  • ARMA II Coming to Steam, (DO NOT) Pre-Purchase Now!

    ARMA II is coming to Steam. Seems like they keep doing what they’re doing best – still ripping off their customers. If you check on the Internet for ARMA II prices you will quickly find that this game is around 25-30€ in most stores I’ve checked. But on Steam we have a discount (!) of…

    Pretty interesting read: European game developers are up in arms about a recent EU Commission proposal that, if approved, would require devs to abide by the EU Sales and Guarantees Directive, a rule that mandates "a minimum 2-year guarantee on tangible movable consumer goods." While this guarantee sounds great for consumers, Dr. Richard Wilson, head…

  • Przelicznik cen

    Only for Polish users. Od jakiegoś czasu miałem zamiar umieścić na stronie arkusz Excel’a pozwalający na szybkie przeliczenie oraz porĂłwnanie cen w Steam, D2D i Impulse.

  • 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.…

  • Another reason to think that Steam is garbage

    Update: Impulse already released Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. Speed it up Gabe. PS FUCK YOU.
