    Okay, we need to get this ball rolling again.

    At $6750, $7000, and $7250, the individuals who cross those thresholds get to pick what the next 3 games in my backlog (see here) I have to play until beaten before I can play any other games (excluding for when seeking card drops :P)

    Heads up for shmup fans, the rest of the indie cult classic Alltynex series has finally shown up on the Steam store. These games are less danmaku/bullet hell and more straight up STG games like Raiden. This stuff has been available other places for ages, it's great to see the series finally complete on Steam. On the plus side they have been updated to include steam leaderboards and cheevos and such. Hopefully they'll get cards, there is a lot of really killer art from this series that could be put to good use there.

    I feel like I would be awful at it, but holy cow Distance looks gorgeous. It looks like Blur and Tron had a baby.

    Yes, yes please. That does look amazing and has been wishlisted.

    They need to license the Tron soundtrack.

    Wait. Wait wait waiiiiiittt a minute.

    I recognize that game.

    Shit.

    I played it a PAX After-party! There was a setup in the top floor of this bar. It looked good then but seeing it with even more polish is remarkable. Awesome to see the change over time.

    Sigh. Guess I'll hope for a discount during the Winter Dale.

    I swear Square is the worst at porting things. I feel like they get it running successfully one time and are all, "Good job guys, ship it!"

    I don't have any problems with 13. It runs pretty well and fps are stable considering my pc is really low spec.

    You'll get a confirmation box. Prior to the patch a few weeks ago, you got no box.

    The system requirements seem to suggest one of the games is Murdered: Soul Suspect.

    Stable as in it stays at 60 and never dips? Because generally just doing an attack like Blitz in battle brings it down to 40ish for me, even if I'm running the game at 1080p or 4k. Can run it absolutely cranked up or really low and it'll never solve some of the FPS drops in battle.

    It's still playable, but it has no reason to fluctuate like that given it doesn't seem to use a lot of GPU or CPU.

    I really only had a problem with the last level. With all the things moving on the level, and no real way to change graphical settings to make it not drop as many frames, it took a while to get through it. The last level was mostly a slideshow for me.

    EDIT: But then again, my GPU is over 4 years old.

    If anyone needs anymore convincing to get Distance, I'd like to toss my two cents in as a Kickstarter backer from 2ish years ago.

    If you like racing games, get this game. It's very much like the Rush series from N64. I haven't played since the alpha build before Steam access, but what I have played is very very fun. The game speaks for itself(and reviews are so far overwhelmingly positive) but the designers are really what I'd like to push. They're extremely transparent and are honestly an inspiration to me for when I start updating/blogging about my own stuff. These are the kind of people we need creating games. I've gotten countless weekly(sometimes bi-weekly) kickstarter emails with updates on various additions and I've taken the time to read each one when received. Not only are they one of the few developers delivering on their kickstarter promises, but the product they are creating is kick ass as well. They are awesome.

    P.S. Writing a negative review for the sake of lowering the review score is dumb. At least have negative criticism instead of praising the game you're telling people to not buy.

    Huh, just got a full refund of the Lara Croft purchase from Gamersgate. Fortunately, thanks to remote desktop, I've already activated they key.

    Steam doesn't usually deactivate games, so I guess I'll see what happens.

    Good luck to those of you who got that price error. The last one they had, they removed the game from people's Gamersgate libraries relatively quickly, and announced they would deactivate the keys, removing them from Steam accounts. Took a bit longer for that to happen, more than enough time for cards to be idled, but they did indeed take the games back from Steam accounts.
    The game that time was Warlock 2, by the way.

    Ehhhh. After seeing the feeding frenzy that was Dead Rising's price error, with people buying multiple copies for the sole reason of profiting off the error, I don't think this is the right attitude to be taking.

    They did not intend to sell a thing at a particular price, that's the key thing to remember here. This sort of thing is why I got out of paralegal stuff, because I hated seeing someone wield the letter of the law like a weapon in violation of its spirit.

    Eh, I don't know. They can lose a load of money on simple errors like that, and someone's going to pay for it in the end. I think anytime you get in on one of those, you should be grateful if it sticks and unchagrined if it doesn't, provided they refund you without issue.

    I could see both sides, but I agree more with this as long as customers get their money back.

    Ideally, I would find a way to make these sort of pricing errors beneficial to both the storefront and the developer. Sort of like momentary flash deals or something where first so-so orders go at a hugely discounted price but as more people buy them the less discounted they become. Kind of like how Humble Bundle does it with beat the averages but with a larger decrease in discount as orders increase. That way stores are selling more copies of games and getting increased ad revenue from more people f5-ing their site for deals, and devs are getting their product in the hands of more people.

    Then again, I could also see that these sort of things just happen and distributers aren't sure why yet.

    @The Brayster‌ pulled up next to me in a longboat and lodged a copy of Mount & Blade: Warband dlc in my spine! The totally awesome looking Viking Conquest. It was made by a team that made a fancy historical mod for Warband. No not that one! The other one, the good one. Brytanwaldenhallastein or something. I only heard about it, never played it but it is supposed to be fantastic. And hell, I managed to have some fun playing around With Fire & Sword so yeah, this should be great.

    Thanks Bray!

    I get where you're coming from, but the customer did nothing wrong here. The store shouldn't have the right to come into my PC and take things away from me. They made a mistake. It's unfortunate for them; I get that. Maybe in the future they implement new procedures to protect against boneheads doing boneheaded things.

