The ROW sub isn't region-locked. I'd guess he meant that the loophole traders were using to buy it at the RU price has been closed.

Hmm, so those copies that were purchased and then traded on to buyers - are they safe?

I haven't played Penumbra yet, but I can assure you: Amnesia will terrorize you. It is extremely scary.

Damn it. If there's one word I don't want to see before scary, it's extremely :[

Little plot summary on the Irrational Shutdown:

- I need to refocus my energy on a smaller team with a flatter structure and a more direct relationship with gamers

- I’ll be starting a smaller, more entrepreneurial endeavor at Take-Two

- parting ways with all but about fifteen members of the Irrational team

- new goal: To make narrative-driven games for the core gamer that are highly replayable.

- To foster the most direct relationship with our fans possible, we will focus exclusively on content delivered digitally.

Sounds like digital only is a move to a more regular update cycle for their individual games. With narrative gameplay that is replayable in mind, this could be amazing.

Naturally, having a more direct relationship with fans and digital only sounds like a jump to the steam bandwagon.

At least thats some good news in a way. Best of luck to all of them

Yes. Ubi couldn't lock down the ROW sub without royally screwing over many of those who have already purchased it, and indeed every past instance of a publisher retroactively region-locking a region-free sub was later reversed for this very reason.

Absolutely loving doing this Backlog Blitz as (admittedly very late to the party) I'm discovering a ton of games in my library that are actually really fun to play. The latest game is The Witcher.

I sort of wonder how many games are just sitting in libraries on Steam never touched and totally neglected, which are actually really good games.

Wow!! I won RUST! Thanks CosmicQueso! I have a pretty big giveaway planned for later today or tomorrow to give back to the community.

Thanks again
 
Already own Dust and Giana, but I've been wanting Swapper for a while now. Time to finally pounce. Guac's alright too, but I've never really had that much interest in it.

Already have both Dust and Guacamelee 100%-ed, but The Swapper fuck yeah. Curious about Monaco and the rest too.

What an awesome bundle, shame I have them all bar Antichamber which I doubt I would play.

You should though, it's a great game. The non-Euclidean geometry is more of a gimmick, the real draw are the abstracted out puzzles. It's one of those games where you understand a new mechanic and you're the running around to apply it elsewhere.

Incredible bundle but I own everything there :(

In fact I have beaten all tier 1 games.

I'll wait for the new games to be added but I'll probably buy the bundle even if just for the soundtracks.
