these hackers are seriously getting on my nerve! can you see I'm gaming peacefully here? what have I done to you?

potedude4556d ago

Was it anonymous? They are a bunch of bollocks. Or some other douche who wants to ruin the experience for a bunch of other people.

Sheesh, the scourge of modern gaming...

xenophage4556d ago

Some one should find these hackers, put them in a line and cut their hands off.

2pacalypsenow4556d ago

or put them in reverse beartrap

Si-Fly4556d ago

I think you meant "hack" their hands off with a machete ;)

xenophage4556d ago

Lol yeah. I see what you did there :P

ZeroChaos4556d ago

Not to sound like an ass but didn't Valve boast heavy security? like Gabe gave out some details and stuff?

This could be a major blow.

Grip4556d ago

NO THAT THING FOR PASSWORD ACCOUNT.

Bolts4556d ago

So much for that Steam Guard huh Valve?

LightofDarkness4556d ago

Steam Guard still works, it would still prevent unauthorized users from accessing steam with you account details. They also need access to your e-mail to get access.

Bolts4556d ago

Yeah that's nice. But without credit and payment protection it's kind of meaningless. So what if some hacker won't be able to sign on to Steam as me and play my games? I want my credit card information protected!

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii4d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo4d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows904d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19894d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus4d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha4d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno4d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan4d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno4d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19814d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6694d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19814d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Why Are Steam's Recommendations Dogpoop?

Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm

UltimateOwnage22d ago

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
