activation limit??

As in, if your hard drive crashes and you re-download the game, you use up one activation?

You can do that five times? Not seeing the problem. Seems pretty liberal.

Quote

So, get this: while Windows 7 only accounts for 6% of the global operating system market, 23% of Steam gamers are using Windows 7!

The breakdown shows a lot of statistics, including average processor speed (2.5GHz) and NVIDIA (65%) versus ATI (30%). You can even see the split between 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7: if you click 'Windows Versions', all the flavors drop down -- 64-bit has 15.6% of the total share, while 32-bit has 7.45%. In the past month, the Windows 7 64-bit adoption jumped 2.5%, while Windows XP dropped by 3.2% -- a sure sign that gamer geeks are finally migrating away from XP (and that Santa brought them shiny new computers!)

But of course, the best statistic, saved until last like a prime cut of steak, is that Windows 7 (23%) has surpassed Windows Vista (20%)... after just 4 months!

Those gamers sure didn't like Vista. Who can blame them.

Nice to see the folks at downloadsquad took notice as well. Very well done by Windows 7 and Microsoft.

Here's the graphic for comparison

ok i know ME2 is teh hawtness right now and even avp will get over shadowed but i was just reading a kotaku review on star trek online and this is the first time since i was hardcore in L2 that i feel like paying for an mmo!(meaning i love guild wars and will continue sweating the hell out of it but no other mmo has made me wanna subscribe since L2,not trying to say that i wanna pirate mmos or anything)

Sooooo if there are any other space Cadets out there, lets launch Trinidad's first space program nah!!

Trine for 5 bucks on steam!!! seems like steam may go bonkers again soon so I shall be watching to snatch up deals

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #248 on:** February 10, 2010, 04:55:30 PM »

Trine is decent though surprisingly difficult to configure for two players.

Which I thought was the point!

Wouldn't mind a stint in star fleet crixx but I could never find the time for mmo's. Maybe when I retire yes.

Well well, look what I stumbled across on Steam...

Sadly, the very next day after release...the studio filed for bankruptcy. I guess gamers weren't ready for a Stargate action game. I was.

arc you buy it?

lawd i waiting for sum like this for like ever

Arcmanov · « **Reply #252 on:** February 20, 2010, 12:15:41 PM »

I wanted to buy it, but that whole bankruptcy thing with the dev/pub raises an interesting question:

Will they be able to keep the MP servers running...and for how long?

I don't want to spend tha money and have it 'jump up' because they pull server support.
EA is a big company, and they shutting down servers left and right, so who is Firesky?

Nephilim · « **Reply #253 on:** February 20, 2010, 12:52:37 PM »

yeah same thing i was thinking, 'tis a shame though

Arcmanov · « **Reply #254 on:** February 22, 2010, 07:56:15 PM »

...and can someone send me the memo explaining the current (and rather annoying) trend of including all those symbols and numbers
before/after your Steam nickname? Is it some new 'clan' thing I don't know about?

Generally yes

Redfish · « **Reply #256 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:48:00 PM »

It's to give your name colour while in-game Arc, yes I was confused at first also but saw the light lol

Arcmanov · « **Reply #257 on:** February 23, 2010, 01:40:48 AM »

Another annoying by-product of Modern Warfail 2, from what I've read so far.

If good ol Insanity Whored had implemented an IN-GAME naming system (like Bad Company 2 nah) then you guys wouldn't
have to resort to that nonsense. Man...the fail just keeps rollin on from that 'game' yes.

Berzerk · « **Reply #258 on:** February 23, 2010, 04:36:46 PM »
