Steam: Top Games Under 5/10 introduced
I think Valve realized their opponents have those in their stores so they’ve added it: http://store.steampowered.com/news/3158/
At least they’re showing all currencies now:
Browse for the Top Games Under $10/£7/10€ or Top Games Under $5/£4/5€ and find the day’s top-sellers.
Yeah we all know one dollar IS one euro…
Games Under 5€
Games Under 10€
Modern Warfare 2: Get your game or money back!
As we find out recently Online Key Store is sending out new sets of cd-keys for the game so that people who bought it from their store can easily re-activate their game once more on Steam.
Also G2Play is refunding (according to their response on Twitter):
http://twitter.com/G2PLAYSHOP/status/5916068001
So if you bought your key somewhere else and you’ve lost your game please do not hesitate and ask for a refund or a new key. And do not be afraid to use online key stores in the future – things like that happen but we cannot let Valve threat people with removing games and such.
Have fun playing!

Here’s a cool screenshot thanks to Rad86N:
Steam Community: Total playtime introduced!

Modern Warfare 2: You will lose your game!
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."
Left 4 Dead 2 launch time?
You can read from Left 4 Dead 2 blog following:
Due to an ongoing debate in the office and online as to whether “12 AM” means noon or midnight (we’re still sticking with midnight), it’s been more challenging than we realized to tell people when exactly our game will be available. Factor in the Earth rotating around the sun, daylight savings time, some of our fans insisting on using the Mayan calendar, and we’re just going to try and make this as specific as possible:
When L4D2 will go live:
Tuesday, November 17th, 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Standard Time
- Monday, November 16th, 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time
- Monday, November 16th, 10:00 PM Mountain Standard Time
- Monday, November 16th, 11:00 PM Central Standard Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 12:00 AM (midnight) Eastern Standard Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 5:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 8:00 AM Moscow Time
- Tuesday, November 17th, 2:00 PM Japan Standard Time
Loading ...Steam: New User Interface on the way?
Some user on Steam Forums created a thread in which he complained about Steam interface. You can read the whole story here. What’s the best thing is that someone from Valve actually responded with:
FUCKING FINALLY.
I really hope this time the application will be more native to the whole system (Aero support?) and even if not please Valve, oh please, make the new interface/skin less green and flat. The Half-Life era is over!
Steam: Modern Warfare 2 buyers upset over wait
Some eager Steam pre-purchasers were surprised to find their digital copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would not be unlocked through Valve’s online service until 2 days after the release of the retail version.
Many forum members are in an uproar over pre-ordering the title without being completely aware of the different release date that was clearly advertised.
"What the… 2 DAYS??? Why the heck did I buy through Steam for? I certainly didn’t know there was gonna be a 2 day delay for us steam purchasers," one forum member wrote.
The ire also stems from the fact customers who purchased a retail boxed copy of the PC game are not forced to wait, despite the title requiring Steam authentication. This has also led many to pursue canceling their online pre-orders.
"I pre-ordered the game, assuming that it would come out on the actual release date. Now I’m waiting for my ticket to be answered for my refund," another member wrote. "The funny part is they probably wont get back to me until after it is released on Steam:
If you pre-ordered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 off Steam and are still hanging in there waiting, here’s the most updated release details from Steam:
Activision’s policy is for the digital download version of MW2 to be activated 48 hours after the retail release. Therefore copies bought on Steam will be activated as follows: Worldwide (except North, Central, and South America): 3:00 pm PST Nov 11 and North, Central and South America: 9:00 pm PST Nov 11.

South Africa: Modern Warfare 2 fails once more
I just got word from a member (GhOst) of an online community that I’m part of. He just returned from a local retailer here in South Africa, BTGames, where COD MW2 was released at 00:00 tonight – about 1h 30 minutes ago – with his brand spanking new legit copy of the game he pre-ordered @ ~$60 and whatnot in hand he rushed home.
Some nice shots of the retail box…and what makes this story newsworthy though is this picture below. A picture is worth a thousand words indeed…
And this is after everyone were promised the game will work 100% after the street date here in SA – hence the midnight release and everything.
News thanks to our user ld13 (here).
