hmm, according to gamespot, Homefront released on 8th Mar... and Player review are all super high.

http://asia.gamespot.com/pc/action/homefro...mes%3Btitle%3B2

Does this mean there are 2 different launch date for this game? Or perhaps, console version is released before PC? Or Steam slowpoke?

Are you getting Homefront?

Guys... I saw the DLC pack for Total War is quite expensive. =_= Is it possible that they might release discount for those?
*
Yes, perhaps in the future.

You could always get the DLCs later.

Very true. I remember last time I drool over Neverwinter Nights Platinum Version and save money like crazy, end up the shop sold out and I don't know where else to look for it...

Now can buy digital copies, and some times has some really crazy sales somemore.. Not many reason to play *ahem* version if you ask me. Ori games can patch, auto update etc, not to mention *ahem* sometimes crack has problem, some happy surprise in the form of trojan...
*
Thanks to sales from Digital Distributors.

It will actually cost me more money to play pirated games than original games.

Still gotta spend time looking for it and hoping that'll work. If not repeat the entire process.

New strategy, wait for bigger discount.

Especially since Total War: Shogun 2 is coming out in the next 4-5 days, there might be more sales on Total War series.

I owned all the Total War series on Steam.

That game has been on sale quite a number of time.

It will probably go on sales when Batman: Arkham City is released.

Steam user violates subscriber agreement, loses $1,800 in games

QUOTE
What happens if you violate Steam's Subscriber Agreement and you have a library of games worth nearly $2,000? As one user learned, you'll lose access to all of those games.

The user in question, who has a total of $1,794.52 worth of games on his or her Steam account, decided to ask how much another person might pay for such an account. "Obviously I don't want someone to pay $1,800 for my account," the gamer wrote on Reddit. "I'm looking at money of course, not full price considering I bought most of them on sale, but maybe we can come to some sort of deal...Of course if someone actually takes me up I'll be removing my credit card information from the account, along with my friends list."

That was a month ago. A little more than a week ago the user was unable to connect with Steam, and was later informed that the account had been disabled for violating the Steam Subscriber Agreement, which explicitly states "you may not sell or charge others for the right to use your account, or otherwise transfer your account." And according to this e-mail chain, the ban is permanent.

In a later Reddit post, the user claims he or she was simply "asking how much someone would pay for a profile like that" and that the account was never actually sold or traded. However, the intention to sell was clearly there, as another post reads "I WAS 'trying' to sell my Steam account on r/gameswap, but that was over a month ago, you can't even access the post now. What pisses me off is that they waited an entire month, up to last night, before disabling my account. They didn't even send me an email [explaining] why it was disabled, I was just logged off of Steam with no warning."

Ars has contacted Valve for comment and will update the story if we hear back.

Lesson is don't screw around with Steam.
