Another holiday, and another steam sale, that nobody, including me, care about. Remember when steam sales were good? Now we rock GMG and get steam sales all year round

Steam sales are weak these days because Valve completely dominates market share on the PC.

Those stupid deals they used to post years ago were to hook the masses. They are now hooked and we starve now

Ending flash sales hurt too

I just bought Wolfenstein 2 physical from Target and I'm shocked there's a DVD in there. Feels like 2009 clicking setup.exe for a game

Edit: Spoke too soon. The setup.exe brings up a small Wolfenstein 2 window and an install button... that basically launches the key activator for Steam. I figured so. I doubt it was DRM free.

For console, there's nothing wrong with that. fukk downloading 50 gigs and then wait to install it.

It was $30. I actually didn't need the CD or case. The key code inside the pamphlet was all I needed.

most consoles are going the way of putting just a key code in boxes so you have to dl the game anyway.

I figured that was the case. Steam been doing this since 06 at least. Back then the CDs would just have an installer for steam and have you download the game lol

Am I tripping or does the 27 inch Dell D2716DGR need something else to get the headphone jack working?? I could've sworn it worked before but now the dell doesnt' even show up in the playback devices list. I've looked around and I can't find it. it's not disabled or anything, it just doesnt' even show up.
