^Nice! That's a great game!

EDIT: I have a copy of R:TW, but the CD Key didn't work. As a consequence, I have never played it online. I think I'm going to buy a copy through Steam; since it's so inexpensive, at the moment. That will save me some trouble.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I just bought Rome: Total War Complete Edition for $2

Hmph. Rome: Total War Complete Edition is 14.99 ? here, Rome: Total War Gold Edition 3.24 ?.

Good deals (one of which I am going to buy), but still significantly more than what you pay in the US and Canada.

I picked up the THQ pack during the Thanksgiving sale, even though I already owned several of their games. I figured I'd be able to gift out the games I already had to friends. This isn't the way it works though. Instead they cheat you out of the games you've purchased: instead of having 2 copies of the game that you paid for, you only get one. Valve actually did this when Orange Box came out (you could gift the games you already had in the set). I wrongly assumed this was going to be the case again, and that I was getting what I paid for.

Really a great bait and switch, when you think it over.

Here's the canned response you get if you ask them about it:

Thank you for contacting Steam Support. Extra copies are not given for duplicate game purchases unless explicitly stated otherwise. For more information on Extra Copies and qualifying products, please read the following link: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article...=4502-TPJL-2656 If you have any further questions, please let us know.

I'm seriously thinking of getting RE5 as it costs RM85 at the moment instead of RM179 but is it worth it? I enjoyed RE4 and I wanted to get RE5 but it was too expensive at the time.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
