The Rimworld Steam Keys Debacle

Rimworld is this neat little gem that only Steam account users will have the hotness for. It’s a pretty awesome Dwarf Fortress esque game with some hints of the unnatural sci-fi that one may know from the Firefly series. The developers of said game even have this great deal for Early Access Steam keys. Then douchebags had to muck it up.

The whole story here is that the devs of Rimworld, Ludeon Studios, decided to put out a promo so that they could earn more money. God knows these indie developers need all the help that they could get. They offered that, instead of buying Steam keys from Steam itself, that takes a 30-40% pay cut from the developers with every unit sold, people interested in Rimworld should opt to purchase from their site instead. Naturally, Steam sells them cheaper than Ludeon does so, to sweeten the pot, Ludeon would send free Steam keys to put into any Steam account for those that bought the non-Steam version of the game. Simply typing in their purchase email was enough to merit this free Steam key of Rimworld. It’s essentially getting two copies for the price of a slightly higher one.

So basically, more money for Ludeon Studios and shiny Steam keys for longtime supporters. Everybody wins. RimWorld is a massive undertaking, too. Ludeon deserves every penny they get.

Unfortunately, the Steam keys black market can be pretty brutal for the uninitiated. These fraudulent rapscallions descended upon the hapless developer in full force. In a blog post, Sylvester of Ludeon explained:

“If you bought before today, you can still get a key. However, I’ve been forced to stop offering Steam keys for those who buy today and in the future. We’ve been getting hammered by fraudsters who are obviously more experienced at this than I. Shutting it down for now is the only way to avoid thousands of dollars in chargeback fees and lost sales. It’s time to take a breather, because I can’t fight this ‘live.’”

With tons of chargebacks done with those free Steam CD keys, Ludeon lost more money than what would normally be normally sound for a developer of their level. Not to mention the Steam keys used in nefariously fraudulent actions are now being banned.

The plight facing RimWorld and Ludeon Studios’ shines a light on one of the biggest issues in PC game publishing right now: that developers may face crushing chargeback fees from stolen credit cards used to buy Steam keys. Fraudsters make money by selling these keys on via eBay-style PC game websites.

This is a tough one for Ludeon and I do hope it’s something they can recover from.

10 Bundles to Get in the Steam Summer Sale Part 2 – Redeem Code

The continuation of our 10 Bundles guide for the Steam Summer Sale!

Action, Adventure, Interactive game, overview, Platforming, Point and Click, puzzle, review, RPG, steam cd key, steam codes, steam keys, tips 2

6. Assassin’s Creed Bundle Redeem Code

Ubisoft is Ubisoft; sometimes they’re evil and other times… they’re as evil as EA. But the Assassin’s Creed franchise is undeniably one of the best IPs in modern gaming. These games don’t always go on sale, so if you get a chance or are even remotely interested in picking up the series, I suggest that you go for the Assassin’s Creed bundle that goes for a meager $62.96 considering the amount of content in it. Don’t worry; Unity’s mostly fixed now, so go nuts and get to know the assassins of yore through this redeem code.

7. Serious Sam Franchise Redeem Codes

Like, holy crap, $10 for the Serious Sam complete pack. Serious Sam is a solid FPS classic that should not be ignored by the shooter aficionado. Furious first-person shooting, relatively fast paced movement, and tons of crazy enemies make this IP old but still gold. This bundle has EVERYTHING you would possibly ever want or need from the Serious Sam franchise. With a jaw-dropping 90% discount, I’m not even sure why you still even want to mull over if you are buying this classic or not.

8. Borderlands Steam Keys!

Borderlands. Enough said. Also, redeem code.

The most awesome shoot-and-loot franchise is on a nutter sale at just $21.53. The Borderlands triple pack consists of the original Borderlands and its DLC, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Tales from the Borderlands, Action, Adventure, Interactive game, overview, Platforming, Point and Click, puzzle, review, RPG, steam cd key, steam codes, steam keys, tips 1

What’s even crazier than that? The Borderlands “Take over your life” bundle offers all of those above but has the addition of the Tales from the Borderlands from Telltale games. Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones – ring any bells? Yes, the solidly fantastic story driven Tales game rounds up your Borderlands experience nicely with only an increased cost of $4.67. In my opinion, it’s the latter that’s more worth it. Tons of content and many different games; can’t go wrong here.

