I can't be impressed with a 100$ VN any more. There should be another zero at the end of that price. At least.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Has anything good ever used any of the subtitles "Origins", "Origin", or "Absolution"?

vvvv okay, so I'm hearing just Condemned, then

Thank you for reminding me to replay Hitman Absolution.

Here's a game called You're Fired! Revenge! that's basically about getting fired and showing back up to your office to murder your coworkers.

Well, there was the company Origin that was pretty cool and made Ultima and Wing Commander and helped kick off the careers of the people who made Thief/Deus Ex, until they got killed by EA and got their name exhumed for some Steam knockoff or whatever

Making your $2000 game easily beaten in less than 2 hours feels like a huge design flaw considering how Steam refunds work

seems pretty clear that they hope to ensnare someone that forgets to refund or goes over the time limit, if they actually wanted people to play their game for free they could just release it for free and have a separate supporter DLC pack

Do refunds on Steam only go into your wallet balance and not back to you as real currency? I wouldn't want to dump thousands of dollars into my account all at once just because I bought the lovely expensive game with the intention of refunding it after I beat it.

Real money, except in the event that the payment method you used is no longer valid.

I'm viable ladies.

Also depends on the thing you're buying, but the purchase screen is pretty explicit upfront if you won't be able to refund.

I usually get my refunds in steambux just because I know I'll have something to use it on eventually, but real money hasn't ever been a problem either. I'd have to wonder if it's any different for a $2000 game rather than the small amounts I'm usually dealing with.

The limit is 2000 dollars. So the game is probably some weird money laundering scheme involving tf2 hat barons.

Most expensive game on steam

As some of you know, I discovered an exploit in Valves new pricing engine.
This lead me to push the price as high as I could as a joke (inspired by hidden and unknown)
The game costed a whopping 505000$ to buy for a while, I got called Tang Xiaolong the money launderer and this has been a pretty stressful experience (I wish I had enough money to need to worry about laundering it)

This is fantastic. I love this.

Good news everyone! This game is on sale:



Now you can pay $2.24 instead of $2.99 for what is apparently a static screen of usernames with the amount of time they've been idling. God only knows how this even got on my wishlist, but steam was right there to notify me it was on sale!
