The Mac apps I'm curious about. This is the first time the Civ4 games will have been worked on in yonks and so it may deemed appropriate to ditch them in favour of rolling the data and config info into what's presently just the Windows app, like every other SteamPlay game that isn't part of the GTA 3 trilogy.

Maybe because someone had a chance to build a bundle... that would explain that there is no bonuses.
didn't they have those before, community bundles, they all had bonuses, as far as I can remember.
Let's hope you are right, though
Cheers for Race Injection!

That is a very good one, and I would recommend you - and everyone else - to give it a try as it should deserve more attention.

They had before. Wasnt a really smart move though, since often the Games as Bonuses were Greenlight Games that shortly after got greenlit (when Steam opened the floodgates).
Thanks for Ignite~
Urrgghh don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
So downloaded Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes during the night and thought I'd give it the quick 5 min boot for a net gain of 20p only to be greeted by a dialog box "Failed to contact key server". Checked the store page and there's no message on there saying Steam are out of keys. Lots of grumpy people on the Community Hub but not the old forums with a multitude of problems but not resolutions. Checked my connection and all is good and can retrieve keys from other stuff I haven't launched yet.
Now I play the waiting game to see if Support will get back to me by Saturday.

Ajay is so confident in his selection of RPG Maker games that he doesn't need a bonus game!
Also, Microsoft just sent me a papercraft birthday cake I'm supposed to print out and tweet to their support as proof so they can send me a happy birthday tweet. I feel so rewarded as a customer, especially considering it's not my birthday.

They had community bundles with sending in games etc.
But i think its the first time where one guy from the community was in charge for making a bundle.
Revenge: Rhobar's Myth looks like the only game thats interesting in that bundle.

Also http://www.gamelengths.com/
And a couple more that extimate the amount of time needed to finish all of your Steam games library
http://www.steamcompletionist.net/
http://steamplaytime.appspot.com/
I really hope this means that the Mac versions of Civ4 disappear from my library! >_>
somehow forgot about this site, I'll try that, thanks
ya, I bought this bundle for Revenge: Rhobar's Myth, seems interesting and I never heard of it too.
Noooooo my Mac play time will disappear to! I actually think I've played twice as much vanilla Civ IV on Mac than all the PC variants of Civ IV on Windows.
Edit: Actually that's a pack of lies as it's currently 22 hours on Win and 7 hours on Mac.
It's baffling that Valve hasn't just updated Steam to look to the oslist flag of apps to determine whether or not to show them as this would fix the issue without 2K having to remove them. My game count remains the same and Mac versions disappear from the Windows client -- everybody wins.
Incidentally, it's fantastic. Don't let the fact that it has already been bundled to death alter the perception of its quality.
Early Access game 50% off? Not sure how to feel about it and more importantly how previous owners of Dream feel about it. Isn't the point getting early, watch it grow and later releases will cost a bit more? Here it's flipped, you still get to experience the game at WIP but paying way less for that.

Nothing really new. A lot of early access Games had a discount before, whether it was sooner or later.
:\
and steam told me I had 24% completion rate
What exactly does it mean for Civ 4? I mean why add steamworks now? Isn't it sorta too late?
Speaking of Dream, it's the second game I've noticed that has gone up in price without the developers stating this would happen as part of the Early Access pitch, which I don't like in the face of the vast majority of other developers being upfront about such intentions.
Steam's completion rate represents the average amount of achievements you've earned per game (games you've not played aren't factored into it),
CivIV uses GameSpy for its MP.
Edit: Bah, forgot to switch tabs.
wait, Dream went up in price? When did that happen? I haven't even noticed. I was considering buying it, when it was added, but decided against it, being EA and all. I thought price will drop over the time, not go up.
Looks like there are 184 Early Access games at the moment.
I wonder how many games have are fully released after they have been in Early Access. Can't think of any right now
Games are usually cheaper when they are an EA game. The price goes up when they are fully released
Edit: EA games that are released:
ARMA 3
Betrayer
Blackguards
BlackSoul: Extended Edition
Don't Starve
Ghost Recon Online
Insurgency
Mercenary Kings
Sir, you are being hunted
State of Decay
The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot
War of The Vikings
I add more when we know more

It went up a couple of bucks ($14.99 -> $16.99) back in March. The other game I referred to is Kenshi ($15.99 -> $19.99).
I haven't been keeping track, but ARMA 3 was the first to leave Early Access.

Don't Starve is the only that comes to mind. Saying that Klei's other game Invisible Ink is going to hit Early Access soon and is already in alpha if you buy it from their site so the rate they go through changes that might be two very soon. I'm sure there are others.
9 games so far! Keep 'em coming!

On a maybe related note, how long did Gmail stayed on Beta?
A little over five years (April 2004 -> July 2009).
Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
BlackSoul: Extended Edition was in Early Access and then was fully released.
Not necessary, I vaguely remember that some games went out of paid EA being f2p (><)
That's why I said usually
The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot was a paid EA game but and turned into f2p game
There are some games that get cheaper after they leave beta/EA. And there are also some games that get more expensive when they leave beta/EA
I can remember HAWKEN limiting beta participation to only folks who had bought that crazy expensive rewards tier package but went back to open on release. You can understand why as they didn't want to get swamped during testing.
The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot did something similar didn't it?
Which reminds me: buy Blade Symphony people, it's goddamn wonderful.
Gianni Merryman

I know nothing about the rest of the games but The Cat lady alone is well worth the price of the bundle.
Yeah, it had a few tiers ($20, $40 and $100).
I suspect Blade Symphony will die pretty soon. It has a 39.6 player average on Steamcharts. Not gonna bother with multiplayer only games unless they are really, really cheap. Learned my lesson from War of The Vikings that I preordered and it is already dead despite being a few weeks old