9. Telltale Bundle Redeem Codes

Like I mentioned earlier, Telltale is just amazing at story telling. Don’t like the rest of the Borderlands series but like the storybook gameplay of Tales from the Borderlands? Well, you can skip all that and just get the Telltale bundle redeem code that has all the Telltale classics and modern gems to sate your story pangs.

This bundle isn’t exactly cheap as it’s going for the price of $82.84, but with the crapton of games in it, you will absolutely get your money’s worth – I guarantee it.

10. Homeworld bundle Steam Redeem Code

Okay, this final bundle doesn’t include games with 70-plus percent discounts or massive packaged savings. But Homeworld Remastered and Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak redeem codes are both stellar RTS games worthy of rebooting the legendary PC-centric Homeworld series, and if you buy them as a bundle, Gearbox will knock another 10 percent off the top of the 50 percent discounts being applied to both games. Both can be yours for $38.23 total—a meager price for some top-shelf strategy action. (If you’re looking for even more fine RTS gameplay, Ashes of the Singularity is on sale for 50 percent off during the Summer Sale, too.)

And that’s it! Happy redeem code hunting, everybody!

10 Bundles to Get in the Steam Summer Sale Part 1 – Steam Keys

The Steam Summer Sale; a legendary event for gamers all over the world to obtain treasured copies of amazing games at the lowest of prices. Many might have felt turned off over the fact that Valve shied away from Daily Deals and Flash Sales during the Summer Sale as a whole, instead opting for a “what you see is what you get” approach, but it still doesn’t take away from the fact that Steam is the place you’ll only ever find amazing deals on AAA games and their Steam codes.

Action, Adventure, Interactive Game, Overview, Platforming, Point and Click, Puzzle, Review, RPG, Steam CD Key, Steam Codes, Steam Keys, Tips, Witcher, Deus Ex, Hotline Miami 2

With that said, to increase your chances of getting the best deals and your money’s worth, we hunted down 10 game bundles that you’ll absolutely love to have. Some of these can be so ridiculous that it might not seem real – but believe us;  they’re as real as real can be!

Action, Adventure, Interactive Game, Overview, Platforming, Point and Click, Puzzle, Review, RPG, Steam CD Key, Steam Codes, Steam Keys, Tips, Witcher, Deus Ex, Hotline Miami 1

Just as an addendum, these bundles will even discount from the price if you already have a game’s Steam keys found in the bundle. The amount you pay will be even LESS than what it already is. Now, take a gander and get to buying because the sale ends on the 4th of July!

10 Bundles and Their Steam Keys

1. Deus Ex bundle Steam Keys

Made up of the original Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Deus Ex: The Fall, the entirety of the Deus Ex bundle is crazily amazing that it hasn’t let up as a strong seller this Summer Sale. This is Deus Ex: One of the best franchises to ever grace the gaming landscape and it’s going for the extremely low price of $8.24. How is this something you are not buying yet? If anything, this is the best time to purchase the franchise if you haven’t gotten into it yet as the next Deus Ex game, Mankind Divided, is coming out in August. Get to know it, now!

2. The Witcher Trilogy Bundle Steam CD Key

The Witcher. Enough said. Well, maybe there’s a bit more to say about it. The original Witcher wasn’t exactly a groundbreaking release from the relatively unknown CD Projekt Red at the time, but it slowly became a household name one Witcher 2 came around, and the finally solidified itself upon the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Made by an obscure Polish developer, an new IP, and basically a world we’re all not used to, it’s amazing how the Witcher pulled itself through the muck of the unknown and made itself one of the best franchises the world has ever known. If you haven’t caught up with the story of the past game or are interested to get into the world of the Witcher, The Witcher trilogy Steam CD key goes for a meager $26.52 compared to purchasing Wild Hunt alone for $40. Not to mention that there’s this $20 deal for the Witcher 3’s amazing DLC, Blood and Wine, so it’s definitely a no brainer to buy the bundle.

3. Turn-based Strategy Bundle Steam Codes

Steam has also packaged similar games together to create themed bundles around specific genres. Most slip in a full-priced game or two and the occasional stinker, but a couple stand out from the crowd.

The $39.82 turn-based strategy bundle, which includes The Banner Saga, Invisible Inc., Hard West, Gremlins Inc., and Thea: The Awakening. That’s a great lineup, and you’ll save 10 percent more than if you purchased the games separately.

4. JRPG bundle Steam Keys

This is a similar bundle for Japanese RPG fans, with Valkyria Chronicles, Tales of Zestria, Disgaea PC, Agarest: Generations of War, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 collectively selling for $42.88. Valkyria Chronicles alone makes this a worthwhile bundle due to its status as a modern classic. Throw in there the raunchy Agarest and Hyperdimension Neptunia, along with another modern classic in the form of Disgaea, it’s really hard to go wrong with this.

