    haven't they pushed it to the 24th?

    The only people saying that would be Steam themselves. Other sources still say today. Doesn't matter, I preordered, put the code in, and they removed the game from my list.

    huh?

    It was there, now it's gone. I assume that's because I redeemed the code early.

    no. have you checked the option to show all games (not only installed games)?

    have you used the search field?

    Also check your account page:
    https://store.steampowered.com/account/

    the game should be listed there.

    If not contact Steam support or the store where you bought the game to check if/why the key was removed.

    It's listed under my Store Transactions as "The Cave Retail", so I assume I'll get it when the game officially launches, which has been changed to "whenever it comes out".

    Ron said over twitter that he's the one that will be flipping the switch for the PC version, and that The Cave will be releasing late afternoon PST. The timer is just wrong.

    Yeah, it disappeared from my Steam profile list, library and everything too. It does say I own it on the store page, so I'm not exactly worried yet.

    It doesn't for me. I can even put it in my cart to buy it again, and it will let me.

    It's in my Library now, under C

    Not mine. I even tried logging off, then back on, and nothing.

    Edit: So, it's released now, apparently, and I still don't have my copy. Who do I talk to about this?
  • edited January 2013
    Amazon's pre-order deal was extended, so I bought it after it released and got the pre-order credit, and started downloading immediately.

    If you had it before and suddenly don't now, I'd talk to Steam Support.

    Yeah, I sent them a message, so now I have to hope that they'll get back to me sometime this year.

    Where did you buy the game by the way?

    Green Man Gaming, but since they gave me the code, and it did work, I assume my problem is on Steam's end.

    check with greenman and retry the code. Maybe there was something wrong with the payment and they blacklisted the key.

    Daily Deal:

    header_292x136.jpg

    50% off. Seems to have been on sale a lot lately. Hmm.

    Also - I know it's not Steam, and I know most of us have negative opinions of the service, but I have to point it out anyway: There's some amazing deals over at Origin at the moment. Like, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Batman: Arkham City GOTY Edition, Crysis 2: Maximum Edition and Two Worlds II GOTY Edition for £5 each.
  • edited January 2013
    By the way, the weekend deals are Chivalry(F2P weekend) and Hotline Miami at 50% off each.

    I don't think that's it. I asked around, and it turns out some other people have had the game removed from their accounts, and they bought it directly from Steam.

    OK, lot to discuss today!

    First, the Daily Deal:

    header_292x136.jpg

    66% off. I think it was that during the Christmas Sale as well, so if you missed it then, it's worth checking out.

    The Weekend Deals, as previously mentioned, are:

    spotlight_image_english.png and spotlight_image_english.png

    Next, we have the Squeenix Weekend. There's 50% off the entire Square-Enix catalogue. The main franchises included are Deus Ex, Hitman, Thief and Tomb Raider. Each day there's an extra saving, and today's is...

    header_586x192.jpg

    The entire Tomb Raider series (except the new one, obviously) is 75% off.

    Finally, something a little different.

    header_292x136.jpg

    It's 25% off and looks pretty damn good.
  • edited January 2013
    The Hitman series(save for Absolution) is 75% off, and Absolution is 66% off.

    Ok I'm sold, which ones should I get? I know Blood Money is a really good Hitman, which others?
  • edited January 2013
    You might as well get the Collection at that price.

    Daily Deal's Skyrim, which is half price.
  • edited January 2013
    I'm kinda hoping the Sleeping Dogs DLC goes for 75% off.

    True, was Absolution any good? I've heared mixed reviews on it.

    If you have nver played a Hitman game it's the most beginner friendly one. But you may have a good enough time with Blood Money as well. The first 2 games are a little bit on the harder side.

    OK, this whole thing with Steam and The Cave is starting to get on my nerves. The closest thing to an answer we, the people who did NOT receive their copies, are getting are to "delete all your Steam files and reinstall it" or "just wait for the game to be released". Apparently they can't just give us our copies, even if we provide proof of purchase.
  • edited January 2013
    I'm sorry to hear that. You've contacted Steam, yeah?

    Daily Deal:

    header_292x136.jpg

    75% off, as is the DLC and Soundtrack.
  • edited January 2013

    Yeah. That's really all I can do at this point, except maybe wait for a 75% off sale and re-buy it...
  • edited January 2013
    My long, personal nightmare is finally over, I finally got The Cave re-added to my list!
  • edited January 2013
    Hooray!
  • edited January 2013
    Daily Deal:

    capsule_467x181.jpg

    66% off. Does NOT include any of the DLC.

    Also, here's the Midweek Madness:

  • edited January 2013
    I wonder if they've got something big planned for the weekend, if they only put one game on Midweek Madness.
  • edited January 2013
    Steam-redeemable keys for Deadlight is WAY cheaper on amazon, and for slightly more than the Steam sale price you can get a pretty awesome bundle.
  • edited January 2013
    That IS a pretty awesome bundle. At least if you're a US citizen. Otherwise it's just a big tease.
  • edited January 2013
    ...don't I know it.

    Buying this(and any Amazon digital item) from outside the US is actually fairly easy.
  • edited January 2013
    Ooo, useful. Might do that next time they have something I actually want.

    The service they cite is somewhat overkill, if you want to make it easy follow the suggestion they wedged in there about adding a hotel's address to the account.
  • edited January 2013
    Yeah, that's probably what I'd do.
