2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

People should really pick up Lead & Gold, Monday Night Combat, Beat Hazard (and BH Ultra which is just freaking amazing), Solar 2 and a few others I'm forgetting at the moment. :)

Hoenstly, i wouldn't recommend beat hazard unless you like intentionally giving yourself a headache.

You can tone down all the effect settings now. Plus, with the effects maxed out and the screen exploding in color and insanity I never once had a headache or any other issue come from the display.

Bought the entire GTA pack for a while back for ?5 so this sale isn't that good. Grabbed World of Goo, Unreal 3 Black (also gifted my friend a copy) and I got gifted Bit Trip Runner

The GTA pack isn't one of the daily deals, so that's why it's only reduced by 33%. It'll probably be a daily deal later on in the sale, so it'll be reduced further.

Gah I wish Steam Store had a mobile app. I'm going abroad to Europe in 2 days and will only have 20MB of data to use for the period if I wanted to buy anything. Tried putting on Opera Mini on my Android phone for the data compression but it crashes on the Steam store when using 3G for some reason. Any other ideas? :)

Hey guys, check out the THQ Hit pack, $49 (in australia)

Has;

Company of Heroes

Metro 2033

Saints Row 2

Darksiders (one of the best RPG's i have ever played hands down)

Homefront

Dawn of War 2 + Chaos Rising + Retribution

It has a few more as well, but those are the main ones :) MASSIVE bargain

So Lead and Gold is worth the $1.50? Also how does Oblivion run on the PC. Was thinking of getting the 5th anniversary edition next week but $8.50 is just to good to pass up. I have 4Gbs of ram a 2.1ghz core 2 duo and 1GB 4650. If it will run smooth and great I'll grab the PC version, if not I don't mind shelling out the 30 for the 5th anniversary.

Lead and Gold i gather is MP only so be mindful of that.

as for the sale, here we go again! heh heh i see the usual suspects are here...giantpotato, lcg, hello gents :laugh: believe it or not but i've only played about half the stuff i bought during the Xmas sale, i'm pretty sure. but this looks like it'll be a very good sale, too, so hopefully we get some nice deals.

salty wagyu - enjoy your trip and don't worry bout this too much, there's always the next sale with Steam and the daily specials...you'll be fine

Wow, Valve, you just hit a new low.

27 EUR for Valve's games for the UK.

45 EUR for Valve's games for the EU.

Also, if you buy the games individually, you pay 171 EUR (not discounted), but if you buy them as a package, you pay 221 EUR (not discounted). WTF!?

Looks like I won't be buying anything.

Lead & Gold is one of the more underrated gems on PC currently. Very fun game online, just pray you get people on your team who are morons or griefers lol

Oblivion runs great on PC, and with some graphic mods looks amazing.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
