Nice, that's like 90% of my beef with some of the local co-op games on the PC these days. When you have four players waiting you gotta have some fast and easy way to set up all the controllers from game to game.

with Outland coming "soon" are there any other xbla/psn games we can hope and dream for?
Personally I'd rebuy the following on PC in a hot minute:
Castlevania Harmony of Despair
Shadow Complex
Puzzle Fighter HD
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD
Garou
N+
Snoopy Flying Ace
I know most of these fall into the "not a chance in hell" category but still... stranger things have happened these days.

Except you forgot the current dota 2 scenario. Hundreds of thousands of keys still around that were bought at 2.49 from the store that will eventually expire next year.
They killed it, and they already reaped the profits from those keys.
Was this mentioned yet?
Indiegamestand has a Cubetractor + Dustforce deal if you beat the average

in for Castlevania HoD and would add TimeSplitters Future Perfect
I'd pay over £100 for a new (or old) TimeSplitters on any platform unless it's on mobile or f2p
They removed them from Dota 2 so they could have the game in China(a huge market for Mobas). I don't think CS:GO or TF2 will get sucessful in China anytime soon.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
True, but "killing the grey-market Steam economy" probably didn't factor into that decision at all, since TF2 and CS:GO keys are still available for that purpose. I guess they could do away with TF2 keys as long as CS:GO keys are still a thing, but I doubt very much they would actually get rid of their key economy completely.

Who here knows about Project EGG? It's an online distribution service for old Japanese PC games, much like how GOG sells old DOS games.
Some reference information if you're finding this post through search:
EGG uses a launcher to play games you own in your Amusement Center library. So yes, EGG uses basic DRM, the launcher can only run in Win 2000/XP right now (any ActiveX-compatible environment). You also need to pay a subscription fee before buying games at relatively fair prices (nearly everything's down to 500 yen + tax, about $5 USD). Any game you buy and play at least once through the library is yours to keep and never lose, and you keep your most recent version of the launcher with that. The launcher will only update if you're subscribed, though updates are rare enough.
The terms and conditions of registration note that all transactions are processed in Japanese territory. Foreigners can and should buy games through the services to support what remains of the old Japanese PC devs and pubs; you can use PayPal or international credit cards.
Few games are translated for English speakers (everything Bothtec and Compile has released on the site), but there are plenty of action, puzzle, and strategy/sim games that only need a basic level of Japanese at best.
I theorize the subscription fee's in place to guarantee a basic revenue stream for lesser-known EGG affiliate rights-holders (more people will buy Square's back-catalog than that of Xtalsoft).

Putting this here because I think there's audience...never seem to get a response in the GOG threads

You think? Get rid of the keys in the free-to-play game, and only keep grey market keys in a game you have to pay ... for ...?
I was about to say that's asinine but that's actually brilliant.

Dude, it's an error card! It's worth more!
Well I guess I'm done with trying to get Steam working on my WinXP machine since none of the countless tricks have helped (but thanks to some of you here who tried to help). The only thing left at this point is reinstalling OS and I'm not going to go through with that any time soon. Time to dive into my GOG collection, Desperados
here I come!

Jeez, that game's pretty old, but shit, I'm glad more Japanese back catalog stuff is getting released on PC.

2 monitors, one running the game, the other with the Twitch chat window opened

If you don't have two monitors, you can stream on Hitbox.tv and log into the dashboard via the overlay.
Yes. Despite CDPR playing around with ACRTAG it's never actually been region-locked.

That's one hell of a setup.
I don't got the room for that if I ever decide to do that.
You can't have like an ipad or something on and just disable the video?
I'm watching Parfaits as I wait for that to start.

That's great. Lol. It's like Serious Sam 3 that would put the enemy in level one that couldn't be killed, and did shit tons of damage.

The trader almost always sell these keys on market, so actually another +$2.89 in that case.
Scott Pilgrim is my most wanted PSN game. I haven't bought it yet, so I'd jump on a Steam version day one.
ooh now it looks like one of those hipster indie games!