5. Hotline Miami combo pack Steam CD Key

Hotline Miami is a glorious, pulsing, neon-dripping homage to over the top violence, decked out in retro aesthetics. The mix of brutal, fast-paced action and intoxicating audiovisuals activates something in your monkey brain that compels you to play just… one… more… time—even if the story makes no damned sense.

During the Steam Summer Sale, the Hotline Miami combo pack offers bothHotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2 for just $5. There’s no extra bundle discount in play, but for $5 for two great games, who cares?

10 Games to get in the Steam Summer Sale – Steam Keys

Praise the Sun! The Steam Summer Sale of 2016 delivers us massive discounts for all kinds of games. Indie or AAA, it doesn’t matter; none are safe from the rock-bottom prices dictated by Lord Gaben! There are tons of delectable discounted games – thousands, even – but double edged element in the sale is that it can be tremendously difficult to sift through the slosh of Steam keys to find the true and grand jewels of the industry.

In comparison with the discount and the level of meat in a game, we bring you 10 titles that are just absolutely the most bang per buck; titles that you’ll definitely want Steam codes for. These are hands-down amazing games that are selling right now for $10 or less. Of course, it goes without saying that big AAA games like Fallout, Skyrim, or pretty much any popular title that have low prices will not be mentioned here. They get enough attention as it is, with or without the sale. Instead, these titles are going to be games that you may not even know exist but are damn worth the cash. So, without further ado, here are the 10 gems that you definitely have to grab a Steam cd key for.

 

1. The Talos Principle Steam Keys

Best Steam Games, Discounts, FPS, Game Genres, Platforming, Point and Click, puzzle, retro, RPG, steam, steam cd key, steam codes, steam keys, Steam Summer Sale 2016, The Talos Principle, transistor, Under $1

Let’s start off with one beautiful game: Croteam’s The Talos PrincipleThis title, while it was well received and has critical acclaim, didn’t do too well in the mainstream market of generic CoDs and GTAs. It is, however, the best puzzle game since the Portal series. It has some of the most astonishing visuals, intricate puzzle designs, and fantastic story for a game in its genre, with a lot of content to boot. It’s currently on sale for $9.99.

2. Transistor Steam CD Key

Best Steam Games, Discounts, FPS, Game Genres, Platforming, Point and Click, puzzle, retro, RPG, steam, steam cd key, steam codes, steam keys, Steam Summer Sale 2016, The Talos Principle, transistor, 2

This is another title that pretty much went under the radar of the mainstream gaming community. Well, while all games on this list are technically those kinds of games, Transistor was up for some honors in the game industry, but missed out against bigger budget titles.

An RPG at heart but built around action at the same time, Transistor has some crazy wonderful elements that focus on the palatable visual aesthete of the discerning gamer. Combat mechanics, fantastic graphics, gravely haunting music, and voiceover work that pay attention to extreme detail, Transistor is one of those titles that you know was made with tons of love. Going at a price of of $4.99, you can’t ever go wrong with it.

Steam Codes: Things To Remember in Every Overwatch Match

Getting into a new game is always daunting, especially when it is competitive in nature like League of Legends, CS:GO, DotA, and, of course, Overwatch. Unlike MOBAs of today’s popularity, Overwatch isn’t exactly the same, but nevertheless cut from the same cloth. It’s an FPS MOBA (yes, it’s a MOBA, deal with it), that has more to do with player skill, team composition, and team synergy than anything else right off the bat. You can’t exactly carry in by yourself in Overwatch, but you can certainly have the most impact in a game that controls the flow to inevitably be in your favor. No Steam redeem code is ever going to make up for that knowledge.

With this said, a lot of newbies, unfamiliar to the very nature of Blizzard games, regardless of how pro they are with shooters in general, are caught off guard when they first start off in Overwatch. There are four (4) roles to be had in Overwatch and these are Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Offense characters are generally the high-damaging heroes that have all the tools to decimate and obliterate opposing heroes. Straight up the kind of DPS role you’d expect in MMOs. Defense heroes, while not slacking in the offensive department, are more suited to control the battlefield with their many debilitating skills that can kill opponents outright, deny areas to the enemy team, or create impenetrable choke points to hinder the enemy’s progress. Tank heroes are those that specialize in being as tough as they can be, being able to take a buttload of damage and defending their allies from hostile attacks. Finally, we have the Support role that has heroes that focus on healing and buffing allies, or debuffing enemies to make it easier for them to go down.

