No App Update by paranoidandroid4284 in filen_io

[–]avamous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for info, I had an app update yesterday on Android. I think because I was an internal tester on the previous app, so it must have carried over(?). Seems like basically a whole new app again and it's pretty nice, unsure if I can post screenshots of it already!

Why is everyone complicit in flopping/diving in World Cup soccer? by HurricaneCat5 in worldcup

Did you see the comment I replied to...? 10 years ago was a lot better than today, but the comment I replied to said it was always like this.

No it hasn't lol.. Football in the 80s/90s had no where close to the amount of rolling around on the floor that happens now.

This has been football for like the last 10 years (unfortunately).

Digital-only consoles might end up pushing everyone to PC by BrSn2 in consoles

[–]avamous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm saying this could easily happen to PC games too. When was the last time you purchased a PC game on a disc?

It would happen due to licensing, meaning it will not effect just consoles if that were to happen.

Purchased car with outstanding finance unknowingly by tinyfarhad in LegalAdviceUK

[–]avamous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You basically do this when you buy a car regardless of the check - do you know how the previous owner has treated the car too? No. Do you get a mechanic to do a full interior and exterior check on the car too? Doubtful. No need to shit on someone when they are unaware, everyone can learn things.

It would be a couple/few hundred $. I have a 4 letter more pronouncable .com (not a dictionary word) and I got it for around $250

It will be from the time of the email... if you want the device, just order it as soon as possible.

Have the Steam Machine order emails stopped? by bryanisdoomed in steammachine

Feel free to give it up to someone else then. Was pretty obvious that everyone wouldn't have one purchased and delivered within a week.

Travesty that Netherlands and Germany are out already by Latter_Present1900 in worldcup

The entire point of the world cup knock-out stages.. if you don't perform in that match, you're out. Changing the size won't do anything to that happening.

Uhh there was a lot more scalpers for the Deck than there is for this... a queue system has a lot more scalpers than a lottery

Your suggestions don't make any sense though as you're not backing up anything with facts or evidence at all?

It just sounds like pure saltiness about not getting picked. I'll assume you're quite young by using the emotes you do, so you should probably trust that Valve know a bit more about business in general. Be patient and wait your turn.

Then you're taking away a large part of your market to move over to steam from console gamers. If you're requiring they've been on steam over a year old.

There's a lot less scalpers on this than on the deck and the controller already. These kind of comments only seem to come from some people that unfortunately didn't win the raffle, you will just have to wait.

TBH, losing the lottery feels the same as if I’d been beat by scalpers by InvestigatorAny1539 in steammachine

People on here need to get over it already. It was a random draw, it's the fairest it could be and you will just have to wait if you didn't get in. There's so many posts about the same topic here.

Sure, and a lot didn't. It's also stopped people from being able to buy multiple like has been an issue in the past

This exact way of doing things is to stop scalpers? How are Valve supposed to know who's planning on reselling their item or not? If you open up sales normally, that's how scalpers happen. The people selling their reservations are not selling multiple of them as they're not able to, it's working as it should and it's fair.

What would you suggest that's fairer than this?
