Haha, sadly, no. :( That being said I'm not actually sure which six games disappear. I was going to hunt them down, but the difference isn't in my installed list, so bugger that.



Sure... provided I could choose seven games I can just buy again afterwards. ;)

Oh no, the -7 is permanent.

What's going on in the first picture? Is the player going blind or is he really really drunk/hangover?

I agree, I probably wouldn't have bothered witch Witcher 3 after I didn't feel 2. "But it's only 15&#8364; and one of the most anticipated releases in the near future!"

So you guys buy TF2 keys from some tf2 shop, and trade them to russians for games? What the fuck, Russians? Why do they want those keys?



and JaseC: How does it feel becoming a father?

the con is extra effective because not only is there the appeal of cheap prices, but also the looming fear that they suddenly region lock it and you cant get it cheap anymore

its the perfect con I tell you! >_<

They're the ones who sell the keys in the shop that you bought in the first place ;)

I suppose that makes sense somehow.

They craft keys in game, sell them to me for €, then buy steam game keys and trade to me for the keys I already bought from them which they then resell to me ad inf... ?

Only just released recently that my Playfire account e-mail is different to my GMG e-mail and that's why I can't spend my credits.

I just asked support to change my Playfire e-mail but they have responded saying apparently they can't do it right now, but some merging tool should be deployed shortly.

Sigh, I suppose I wait longer then.

Keys can't be crafted in game. Someone has to buy it for the first time directly from Valve. After that the cycle begins. You pay them in keys in exchange for a game. They will sell those keys on the market for a profit. Someone else will buy those keys and give it back to them in exchange for a game and so on.

They're just a pseudo-currency really. They appreciate/depreciate in value to an extent and the traders can use this to their advantage.

Coma:Mortuary for 89 cents. Looks nice and short along with really creepy (going by the trailer). Don't really mind that it's considered a walking simulator (seems to be where all the hate is).

gmg really doesn't want me to spend all that credit, that's only reason I can think of why South Park is never on sale.

wait a second while I flip some more tables while thinking about No Man's Sky, and I'll remember reasons why I haven't bought when it was even cheaper!

fake edit: oh yea, it's an episodic game, and this is only one episode.

To be honest, I was tempted by Shadow of Mordor, despite hearing very little about it. The concept seems decent, it's an interesting world to have an RPG in. I'll still wait to hear more about it though. There's always going to be a sale at some point.

Once I'm done with NOCTURNE and Enemy Zero, I am going to play Claire and Long Night and have impressions for you guys. Hopefully before my birthday on Friday.

This is some serious PC masterrace bullshit.

Bu-bu-but the game MUST come to PC!!

What will come will come, what will not will never no matter how much you whine

seriously? It was a bloody PC game, what do you expect from me? to roll over and die,
or buy a console for one game?!
I'll whine as much as I want, stop me if you can. (><)

Well I assume the dev is going to release the other episodes for free for people who bought the game (or not, I may have misread). So I take it that buying this will give me the rest. I might not play it until all 3 episodes are released though.

edit- yep, read the discussion page "We develop a second episode of Mortuary. It will be free"

On more serious note, there are games that really are much better suited for PC and I happen to think that No Man's Sky is such a game.

I more had in mind that it's not a Finnish game.

Actually the opposite is true, since there's no corporate overlord looking over the platform PC players benefit from being vocal about their desires.

And I don't even know what you're on about with that master race crap, Arthea's comment was obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Looks like the current beta client once again plays silly buggers with library game counts: I lose six games when using it.
Click to expand...

dude im not using the beta client and my count is fucked. I had 1885 before, then I activated the indieroyale key for Memories of a Vagabond and bought Mordor and now I have...1886 >_> whut?

Well duh

I thought PC masterrace was pretty tongue in cheek too, since no sane logical person throws that around seriously
