Oh really?? I was going to pick up Max Payne 2 for $2.49 even though I own the original on disk but with all of the patches etc. needed I just figured it would way easier to install it all through Steam I was thinking, and this way I can play it again in preparation for Max Payne 3. But if there are issues with Win 7, than no need to pick it up at all.

Yup, thats why they say in the required system as Win 2000/XP (Only) :(

I was going to purchase them too even though I have both the original CD's (sounds strange saying CD now :p)

I did just purchase the Eidos pack mentioned earlier in the thread, ?35 is a steal even though I already have Batman the others are well worth the price.

Okay well I am glad I checked out this thread first and know, so thanks for the info.

And I saw you purchased the Eidos pack, under the recent activity or however they word it you had a HUGE list of games. (Y)

I've gotten a few more since my last post: Picked up Max Payne 1 & 2 and CoD: World at War today, got Jade Empire yesterday, and Dead Space the day before that, and Battlefront 2 collection & World in Conflict/WiC: Soviet Assault the day before that.

I've gotten a crapload of cheap games in the last month. :D I'll probably still get Ghostbusters and Assassin's Creed before the sale is over, and maybe a couple of other things depending on the daily deals.

I cracked last night. I've been trying so hard to hold off on buying the Eidos pack since the sales started, but for the price, you can't really go wrong. You're basically buying Arkham Asylum and getting like 20 (pretty decent) games free, absolute steal.

... That said, I think I'm gonna be here until the end of time waiting for 8GB of B:AA to download :laugh:

    • 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.
