why, oh why, would you feel sorry for him? feel sorry for his partner, sure, but him?

Because the antisocial behavior he's displaying is a sign of a greater problems. Social, psychological, whatever. No one wants to walk around with that kind of baggage, and it's sad to see those mired in it and untreated.

Yup. It was - It's the same guy that refused to give Steamcodes to people that'd bought his game through both Groupees and... Uh, I forgot the other bundle. First he stated that he'd never agreed to giving Steamkeys for it once it was released, then he stated that he'd given keys to the distributors of the bundles, and then, only then, did he relent and actually give out said Steam keys, after playing the victim for a long time, he ofcourse pretended that he was a good guy, a knight on a white stallion, giving free Steam keys to the less fortunate, you know, the ones that bought his game with the promise of Steam keys.. :p
He's a narcissistic arsehole with an unending supply of lying and angry twitter tirades.

He's also the indie dev that was recently talked a bit about for assaulting his ex. I believe he put her in the hospital, if I remember correctly.

- - All in all, he's kind of an asshole.

See the above, heh. But yeah, he's often gone out of his way to be an asshole to customers that had problems, bugs or complaints about some of his shady dealings and feature-cutting and all that jazz. :p

Eww, the guy looks like to have some anger management issues, he should seek professional help.

Ah, I was wondering what the tweets on the previous pages were about. Seems pretty bad. :/

Posting for new page.

I can't fathom how a guy, who says this game was his life's work, ends up screwing everything up so badly minutes after it's finally on sale. Like, control yourself if it's that important to you, did he seriously think he could go making death threats and get away without repercussions? This whole thing is so:

Didn't you stream Alien at first? If so, did you finish it off?

no, I started playing TEW and it grabbed me more, and was still enjoying Styx more than expected too, so I focused on those 2. Lack of checkpoints in Alien was doing me in, more so after playing TEW (which proves you CAN have a horror game with checkpoints and its still tense)

Im pretty sure 2 games beaten out of however many you have downloaded isn't good math.
I want to see 7 games beaten this week.

youre not the boss of me! also thats not going to happen, you will see 1 more game finished this week, and that is Styx >_>

I actually can't talk since I have 56 games downloaded on my HDD that I probably for sure won't beat by tthe end of the year.

We are very excited to announce that next month it will be possible for players to migrate their Dark Souls: Prepare to Die games, saves and achievements from the Games for Windows Live platform to Steam.

  • Games for Windows Live users will be able to redeem their Games for Windows Live Tokens on Steam to get Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at no additional cost. (To find your Games for Windows Live Token, please head to the support webpage.)
  • In the month of November, there will be a period by which Games for Windows Live Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition users will be able to transfer their Save Data (characters + progress) and Achievements over to their Steam accounts.
  • Players will still be able to use their Games for Windows Live Tokens to redeem the Steam version of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition at no additional cost even after the migration period ends; but game Save Data and Achievements transfer functions may not be available.
  • Games for Windows Live Rankings will not be transferred to Steam.
  • The specific migration start and end dates will be available soon; however the migration period will begin sometime in November 2014 with more specific dates to come.

We will be sharing more information soon regarding the migration process soon, so stay tuned!

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
It's crazy how you can screw your carrer so easily over so little, some good sense would had went a long way.

He clearly has anger issues. Just a little bit of forethought would have stayed his hand, yet he went on a twitter tirade instead of talking to Valve to get his situation addressed. People make mistakes, including Valve, but today Mike made the bigger mistake by a mile.

You just don't go around threatening to kill people, not face to face, nor over twitter. He just wasn't thinking.

Absolutely, it's why its important to set up this type of PR rules before the release of a game.

I hope he has a period of self reflection that allows him to seek help and then pick back up afterwards.

My sister is currently having PC trouble as well and i'm wishing the same thing.
Especially since it's hard to fix something when you're hundreds of miles away.

Most components have a 3-5 year warranty, so there is a good chance you can send it in and get a free replacement.
 
No more GFWL, fine news!

Buy pre-built :p
 
no more GFWL for dark souls is good news , now i would like that they removed GFWL from bulletstorm and gears of war

that will probably never happen :(

Is there any way to get a Gaf username change? I'm just now realizing that nobody else has a number at the end of their username. And the only reason I do is because I tried to make an account before with just MattyG, something screwed up with the email confirmation, so I made a new account and just threw 344 on the end there. It's probably a stupid reason, but that damn number bugs me so much!

I always ask Nirolak. He has been very speedy with the requests.

Does anybody know if the Steam client uses a cache? Like if it keeps forgetting you're using the same computer? I know clearing the cache on a regular web browser helps, but what of the client?

Jshackles, you might have some insight into this, but if anybody else knows, please feel free to jump in.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Wait, so how much are my Paranautical Activity keys worth now? $50-$100 yet?

Since it was bundled at one point, there's going to be a hell of a lot of keys out in the wild. The only precedent here I think is Cryostatis which had the good fortune of actually being a decent game. It's gonna take a couple of years I imagine...

What you're looking for is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache\httpcache (by default). Clearing all of the subfolders and files from this folder is functionally equivalent to clearing your browser's cache.

Wait....there's a non-steam PC version of Dark Souls Prepare to Die or what o_O - I bought mine off of Amazon last year (Redeemed on Steam though).....so does that mean I will lose my game if I dont redeem this random magical token from a place I never knew existed?

So you're saying I should only ask $40?


Since the game just hit Steam today I'm guessing Humble and any other stores probably are fully stocked with thousands as well.
