Pangaea666: YES!!

Just woke up and saw the Critters, the last game left I truly wanted. Loved the first Unwritten Tales game, so wanted to check out this one too. Now I can :)

What else has gone during the night?
You must still be asleep if you haven't bothered to check for the list. It's one page back, but you can use <span class="bold">this link</span>.

tcmsurfer: Sorry, didn't want to annoy. However I have pressed on many games already and the 3 I have are rather "semi" good. This third one is the best so far, however since I own it already, I will think about whom I can give it as a freebie and how.

I did buy a couple of games on the other hand, so it's not like I didn't participate in the sale.

alecej: Enjoy them! Just cursing our bad luck, good for all the folks who scored freebies, especially multiple ones! Our time will come... someday...
Hopefully it will. If not from GOG, then maybe from one of those great giveaway threads here in the forums.

Shambhala: What are you looking for besides Swat3 and S&M?
I managed to snag a trade for both of the above (amazing how few people are actually trying to trade games from this promo) --- only other one i will get is Betrayal at Krondor (shoulda got it at end of round 2 but no..thought too much about it) -- and you?? i may end up getting Sam and Max Devils Playhouse as well........

HypersomniacLive: Interesting, it struggled to sell out in round #2, yet sold out 75 copies pretty fast in round #3.
avatar
Tarnicus: Yeah that really surprised me!
It wasn't unprecedented. The dreaded Jack Keane 2 took about 4 and a half hours to sell just 100 copies in the 2nd round. But only took maybe 15 minutes to sell 25 copies in the 3rd round. Also if I remember that was the only game they reduced the quantity in the first sale.

I'm only looking for S&M Save the World, but the more the sale drags on the more I end up buying games I don't care about ahaha
I had a chance to grab S&M in the first round, but thinking they wouldn't sell all of them I just let it slip...

Thanks. Looks like nothing interesting went while I was sleeping. Would be nice to get the two Sam and Max games I don't have, so will keep an eye on the sale throughout the day and hope it pops up while I'm looking. Their starting price is so ridiculously high though, that even at this sale, the price isn't that great. But it would be nice to pick them up.

Good morning everyone. So, from what I read, I see that S2 went away approx. 4 hours ago, and even after keaning a bit. It was one the few games I really wanted from this sale, and the last still remaining on my list, but I was asleep then... ah, the unforgivable sin of sleeping during the insomnia sale. Oh well, that's not a tragedy, I'll wait for another sale. Bye bye.

Tarnicus: I'm that unfamiliar with Steam still even though I have over 700 games on there, I wasn't aware that cloud saving was ever a REQUIREMENT. Serious? I assumed it was an option :( I might have to look up which games require it.
avatar
skeletonbow: It's not a requirement. Steam is just a service and they have various services provided centrally by Valve which are available to game developers to use if they wish to do so, or to ignore if they wish to do so. One of those features is the ability to save data in the cloud. Some games provide the ability to do save games and other data into the cloud as an option and you can turn it on or off in the game's settings, while other games the developer might decide to make cloud game saves the only option. Either way it is the developer who decides and not Valve or Steam. The same is true for DRM or any of the other "evil" things that people dislike about Steam.

As an example to illustrate how all of that stuff is optional, the Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3 games that are on Steam are literally the GOG version of the game, complete with the GOG launcher, DRM free. Steam's service is just used to install the game, and the installed game is the exact same binaries and launchers as provided by GOG. There is no DRM, no cloud storage, nothing unique to Steam and Steam is not required other than to install the game.

Note that I'm not promoting or defending Steam, just clarifying things for those who otherwise don't know about that stuff. Some people have misperceptions about Steam requiring DRM or requiring other annoying things and it just isn't true. The game developer always decides what DRM or Steam specific things they will put in their game and they can decide to not put any Steam specific stuff in their game and still sell it on Steam, just like Tomb Raider 1. So if a game uses Steam's cloud storage and provides no other option, that is a conscious decision made by the game developer to both restrict their game to the Steam platform and as a form of DRM that they alone are deciding to include in their game with Valve not having any say in the matter nor caring. In other words, Valve provides the tools to allow developers to do whatever they want, whether it is saving the dolphins, or killing babies and it is the developer that decides which way it's going to be. ;)
Thanks for taking the time to write that and clarify :) Having cloud saving be a requirement reminds me of the furor over uPay(uPlay) and always online so I could believe it. Did I misread, misunderstand or was misinformed that Strike Suit Zero on Steam requires it? I haven't looked into it yet myself.


Edit: I bolded a part to commit to memory. I'm still so used to Steam being Valve's baby for their own games(I used to play a few of them and was unhappy when they released them on Steam) and it is easy to demonise them for other people's decisions :)

I've never used python before. I've downloaded the script. What's the easiest way to run it on Windows?

Thats the purpose of the sale.. works on the impulse buyer.... and with the slow sale of certain games, it makes people think more and want to buy more games than they originally wanted hahaha....S&M are good games from what i know - i imagine plenty will buy them because they are good classics, but also because they are....a bit overpriced and chance to get them cheap during this sale...
Are you going to be getting the 2nd and 3rd S&M ?

Just install the interpreter

Double click script - tadaaaaa.
