I'm a bit lazy to search right now, wonder if you guys could help me. One of my mates is trying out tf2 for free, he doesn't have any games purchased on his steam account, and thus, steam features - like friends - are locked for him. Anyone know of a way around this?

Thanks in advance!

I forgot about one big thing. I think I know what the Microsoft Game Sutdios Comp game will be. Age of Empires Online. It's free, Steam recently started publishing F2P games. So my guess is that is the game that will be added, for now, along with microtransactions through Steam.

Oh wow that makes perfect sense actually. I didn't think of that at all.

Quote:
A couple of weeks ago I was sworn to secrecy about this but it seems the same people who have demanded I not say anything have gone and told the usual CS:S blabber mouths and as such it's going to be another "secret" that everyone knows about in a few weeks anyway.

Ordinarily I'd not give a shit but given the general doom and gloom that the CS:S community is subject to at the moment spilling the beans might at least lead to some people being a bit more positive about the future of the game.

So yes, apparently Valve have approached several top players from across Europe, as well as J3di from the Zblock team, and have invited them to a meeting in their Seattle offices to discuss the future of the game.

This is the first time that they have ever attempted anything like this for CS:S and it's the first time they have showed any sort of interest in the project since Dynamic Weapon Pricing was introduced.


Anyway, the list of invited people looks good so far, even if some players are still wary that it's some sort of scam and haven't made a decision to attend or not yet. However, the first few flights from those who have provided the information requested have had flights booked and confirmation sent, so their feeling is it's all above board.

Discuss away. Just don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

EDIT: Expect a news post about it all round about the same time everyone knows, making the exercise completely redundant and stretching the definition of what "news" actually is.


CS:S going F2P? I don't think so, but they are definitely cooking something Wink

Maybe a new CSS. Maybe some major CSS update, who knows. I doubt it's CSS going free. And yeah Tactcial Interventio is just... bad.

Yeah, from most to least likely IMO:

Major CS:S update
CS:S 2
CS:S F2P

Doubtful, his actions made him to get noticed and hired by a top developer. Wink

There is a rumor that Valve is going to introduce local pricing in Russia and CIS countries. In other words, no more need for plati.ru as the games are gonna be just as cheap on Steam itself. If that turns out to be true... Let's just say, I can't wait for the Holiday sale Very Happy
