Steam
Concept »
A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Steam puts every game in the world on sale........ again
How long does this sale last? Anyone know? I don't get paid for another week.. hope it's still going :(
Just when you thought your wallet was safe... BAM!
Guess I'd better start browsing the storefront and spending this month's rent, then.
I couldn't let go of Indigo Prophecy at £2.37
Steam is unbelievable sometimes....
scratch that, it's always unbelievable.
I wish that Sony and Microsoft would learn something from Steam, like being more aggressive with price reduction on PSB and XBL.
Anybody actually able to download your games? I bought GTA IV and started the download but it's stuck at "download starting...".

Exit steam, end the process in task manager, re-open steam, and go to my-games. Leave it there for a minute or two and your games should start downloading.
Good luck my friend.
That fixed it, thanks." @fallen_elite said:

@Babble - Yeah I thought that was the case at first but the restart fixed it.
How does GTA IV play on PC? I heard its a real system cruncher and teands to be buggy? Anyone know?
And Im thinking im going to go for Empire: Total War as well. Any thoughts?
Thank god this sale last until january, im horrible at making quick purchases.
Wait, they have commander Keen on Steam? I dont care if it isnt on sale thats awesome.
I'm also thinking about gta4, I don't think it runs well unless you have a quad core, however I am willing to play it at lower settings.
Also does anyone know if games like san andreas has problems running on vista? I've heard from google that it does, unless you buy a later version.
San Andreas has no problems running Vista as far as I know. I burnt a copy for my friend who uses Vista and he has no problems when we play online."

I vowed I would not buy anything from Steam that I have already played (with the exception of Stalker because its only $2) so I got Trine, The Witcher, Torchlight, and Stalker. Cost me $34. I look forward to playing those games sometime next summer.
"@Mikemcn: Cant speak for GTA but Empire is an awesome game if you can live with its quirks. If you liked any of the Total War games I would get it. If you have never played one, try the demo, they are pretty niche type games. Dave wrote a good review also.

Im skipping GTA, Guerilla will give me the open world i want haha, and i enjoyed the demo of empire, so im goign to look into grabbing that. Torch light is a good idea too. Damn you steam........
Yea Steam's getting fucked over and now not showing anything or just instead of proper text there is just code names.
