Steam - The Future is Now

[Stranger]

Summer Sale is live. Runs through July 4th.

[Leisher]

App now on Windows phones.

So I have 1000 items in my inventory, mostly cards.

Do turn them into sets, money, or gems?

I turned mine into money.

I completely forgot about the sale and cards this time around.

[Leisher]

Is the money worth it?

I was out of town for a lot of the sale, so I didn't get very into this one.

I sat down yesterday and was eating my lunch picking titles I wanted to buy, and when I went to make the purchase, Steam goofed and wiped it all out. With 3 minutes to go, I figured I'd just get them in the next sale.

I've made at least $15 or $20 from items? I mean, it's not wonderful, but it's a couple of free games.

I only bought the Brave New World DLC for Civ 5, it was really cheap. Started playing it this weekend and the next thing I know I'm 200+ turns into a game and just now getting into mid game. Super fun and long game,

You probably didn't buy the complete game and all DLC for $12 or whatever it was did you?

[Leisher]

I did not. Missed the whole summer sale.

I'll wait until the next one. Not like I don't have things to play until then...

[Leisher]

A bit behind the sale of PC Games.

[Leisher]

This applies big time to games like Rust.

Steam is putting gift restrictions in place to combat cheating.

Additionally, if an account has directly gifted a game to other players who have been VAC or permanently Game Banned, then that account will lose the ability to gift that game.

That's a bit iffy. I give gifts on Steam every now and then, but those players' actions can blow back on me now? I guess I'll be buying fewer games as gifts now.

They're giving up sales for the integrity of certain games, like Rust. I'm ok with this move.

Yeah, double down on a thumbs up move from me. I'm not seeing how it hurts the normal gamer

[Leisher]

Another change coming to Steam reviews.

Gary Newman is trolling people on Twitter with:
"Steam to be Linux only by 2019"

Some people were biting.

Time for my once-yearly proclamation that I will JOB THE FUCK out of anyone who wants some in Planetary Annihilation. Best keep that shit uninstalled and save the tears.

[Leisher]

Now that summer is over we are heading into the "let's multi something" time of the year.

I'll let Cake know.

[TheCatt]

Can you do teams? Seems like it'd be a suitable handicap if Troy had me on his team.
