Yeah, but 30$ is not so cheap for me
I thought I can buy a Silver key for 12.50, but this is not the case.
Not sure what you wanna get, but afaik Alien and SC are only available in the gold rewards.

What happened? I contacted RSI support and they told me it was just a ship, has something changed recently?

Oh, sorry to hear. I don't buy new, so it doesn't hurt me that much
You thought a lot about this, hah. He could sell and just by games for himself as well. He doesn't have that many.

Exactly the same situation here
But after talking to Iosefe I will give SE3 at least a chance, but I will think about Star Citizen all the time during playing it

It is the whole game now it seems.
Not Pure enough!
More or less, but I wouldn't say it's indifference. Sure, Amazon was undercutting Steam with regularity in 2012, but this wasn't Tony's silver tongue -- it was Amazon reducing its own cut in order to secure mindshare. I'd say 2013 was a "test year" of Amazon chiefly if not entirely relying on publisher-approved discounts and seeing how the cookie crumbled, and with people generally just sticking with Steam and GMG/GameFly, there was a refocus, hence the foray into the Android market and, to a lesser extent, the PSN store.
A reduced revenue cut isn't an ideal long-term strategy. Even GMG has stepped away from 30% discount codes almost entirely (just two so far this year to the best of my knowledge, excluding the Aussie Tax code), not to mention Playfire Rewards being incompatible with discount codes and the value of the rewards themselves dropping notably.
the poll was actually my idea. originally he was up in arms between raffling them and selling for something like Witcher or D:OS, but i mentioned other cool games people wanted, such as Korra

Good thing Valve has such good CMs, I've seen you post here constantly, and that jshackles guy also brought them a lot of money with his work.
Coincidently, what is it with Valve only hiring people named Jason as their CMs?

If you're looking for Alien Isolation, the russian version got cheaper so you can get it for 14 euros.

at this point, probably not.
Nope, it's region free. Not the Nostromo edition though, that was only available as prepurchase and copies of it are going for double the price of the regular version.
No it isn't

So they changed it huh, interesting.
They didn't, it was always region free.

Wasn't there supposed to be an alien campaign for broforce? Is it canceled or coming later?
I think it's been on every CryEngine game since Crysis 2. At least Crysis had a odd unexpected ironic EA Sports thing going with 'Maximum Game' seeing as they were the publisher and all.
Woke up this morning and...
lol. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing
Is it? Is it though?

The game had me as soon as they showed off their clothes layering system (not joking). Ingenious.
Badly.
I'm pretty sure the answer is 'badly'.
(Also Styx packages confuse me. I thought it was download only, why is there a RU Retail package?)

As far as I know, the devs are still working on the alien levels
You guys probably saw cdkey sites I'm guessing. Yes, steam keys require VPN for activation. But only steam keys. The version you buy from the Steam Store is region free and always was.

I was on steamtrades, the trader also said it was locked.

This site showed it was locked as well, it open now.

I hate it almost as much as I hate the how True Achievements lists stuff on their timeline.
"Parsnip won 3 Achievements in Dark Souls (PC) for ### points." Uugh. Glad I don't use that site anymore.
Hahaha. Hey they have to hook 'the kids' in somehow. By telling them that they 'achieved' something it might just brighten their day. I could go on a long winded rant about under performing children and their parents cussing them down for not amount to anything because 'video games' but that might hit a bit too close to home
Then again I love achievements and such so I'm one to flipping talk.

That could've been the problem then.
Oh well, i still have the game. Waiting for it to turn dark before starting it.
unlike all the Walters out there
To his credit, he got there in the end!
Oh wow:
The game unlocks at midnight here and assuming a compression factor of 25%:
I was right on the money, haha.
