I don't know if you're trolling, but if you're not, that's a really fucked up attitude. Indie developers need your support more than a major company that has the financing to deal with a flop. Your money isn't going for some sort of "reward", it's going so that they have a roof over their heads.

Am I the only one who thinks Cortex Command sucks? I can only get it to run in a window (not fullscreen) and the game isn't finished.

I think one important lesson is to never do business with EnronLackey, who sounds like a horrible landlord. Ordinary wear and tear is specifically not what the security deposit is for. In many states it's illegal to use the security deposit for that purpose.

I know I'm a little late, but hopefully this is still helpful: A lot of your questions are likely to depend on what is in your lease. Do you still have a copy of the lease? I can second most of what kodave has said, although most states make light bulbs the responsibility of the tenant by...

I'm adding a lot of the links to my friends list. Feel free to do the same to me: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971059805/

I certainly wouldn't just blindly trust any deal; always do your own price checking. But because of an unrelated price drop being combined with this 50% off, I ended up getting a good deal on two games I was planning on buying anyway.

I'd never order from site like that, but I'm curious what games you got. What's the ratio of real games to filler?

Nice! This must be a recent price drop, I thought I looked earlier today and it was still like $39. Thanks for the tip!

Well poop, I want to order Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP, but none of the other stuff I want to buy qualifies for the discount.

It doesn't look like you can register Spore with Steam unless you buy through them. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

It might not make a difference in all cases, but in the case of Spore, they specifically went with Steam's DRM rather than what was released at retail. http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-10128408-235.html

Anyone know if there's a way to buy from Amazon on the cheap, but then register the copy with Steam so I can install with them, rather than SecurROM?

For anyone who doesn't know, Colonization is a whole other game using the Civ 4 engine. It takes a little getting used to, but it's a lot of fun. The other two are just expansion packs for Civ4.

From the comments so far I take it that they've never released a patch removing the DRM?
