seriously....its been two weeks and its the same shit every day
It's amazing how fucked the store is since the first sale day.
Agree. I have so much less faith in Valve as an entity the more they do this.
Doesn't make much difference. IMO they have purposely pulled SteamSpy down before anything else is available. There are several reasons they may have done this, but GDPR is definitely not it.
It is against the terms of service to make money from that data, but also Valve have their own duty towards their own developers and protecting them. Valve hasn't interjected and even actively supported SteamSpy, until a point ages ago, where Sergey tried to charge a subscription for analytics. They forced him to leave it free. Whatever changed between GDC and now for them to actual actively prevent SteamSpy from being functional is interesting. However Valve blatantly lying about it, is whole egregious and obvious. After all the spiel about "don't lie to the internet", they are doing it more and more often, and never truthfully addressing these things.
Also true, but only because it isn't anywhere near as feasible to do in other industries
Valve don't sell adds or marketing (one of the few platforms to have such a stance) so they get nothing from that.
As far as "upgrading servers", that isn't very likely to be the issue at all. They easily already have capacity and capability, but as with most storefronts like this, I'm guessing there are reasons to not always be so ready to handly rapid influx of users, eg DDOS protections
Also, I found using Steam via the web was far more successful and speedy than the client. No idea why that is / was. Server issues are definitely a thing though this sale
Happy 4th, Fellow Comrade Amerikans! I wish everyone a happy final day of Steam Sale.
But.
I'm just too exhausted.
oh my god so good.
I want to make a joke about this.

Saliens is over.
This much exp (twice mine), and no boss. Impressive.
I see this a lot. You are not abusing free trials. When you sign up you give your data away and companies like Amazon begin tracking your every move within their ecosystem. This is valuable to them. Not to mention that many who sign up for these trials won't remember to cancel them or will decide the benefits are worth their while which is a conversion metric they can track. Free trials drive business otherwise companies like Amazon would have scrapped them ages ago. The old adage is true nothing is free , especially when dealing with businesses.
I remember when many had similar sentiments regarding Netflix trials. Netflix is doing just fine and still offers trials.
Others are right that Prime is pretty big in the US. It's a great set of games they are giving away especially if they are drm free once you download them from the client.
Not everyone cares about achievements,etc in comparison to being able to play a few games for "free". I assume no steam keys for now because their client goal is set up to focus around and stream to twitch and in the future they want a more gamer centric storefront streamers can push sales thru.
Interesting to watch but I don't see why anyone would be confused in others showing interest.
As long as developers are being compensated for their content, options are a good thing.
Have you played it? Is it any good?
Meh. It's alright.
This is honestly really good advice.
I don't think it's even that, since most of the "game" was client side I believe, which is why it's so easy to script.
This much exp (twice mine), and no boss. Impressive.
nah valve bug. says 48 bosses now. (52 in total maybe?)
More like taking advantage of free trial. If they give free trial and it gives free games, that's on them.
It's once per account.
I somehow ended up with more games on my wishlist than before the sale.
Nothing wrong with buying Singularity.
Reinstalled it yesterday and played for a few minutes. The performance is definitely better than it was when I last played it (March). Up to 90FPS in the countryside but drops to 55 in towns (1080p; mostly high/ultra settings; GTX1070).
There's been a thread on it recently: https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-whats-the-consensus-on-kingdom-come-deliverance.52346/
I didn't use any scripts, boss battles showed up as gigantic ! alert symbols randomly? (but im sure someone will correct me) on planets that ended up giving several million XP a fight that basically XP boosted you. I went from lvl 9 to 10 to 11 etc and I only did 6 bosses fights and I stopped bothering with doing normal missions since it would take like 300+games to even make a dent in the level bar
Wow this PC recreation of PT is pretty good and comes really close to the original PS4 teaser: https://www.pcgamer.com/pt-for-pc-is-a-faithful-recreation-of-the-worlds-creepiest-corridor/
This scene is still a big nope moment for me lol:

The whole point of sales now is feeding you the discovery q and it doesn't work for shit even with scripts, yes I have a problem with that.
Concerning steamspy who cares if certain nier game sold 3 mil units if they never fixed it, I'd take 100 copies sold globally and it works like it's supposed to.

I used a nodejs script yeah.
Already had nodejs installed from something else so it ended up being a simple thing.
Someone will just fork it again.
maybe that means they are hard working on the client overhaul in the background. Beta this summer?
