EDIT: I've also always been a bit annoyed by the fact that Relic didn't include the Cataclysm expansion for the first game, but it was developed or published by a different company and we couldn't get the rights to it or blah-blah-blah. Whatever, I just think if you're publishing a "remaster" you could at least include all of the content available for the original.

Catalysm was developed by another company and the source code itself was lost, much to the developer's grief and fans' anguish. This has been discussed to death last year.

So ya, sorry man... no Catalysm for this generation and for many to come.

The Hardcube dev is listed as the publisher, so I called them out on it in their forum.

I have nothing to gain from this but I'll be damned if I let those idiots rob you all of your hard-earned +1s!

So far so good on my new rig. Should've sprung for a better mobo, it'll probably be the first thing I upgrade down the line. Downloading the Doom demo to see how it runs.

Get over to the CAG Show your build! thread in the abandoned PC section and show your build like some of the other CAG brohs have done. The rest of you need to get in there too so I can see more builds and find more ways to add stuff to my system.

He'll get a visit from Friendly Pancho. Yeah. That'll show him.

Who are Vooyah and PinkPanter? Both added me after I posted that FREEDUUUUUUUUUUMB message.

Edit: Uh, wait, I think PinkPanter is one of the devs of that game. :eek:

You sure PinkPanter isn't one of your furry buddies? It sounds like someone who wears a pink furry suit and does things that, err, make him pant.

I thought it was someone trying to pull a prank, but he seems to be in the Steamworks group and his most recent game is this one, so.

He also has Madjoki added. What is going on

 
Do the developers have such power over Steam? over Steam's customers?  :drool:

Imagine this, you've bought a game (said Call of Duty from Activision) and due to dispute/disagreement between the developers  and their publishers (Infinity Ward and Activision), the developers (Infinity Ward) can revoke your keys?

SERIOUSLY? 

All of you bickering about +1 but no one raises an eyebrow or lift a finger to file a complain to Steam about this criminal act by which your rights were violated?  :drool:

What happened b/t the developers and publishers is their own problem and should be taken to court when one side is wronged.  Why in hell the consumers got their products ripped away from their account?  :wall:

1: Infinity Ward can't do shit to Activision. They got paid.

2: These guys are in Russia, good luck getting anyone to sue them there.

3: Valve got their card pennies, why should they care?

 
In non-shit indie developer news...The Girl and the Robot is out soon and has a page up on Steam. This was in the first Indie Gala Greenlight over 2 years ago and, in a somewhat-surprising twist, we're getting keys for it.

Actually kind of looking forward to playing this. Getting PS2-era vibes from it, in a good way.

You don't own your steam games, you're just renting them indefinitely; or until someone decides they don't want you to have it anymore.

That was a whole lot of "you already own this game". Right up until I hit the last one when I got "too many activation attempts". Which of course, will turn out to be some AAA game.

I salute you sir. That was a highly effective troll.

Most EULA's you agree to - whether on Steam or elsewhere for games (and often, for software in general) - do, more or less, spell it out that you do not own the product; you are paying for a "license" to "use" the product, more or less.

By being on Steam, you have already basically agreed to Steam's own EULA known as the Steam Subscriber Agreement (SSA):

http://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/

Basically, you "subscribe" to a service here (Steam). So, more or less, whatever you have on Steam - you have rented a product...for the time being. You really don't technically own anything here.

Keys get revoked, you lose your license. That's DRM, if I've ever heard of it.

Section 10C of the SSA talks about Revoking. Like most legalese - it's often vague and there's tons of nonsense language thrown it - yes, just like your typical MysterD post, more or less - so they hope you just skip the important stuff, agree to it blindly, and move right along anyways.

Basically, what's stated is this in SSA 10C: Valve can revoke anything at anytime. Purposely vague about what publishers and dev's have for power there, as it's not really spelled out at all. So, I'd guess any of this could happen: if Valve agrees to a request from either the dev, publisher, or both for revoking - well, then history will be made. [shrug]

As much as I love Steam for its great features that put everyone else trying to cobble together some kind of so-called Gaming-Service Program to shame by a mile and whatnot - yeah, at least with DRM-FREE versions, as long as I can keep my files stored somewhere, my game is still mine. It's just a matter of getting it running, if the game gets old & whatnot.

Steam service is far from perfect, but sadly at the same time it is the best online/community service for pc gaming that can be compared to be better than psn or xbl for free.

Too bad steam does not offer DRM free copies along with certain purchases.

Right? He could have spent $13,000 on games, but instead chose to do something even more trivial and useless and crafted badges for levels. What a moran.

Are games you only buy for +1 and never play any different than badges?

Badges are more useless?

But you spend money on different color palettes for F2P MOBA games, so I don't expect you to understand. ;)

Vooyah? Some jackass that was adding some CAGers to his steam friend list. The timing was merely coincidental.

I don't own the game.. sorry, you have to get someone else to fight your battle, man...

But that was pretty B.S. on the developers' part. Whatever beef they have with the publisher should be dealt with between them. Dragging us into the drama is a poor show of judgement.

Weiler, Reds and I played some Blood and Bacon.  And by some, I mean two hours.  Probably best .99 game I've played.  It's a wave shooter so after probably wave 30 things get a little repetitive.  We got to Wave 40 and I have to call it a night.  Very happy with the game though.  One of those mindless fun type of games.

I saw you had a bunch of mutual friends with me, but I wasn't sure who you were since I didn't recognize your name.

Edit: So the HardCube dev is blaming "Fourinon Union", a Russian publisher, for obtaining and distributing the revoked keys without permission. I already told him I think he's full of pink shit.

How did they even get access to the keys if they're not listed as the game's publisher on Steam?
