  • EA’s Steam pricing finally criticized

    Finally someone else than us noticed the non-sense pricing on Steam. It’s kind of sad it took a over a year for someone to finally see it. Although, better late than never.

  • 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.
