Kudos for them for being extremely clear and transparent about what is happening and why, unlike the usual mysteries and speculation.

Their presentation is nevertheless still a bit off, though:

This is due to the expiration of music license agreements for the game. Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is not affected.

For 48 hours, you can buy Alan Wake including DLCs and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare at a 90% discount on Steam.

If you already own Alan Wake – like the majority of the gaming population out there - you have nothing to worry about. The game will stay in your library and continue to work for you.

That last bit just did not at all need to be added, and while they likely intended to reference the franchise pack, the second sentence ends up being rather inaccurate. :X

It'll be discounted on Indiegala and GOG. You can grab a couple of DRM free gifts too.

"Alan Wake is also sold on GOG, and will vanish from there too, but Remedy say they don’t have any control over discounts (or the lack thereof) on GOG.

Update: GOG got in touch to tell us that yup, they’ll discount Alan Wake this weekend too. If you want a DRM-free version, voila!"

Just to be clear, Night Springs are in-game episodes of an in-game universe TV show (which American Nightmare ties into), and not actual playable content. Even if the episodes are exclusive to the GOG version in being able to be watched outside of the game (keeping in mind that they're readily available to watch online), there's no actual in-game content differences between GOG and Steam versions of the game.

Well, that's on the developer/publisher, and from the dismissive way they referenced GOG handling their own discounts, it sounds as though they never got in touch with GOG about anything like that.

I really enjoyed it but I may be bias since its very nostalgic (got it on xbox 360 on release).

Its got an intriguing story and narration similar to Stephen King novels and Twin Peaks. Controls are very basic and nothing special, and the story is linear so little to no exploration. It has a lot of cool stuff around to find though (radios, Night Spring shows, collectables). Its definitely well loved for its story above all else.

I would def recommend if you like mystery novels or shows, especially for the price

edit: i didnt mean ps3 lol I forgot I had both consoles and it was xbox exclusive

For the price it's worth it. I myself didn't really like the game as much as many do as the gameplay is very repetetive and not much change enemy wise. Story is pretty damn good though.

Not that CV is my primary concern, but let's say I grab a key at bundlestars to make a giveaway, it'll be 0 CV once the game goes off store, right? Also .... will the keys still work once it goes off store? I know it'll stay in library, if already activated, but what about unused keys?

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I think support can put up its last known value and you can get CV based on that. Keys shouldn't [keyword: shouldn't] expire unless it's mentioned they do.

Steam keys aren't generally supposed to expire.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Support never did that for "Alice: Madness Returns", so I wouldn't count on it. But it's good to know, that the keys won't expire, at least. So I'll have time until Monday evening to decide if I'll give away a copy, I haven't done a giveaway in while, so maybe I will. It's just, even though CV is not my primary concern, it sure feels better to get that small CV bonus, especially as I could always use they money to give away something else instead.

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Did you ask support? From what I've read or been told, you can put in a support ticket and ask them to restore its last known price. I don't think they do it just to do it.

The old Prey has its store value listed if it was really $15. https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/RkEF1/prey
I can't give you a real answer. Just put in a ticket with Support since the worst you get is the answer no, but if they have added other games I don't see why they wouldn't add it back upon request.

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Here was the response to my ticket.

"This site uses dynamic data provided by Steam in order to determine the CV/P value of every game. When a game is no longer for sale on Steam or it goes f2p, Steam returns a value of 0. Any attempt on our part to override this value will be undone by the site once it fetches the most recent data. Therefore, there is nothing to be done about this matter."

Well, now we both have an answer to this mystery..!

I wonder how the value for Prey works then because it shows up as 15 points, though. Well, I suppose it's another mystery.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't think it's a mystery, it's like Sooth explained below, they can set a price manually, in case there isn't even a store page on Steam any more (as it's the case with Prey), but if the Store page remains and just the purchase option is removed, the value will reset to 0. It's not fair, but at least we can predict it in advance this time.

Oh, fully pulled..

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Support only manually edits game value if the game is actually fully pulled from Steam (in the sense that they no longer have a store page up at all). This is why Alice, in the same manner as Mafia 2 before it returned to Steam, remains at a perpetual $0 value. Games that are purchase-disabled due to licensing issues are generally never removed from Steam, so it's safe to assume Alan Wake would end up providing 0 CV until/if it returns to Steam.

But yeah, keys don't expire unless the developer/publisher manually revokes them. As your ownership of the product (regardless of its activation state) precedes the license expiration, there's no grounds for the developer revoking the keys (for the sake of the licensing expiration).
