Wait, Bioshock remastered didn't count as a +1? Sure I'm just happy we got it for free of course.
They're separate apps.
The short version is that they do some things better, other things worse, and retain almost every PC-specific bug from the original releases. For more info, peruse this thread.
Some bugs in the originals are in the remasters, which is just sad

Even though they are separate apps they don't count somehow. I know that beucase I've being monitoring my counter for some time. I had 497 games and was wondering what game would be my #500. These remasters were supposed to increase my counter to 499, but they did not, therefore I'm still at 497.

Ahh okay. Yeah I agree there, the finer details are hurt do to the bloat. You basically nailed the big problems I had with the story as well.
Didn't increase for me either. Had 825 games before the remasters, and 825 after.

Next time you register a key your game count will increase by three.

It was far too fetch questy for my tastes
Then again I'm not much of a fan of FO4 really anyway
So it's the japanese version of Spore?
Does it have anything approaching the story and action of Far Harbor or is it a much smaller thing?
The gameplay is as theme-parky as the setting. You go to five different locations, each with different enemy types. I felt like it was really combat heavy. So many red dots..
I think most all of the sidequests are collectathons. One of them does have an interesting payoff though.

What's the cheapest Steam Link has been? Kind of interested in getting one now for living room, could play some 2D games on big tv and don't have to set up laptop every time, I swear I saw it for at least -33% at one point so not that keen on paying full price.
Steamprices doesn't seem to track hardware prices, any alternatives or someone with enhanced steam know if that shows it?

Oh, that makes sense. This means that the profile page counter only refreshes when I buy / register something. Since these remasters were automatically added to the library nothing changed yet.

People realized they were still BioShock and went back to playing good games.

Watching GI's post-review test chamber fore ReCore is just brutal. At the end of Jeff mentions that it took him 10 hours to get to the final dungeon, but he didn't beat the game for another 10 because every floor was gated by experience and item requirements. (A running theme throughout his time with it) After some point after scouring the world over and over again for what he needed (and dealing with load times that he clocked at upwards of two minutes for some areas), he kept questioning whether he should complete it at all. The core combat doesn't really change over the course of the game and... it's not good.

There are games that predate Spore in the species evolution concept.
I've been trying to disable my Bio2 licence to verify that for myself, but alas the help site is busted. The request just times out.

I got the Bioshock remasters added to my account but my game count has not gone up?
Someone here said the game count would go up by 3 the next time you buy something.
It'll refresh itself when you add a new game

Perfection.
That doesn't seem to be the case. I just bought the Indie Gala bundle mentioned above and activated a key but my count only went up by one.

It's how it's always been as far as I can tell. After the remasters were added to my account I activated a key for Bloop Reloaded and my game count increased by three.
The same happened on the 13th after Clash was added to my account (New Reality Games Subscription). When I activated a key for Ace of Protectors, my game count increased by two.
It was the same with Reset 1-1, Fall of Civilization, Radical Spectrum: Volume 1, and numerous other games in the past.
EDIT: Titan Quest Anniversary Edition is another recent example. My game count didn't increase until I activated a key (Hack Run ZERO).
I realised after posting that I added Digital Homicide's free music players to my account earlier, which may have triggered a game count increase. I was going to edit this in but didn't want to get in the way of ModBot and potentially undo an edit.
Not according to ITAD. Speaking of, though, WinGameStore is still selling Steam keys.
Edit: D'oh, forgot to switch tabs.
