News Comments > Steam Holiday Sale
12. Re: Steam Holiday Sale Dec 20, 2012, 14:01 El Pit
 
So, based on the current price reductions, UFO, Dishonored, and Sleeping Dogs will be 50% off just like Borderlands 2 and the latest Hitman game. Nope, can wait for those to hit prices under $20.

But it sure looks like Max Payne 3 will be 75 % off before January 5. I'll bite!

0% off of FarCry 3 - it's too new. Well, I can wait. Even a year or more.

So it'll be only one of the top 10 games on my wish list that I'm going to buy. No problem - I still have to play Skyrim and others!

The markets will prove that Smellfinger is right. E-readers are the dinosaurs of the portable computer market, simply not versatile enough.

I really like this game. Was a steal at $5 at a Steam sale. It's a bit rough around the edges, but has a great atmosphere and makes you plan your movement/advance cautiously. Don't expect a fun but dumb on rails shooter like Painkiller or Serious Sam!

Oh, and Valve: make sure there is a sticker "Optimised for Keyboard and Mouse" on your box. Either that or NO SALE! Deal

I want the "Thriller" DLC NOW! Where you, in the very end, moonwalk to the obnoxious godlike kid and tell him, that there's another passion that you share with late Michael Jackson. And the kid starts running. Fade to black. Great ending, I tell you!

Ehm no. Steam regional lock is publisher choice, not Steam choice. So if you tell steam "no regional restrictions" and you only sell 1 version of your game, then everyone can play that version of your game, no matter where they are. Sales in Germany might not be allowed then, but buying via 3rd party (GMG / Amazon, etc) is perfectly allowed.

The reason Steam enforces the German version is because the publisher made a German version and enforces it specifically for Germans. Again, 100% Publisher, 0% Steam. ^^

Secondly, the real issue is that Steam has STILL no age verification.

Buying it from other sources won't help if you won't be allowed to ACTIVATE the game on Steam with a German IP unless you ignore the Steam ToS and use VPN, risking your Steam account. Therefore - don't risk hundreds of games, seek alternative ways.

I'm not blaming Steam. I'm blaming OZ and German governments and the publishers lacking balls to allow the game to be activated from Germany via Steam.

The funny thing about this is, all the germans do is order from anywhere in the EU, austria if they want the non censored 'german' version.

Some steampowered games can no longer be activated on Steam with German IP adresses, so ordering a non-censored game from Austria or Switzerland is not always a solution. VPN must be used in these cases or, of course, if a company refuses to sell its game in a country, I think it's alright to pirate the game. It's about the only legit reason I can think of to pirate a game.

"Kasdan, Kinberg To Pen "Star Wars" 8 & 9. The pair join Oscar winner Michael Arndt ("Toy Story 3," "Little Miss Sunshine") who is writing the script for the upcoming "Episode VII"

I'm getting excited. I didn't think that was possible for this franchise anymore.

Yeah, Disney seems to do this right. I'm hoping for a good director. Heard that David Fincher is on a short list (good!), but so is Joe Johnston, too (not so good). If I was a Disney top dog, I'd ask Chris Nolan, or David Fincher.

I think it will be released right after the pc port of Red Dead Redemption, which means... NEVER.

I'd rather prefer somebody who could bring some more adult and dark tone to Star Wars. More character driven drama. Chris Nolan (Prestige, Inception, Insomina, the Dark Knight movies), or David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club), or Alex Proyas (I, Robot, Dark City). But this won't happen, because the Neckless Beard won't allow any director he couldn't completely control to come near his (yes, STILL his) Star Wars. I've just watched an interview with Darth Luca$ and Kathleen Kennedy, and Luca$ is still in control of everything. This does not bode well for the sequels... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EBuOHM51YdI
Most likely we'll end up with Rob Cohen or Brett Ratner as a director under Lucas' control.

Guys, go and give your vote to your candidate. People have given their lives for the right of people to elect a president, people are still risking their lives to secure this right. Don't give it up - go out and VOTE!
