  • Not only € = $…

    According to Valve: 7.1GB = 3.3GB … Oh and you may think? WTF why 7GB? Well Steam cannot use diffs. All patches for Company of Heroes (and a bunch of other games) use diffs, diffs (I guess it’s from the word: difference) are files that look for original files and add new content to them.…

  • F.E.A.R. 2 fiasco

    It seems that if you bought F.E.A.R. 2 in retail today or few days earlier you can’t play it because Steam says it’s “Not available in your region.”. Of course that’s the problem for Europeans, the game was released in few stores around Europe earlier. Seriously, that’s a major problem here. (pics by danidomen) Read…

  • Valve shuts down mailing list soon

    So right now it looks as if Valve is trying to close the one of the communication channels, which they just cannot control.

  • Steam Randomly Charged In Pounds Instead Of Dollars (USA)

    Here’s an interesting read from consumerist.com: Reader Justin says he bought some software from Valve’s Steam service — and was randomly charged in British pounds.
