The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Zewp]

They are all on GoG, drm free and optimized. What's wrong with you?

They're not on Steam though.

Printing that out and putting it up above the fireplace.

Super happy about Strife coming to Steam. Night Dive is doing god-Gaben's work.
I'll be able to give my physical copy a viking burial, and as the smoke rises up into the sky it joins Gaben in the cloud~

Still happy but... uh... Those lighting effects are pretty awful. Not just the bloom which is arguably the least annoying thing there, the dynamic lights are kinda too garish. Hoping there's a setting to disable 'em. Considering D1P but I may gird my loins and wait since I wouldn't want to instantly play some Strife anyway.

What's with the "ORIGINAL STRIFE" insistent terminology? Gamefaqs says the only other game with that title is some yet unreleased MOBA.

That is precisely the reason for the terminology.

For a similar incident in recent times, check the Grimoire thread.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

It just seems excessive, I dunno. The wording made me think there was some unholy remake/reboot that is not spoken of among polite company.

Guess this is just an excuse for people to clear out all of their useless cards.

Whole thing is silly, though. Seems it'd be alot easier to just buy the games on sale than to convert god knows how many cards into gems and bid on them.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Haha, the top bid on the 2014 Holiday Profile item went from 170.000 to 250.000 gems in like two minutes.

If it was a bet, I'd be interested, just for some minigame fun...but a straight auction? You'll never beat the obsessed guys with clogged inventories.

 

[Metro]

Stupid promotion.

 

[Siveon]

Honest, some steam users scare the shit out of me. 2000+ games, and only touches Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. If that isn't some form of insanity I don't know what is.

I'm not investing my time in a competition with those guys no siree.

The Original Strife is back!

From Youtube Comments:

FancyPocketWatch:
Mind answering some questions?

1) Do you guys have the source code or did you reverse-engineer it?
2) How did you obtain the rights when the original developer Rogue is dead?
3) Aren't you concerned about the MOBA named Strife or is that already resolved?

Sincerely,
some random twat on the internet who's also a Strife fan.

Cheers!

Night Dive Studios:
Howdy!

1) We are using a heavily modified version of Chocolate Doom. We are working on releasing the original source code from Strife to the community for free.
2) We're working with ex-Rogue employees who retained the rights.
3) We are not concerned.

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Okay that's actually cool!


They are doing some actual new work, and the original devs are getting a cut.
I might pick this up when comes out on GOG.

I crafted 2 cards into 62 gems, then looked at the auction list and decided to ignore the whole thing.

 

[Jick Magger]

I'm not kidding here, for quite a few games on sale it'd actually be cheaper to just buy them now then to bid on them.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I see this, and all I'm thinking is "FINALLY I can get rid of these unwanted things in my Steam Inventory".

And yet, when I try anything, I get...

"There was an error communicating with the network. Please try again later."

 

[BlackAdderBG]

Hehe Valve's games backgrounds and emotes give most points

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Current bid for the "2014 Holiday Profile" - 575,100 gems.

It's official - the human race is stupid.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

Well after cleaning I got 15k gabengold. :kwafuckyeah:

lol and it expire after 1 month

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Buy more cards so you can turn them into gems and get rid of your cards!

 

[BlackAdderBG]

You do not get rid of cards,all cards have value and can be sold.Other shit like profile backgrounds and chat emotes give x10 more gems and are practically unsellable.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Well, I finally got through to the server and managed to convert my junk into gems - 1180 of them in total.

That was enough for me to convert them into a booster back to help me complete a card set I was looking to craft into a badge, which yielded items which I converted into enough gems to help me craft them into a booster pack for the OTHER card set I was looking to complete, and I only had to buy one card to complete that - which led to me getting the same holiday card again (crafting badges now gives you one of the 2014 holiday cards) which I sold for $.20.

So I came out ahead by a few cents and gained a Steam level, cleaned out my Steam inventory and crafted my "to do" badges. All in all, a good night.

And then by accident I found out that you can buy 1000 gems at the market for about $.06

:facepalm:

 

[BlackAdderBG]

OK this will end maybe soon ,but you can craft packs that sell for 0,40$ for 400 gems. .Damn you can make 1 pack of each game per day.

Still somewhere in russia bunch of people are buying gems for 0,03$,making packs and selling them for 0,30$.PoE packs are down from 0,32€ to 0,18€ just in 15 min.

I'll not buy gems and make packs ,bans are coming for sure.If they don't the cost of each card soon will be 0,03€.

 

[stony3k]

I wish I could turn some useless coupons into gems. Those are the main things clogging my inventory
