There's a new box on the steam login window asking if you are a new PS3 player! *squeals* This is all too much! I'm going to spontaneously combust!
yea, look at the in-game settings in steam, screen shot is f12 and the "x" button!
Well I think the problem comes in that this was a very clear marketing ploy from Valve to help support Indie gamers by tempting Portal fans with an early release...
The problem is that I'm willing to bet a very large percentage of the people doing this were doing it solely to get their mittens on Portal 2 early. From my following of the event a pretty impressive amount of people have been doing it also.
While on the surface it appears to be a win win, I think in reality a lot of gamers are probably starting to feel a little cheated and understandably so. I mean the current projected 16 hours early probably benefits most people very little when taking real life commitments and time-zones into considerations. Here in the UK for instance it will release at like 11-12pm tomorrow night, how many of the thousands of people doing this in Europe are going to benefit much from that exactly?
Seems to me this entire thing was pointless if it wasn't going to lead to a early Sunday release at the latest. In addition ironically I think at the end of the day the Indie developers may be the ones to lose out in the long run because of how many of the thousands of people that bought the potato sack to do this that will shrug it off and not bother next time?
How can they play a pirated version, only PC games have piracy...
edit, in fact, is that a pirate version? the guy was logged in to xbox live.

You can log into live no problems with a flashed drive.
The Xbox version has been leaked.
You do realise console games most of the time nowadays are leaked before PC games?

For instance the game releases at 12pm tomorrow night, i would say a large proportion of gamers are going to bed or are already in bed at that time. Sleep and then work will mean they finally get home and play the game at 5pm'ish 17 hours later.
So in fact there was no reward at all other then the potatoes. Just seems like a bit of a let down for those that got their hopes up that they may get to play during the weekend, or early at all![]()
Apart from when you said UK centric you should have said EU centric, which is a pretty significant number of players![]()
Don't go on the Steam forums, unless you want the games ending ruined for you.
I didn't even read a thread, retards are putting it as their thread titles so everyone can read it.
