    Plain Sight - Steam sale

    So Plain Sight is on sale on steam for $2 USD or $6 USD for a 4 pack. Neat deal but they clearly didn't listen to Introversion when they stated a sale on steam not only saved them from bankruptcy but also provided them operating capital for a full year - currently people are spending 6 hours trying to register the game so they can play it.

    My advice would be grab it and wait for a day or so after the sale ends before trying to install it (some failed authentication attempts have apparently marked people's serial numbers as in use). So you can see what the fuss is all about, here's a vid:

    Looks interesting.

    You should buy a 4 pack and gift it to me.

    Hah, from the Beatnik Games blog:

    Yikes! As some of you may have guessed, our wonderful 80% off Plain Sight Steam deal has caused our account servers to burst into flames.


    This means that when you register an account it can take a number of attempts. Please bear with us! If you can?t get through, either keep trying or give it a few hours to cool down.


    ps: thanks for buying Plain Sight! you?re all awesome?

    UPDATE: looks like the problem has been mostly solved - with a restart!!! Looks like mysql service went a bit rogue and took up all the CPU - good times!
    edit: woot my copy is authed now

    I was looking at that last night, and now I wish I purchased it already.
    Yes, I do know it's the internet. No, that doesn't mean spelling and punctuation are illegal.

    I bought a four pack and spread it around a bit

    just had a big session on a gamearena server. It's quite a lot of fun once you work out that you NEED TO DO THE UPGRADES.


    biggest issue is lack of any ability to filter out servers by name, or find anyone you know to play with.

    wondering if they'll get support for steam friends in there since it has steam achievements

    skimming their blog, it looks like they've added quite a bit to it since it was released.

    4 pack is $6, be generous, buy one and share it about.
