There were previously several PC options though
Standard: £24.99
Special: £29.99

Looks like it is now
Standard: Removed
Special: £27.99
Digital: £29.99[/QUOTE]
Wow talk about ninja web masters, the standard PC boxed edition existed about 30 mins before my post. And it has since vanished.

First game i’ve ever pre-ordered…

(dommafia) #84

does bethesda have to pay steam to put the game on the front page?

(vexicat) #85

Steam probably just puts whatever has the most hype on the front page.

(Schwarzeis) #86

To further boost that games sales, which in turn gives Valve more money (and Bethesda/Splash Damage)

Seems like brink has personally offended steam the amount its ignoring it…it has a game called “dwarves” that is feautured, and yet brink which has been in its top sellers list for over 5 weeks isnt.

You will no doubt see it up their after this EA sale thingy, I work for a mod that gets releases and updates through steam and we made the front page and never paid a thing.

(Mephster) #89

Add me to the list of those numbers. Just pre-ordered Brink yesterday and ready to pwn!

i was checking the Brink forums at steam, and ppl is wondering why it isn’t on the front page as well.
Total shogun 2 and crysis 2 has been there for over a month now. c’mon steam!!

(kratier) #91

because shogun/total war makers gave money for a TF2 hat deal thats why its still on front page

steam isnt good for a retailer, you want brick and mortar stores to advertise, thats where all the sales are,

and last i checked gamestop has huge advertisements for brink on their front window

Yes, and I have a funny feeling they won’t, don’t know why, but methinks there’s a “Lackovision” thing going on with "Meh"thesda

something smells fishy to me and I don’t mean the trout

:infiltrator:

I think the problem is, they already did - Brink was on the front page of the Steam store. Firstly when it was added for pre-order, and again around the previous release date.

Oh trust me i’ve been fighting that smell off with as much optimistic spray as possible. I want to be dead wrong.

(Nail) #95

I have no worries about Brink the game, just "Meh"thesda’s approach to things, like telling Carmack he couldn’t license idtech5, likely won’t let him release D3 code he promised, is probably stopping SD from releasing a SDK. It probably took several rounds of “Happy Endings” just to get server files

(dommafia) #96

didnt know about that idtech5 issue :open_mouth: wow.

(mortis) #97

I sincerely hope that you are exaggerating. I might as well /wrists if they are going to lock up old their old IP like dogs in a manger…

(Nail) #98

not exaggerating my concern, but there’s an odour around here I don’t like, started for me 5 or 6 weeks ago

(Nail) #99

the tiny SD logo on the Brink retail box and the fact linux server files will be post release don’t help the feeling
