    It was an accident. WadjetEye only intended to give The Blackwell Deception away for free; not their entire catalogue. Steam is removing the extra games from the accounts affected.

    When WadjetEye's store comes back online, you'll be able to get The Blackwell Deception again for free with the voucher "Boo".

    New HB out but...

    HB has changed their system. No keys now, you link your steam account directly to HB via Steam API and it automatically redeems the keys for you. Screenshot that was posted elsewhere: [​IMG]

    Well, that sure screws everyone who wants to give the games they already own away. It was already against their ToS, but that's kind of silly.

    And there is a WB Humble Bundle. https://www.humblebundle.com/ You can pick up Batman: Arkham City for under $5 if you don't already have it.

    Walmart has a bunch of games on sale for $18 with free instore pickup. You can get the console versions of BF4/GTAV for $18. This mainly seems to be console games though.

    Edit: or if you want to add a few monitors to your pc setup, you can pick 3 23in panels for under $30. http://www.walma******/ip/HP-HP-23X...1161177557118&veh=aff&wmlspartner=lw9MynSeamY
    So I'm guessing most of these orders will be canceled.
    Edit2: in fact the site seems to have shut down. You can't checkout.

    A good chance most of these are price errors that won't be honored.

    I'll host a 4 pack for Payday 2 if three other DLPers want it. $15 each.

    Long Live the Queen is now on steam (in addition to already being out on GoG and the devs site.)


    It follows the story of Princess Elodie and her preparations to be crowned Queen following the death of her mother.
    You guide her, choose what skills she studies each week, and watch as she dies a horrible death. Then you try again, either leveling up a skill that could have gotten her out of the situation or avoiding it entirely, only to find some new way to die horribly.

    Presumably you eventually manage to avoid and/or overcome all the horrible deaths waiting for the poor princess, but I haven't got that far yet.

    TLDR it's fucking awesome.

    There's a trailer on the steam page, and a demo for download on the devs site. It's only $10, $9 on steam right now.
    Links: Steam, GoG, Developers Site.

    With the humble bundles lately, sometimes I wonder why I buy games in any other way.

    Might as well just wait for a bundle and get it for a dollar.

    That would be cool.


    Humble Bundle just launched their store, and a few games are on sale.

    Humble Bundle has become a whole new thing.

    https://www.humblebundle.com/store

    Welcome to the Humble Store. Also, they're now doing weekly things. Have a promo:

    http://youtu.be/kO4KKqTyvDA

    They're having a 'debut sale', for their new venture as a cheap, charity-orientated game trader. Half off everything, as far as I can see.

    Not exactly surprising, this move by Humble Bundle, they've been insanely effective. And profitable. As far as I can see, it's Steam based. A partnership is probable. But still, worth signing up to be involved. Humble Bundle deals took my steam account from $~500 total value to more than a grand.

    On a less bulletin note, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is great fun of an eve, and I recommend picking it up while it's half price.

    Damn straight we are. We'll be using Steam Gifts this year which is why there's been such a big push itt to get everyone on it. SG vastly reduces the administrative burden with organising a gift giveaway. I've got dozens of Steam keys stored away for it.

    We're doing one. I'll be using Steam gifts to sort out the middle tier games, instead of trying to figure out who the hell wants Peggle Nights this time. A majority of the games will still be sorted through and given to folks who's system can handle them, etc like I did last year, but for the other stuff, SG is the way to go.

    Cool, been saving up from the last 4 or so humble bundles and the summer sale, should have a good 20 or so games for people this year. Someone is going to have to explain this whole Steam Gifts deal to me at some point though.
