Some angry Steam user posted a very interesting message on the official Steam Forums. He wanted a refund for his pre-order of Aliens vs Predator game (for whatever reason, you can always refund a pre-order). But he bought the game with a discounted game Psychonauts ($2 at a time).

What’s wrong you may think? Well, according to Steam Support you can’t refund only one game if you put them both in the shopping cart. And now the guy had to “give back” (and get back the $2 of course) Psychonauts in order to get his money for AvP back.

After that he wanted a refund for his pre-ordered copy of  Battlefield Bad Company 2. I wonder why?

Whats’s our point? Watch out there kids, don’t get pre-orders with regular games!

Almost 11 years ago a PC game bought together two of the most vicious creatures ever unleashed on mankind by filmmakers. Aliens™ and Predators™. Although the cross-over of this former two independence movie franchises is dated back to 1990, it was the game that lead to it’s today success. It was followed by a sequels and two movies in 2004 & 2007.

February 16th Aliens vs. Predators™ will return to the PC for a third strike.

Good price for Britons, while Europeans once again suffer from the 1€=1$ conversion.

US: $49.99
UK: £24.99 (19% lower)

You probably all remember nice hit-game Bioshock that collected many awards and so on. Now it is time for sequel. But like usually, there are no good things without bad things. The good thing is that you can get Bioshock 1 for free, you can give the extra copy to your friend, if you already have one. And there is now multiplayer! Achievements! DLC’s! And somekinda social networking based on Games for Windows live.

And the bad thing is the price for Europeans, except United Kingdom citizens.

US: $49.99 $44.99 (~32€)
UK: £39.99 £26.99 (2% lower) <- 33% discount not 10% like the others!!!!!
EU: 49,99€ 44,99€ (43% higher)

Those who bought Red Alert 3 during Steam’s holiday sale are finding themselves with a partially useless game purchased at a fairly low price. Steam users report that the downloaded copies of Red Alert 3 don’t include serial numbers, which the game requires for online play.

A similar issue occurred recently through Steam with the digital sale of Spore. That problem seems to have been resolved, and at least one Red Alert 3 player has been able to rectify the current error, though the solution required the game to be re-downloaded directly from EA (complete with SecuROM DRM).

Still, EA’s eventual intervention in Steam’s Spore issue is a possible sign that these Red Alert 3 owners will get their fix as fast as possible.

Update:

EA today confirmed to Joystiq via Twitter that the issue had been "quickly resolved," further adding that "all is well back in Steam land."

UPDATE!

Valve it’s been almost a year and still you guys are showing those new prices and promos in dollars for everyone, for fuck’s sake you can display all advertisement on Steam regionally all over the world but can’t do it with simple flash animation or gifs? Shame on you!

Yes, most of you will lose it if you bought the game in other place than Steam or authorized retail stores. So if you bought your Modern Warfare 2 key of OnlineKeyStore or something similar (maybe G2Play?) you will lose your game from the Steam games list and you will never get it back!

Here’s what he did now:

Also right now it seems like he’s saying "You have to buy games in our 300% more expensive store, sorry mate."

According to Modern Warfare 2 (.eu) Polish distributor and publisher LEM made few major mistakes (including in game achievements and the box itself), here’s a sample (“ZGÓB” should be ZGUB – it means LOSE – “Don’t lose this number”, the next one is self explanatory):
