Can anyone help me understand the "popular new releases" tab? I have different games in this tab than a friend of mine.

All right, stupid question incoming: They can't retroactively region-lock the game right? :lol
I mean, if I buy it say tomorrow, and I activate it the same day, it's going to be mine without any risk right?
Sorry, never done this before.
It's RU tagged, so they can. But it has been unlocked for so long, they would piss many customers.

As of late haven't keys been getting past locks?
Pretty much always* unpack.
* check card prices, but you usually get equivalent or better from selling the 3 cards than just selling the pack. And then there's the foil chance.
It's too late for any heavy-handed region-locks to stick, but there have been brief "scares" in the past like Black Flag's original RU/CIS pre-order subs. At worst there'll just be an activation lock, although it would seem CDPR's given up on trying to make that work.
South America falls under the ROW sub (or rather the "NE" sub, which I assume means North America/Europe despite what I just said). Even if Squeenix does region-lock Nuuvem's keys specifically to Brazil, historically Valve hasn't cared at all about people using VPNs to get around that, presumably because it doesn't actually see a cent from retail key activations.

So it's a game about cultists summoning the dark lord Seahorse?
I wonder if that was internal interest or a publisher was pushing CDPR for the change.
Apparently!
Also 4 other Steam games and one GL game, with 3-4 "unbundled" ones.
I don't doubt that the decision to apply ACRTAG in the first place was a result of pressure from Scamco.
Thanks, pre-ordered. No, not because of that, but rather because I don't own the game yet and $1 is a steal.
With Scamco involved I think it's safe to assume they had something to do with it.

I am very afraid of spoilers and avoid them like the plague. On the other hand, I always reveal vague spoilertags because the curiosity kills me. I'm an idiot.
You think that was bad.
Do you have any idea how long it takes to load a program off of a cassette tape?!
Better safe than sorry. The game won't be cheaper post-release until its first sale.
Hmm, not yet, but yeah it will surely become a torture soon. At least the bots do a pretty good job at killings enemies and are rarely a problem to rez. And I appreciate that what I took for a L4D clone, meaning heavy emphasis on mindless shooting, is in fact more subtle than that. You go at it like a shooting gallery, you won't last long.
That being said, while a good idea in theory, the grind seems really heavy.
Knowing my flip-flopping gaming habits recently if I'd had it downloaded earlier I'd probably only played a couple of hours by now anyway so it's no biggie. Though the moment two people try to do any heavy downloading like watching a video or streaming music it all goes to crap. It's kind of like fights that break out when you're having a nice hot shower and someone turns the cold tap on.
The thing about spoiler tags, even if you don't want to look but want to reply to the post as soon as you quote it all is revealed!
Just north of Bristol. The issue is that the exchange here only has about 700 people connected to it and BT saw it as not worth there while. Though after much complaining to the council they have offered a grant to them to get our speeds up to snuff. Though it's taking bloody ages. I should have done what shackles did when he and his family moved and scoped out the area and the infrastructure before making a stupidly long mortgage commitment in this housing market. Not that I had a say in things anyway.
Wait, are you telling to go for it? :lol
That "better safe than sorry" sounds like "what if they lock it and you're screwed". Maybe I'm misintepreting it, ahah.
Looks like The Ship, which can only be a good thing.
I wishlisted it right away when I saw it. It's something I definitely want to play but I've got Grimrock 2 and Rebirth lined up.

I wish steam had a Mexican luchadore game. I'd so gift like 10 copies to my favorite bros + do giveaways. Then when I send someone a msg to fight me there's no backing out. one day the dream will become real

I had no idea that games were played via cassette tapes. You learn something new everyday.
I use spoiler tags to shelter those sensitive from my jokes, they can ignore them entirely and imagine me all serious, wise and scholarly. I think most do just that, judging from reactions.
There's always a chance that CDPR will play around with ACRTAG again in the future. It could be tomorrow or it could be four months from now.
I love not only that the replies were immediate, but that they both lay the blame at the same publisher.
I wasn't sure about the digital side, but CDPR has been open and apologetic about the regional prices and why they are set. If you order it from GOG they usually offset the difference in store cash.
Yes. He is warning that nonCIS regions might be barred from activating the RU edition in their accounts.

got that when it was offered for free to Gold members on XB1...great game
you are doing it wrong, having it on a console is not +1 to your steam game count.
I thought it's still basically the same game, no? with some extras added.

Silly snake, I got that. Plus, how am I going to fight you in that game?
That one early access game is the closest I have(the one that's kinda like power stone)
I know you. I recognise your username anyway. I don't have avatars on at work to help disguise the fact that all I do is browse GAF all day, so I pay a little more attention to names.

Yep, I actually have a cassette drive and several games on tape for my first computer, my C64. The 5.25" floppy drive was always better to use, but sometimes you could only find games on the tapes back then.
How far we've come.

Yea yea that's the one I was talking about, that game looks great! Plus it looks silly which makes it even better! EVERYONE WILL GET A COPY!!(they must play with me at least once tho) we shall wrastle like the olden day dayshttp://store.steampowered.com/app/285900/

Good idea!Can you throw your PC into my head when the game is booted
So Falling Skies: The Game actually looks pretty sweet. Though I wonder if they just licenced the XCOM:EU engine off Firaxis. :v
I wish someone would do that for a Stargate game. Would be amazing.

I had a C64 as my first computer too! Didn't have a cassette drive though, just a floppy one. Good times. I remember going from that to the NES, then the Mega Drive, then the Nintendo 64, the Gamecube, the Playstation, Playstation 2, PS3 & 360 and finally, returning to the personal computer. I'd still happily go back and play Flimbo's Quest on the C64 though. I had it on a 4-in-1 cartridge along with Fiendish Freddy's Big Top of Fun, International Soccer and Klax. Great stuff.
FYI, if anyone is on the fence with Shadow of Mordor, it can still be purchased from GreenManGaming for $37.50 with the following code:
