Almost certainly that's the case. I just looked up Infinite Warfare and Activision have that locked up tight
You can't even gift IW if you have a cd key of it outside of your region, period, even in traditionally ROW countries

Yah, they had some nice experimental projects and good deals.
Nowadays they are just the bog standard key store with an annoying Google auto-translate bar lol
Games that were only direct download could be traded in for store credits
Happy Birthday!
Oh yeah while I'm at it.
I want to share my brother a single game but I don't want him to access age-restricted or VAC-protected games from my library.
Is there a way to do this? I stumbled across the "Family View" feature of Steam but their site was more confusing than helpful. I know how to share a complete library using Family Share but that's not really what I want.

Family Share is either share everything or nothing. There is no feature to only share a particular game

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Right now organizing the Halloween Sale topic, I've been writing up a lot of quick things on a number of games, but I got to thinking I can take one of two approaches. I'm using my subjective opinion to recommend a number of niche horror titles, but I've tried to give it broader strokes to include more games I even thought were just on the lower end of good since opinions are subjective, and I did think the game was good and worth playing. I've been taking that approach to give a larger selection more exposure, but maybe it'd be best if I narrow my selection more to games I personally want to recommend more, either because way underlooked or some games I thought were very good and great?
Basically I'm asking if I should make a broader selection of recommendations based off of titles but I could still recommend, or if I should narrow it to maybe a third or fourth of that of games I'd put above the rest in my personal recommendations (though it's my subjective opinion and all). What do you guys think?

Basically like steam refunds, but you're not limited to two-hour playtime or two-week purchase maximum. However, they only give you a dollar or two in store credits, and you have to play the games through GMG's own client. No wonder why it didn't pick up.

i think Toma's approach with the indie games thread works well for recommendations. Generally I like to get a broader list of titles and look at the ones that stand out. I think its enough for you to write, I really love nightcry it's got problems but charm, rather than like get into the sound design or specifics.

That was my original thought, and hearing someone else say it does help clarify. But I was getting to some games where I was like, "Well, I did like this, but did I like it enough to really recommend it?" But people can think for themselves, so thank you. I'll try and go for the wider stroke approach then, I think I just needed to hear someone else's thoughts since I've been spending hours shuffling through my own to forge the list. XD;

should do a broad list but then add a note that it would be something you recommend

This also helped, you just inspired a last minute dorky idea. See it it goes.
Highlight only what you think are the best horror games available (pictures, write-ups and the likes) and put links for the rest of the interesting stuff. Everything is subjective, I'm sure people will post and highlight other games you might have only mentioned, as it usually happens with those threads.

Happy birthday!
I've linked this video for years on SteamGAF. It really helped me get a handle on the mechanics. I think you only have to watch the first 20 mins, and then you can ignore the rest if you wish.

Did you not read my post? It's only three sentences fam.
There's also a clear breaking point where he says the tutorial is largely complete and he is just going to play out the game.

Maybe he applied the same technique and read the first 5 words and then skipped the rest.

Do Steam copies not have cloud support? I booted up my RSC copy and it uploaded my save.

just to be sure, there's absolutely no way red dead redemption is going to come to pc in the near future, right? i've got an itch to buy and play it again on the 360

Wouldn't say never but with RDR2 coming Fall 2017, at best it could come after that. Doubt they'll do a RDR Remaster simultaneously to release early next year either. Sucksibn Saïd;221882135 said:

The Ocean House Hotel is such a great little location.
I'd say it won't happen, but who knows?
Happy Birthday!
Apparently, the game's code is a mess, making it extra harder to port it to PC.ibn Saïd;221882135 said:

Anyways, curious if anyone seen this or this happened before
Never seen a game having a release date labeled as "Someday" l0l
As far as I know, developers can pretty much write whatever they want in the release date field. Here is one that is to be released "when the world ends".

A big problem with this line of thinking, at least from my POV, is that companies tend to use the sledgehammer approach when addressing these issues. Even though the people abusing the system are typically a minority, things end up getting changed to "protect" against their actions, and it's always to the detriment of everyone else. Some people are abusing an offer? Fine, we just won't offer anything like that again - "consumers" have shown that it's a mistake. Or we "need" heavier DRM. Or more onerous restrictions on consumer rights. The scammers scam, and everyone ends up paying the price.
So yeah, if a lot of people end up doing this kind of thing, I wouldn't be surprised if Beth just decides it's too much of a headache to ever do this again and starts charging for all remasters. Problem "fixed". (And for the record, I think the way Beth handles DLC pricing absolutely sucks, and that it's the real problem here. But people doing the buy-and-return on the DLC to get the HD upgrade won't drive them to fix that issue.)

Loaded up my steam wallet with 200 bucks. Let's buy some shit I'll never play!
