Great game. I was crap at fixing traffic bottlenecks though.

Did you put up any games which were part of bundles before the bundle was entered into the system?

I suspect there's going to be a lot of those giveaways going up there over the next couple of days. Curiously, SG didn't allow Humble Bundles to be part of giveaways. They were so pedantic about it that games giveaways suspected of being a bundle game would also be deleted.

That was before they implemented their current system of no more than $30 of contributions from bundle games and this is after the contributions from non-bundle games, so if you gave away one non-bundle game that was worth $35 in their system you would get no contribution to your total contributions from any bundle game you put up after that.

I don't think so but it was $80 last week and I've put up 2 games since then and now it's gone down, most games were part of bundles alright but I've giving away a good few it just seems strange that they would leave it so long before putting the value down

I keep pimping The Nameless Mod, but try to play it after you're finished with Deus Ex - it's worth it.

Just to double check {I don't wanna mess this up}, I've original cd-keys here for Half Life, Opposing Force & Blue Shift. I just used the Half Life one, which gave me a Half Life pack, including DoD, Half Life, Opposing Force & Blue Shift etc. Are the two remaining keys for the same pack? I'll create giveaways for them if so...

I don't know about Blue Shift, but the Opposing Force key definitely won't work.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-wusf-3601

Opposing Force CD-keys cannot be registered through Steam. Opposing Force was included in a retail Half-Life package. The Half-Life CD-key included in the package will unlock all of the games in that package, including Opposing Force.

A Gunman Chronicles key will also unlock the Half-Life platinum pack on Steam.

How do they mean OF was included in a retail package with HL1, is that a steam package they're referring to? My versions were all separate big box versions

Myrddin · 01-08-2013 03:32PM

Ah, the OF key isn't even in the right format so it prob doesn't work as you say. The Blue Shift one looks right though, any mention of that activating the platinum pack?

This post on the Steam forums says it will activate fine.

Cool, the Half Life Platinum Collection doesn't appear on the Steam Store, nor on the Steamgifts inventory...given the Blue Shift key is said to give you all the games {Half Life, Opposing Forces, Blue Shift, Counter Strike, & DoD), the closest I can find is the Half Life 1 Anthology. Is it ok to list this as the giveaway, or should I just list it as Blue Shift? I don't want to break any steamgifts rules or anything...

Myrddin · 01-08-2013 06:29PM

Ok feck it. Please read the text below the link

This is for a Blue Shift retail key, which has been reported to activate the Half Life 1 Platinum Pack on Steam. That includes:

Half Life
Half Life Blue Shift
Half Life Deathmatch Source
Opposing Force
Team Fortress Classic
Ricochet
Day of Defeat

There is no listing in the Steam Marketplace for this pack however, & there is no listing in Steamgifts for it either, but I know it exists, I used my original HL key today & received it. The Half Life 1 Anthology is the closest to the actual Platinum pack that I can find. So, again, I'm not 100% sure, but from the above forum post linked to, it seems Blue Shift activates the same pack. Apologies if it doesn't, all I can base this on is steam forum posts. You will at the very least get Blue Shift, but I'm 99.9% sure you'll get the unlisted Platinum Pack too as I did.
