Online Retailers Refusing To Sell Modern Warfare 2
Kotaku just posted that Direct2Drive won’t be selling Modern Warfare 2 on their PC digital delivery service. Why? Because of rival platform – Steam. The game includes mandatory installation of Valve’s Steamworks, which the game uses for stuff like installation, DRM and save-game management. Something Direct2Drive (which is owned by website IGN) are having none…

Modern Warfare 2 is much worse than you thought
Modern Warfare 2 has long earned the ire of PC gamers for its lack of dedicated servers, but Infinity Ward has now announced that it’s taking away much more than control over hosting with the game in one long face-palm of a question and answer session. No servers, no console, no mods, no problem! Infinity…

Steam: Restrictions in Japan…soon rest of the world?
Some unfortunate users of Steam living in Japan have been the first to be introduced to a very nasty new feature of Steam.

Sorry I’m posting this so late but I didn’t have much time. Here’s the presentation from Australia – with Joe (the creator of Fly Gabe Newell campaign) and Gabe Newell.

L4D2 Pre-Purchase unfair regional pricing
If you are thinking about pre-purchasing L4D2, you should think twice, as you might be yet another victim of Valve’s regional pricing scam. Previously only differing the price between US Dollar, Euro and British Pound, they now topped it by even discriminating between the European countries. So we not only have the well known unfair…

Steam Forums: The thread won’t die!
Just wanted to tell you folks that I’ve been reading Steam forums lately. The thread I started around 8 months ago is alive and it’s been really abused by Steam moderators today. So what actually happened? Those lunatics are removing every single post that contains a link to other store(s) than Valve’s. They claim people…

Steam: New Batman game 42% more expensive in Europe
I’ve been following this title since it was announced. Always wanted to play some new Batman game on my PC ;) Anyway, this is absurd! It’s another game on Steam that’s priced around 42% higher than in USA. Steam Unpowered does not recommend buying this game on Steam – be sure to get it in…

Call of Duty 5: Mid-Week Madness: 50% off
It seems that Valve is announcing more deals and price reductions nova days days – since they realized that their biggest competitors are putting out deals more often than they do. Like for example World of Goo week deal on Direct2Drive. Looks like a good deal doesn’t it? Think again: US: $49.99 $24.99 UK: £29.99…

Mouths wide shut
A user called gimpymoo created a thread on Steam Forums called Should Valve open a European Office?. After few hours the thread got shut down…by the Steam Forums Administrator, and apparently for him an office in Australia (that’s where he’s from) is a priority and he decided to close the thread. In case this gets…

Blueberry Garden
Edit: They have fixed the demo installation link, yay. ——- Valve should provide us regional news, if we have the prices different all over the world why can’t we have news for some regions only? Why do I want that? See this: They’re fucking crazy to even use currency in the news, it’s just making…