    The reason it makes me mad is because this is pretty analogous to me going into a grocery store, noticing that a thing I like (saw Multi-Grain Cheerios because I'm a boring grown-up) is selling for 1/3 the normal price which is, I don't know, $2 instead of $6. I load up my cart with 10 boxes, go to the check-out and am happy that I'm flush for cereal for the next 10 months. I'm going to be right pissed if 3 hours later King Sooper guys come to my house, raid my pantry, drop $20 on the counter, and insist that we're square.

    Hell, I didn't even buy one and I'm offended that they're revoking keys after issuing them. Nobody hacked their servers and changed the price - they offered it for sale and people took them up on it.

    See, that's where we differ. You say the customer did nothing wrong, but you didn't actually think that the price was the correct one did you? You knew there was an error and you took advantage of it knowingly.

    Funny you mention grocery stores in relation to this. Not too long ago there was an error with EBT where the cards had an "unlimited" amount on them, spurring people to literally clean out Walmarts until the error was fixed. The government didn't come to their homes and take their food though, they identified the ones who had abused the program and dealt with them. It was the system's error, yes, but the ones using it knew better and chose to do it anyway and were punished for it.

    Price was as-is. You think a consumer did something wrong by buying something at a stated price, regardless of their cognition of whether it was a mistake or not? That's silly. And EBT, as a government program that is run by tax dollars, would of course be much more restrictive, and not nearly analogous to consumers taking advantage of a pricing error.

    I don't know exactly where my line is. Finding out that my credit limit is suddenly infinite with no interest charges isn't something I'd dig. Hell, I pre-paid my cell phone for about 6 months even though Cingular (remember them?) forgot to send me bills and insisted I didn't owe anything because I knew the day was coming when they'd pull their head out of their ass and insist that I pay for the services I was getting.

    There's a reason I used the Cheerios as my example. Just 2 days ago I bought 4 boxes for $1.50 because the store was running a sale and I had a coupon.

    Price error though? That's on the store. Particularly for digital games that are regularly discounted deeply or (in the case of GoG and Humble) geven away wholesale. I wouldn't honestly be surprised if somebody offered a brand new game for 50% off just to get me in their ecosystem. Hell, Sony gave plus subscribers Binding of Isaac: Rebirth on release as part of their service. It's not the customer's fault that Gamersgate has such lax procedures that nobody double-checks prices before they go live or that two people missed the same mistake. It's not the customer's fault that Gamersgate took a while to fix their error.

    I don't know what the law is (and clearly it's not what I think it should be), but if you list a thing, and I can put it in my cart, make it through the checkout process, input a key into Steam, and download and play the game, I should be 100% confident that the game is mine for good and nobody is going to forcefully yank it back from me.

    I wouldn't begrudge them taking back the Osiris key if they do. Some of those retail rules about pricing are there to protect consumers from shady business practices. I think the coming into my home and taking the thing I bought from analogy doesn't entirely equate anymore. I mean we're already basically buying licenses to play games that have all kinds of weird "You don't own this" issues.
    And I like many other knew that was a mistaken price and not a legit sale.
    It also wasn't an attempt to underprice something and drive traffic to their store in the hopes you'd buy something else once you were told that price was incorrect.

    Yeah, as much as I can see their point (mistakes can be costly), there are plenty of other places which do honor them and it just makes them look bad.

    Just checked, Gamersgate have pulled the game from my account with them (for anyone who hasn't used them, they keep a "My Library" of the games you've bought from them on your account).

    However, I've received no email (yet) about a refund and the game is still in my Steam library.

    As a consumer, it is not my prerogative to make assumptions about their business decisions; mine is but to purchase quality goods at competitive prices. That they aggressively undercut the competition is not a cause for concern on my part, but a reason to make a smart purchasing decision. The relationship between consumer and retailer is adversarial, with each attempting to gain the better "value" from the transaction.

    And while I get that software is wrapped up in strange "license not ownership" issues, that is also due to the adversarial relationship between consumers and retailers. "Ownership" is better value for a consumer, while "License" is a better value for a retailer. This may sit on the spectrum in favor of the retailer currently, but societal shifts in opinion and retailers willing to trade off some of that value for customer loyalty (see the history of digital music) that needle can also move.

    Basically what I'm saying is, it's up to the retailer to price their shit correctly, and if they goose over people that purchased goods from them at that price, then they'll only serve to push consumers to other retailers that will better respect their advertised prices.

    I dunno, I don't think the mechanism of the sale is itself solely legitimizing. I don't fault anyone for jumping on a mistaken price (lord knows I do it), but I don't think there's an equal right of entitlement as a normal transaction, so like...I just don't think there's a right to outrage if $60 Dead Rising 3 for $1 was rescinded, for example.

    But then I also think it's kinda dubious to pitch a single penny at a Humble Bundle even when the sellers accept that in the offer, so I can't really rouse anger at people who wake up to discover they lost thousands of dollars because their fuck up got war horned on Reddit.

    I would argue that given an intent to offer, at a price which was not, intrinsically, obviously incorrect, the retailer is at fault for concluded transactions. And British courts agree. Accidentally charge a £2000 TV at £20? You can argue the consumer was aware there was an issue, and in UK courts, likely rescind the order. Charge a £20 game at £7, and you have an issue that the consumer can (and in my case will) argue they were unaware of.

    ...interesting stuff.

    Dutch law on this would center around credible pricing. This is probably a case where sales could get annulled because of the price.

    My real interest is why Steam is cooperating. Especially if it isn't the first time.

    That's the other thing. Deep discounts aren't outlandish on digital games anymore - even for new titles. Hell, I can preorder stuff at a discount. I legitimately would not be surprised at a retailer offering a digital title for 50% off or more on release to attract customers to their service.
