3rd-party DRM: Ubisoft Online Service Not buying even if it goes on sale.

It'll be interesting to see the next Steam hardware survey. If the Humble Indie Bundle's OS pie chart is any indication of what kind of computers gamers use, then I think we'll see an impressive number of Mac gamers show up.

I like the new design, but they need to lose the gradient color backgrounds where there is text (especially in the steam chat boxes.) Something about monochrome text on a gradient background just looks bad to me.

Well, I guess it's nice of them to put in the DRM from the get go instead of trying to sneak it in under the radar via DLC (Pitchfording). I'll probably still buy it when I can bypass SecuWrong. I can live with GFWL.

Nice to see the hitboxes got updated. Some of them were pretty far off from the screenshots I've seen. As for the Borderlands DLC, I'll probably pick it up since I think I can get $10 worth of playtime out of it. Edit: Wow, disregard the comment about the DLC: SecuROM™ 5 machine...

Didn't they try that already through EA and didn't the PS3 version of OB turn out like ass? I seriously don't think the market for people who own a PS3 but not a 360 or gaming PC is large enough to put in the time and money to not only develop a code branch that is very dissimilar to the 360 and...

I like messing with phishers when they send me a link to one of those bogus "You've won free steam games! All you need to do is enter your username and password!" sites. My first response is always, "I don't have a computer. Is there some way I can just call the website to claim my prize?" They...

I haven't been on the forums too much. Is Hool the resident troll? If so, I've gotta give his post an "A" for effort.

Now this is a deal I can get behind. I've always wanted to play BG&E and Dark Messiah, but never got around to purchasing either. IL-2 might be fun, but I haven't played a combat flight sim since Jane's Fighters Anthology (RIP Jane's games division). I'm sure Far Cry will be fun as well.

I'd really like to pick up FC2 at this price, but I won't since it has SecuROM activation limit failware.

I was going to buy it when it hit $10, but this will work too. Now if only Wonderful End of the World would drop down to $5...

I never really got this reasoning. You bought the game with the understanding that it had 2 versus campaigns and 4 single player campaigns. You also probably had the assumption that Valve would release the other two campaigns as versus as well as an SDK for free. Now Valve is releasing these...

lol, they changed it about two minutes after I posted the link. Good to know it's still free on PC.

http://www.edge-online.com/news/paid-left-4-dead-content-spring It's possible Edge got this wrong. Any halflife2.net staff get in touch with Valve about this?

What's "shortly" in Valve time? Edit: Nevermind. Turns out it's Sometime around next week.
