Huh. The Wolf ROW is non-crossregiontradingandgifting, but that just considers everything but germany (and possibly russia and asia) as one region, right?

Russia gets the ROW version too when buying through the Steam store.

A toy, where I could play as the Nazis as good guys is not equal to shooting Nazis with them being the bad guys,
but that's our dear politicans, and therefore laws, logic for you.

The fun thing is that you can shoot Nazis in games without a problem, see http://store.steampowered.com/app/210561/ for example. They just can't wear hats with swastikas on them. *g* Yep, it's a bit dumb.

I did not care for it much. It's painfully "my first unity project" in a lot of respects, the story really does nothing special and all of the platforming segments are floaty and miserable. 2/5 at best, and that's me being generous.

Imagine if you will a third grader trying to recreate a kubrick film with hess trucks and plastic army men and you've got about what Lifeless Planet is like.

Shame. Thanks for your articulate response, very helpful.

playfire rewards are weird man, it already gave me the rewards for 2 of the star wars games, but not all 4 that i did earlier (all one after the other), or for other games I did earlier

/shrug

I often get odd reward values for my achievements (sometimes higher, sometimes lower than the stated values in the blog). I think I've come out ahead because of it though, so no complaints here.

Bought a Broforce four pack when it was on sale, but I only really wanted two copies. I'm selling the remaining two each for 3 TF2 keys and 1 Summer Adventure 2014 Card of your choice (should add up to around $6.80). PM me if interested!

When rewards don't show up after a couple of days, I send a message to support. They always have gotten me my credit. It usually takes a week or two for the credit to show up and a real person to respond though.

Is it actually lackluster or do you already own most of the games?

That's the problem I've had with the last few sales - I already own the usual games that go on sale. I should hold off buying things for a year or so to reset this.

the scores are so close. Shame we had to wait for the final day for this kind of fight (apart from the glorious duel between purple and red on day 2)

I only want to get my free ultra sf4 and then Ill never care about those rewards again when it goes back to 0€

Have you checked hidden deals? there are so many of those this sale, overwhelmingly so, and some are really good, often better than what's on main page (><)

Has anyone ever played Waves and can say how it stacks up to Geometry Wars? I'm kind of in the mood for that type of game.

Watching the scoreboard for the daily race today is crazy, with the teams swapping spots non-stop.

Repping Team Pink, we already got ours twice, so a 3rd win would just be icing on the cake...pink icing.
 
Pretty lackluster Summer Sale, honestly. Sure, I picked up a lot of great games for cheap, but this is probably the first Steam sale that I haven't spent a load of money on. Don't even get me started about the cluster fuck that was the Summer Adventure game.

Ugh.

Picked up:

Brutal Legend
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Deponia
Dishonored
Gone Home
Long Live the Queen
Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
Payday: The Heist
Sid Meier's Civilization V
State of Decay
Zeno Clash 2

Will probably buy Shadowrun: Dragonfall while it's $5.99, but I have plenty of time to decide on that.

I was thinking the same thing too, then I realized I had bought several of the midweek, weekend sales over the last few months that I normally would have waited for the big sale. So if I take those into account, I have gotten quite a few big name titles, just spread out over more time.
 
Not since EA have I seen anyone rewarded so heavily for making a broken, awful game. The people who made Bad Rats are far more fortunate than they deserve.