Steam Codes: All About the Balance

Every team needs a proper balance in Overwatch or else you may be looking at an instant wipe for every team clash. 3 Reapers and 2 Genjis aren’t exactly going to get you anywhere. There’s always a need for at least one tank and one support hero, preferably a healer like Mercy or Lucio, and pretty much anything else. Like in other holy trinity games, the tank and healer are the pivotal and indispensable roles in every group. Without them, all you will have left are Offense and Defense characters that are quick to die from opponents who are well taken care of by their own tank and healer.

The point? You’ll hardly ever win with Offensive characters purely. Sure, there are going to be some of those instances where a tank-less and healer-less comp will be much more viable when fighting a specific enemy team composition, but you better know the rules first before you break them. Still pretty sad that there aren’t any Steam codes or Steam CD Key for Overwatch though. But, we can certainly dream.

Overwatch Review Part 1 – Hype! – Steam Codes

Disclaimer! I am in no way a fan of shooters in general, much less FPS MOBAs or team based shooters like Overwatch and Team Fortress 2, or whatever you want to categorize them as. So this is going to be in the perspective of a gamer that does not at all hold any hype for the genre.

While there aren’t any Steam Codes for Overwatch, it’s still the most hyped game right now and isn’t slowing down at all. Now, even I, as I said earlier, am not a fan of shooters, but Overwatch has caught me hook, line, and sinker from the trailers and animated shorts alone. But, of course, I had my own share of healthy skepticism considering that the game had nothing past its MMO PvP-like arenas. I was attracted to the lore and the very existence of its characters, so why would a non-shooter gamer ever pick it up? Well, my curiosity and want to involve myself with the characters and Overwatch’s world was enough to spur me to buy the game. Again, it doesn’t have a Steam CD key, so that added to my initial reluctance as I only ever play Steam games. Hesitantly, I picked up the game a few days ago and I was even thinking that I was going to regret the purchase. I’m glad that I was wrong.

Steam Codes: The Core of Overwatch

Overwatch, at its beginning, assumes that you are a nub in all things shooter. This is true in my case and the brief tutorial, with the help of Athena, Overwatch’s own sentient computer, and the very lovely Tracer, ran me through the basics once more just to make sure I wouldn’t make a fool of myself in a real match. Blizzard really put a lot of thought into making the game accessible to every because this intention is extremely pronounced with how simple it is to understand how your hero works and how to do mechanics in a match. The best noob-friendly thing in the game is never running out of ammo. Yes, you do run out of ammo in your clip and will have to reload eventually, but you don’t need to go rummaging throughout the arena for clips if your reserves run low because, well, it’s infinite in Overwatch. You can’t ever run out of steam.

After going through the extremely basic tutorial of Overwatch, I immediately headed into quick play mode where I found a match in no less that 5 seconds. There are tons of people playing this game right now, so there isn’t any issue in getting a match. Once in, the objectives are very clear, simple, and to the point. Every arena right now only has objective capturing and nothing else. While that does sound weak for a game this hyped, I assure you that it simply isn’t the case. There are 3 kinds of objective capturing in Overwatch; King of the Hill style, Base capturing, and Payload delivery. All these mechanics merely involve one of your team mates to stand in the highlighted area to capture it. A capture stops and becomes contested when a player of the opposing team steps into the area as well.

King of the hill is as simple as can be; capture the target area before the timer runs out and you win the game. Base capturing varies on the team you’re on. The attacking team, randomly chosen, needs to capture both base points in the arena before the timer runs out to win. The defending team, on the other hand, has to prevent these base points from the attacking team and, in order to win, has to run the clock to zero. Lastly, Payload delivery focuses on bringing a movable objective from point A to point B. This is true for the escorting team that has to remain by the side of the payload in order for it to move. The more players near a payload, the faster it will move. The defending team in this game has to stop the payload from reaching its destination. They can do this by, of course, wiping out the enemy team enough so that they don’t ever get to move the payload, and by moving the payload the opposite direction themselves simply by standing close to it or on top of it.

