One of the few times I wish I was an American

 

[Pakkidis]

I was wise to go crazy during the summer sale. I knew the Canadian price would hurt us.

Question. Will the prices change if the Canadian dollar matches the US dollar or is that just wishful thinking?

Thanks for the giveaway man. I've been meaning to get this. If I don't win this. I'll most likely buy it anyway *fingers crossed*

It has happened before, so I would hope so. Though I don't believe our dollar will match the US dollar for quite some time.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Ugh, the Canadian dollar is here.

Hopefully they'll at least modify the prices if the Canadian dollar gets higher.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Damn, can't find anyone from Norway selling the Final Fantasy games or Nuclear Throne.

 

[Teeth]

It appears Capcom loves Canadians. Everything is in the same price as the American store but in Canadian dollars. Thanks for the 10% discount from your laziness Capcom!

Also, back catalog Ubisoft titles appear to be equivalent price too. Not the new stuff though.

 

[drizzle]

Pricing mistake in Norway.

All adult swim games are also 80% cheaper.
Edit: and Kentucky Route Zero

 

[Self_Destructive]

I was just about to pull the trigger on AC3, and then it disappeared... wtf?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

So how much are FF8 and Kentucky route Zero in Norway in $?

 

[Shade]

Any Canadians figure out the conversion rate on the dollar for the steam wallet? I had some cards selling in the store so I am not 100% sure what my account was at before it flipped to CDN but it looks around 11.6% increase.

As per the message on Steam

Canadian accounts with Steam Wallets in USD have automatically been converted to Canadian Dollars, at a conversion rate dictated by market value at the time of conversion.

I believe it's at 1 USD = 1.11637 CAD currently

 

[Shadownet]

Is it the new Shadow Warrior? or the original one?

If it is the new one. If someone can help me get that and Final Fantasy VIII for me I would appreciate it!

 

[Pakkidis]

Did Valve give a reason why they introduced Canadian prices? Did they have to comply with law?

Why ruin a good thing Valve.

 

[r3n4ud]

Price hasn't converted to CAD yet, I guess.

Pubs wanted to charge us $69.99 on new releases as per retail.

Van Helsing 2 pricing error has been fixed.

Has anyone managed to actually get those prices? Because see my posts, when I got to the checkout they changeg.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Surprised that I was able to run Alien: Isolation maxxed, 60fps, and 1080p on my PC.

Specs:
Phenom II x4 940 (clocked at 3.4ghz)
Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost (2gb VRAM)
4gb of RAM (clocked at 1066)
Win 7 64

Kinda gives me hope for running The Evil Within decently, despite the recommended system req.

I'm just listing the games that are on my wishlist that have pricing mistakes. If you can actually buy them at that price, I don't know..

BTW, those are the ones. I can't bother to search for more.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

So, my brother is getting kicked out of games whenever I'm on now.

Is Family Sharing really supposed to work like this?

 

[mrgone]

At least they don't appear to be charging tax yet, but I wouldn't doubt that at least GST will be there eventually.

Based on publisher's set prices in places like Australia I don't see them adjusting it down again unless there's a total flip and the Canadian dollar's at better than parity for a significant length of time.

Stay strong, 3rd party sellers.

 

[Ozium]

jawmuncher beating up poor gendo ikari as little mac

 

[Oneironaut]

You're definitely not supposed to be able to play games at the same time with family sharing. I thought it only kicked other people off when you were playing a game, and not just logged in.

I'm sure that can be worked around by putting your account in offline mode.

Are you trying to Game share? Cause Family Share =/= Library Share

What do you mean by "on?" If you're playing another game at the same time, yes.

After a minute I'm gonna just be happy with it. I rather pay in CAD than it being converted by my CC co. for USD.

 

[Self_Destructive]

Price hasn't converted to CAD yet, I guess.

That's what I figured, but all the DLC has been converted.. Out of ALL the AC games, AC3 is the only one not converted?

They trying to do me a favor? lol

 

[LurkerPrime]

Thanks to the C$ conversion, at least I won't have to worry about spending too on Steam now. Humble and GMG will almost certainly be offering better deals...

 

[Turfster]

If he's playing games in your library and you start a game, yes.

Wait for the GST/HST. I'm sadly sure it will come at some point.

 

[Consequence]

Wait for the GST/HST. I'm sadly sure it will come at some point.

This will definitely reduce my purchase frequency if it happens. I hope we get a heads up so I can use any wallet money before then.

 

[Shadownet]

I see people selling Enslaved for like 2 keys. ROW copies. legit?

http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/226257719

 

[Tellaerin]

Wow. Did 2k license the same face generation tool used in Shadow of Mordor?

...now you have me wanting a basketball game in the vein of Space Jam, where a bunch of NBA players have to play against a team of Uruk-Hai. >.>

 

[Corpekata]

It's on a weeklong sale for 5 USD, so 2 keys is not an outrageous price. Most likely legit.

 

[Faabulous]

So, I've decided to try this home streaming thing with Dark Souls 2. It runs fine, but for some reason it doesn't recognize any of the DLC when I stream it to my laptop. Weird as fuck yo

Anyone has the same problem?

 

[Dimitri2401]

http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/226257719

Isn't the game $5 now? This is almost the same as 2 keys, right?

3.64 USD in Brazil.

 

[Atraveller]

GTAV PC will be $45 in south america and $60 everywhere else

max payne 3 style

For real?

 

[DTKT]

I'm canadian and we just got hosed on Steam prices. I can say for sure that I will spend less.

Heh

 

[Deitus]

...now you have me wanting a basketball game in the vein of Space Jam, where a bunch of NBA players have to play against a team of Uruk-Hai. >.>

I'd play that.

 

[Sini]

Wishlists just got a new blue design.

Edit: Actually quite a lot of community pages got blue theme now.

At least it's bringing us all together in our communal suffering

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Bull. Shit.

 

[Levyne]

How does playing two games at the same time on the same account on different computers work? I thought it worked like family share but learned my brother was playing something on my account at the same time I was. Thought it was weird.

 

[MUnited83]

Bull. Shit.

What exactly were you expecting? If it could be played by every account of family sharing at the same time everyone would just make groups of 5 people and divide the cost between each.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Yeah, this defeats the entire purpose of Family Sharing.

 

[Turfster]

Did he own the game on his own account or was it f2p? That's pretty much the only way you could both be playing the same game at the same time.

(I don't know if you can be logged in).

You can.
Once you actually start something, it'll give the other guy a warning and a set time before it kicks him out.

 

[drizzle]

I'm quite confused about this conversation.

What does "game library share" mean? That's a different thing than Family Share?

Family Share is the service that Valve provides that allow you to share some games of your account with somebody else's account, and they'll be able to play the games while you're not playing any games (I don't know if you can be logged in).

I don't know what "game library share" means.
