Description

No need to thank before winning, please, unless you have something a little more specific to say.

If you excessively repeat the same comment on every giveaway like a bot, you may end up blacklisted.

Good luck! Hope whoever wins this gets some enjoyment out of it! (: <3


"Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition will only include the base game. This does not include the Definitive Upgrade, Croft Edition Extras, or Deluxe Extras."

Thanx for this GA! This is probably my favorite franchise.

I have no idea what's actually in the "Definitive Edition" and at this point I'm afraid to ask. If it's not "all DLC content" as stated on Steam page, then shame on Square Enix and Eidos. (Shame, shame!)

Squenix didn't actually do anything wrong* (this time), it's all on how Valve has store page data configured.

See, the base game is no longer available for sale, so Squenix changed the title of the store page (which only has the complete Definitive Edition bundle version of the game on it) to properly reflect what content is being sold. However, Steam info calls only pull top-level data from a page (which is also why during sales both Steam store searches and API calls will mess up price data for certain listings, as lowest current pricing [regardless of associated max price] will always top-level on the page), which means that any game associated with that store page is going to come up as "Definitive Edition".

Of course, you could say it's SqEnix's fault for not just posting up a new store page, similar to how State of Decay and State of Decay: YOSE are seperated, but that's also not typical practice for Steam store pages unless the versions of the games are different (as is the case for YOSE, which is a rearranged version of SoD+DLCs, rather than just being SoD+DLCs alone).

Anyway, tl;dr version, API calls to the APPID associated with the base game are pulling up the title and pricing of the Definitive Edition due to how Steam has things set up, and because SG staff doesn't typically manually edit associations**. On the page itself, SqEnix does have everything properly presented.

* (Unless, of course, you consider them never including DLCs into bundled Tomb Raider base games, even though base games are only bundled after base games have been removed from sale, "wrong". It's certainly an unusual practice, in any case, so we can at least say they have some small degree of responsibility, since it should be clear on their end that Steam's presentation will make it so the game may be misassociated as being a complete edition.)

** (And in this case, the actual Definitive Edition is listed as a Bundle, which can't be referenced by API calls, so they're actually limited in what they can do to begin with. Best they could really do is change it so that the title is overwritten to remove the "Definitive Edition" part, while still leaving the rest of the association as-is, since they still need to have it so that the Definitive Ediiton can be referenced [due to store keys] and they can't really do a double-reference to the same APPID. There may theoretically be some workarounds they could do (like associating to the actual ID of the store keys and manually reassociating it to the APPID of the base game), but let's just assume that the whole thing is a hassle, even if possible.)

Thanks Sooth. That's an incredibly informative post, with tons of details about the Steam store I probably would've never known about. +1 So I guess people just need to be clear about they key they're giving away, if it's definitely not definitively Definitive Edition.

Thank you. This would be a sweet early xmas gift if I win. Been trying to subscribe to humble choice (classic plan) but humble isn't accepting my card for some reason. The same card I've been using for years.

Then go through PayPal and add there your CC and then subscribe with it to the Humble Bundle Classic Plan. I have read a lot of people working that way around Humble Bundles "Your CC is not accepted" issues on a regular base.

Yeah I tried that. Not working either. The problem is on the bank side and they couldn't figure it out. Might open an account in a different bank. Too inconvenient though

How good is the TressFX on this one? TR have nice hair physics, ROTTR have AMAZING hair physics. I bet this one is even more impressive. I know this is just graphics stuff, but seeing Lara shivering with the wind blowing her hair have a better visual impact. A good game is even better with good visuals.
Thanks for the chance!
