Steam Summer Sales!

Do you have to download it immediately after you buy it?
My bandwidth is almost at its limits.

TravisTouchdown waves goodbye to summer.

EDIT: FFFFFFFFUUUUUU- Jas0n.

When you buy a game it gets put immediatly into your games list, and it remains uninstalled. You can choose when you may download and install the game.

Okay, cool.
Thanks 8D

Also, should I buy $13.99 TF2, or wait until Engie rolls in, hoping it becomes $9.99?

If you can hold out long enough, I'd recommend waiting.

AudioSurf = $2.50

[SamXX]

I wish they'd hurry their asses into making L4D 1/2 for Mac already, I need to get playing it again! For now the 12 Mac Games I already have on Steam will do.

 

[beehdaubs]

Bought myself Hearts of Iron II and Introversion Complete Pack.

Normally would've costed me $65 but instead only cost me 13.50. I LOVE YOU STEAM

 

[SamXX]

Just bought Killing Floor for

I have a question.

If I install Steam in another computer, my games will transfer too, right?
If they will, do I have to install every single game all over again? Or is it magically stashed somewhere in Steam's servers?

You have to redownload them all onto that new computer.

EDIT: But yes, all your games will be availabe for download on that certain computer when you login to your steam account.

if you login with your account, you should be able to access every game that you have bought on that account

your save files and things will be transfered over if the game supports "Steam Cloud" and you have that option checked in the in-game menu, for example, your items in TF2, or keyboard bindings in most games (that support it)

the game itself has to be downloaded on each computer you want to play it on.

I have no idea what the big deal about steam play is, other than mac is supported (and ps3 for the upcoming portal 2)

You're right about everything but one thing. The items in TF2 are linked to your Steam ID and are not actually located in your local files.

I said that that was a function of steam cloud

Well I suppose you did not, but those things will show up on your new location whether or not you synchronized with the Steam Cloud.

 

[Psychonaut]

ah. I see what I did there.

so the tf2 items aren't technically steam cloud, since you can't turn it on/off, yeah? steam cloud's just the bindings and options? (covering sprays, mouse, etc., if I'm not mistaken? I haven't tried going to another computer and playing it, before)

MY BAD BRO.

 

[SamXX]

Just about to go on Killing Floor now, it better be good!

 

[AndyB]

Quite a few people picked up Killing Floor it seems. Maybe get a few of us in a game sometime soon. Be a nice way to bond and you know... not die.

 

[Ciaran]

Just downloaded steam, still messing around with it...

Yep, that I was.

Also, Conor Steam spoils us many times.
