      I was thinking about getting this, despite Bethesda's comments, but then I noticed that this dlc expansion is 24.99 USD in NZ. Even though it's only an extra 5 USD, I don't feel like supporting this dlc if it's not going to be fairly priced.

      They lost a sale for me with their month+ delay. Considering how we've had a great deal of the content in the patch (dragon bone weapons, arrow smithing, werewolf perks, `showracemenu) for several months now, I don't think I need to spend $20 on this. I'll get it for $10, if at all.

      larkan Wait, $20 for DLC that could be made through mods? LOL, thanks but you can keep it.

      I just have like a normal HP desktop with no decked out features on it like graphics cards or anything and I play tons of games on Steam with no problem. It is just like an office computer and it plays games really well. PC gaming isn't that expensive especially with things like Steam existing.

      I bought it during summer '11's sale, and I own 3 and up, but on console. The PC versions with things like add your own music to the radio, and an insane amount of mods, made the experience feel fresh again. And they look way better on PC.

      If you haven't got Limbo, and missed the most recent Humble Bundle, £1.74 is a damn good price for it. And to anyone reading, DO NOT buy GTA IV in the sales at £4.99. Seriously. Instead, buy the GTA complete package for the same price which contains GTA IV and 6 other games!

      Man am I goddamn tired of EA. And they never seem to know when to shut the fuck up. While there's plenty wrong with Demartini's entire statement, I'm just going to focus on one thing: "We’re not trying to be Target. We’re trying to be Nordstrom." Ok...how's that exactly? Nordstrom has built a reputation on top-of-class customer service. Sure, they tend to be pricer than most with (arguably) finer merchandise, but at the end of the day they are a department store just like all the rest. As such they've learned that in order to separate themselves from the rest - and therefore survive - they need to excel in at least one regard, and service is where Nordstrom blows the competition away. I admire them for that, even if I'm not a frequent customer. Origin, on the other hand, has nothing to boast other than exclusive titles, which themselves were a result of a hasty and divisive decision to yank all future EA games from Steam (even going as far as to allow Steam users to pre-purchase Crysis 2, only to yank it just prior to release). I love the Battlefield series but refuse to buy BF3 because of Origin. Likewise with Mass Effect 3. There is no shortage of good games these days so I can do without either (and future installments of those franchises should they continue to be Origin exclusives, provided Origin continues to shit the bed, which I think is a safe bet at this point). Of course, if EA admits defeat and puts those games on Steam, those purchases will be made instantly. Because Steam has proven themselves over and over again, which is why I'm a loyal customer. Sorry EA - your "take your ball and go home" tactic hasn't warmed me up at all. And I'd say Origin has been around long enough that if there was some competitive edge on their end, we would have seen it by now. Instead they just continue to tread water atop their exclusive content under the assumption that enough gamers won't be able to do without (all the while beating their chest to no effect). And it shouldn't be forgotten that Steam wasn't a hit out of the gates. I for one was borderline offended by it's required install and (albeit brief) internet connection to get Half Life 2 underway. But Steam had what EA fails to see: a long term plan. I've bought so many games during Steam's mega sales that I'm almost embarrassed to admit how backlogged I've become. Titles I didn't even know existed I scooped up for dirt cheap. Often I'd buy a "bigger ticket" item (themselves dirt cheap in their own right, ala Arkham City for $25 mere weeks after release) and then "round out" the sale with a $5 game for an even $30 purchase. And then I'd fall in love with said $5 game and chase down sequels or other games by that developer for regular price. But even if I bought those sequels and other games for sale price, those are still sales that would not have happened otherwise. Not to mention the word-of-mouth that springs out of some of those purchases. I bought Defense Grid for cheap and turned at least two friends on to it, who in turn picked it up for full price (not to mention us all jumping on every bit of DLC released since). Similarly, a friend turned me on to Frozen Synapse - he bought it for dirt cheap whereas I didn't mind scooping it up for full price. How on earth is anything "cheapened" in those scenarios? Brand awareness has increased. Overall sales have increased. A slight hit might have been taken on that initial "impulse buy" sale but look at all the down-stream revenue to be had as a result. EA also fails to realize the sense of community that Steam has fostered. When a new Steam sale hits my friends and I get all worked up. And in the end a dizzying amount of games are purchased for a very attractive price even if few of us ever intended to buy half those games to begin with. If I see a game pop up on a weekend sale I'll text a buddy if I know he'll love it, and usually they'll bite. So even if we're not utilizing Steam's built-in community features (i.e. IM and such), we're all talking about Steam when it's full-tilt. Meanwhile Origin continues to do nothing to foster the same. Nothing. And it's not like EA can't - they have an incredible back catalog of games that time has all but forgotten. If they wanted to make a splash on the scene why not offer a bundle to new users of 10-20 old games that they wouldn't make a dime off of these days anyway? Sort of a "your instant Origin library", ala PSPlus. If they don't want to go the super sale route I can respect that but only if they offered some other "carrot" instead. As it stands, nothing. Sorry Origin, you are no Nordstrom, nor are you Target (and what's wrong with Target, btw?). Ultimately Origin offers nothing more than choked access to precious games developed by talented studios that could be making a lot more money if EA weren't so fucking selfish. EA's attitude and Origin's fiendish EULA have cost you those sales. You're welcome.

      First off, the Indie Bundles that will be up for the Summer Sale are hardly a leak. Simply because the Steam CDR can be accessed by the public, thus it's not really a leak. I'm not sure why you believe it will be an Indie Mega Sale, Valve hosts Indie Bundles at every single one of their major sales. So it's likely each bundle will have it's own daily deal that corresponds with a new daily deal specifically in the indie section. Now with that said, I love this idea of "Greenlight." I just hope we get to see more information regarding it. Hopefully this means indie games get on Steam Faster and we see more games.. however it also means we will see more terrible games coming on Steam because Greenlight is not a QA Process. Although if Valve allowed Demos to be uploaded on the developers "Greenlight" Section it could massively turn into a QA Site and give community members a chance to offer input and see if the game is good/playable.

      One of the computers has a scene from Meet the Pyro on it. Just search it on YouTube, I'm sure someone has a close-up. Basically, it shows a close-up of a flamethrower, followed by the Pyro burning down the town in the teaser image. Gentlemen... it's imminent...

      (I must be a robot, because I can;t for the life of me make out what these captchas say.) Awesome! I've always been put off by the complexity of hammer. It will be nice to be able to throw together custom maps with relative ease. Valve, you've done it yet again. I can't wait to see more of their good ideas.
