum up just about everything in the game. Both are just so great. Maybe my favorite intros to games ever.

I'm going to wait and see what the Korra reviews are now. Not a avatar fan and while I love platinum, I need to see more. Plus I'm already getting Bayo the same week.

Same here. Didn't even know what Korra was before the game, and I'll have my hands full with TEW and Bayonetta 2 this month, so it can wait. Also SMTIV should come out this month too. Maybe.

For you.

? not wan all. the publishers always had the option of region locking their titles, so nothing is really changing for games with older subs. The ammount of lockson older game will be fairly minimal because if they wanted to lock it they would have done so already.

Not all family lives locally to an individual. Stop.

You just change your password for a minute until they are authorized. It's not a big deal. You can even use that Chrome Remote Desktop app if you don't trust them for whatever reason.

You probably shouldn't Family Share with people you don't trust!

I did a bit of reading and oh wow that's basically chest/corpse re-rolling from Might & Magic 6-8.

Kinda worried about getting Divinity: OS now.

Hmm, its cheaper to buy the Tomb Raider collection pack than the individual games even though I already own TR 2013 and DLC. Wish they had a Classic TR Pack or something. If the game(s) I already owned were gift-able that would be cool too.

I had to same problem. But I just bit the bullet and bought the collection for 4 keys. Less than $8 so still cheaper than individually.

I used TeamViewer. It was a little laggy, naturally, but otherwise painless.

So beautiful and sad. And I love that the focus in the cinematic aren't americans (although some are shown at some point), not even westerns, but Pakistani as modern people.
I might get weak until the 24th.
 
Speaking of Firaxis... Does anyone know if they use paid market research just before a game is released?

Reason why I ask is I signed up to do a market research study soon about pc gaming. I've done these things before for other products. You come in, they feed you, and then pay you for your opinion on an unreleased product or marketing stuff. most of the time you can't guess what they they are calling you in for before you get there from the screening questions but sometimes you can.

Initially it seemed to be a lot of questions that were about Bethesda games RPGs but then they started asking me how many hours I've played virtually every Firaxis game ever made with a few other games thrown in like EA. The only thing I can think of is we might see Beyond Earth.

It's really not worth doing unless 1) you have terribly shitty equipment or 2) Its a chest that guarantees a legendary (usually found at the end of a major story mission/after a boss)
 
All these giveaways are reminding me that I still have two months to accumulate cards before the next big, badge-involving sale. I've told myself before the past three or so Steam sales that I would drain all my games of cards and I never did. This time, things will be different... I mean, they won't, but I'll lie to myself and say that they will.
