GFWL strikes again. I can't imagine loosing that much game time and effort. :-(
Edit: Seems I had the train of thought as someone else, haha.

What's the let down? Is it just more of the same? 'Cause I'm okay on paying $5 for more of the same.

Damn, that's the worst. I'd contact customer support. Maybe they'll give you a gift certificate out of pity. =/

Anyone gonna make a suggested last-minute purchases thread? or is the steam-forum thread good enough?
This is exactly why i didn't bite on bulletstorm earlier. Sorry to hear man

Same damn thing happened to me earlier in the year. It completely changed my view of GFWL. Though my four hours is nothing compared to what you lost. :-\

Sorry to hear that dude.
The game doesn't use Steamworks so there isn't cloud saving. Everything is handled by GFWL. Sucks that it happened to you.
probably
Well, I sure can't wait for this to happen to Dark Souls players...

No kidding. That game is being sent off to die, hence its subtitle.

Thank you. I love the game, but that problem was going to make me get the 360 version if it kept up.

It's not a terrible game. Still a bit on the short side, and it definitely hasn't aged perfectly. But I enjoyed it a bit back when it first came out.
There are probably much better choices, if you're only buying one game, though. Even if all you're looking for is an RPG.

Pretty dead. Last time I was on there were only about 5 full servers.
You have just won the thread.Lol, wtf. I went to go check Steam to see what the hell that game was, when I see this:
Now I'm more confused than ever.
Yeah there's totally a demonsteed, you can tend to your animals good&evil style, raise stats in minigames and through missions, race them. game of the century if you ask me.
i've only seen it on yogscast when i liked 'em back in the day
I guess it's too late to tell people to use GameSaveManager and Dropbox for the umpteenth time. Not sure if it helps in such a situation (gfwl profile reset) but it keeps your saves safe in a cloud. For free.
Ouch about the GFWL save file corruption. My DRM philosophy on Steam is as follows:
GFWL: This may make me rage as I spend an hour or two getting a game working, though I haven't had a save file corrupted yet. Currently I put up with it while grumbling loudly.
Tages 3-activation limit: I avoid this like the plague and hopefully haven't bought any games with it. I don't know if there's a license revocation tool though.
Ubisoft always-online/online requirement (Forgotten Sands): Will not buy. I got every Prince of Persia game except the latest because of this. *shrug*

I played HL2 the last time 2004 and really wanted to start the "trilogy" again, but neither have episode 1 and episode 2. I know, its a shame.
I would try to buy episode 1 if I would get episode two and could play the game from the beginning again. Already forgot what happened in the game *lol*
And the best soda, of course, is Sprite

Yeah, everyone should give this a try. It's incredibly, incredibly useful.

As far as I know there's no way to revoke Tages activations. It's definitely one of worst ones out there.
I own the Orange Box on the 360, but I want to get rid of it and get the proper PC versions instead and relive the magic. I have however played through Episode 2 before, so perhaps someone who has yet to play it is more suitable to receive a free copy.
Also as to what's the best soda. Coca Cola, simply because it mixes fantastically with liquor.

Have they fixed you yet? I've been up monitoring this thing since 6am. I've got a cart with stuff that has gone up in price and I'm not getting any answers. They asked me for a bunch of info and I sent that off at 7:14am but haven't heard a thing since. I've been filling the steam support email thread with purchases I'd like to make and the price I expect to pay for them.
Has anyone been reinstated and do they honor flash deals you missed due to them?

I bought a pair of G930's a month ago. They are fanfrickingtastic. Sounds is great, and the programmable buttons are an awesome feature too.

I deserve it because I'm an Alien Ninja who has an Alienware that can run Crysis 2 60 to 80 fps and you are a great man who helped me get a good deal for Super Street Fightet 4 AE.
Oh btw, Sprite is the best soda.
Yeah im buying Evochron. The developer is releasing this big expansion later on that i think will act like a free update or at least a paid update in steam or something...
He released some updates a few days ago. He posts a lot on the forums.

Do you guys recommend Tropico 4?

Yes, especially with Modern Times DLC. It is a good city builder with fun quests.
Just reasking in case it got buried, is this still happening? Seems like the most annoying thing in the world...

Lol, wtf. I went to go check Steam to see what the hell that game was, when I see this:

I've personally gifted the game to about 5 people now lol, though I haven't played it myself. Troll gifts are the best gifts.
Definitely. Great fun for anyone imho -- it's the opposite of a niche game and very easy to recommend to anyone. Also, it's quite polished and non-janky (I'm looking at you Cities XL).
What about Diet Double Dew? Double the dew at half the calories.