Overwatch, Steam keys, Steam Codes, Steam CD Key, FPS, MOBA, Online Multiplayer, Arena PvP 3

As you can see, while the mechanics may be inherently similar, the variation of this single objective capturing mechanic gives Overwatch a lot of flavor all on its own. With 12 varied maps with their own interesting twists, turns, and secret accessways, there’s really no end to the fun that can be had in Overwatch. Now if only it had Steam Keys, I’d much better prefer playing on Steam than on Battle.net…

Steam CD Key: Overwatch Beta Stats

Steam CD Key: Surpassing Contemporaries

Overwatch is getting released in but a few hours at the time of this writing! In celebration of its launch, let’s take a look at all the things that had transpired in the Overwatch betas through the months. Soldier: 76, unsurprisingly, is the most used offensive character in the betas, given that he’s pretty much the most basic hero in the game. To sum him up, he’s the aim-and-shoot kind of character and doesn’t require much adjusting to if you’re already a fan of the FPS genre.

Widowmaker is the most used in the defensive character category due to her superior ability to kill anything with mere suppressive sniper rifle fire. She’s a go-to standard of the FPS genre as well, along with a few different tricks up her sleeve. Reinhardt, the beta’s premiere Tank hero, proves that teamplay is obscenely important in Overwatch and that you can’t survive as the run and gunner alone. Mercy was the top support character, but that doesn’t come as a surprise considering that she’s the best healer choice, no matter how you look at it.

Steam Redeem Code: Overwatch Pre-Launch Dominance

And a staggering 9.7 million players across 190 countries joined in on the Overwatch hype. With 4.9 BILLION minutes played and more than 37 MILLION matches played, Overwatch will undoubtedly be joining the ranks of one of the most played Esports-worthy games in recent times. It also goes without saying that, even before release, it’s killed the only challenger in the FPS MOBA genre, Team Fortress 2, without even being released yet. These numbers will only grow once the game’s released tonight and may even challenge the supremacy of Call of Duty and Counter Strike as the reigning FPS in the Online Game world. The game’s even managed to gain fans who even dislike FPS games in general like yours truly. If that isn’t any measure of how good a company Blizzard is, then I don’t know what is. Sadly, there won’t be any Steam Codes for Overwatch as it will be handled exclusively through Blizzard’s own gaming platform, Battle.net.

Steam Codes Spotlight: Enter The Gungeon

Enter the Gungeon is a game in the form of classic Bullet Hells, but in dungeons! There haven’t been many to put two invariably separate genres together, especially considering that Bullet Hells are done in spacious, fast-paced, and linear stage tracks while Dungeoneering is especially more focused on quiet strategy and exploration of labyrinthine networks. Again, it really isn’t something people marry together, but it’s an interesting concept entirely.

Steam Codes Pick – Weaving Unlikeliness

You pick one of several characters that each have unique stats, weapon specialties, and abilities. But the best and greatest character in Enter the Gungeon is… wait for it…. the bullet. Yep, you heard it right folks; you can play as a bullet shooting bullets at other bullets that shoot bullets at other bullets. Bulletception. But the best part about this character is that he actually starts with, and I kid you not, a sword. Called Blasphemy. Cuz, you know, he’s a bullet using a sword. With every character being just as interesting or even more than the last, Enter the Gungeon has that one character everyone is going to love.

steam code, steam cd keys, redeem steam code, enter the gungeon 2

The “Gungeon” itself, the playing field, is an ever-evolving landscape that have been meticulously designed and hand-drawn, but, at the same time, procedurally generating new rooms and landscapes based on the performance of players. While everyone starts out in the same area, the next few rooms will be different on how fast, how good, and what method you dispatched foes with in the previous areas. There’s no similar experience for each playthrough and things just get harder and harder. The game will easily pick up if you’re too good.

Steam Codes Pick – OMG STUFF!

Again, even though it’s bullet hell gameplay, the strongest dungeon element in this game is that there is actual progression, shops, currency, and equipment you have to manage, akin to old school dungeoneering games like Legend of Zelda or Alundra. With tons of hidden rooms and secret treasures, there’s just so much content to be had in Enter the Gungeon. What makes this ever more awesome is that there’s actual multiplayer that you can partake in. Unfortunately, you can only connect via LAN as the game does not support online at the moment.

The best part, however, is that Enter the Gungeon subscribes to the Diablo and Borderlands philosophy of HOLYCRAPLOTSOFLOOT. It’s undeniable that loot-based games have a powerful pull on our psyches. With hundreds upon hundreds of guns to be looted, bought, or stolen, Enter the Gungeon will keep you busy for hours on end with its amazing looting system.

Unleash everything from the tried and true medley of missiles, lasers, and cannonballs to the bizarrely effective volley of rainbows, fish, foam darts, and bees! Yep, bees.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up
