Micro, Steam is extremely trust worthy, follow Cthulhu advice about getting a debit card. A lot safer and they usually come with some form of insurance to cover some unscrupulous person if they steal your card.

As for the reeling you in sales on steam, I for one like it. Its a win win, I get to play a game for free and if I like it I can pay, if not then I don't bother with it. More companies really really should do this, try before you buy is possibly the best way to not get screwed over when it comes to buying things.

Most companies don't care about screwing you over.  All they want is for you to pay as much as possible for whatever they're hawking, enjoy it enough to buy another one and then do so in a few months.  If you don't enjoy the game, at least they got your money and chances are you're the type who'll force yourself to find "the good parts" so you'll end up giving them another chance, and another chance, and another chance, to screw you over and then convince yourself they didn't.

Damn fucking right. I can't make a game by myself, so I pay someone else to do it.

Sure you can.  You just need an imagination.

I wonder what kinds of sounds irony and sarcasm have when they pass over forumites' heads.

Whoosh?

Fweeeeeeeeeeee?

[Micro102]

[The Architect]

I believe it was irony this time. Used to make a point.

Sarcasm and irony are subtle humor.  If you put tags on it you ruin it.  If the person doesn't spot the sarcasm, irony, they don't deserve to laugh at the joke.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Irony I can agree with, but sarcasm depends on a subtle tone difference that is frequently lost when rendered into text. You can say the same text both normally and sarcastically, but if you're typing the text, you almost always have to make "dead giveaways", otherwise the target won't notice that you're being sarcastic.

[sproingie]

[irony] tags are meta.  there's a certain irony in failing to spot that.

So glad I didn't have to say it myself. I figured if that much was lost on some people, the same principle applied as when someone fails to spot obvious irony.

[Huesoo]

I agree with cthulhu, plus its even funnier when somebody doesnt notice you're using sarcasm and they go batshit with offence.

You could use that sweet, old fashioned Irony Mark.

You could use that sweet, old fashioned Irony Mark.

Or a new-fangled SarcMark.
