Kingdom Rush on the humble bundle fuck yes!

Don't use Google Translate next time. I know that it translates that message as "out of stock", but I can actually confirm that this is wrong.


Благодарим вас за размещение заказа на Ubisoft. Ранее заказанный вами товар есть в наличии.

in fact means

"Thank you for ordering from Ubisoft. The item you have ordered earlier is now available".

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.
So it looks like Black Mesa is going to be for sale on Steam soon.

Take a minute and let that sink in... then read about it here.

Thank you yet again JaseC.

STEAM 2013 Announcements & Updates VIII: Enhancing Steam, Backlogs, and Grammar

I really do like that this thread has so many different hats and we can enjoy a brief tangent into English grammar, food, places to visit in different cities, British films, and whatever else may appear as conversation. Tis a good friendly place we have here.

The least you can do for someone so generous is to reciprocate with a loving massage. And by that I mean... well you know what I mean.

I got bored when this thread was down and made this for Steam Sale Gaf.

This was going to be for VII but meh.


Both of these are excellent and deserves to be quoted.

Apparently they'll have a gimped free version also available. But...

The free version of the game has been ported to Source 2013. Right now, that version is functionally equivalent to the released version of Black Mesa we released a year ago. When we got on greenlight, we were forced to move to another engine. Right now, we can't tell you what that engine is due to our licensing agreement. Being on this new engine allows us to change how the engine works, modify tools, etc; things we plain and simply cannot do for the free version. I plan to open source the black mesa code for the free version. I also want the paid version to be open source (only client and server, nothing else) but we need to talk to VALVe about that. We want both versions of the game to be as moddable as possible. I don't have a timetable on that part just yet.
 
:/ at least you have the consolation of playing an awesome game! :D

I know! It's too damn addictive and very intense. Especially when you name the characters and you really don't want them to die. It has been definetly one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences in the last few years. It's so simple yet so good. I really hope this encourages developers to continue making turn-based games in the future too.

Without the context of the post, it doesn't actually mean a lot. Just makes it sound like they were removing the original free version and were going to slap a price tag on it. It's like the beauty of taking your news from twitter posts or GAF thread titles.

Thank you. THe header says it's on stock, but the body says it's not, at least according to google translate.

Sure enough, my key was there. Great! Now I really should play Assassin's Creed 2 and every other game. :D

What else am I supposed to use? Also, there's no mentioning of a key being available on the purchase history of your account or anything like that, so... :D

I'm not going to defend them but the mod was great, better than some AAA FPS released this year, that being said it doesn't feel right to charge for it unless they add more value to it.

It sort of means a lot because it's a game that would be technically violating the shit out of Valve's intellectual property. It's a huge step forward for the mod community and another example of how progressive Valve is as a company.

I was checking the deals on the front page and say "Venice" thinking it was regarding the Anno 1404 DLC.

Ugh, I know it was not about that and I knew it because I didn't get a call from JaseC.

I bought a couple of months ago "Borderlands 2 Euro steam key" from Play Asia, and now I can't play it anymore (Play button became Buy).

Since it's already installed, I have it on Steam under category "Other games".

What?!

I've contacted Play Asia, now it's the waiting game...

Anyone else with this problem?

Good that they're still working on Xen. Call me weird but I never had big problems with that part of the game besides the shitty boss. HL1 without it just isn't the same.

And another new game...

God damn it. Went cheap and bought the RU+CIS version of Assassins Creed 4 a couple of weeks ago, thinking i might get lucky. Well fuck that, shit is region locked.. :( Do they ever disable region lock after a while or did i just throw my money away? In that case, lesson learned. Don't fucking buy RU+CIS!

I'd guess that P-A accidentally sold the same key twice the second person filed a used key ticket with Valve.

Unfortunately, you missed the boat on that. You bought one of the new RU/CIS subs that were region-locked from the off rather than one of the earlier ones that were retroactively region-locked (and are now region free again, hence the new subs).

Oh I'm so glad you have been enjoying it so much :D.

I have played and loved an awful lot of games since I got this pc a few months ago but XCOM and FTL stand clear of them all. Both were gifted to me too by lovely fellow GAFers! :eek: I returned the favour with FTL in the Summer Sale by buying up a bunch of cheap copies and ModBotting them away in here. I'm looking forward to when EU is cheap enough that I can do the same with that game. They are both so awesome I would like more people to play them and enjoy them just as we have :).

Sorry to hear that fellow GAFfer. :/

Isn't any possible solution for that?

EDIT: Thanks for DI kind Glass Rebel! :)

So the chance they might disable the region lock on my copy is practically zero? In that case, can i sell the cd key to some russian guy for cheaps? Or is it tied to my account now since i tried to activate it? Sorry for being such a noob on this steam thing.

Not in this case: Valve isn't going to help and since he bought one of the replacement subs Ubi isn't going to remove the restriction since they weren't ever region-free. The best he can do is sell it to an Eastern European user and make most of his money back.
