Maybe all the Guild Wars 2 buyers who didn't get their keys did chargebacks or something. Too many of them in a short period of time might have set off alarms at Visa.

Any idea when GMG will be free from Visa's blacklist?

I imagine whenever someone at VISA HQ takes a look at the issue and unlocks it. It was probably locked automatically as part as an automatical anti-fraud procedure when a lot of people charge a place back in a short period of time.
Mmm i just waiting for the Steam Sale and Alan Wake is on Gamers Gate, Binary Domain on Amazon...
Pull the trigger? im only have 25 usd for the sale(was 60 but there was the tequila fest in Tijuana...and....)
PD: Mission 10 on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for PC, maaaan I'm masochistic i have 14 hours of very hard difficulty and their bugs..only two missions to finish it XO I'm the one who has played until the end?

whats the story with your avatar, what does it mean
It's presumably referring to the £7.6bn of revenue Amazon has made from sales in the UK in the past three years, the profit of which they've paid precisely zero corporation tax on.

thanks, that was an interesting read, so they owe a disgusting amount of money to HMRC
i've given this company a lot of money, but i have to be honest they don't disappoint whether its delivery or customer service or returns - still not an excuse for this though

Hopefully soon, that 25% deal is a must.

This is not a statement I read in the Steam thread very often.
Lack of summer sale has people going bananas!
I do believe it's 25% off on top of a 20% pre-order discount.
[edit] For sleeping Dogs at least, Hitman: Abs is 10% off already.

I reinstalled steam (moved steamapps out of the folder and then moved it back after installing). And now this happens when I right click Steam on the taskbar.
dis sux ._.
When I remove those from the list they are replaced with games that do have icons, I'm not sure why it's doing this but it's annoying.

It should fix itself automatically in a couple of days.

It's more on newly released games that won't get any discount in Steam summer sale (e.g. Endless Space).
I wonder if Steam will price Witcher 2 at around 9 bucks too like in Nuuvem. Too bad that Nuuvem temporarily closed purchases from outside Brazil.

Have you right clicked on each of those games and verified them? You need to do that if you move the steamapps folder and then reinstall Steam.
Awww, that's too bad. I got Total War: Shogun 2 from them for the equivalent of US$5 in Brazil reals.

you could use cc cleaner to get rid of the start menu items.I reinstalled steam (moved steamapps out of the folder and then moved it back after installing). And now this happens when I right click Steam on the taskbar.

They closed due to having paypal scamming it seems. They're planning to fix it.
And yeah, too bad really.
I'd expect it to be cheaper. It won't be much cheaper.. but with how frequently it goes on sale, and for how much it's usually discounted, it's a safe bet that it'll be 75% off as a daily.
There's no risk waiting to see if it's discounted in the summer sale. It goes on sale so often, I'm sure it'll be $10 again.

Yes, I verified the games and tried cleaning start menu items with CCleaner. Hopefully it fixes itself.

Do not forget CecilRousso.
Plus the games costs 1,01€ (or £1.01) but was sold for 0,74€ (or £0.74) during Winter 2011.
When you get down to 1.01, it doesn't make much difference which currency it's in.

Clear you Windows Icon Cache. Do some googling. Pretty easy fix. I have to do it every once in a while.

Every single thing about Binary Domain is amazing. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard both with and at something before.

Thanks. Fixed it using a .bat file. I tried deleting the icon cache file and restarting before, but apparently that's not the right way to do it ;p

The daily indie bundles have been posted already, not sure about the rest.

Two days and a half ago.
Edit: And PaulLFC is more accurate than Reddit which posts about Adam's Venture Complete Bundle Retail as a summer bundle, which might be wrong. No evidence. The bundle was added to Steam with episodes 2 and 3.

If the sale ever starts, I'm looking for a game that's perfect for listening to other music while playing. I've just recently been burned out on both WoW and Diablo 3 and now only Civ V remains. What other games should I keep my eyes open for?
Audiosurf?

And Beat Hazard. The two most obvious choices.
Dotaaaa
The various Paradox interactive grand strategy games (Europa Universalis III, Hearts of Iron 3, Crusader Kings II etc.) are great for that purpose. You can also put your own mp3s into a folder to get custom radio stations for the 3D Grand Theft Auto games. Mount & Blade: Warband is pretty good too for listening to your own music while playing.
Yeah. And I would say try the demos for both. Audiosurf is more universally loved, but I just can't get into it. Beat Hazard on the other hand I love. They're definitely different style games though.
