Hrm, tempted to buy Dragon Age:Inquisition GotY edition, although it's still $30. Also tempted to buy Titanfall Deluxe, although I'm sure that game is completely dead by now... and no single player campaign, hrm.


If somebody doesn't own the Tomb Raider reboot by now, it's on sale for $2.99 on this Amazon sale, easily worth 4-5x that price.

Yeah, I noticed the Steam Store was down, but was out for Christmas most of the day. Checked my balance and credit card linked to the account and didn't see anything suspicious. Love that Steam customer service though. No mention that there is a problem, no update on when to expect things to be fixed, no explanation of any type for their loyal customers who are all literally in the dark (due to the store being nothing but a black screen right now). If we are lucky, they might even mention there was a problem that was now repaired, but they most likely won't mention anything about the security issue and if there are additional steps we should take or things we should do like change PW, check funding accounts, etc.

Was it possible to actually do anything with someone's account? From what I understand, you could see their account info (though important info was censored) but you couldn't actually change any of it or buy anything.

Sounds like all you could see is a cached page for the person, so you could see their email, other info, maybe some parts of their credit card number, etc. Probably not much to worry about, although I've heard stories of experienced ID thieves being able to dupe customer service reps with just personal info like your address, email, name, last 4 of the credit card, etc., and it sounds like some of that info may have been available. Plus, you were supposedly only affected if you were browsing through your account today.

Damn, too bad and thanks for the link. I haven't even made it to OOTB yet, saw this Amazon sale link and I was history!

I've been trying to use limited gift cards as a possible way to prevent too much carnage, in case of hack attack. I saw clearly, it was defiantly Steam mobile code being injected.

Yeah, they're fucked. K has an article, I posted in today OOTB. I could see two different peoples email addresses, and while I could only see the last two digits of their stored CC numbers, I'm assuming the "add funds to my wallet" link would work (I obviously didn't try it).

edit: I'm net seeing any pending charges on my account, but I'm pretty sure I've used PP for steam purchases for awhile now (just in case something like this happened).

edit: K says steam has now closed the store.

Great deal, nin!

Is Steam getting hacked right now or is it me? Everytime I try to type a game in Search, then try to click it "Steam mobile" code gets injected causing FF (up to date) not to be able to read the address. In case it matters, was checking Dishonored page (from the front page, typed search).

Between existing psn credit ($9), a 20% off code, and an amazon card I got last night, I got Witcher 3 and the season pass for...$5!

Damn, anyway I try to get to Amazon's PC Digital Downloads, it's 400 pages! I really miss that list we got occasionally from Reddit. It was just a strait list down the page no icons, separated by each date what was going to be on sale during the holidays.
