Steam account sells for $1,000 on eBay
An unknown Steam account holder managed to resell used Steam games – 139 of them, for $1,000.
Seller with a nickname dave311freak estimated his collection’s value at $2,700 and said he wanted at least $500 for the collection. The collection includes Grand Theft Auto IV, Modern Warfare 1 and 2, and Borderlands. He ended up getting double of what he wanted in the first place.
This account has absolutely no bans on any of the games, is in good standing with VAC, and any one of the games can be downloaded at any time on any computer with Steam on it.
I will change all of the information in that account to the winner’s email address and issue a password to the winner that he or she can change once they log in. I will also provide user account information for games that require additional credentials (Dragon Age for the DLC, Company of Heroes Account info, etc…).
Why is dave311freak ditching his Steam account (which is against the Steam Subscriber Agreement by the way)?
As you can probably tell, I spend way too much time buying and playing video games and I am going to try to spend more time with my family and doing other hobbies.
What do you think? How much is your Steam account worth? :-)
Canonical is going to bring Steam to Ubuntu?
One of the UbuntuForums.org administrators – Matthew Helmke – created a poll concerning the most desired applications on the Ubuntu linux distribution.
The poll is meant to show Canonical in which direction Ubuntu should go. We can find several commercial apps in the poll, such as: Adobe Photoshop, World of Warcraft, Steam and Apple iTunes. These are the most desired applications for Ubuntu of all time.
However, there is a one empty space so that users could type in whatever application they want.
The thread about this poll is growing very fast, it reached 15 pages of replies in just one day.
Team Fortress 2 Contribute
Valve is going to put Team Fortress 2′s fanbase to work, giving them the chance to craft their own in-game items, weapons and avatars.
It’s part of the new "Contribute" site, which will allow TF2 fans to submit their own ideas for things like hats and guns to Valve. The good ones will be included in the game. For everybody, too, not just the person responsible.
You can submit stuff right now, gallery coming soon.
Gabe Newell receives GDC Pioneer Award
The 2010 Game Developers Choice Awards, the highest honors in video game development, is beginning the announcement of its Special Awards for the tenth annual ceremony, taking place at GDC 2010 this March, and has named Valve co-founder Gabe Newell as the winner of this year’s Pioneer Award.
The Pioneer Award — originated by the Game Developers Choice Awards organizers at the 2008 Awards, and the first award to honor breakthrough figures in the game industry — celebrates those individuals responsible for developing a vital technology or game design at a crucial juncture in video game history, paving the way for the many who followed them.
This year, the Choice Awards Advisory Committee, which includes notables such as Ben Cousins (EA DICE), Harvey Smith (Arkane), Raph Koster (Metaplace), John Vechey (PopCap), Ray Muzyka (BioWare), Clint Hocking (Ubisoft), and others has voted to give the Pioneer Award to Valve’s Newell. He is being awarded for his work in co-creating the PC key digital download service Steam, and helping to make possible some of the most important video games of the past two decades – from the Half-Life series through Portal to Team Fortress and beyond.
Crayon Physics Deluxe – Pay what you want!
As some of you already know the makers of Crayon Physics Deluxe are having a birthday sale just like the critically acclaimed World of Goo had. Basically go to their site, click on the Buy The Game link and chose what price you wanna pay for the game.
The game is kind of expensive on Steam – US: $19.99, UK: £15.99 (29% higher), EU: 17,99€ (31% higher) – check it here. So I suppose it’s way better to support the indie developers directly in that case ;-)
Have fun!
Uplay – it’s all about you!
Ubisoft is launching their new service called Uplay. I gotta say that the presentation on their website is stunning! What is Uplay? It’s just another service like Games For Windows Live or Steam Community.
Basically you have so called Uplay Win which has accomplishments (achievements), points and other unlockable stuff that is synchronized with your consoles (XboX 360 and PS3) and the PC!
Uplay Help has tutorials and walkthroughs created by the community or Ubisoft game developers.
Uplay Store has all the DLC and probably games like Assasin’s Creed 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction for now.
Uplay Share – friends and your own content like videos from the game or screenshots.
All services are available through the game you’re playing or Uplay.com! Could this crash XboX Live/Games For Windows Live or services like Steam Community or Xfire? More about Uplay here.
And now watch the presentation because it’s really cool:

Loading ...Modern Warfare 2 Most Pirated Title of 2009
According to TorrentFreak, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been downloaded illegally nearly 4,100,000 times for PC in 2009, topping the list after only releasing just two months ago.
Provided these numbers are indeed accurate, Activision has potentially lost more than $245 million in sales on the PC version alone.
The Sims 3, Prototype, Need for Speed Shift, and Street Fighter IV help round off the top five for the year, all of which appeared on the PC platform.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the highest downloaded Wii title with 1,150,000 downloads.
The report notes the total download figures for this year double that of last year’s numbers, and that PC remains to be the target for torrent downloads, with more than three times that of the Wii and Xbox 360.
