  • Some fair pricing, eh?

    I think I found the "wtf?" of the day. Countries being in Tier 3, you know, those countries that pay the least when it comes to Valve-games – as it is supposed to be, actually pay more for certain games. Four of these games are published by SEGA and three are developed by The Creative…

  • Techland – new online distribution store

    Few days ago I’ve asked if their latest game (Call of Juarez 2: Bound in Blood) is going to be equally priced all over the world on Steam platform. I’ve received a reply few days after that and I found out that Techland is about to open their own digital distribution store. Techland is one…

  • Heroes Pack fail

    In one of today’s weekend deals we have a pretty nice pack of the Might and Magic titles. But something is really bothering most of us so I decided to post this here. The deal has different content package all over the planet, for example in Slovakia, Poland or Czech Republic the game has 3…

  • 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…

  • Valve divides Europe

    If you’ve been reading the Steam forums or our forums lately you probably noticed that right now Valve divided Europe into some crazy 3 different zones. Our friend Rhonin the wizard calls them tiers so lets just keep it that way. So what’s it all about? It’s pretty simple, right now if you live in:…

  • Chronicles of Mystery – The Scorpio Ritual and the weekend deal…

    This is some serious mystery alright, this game is $19.99 in the United States and…29.99€ in European Union (nearly $42)! Boycott FTW. I think they don’t even realize how stupid this looks. They want us to pay double? No thanks, and publishers wonder why is piracy so popular. Of course we do not support piracy…

  • Bethesda Game Studios – not so good after all!

    All of their prices are $=€ today. Do not buy anything from Bethesda Game Studios! I wonder what happens to people who bought those games few days ago at equal price in Europe (by equal I mean a proper dollar to euro conversion)? This is kind of amazing how they fucked it up right now!…

  • A very big plus for Bethesda Game Studios!

    For example: USA CLICK HERE $19.99 EUROPE CLICK HERE 13.43€ ($18.64) It’s even cheaper for Europeans (it’s almost the same, depends on the currency rates around the planet). Very nice :) More games from Bethesda Game Studios.

  • Alternative shops

    Alternative shops list has just been updated.

  • More Bethesda games available…wait what?

    This just popped up: This is some kind of bullshit because this isn’t available at all (even in US). Maybe this is available only for people on Mars? Play it now! Valve fix the damn news already, how hard could it be not to show anything if someone’s country code is for example France? If…

  • Defeat the admins – TF2 footage!

  • Opening The Valve: The Gabe Newell Interview

    Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 3 talk. Read the article here: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/696431/Opening-The-Valve-The-Gabe-Newell-Interview.html It’s funny how they talk about community and fans but none of them ever responded to even one e-mail about the 1€ ≠ 1$ case. Newell: I want to make sure that I don’t sound like…

  • Steam Client now with shadows!

    Just noticed that after the update that Steam Client has shadows under right click menus. Pretty nice. +1 for Valve. Funny how they didn’t include this in the changelog: http://store.steampowered.com/news/2569/

  • 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…

  • Company of Heroes: another update fail

    So today an update for Company of Heroes series was released. Good huh? WRONG. Steam users have to redownload the whole game all over again (which is nearly 10GB). And here’s a solution to our problem: …
