![]() Rimworld is still available to purchase both via Steam and Ludeon’s website, but Sylvester confirmed via a recent blog post that the free Steam key offer has been disabled for the time being (though users who bought the game before July 17th are still eligible for free Steam keys). Rather than wait for the credit card companies to issue chargebacks that would eat away at Ludeon’s bottom line, Sylvester manually refunded all of the suspicious purchases and disabled their associated Steam keys, making them worthless to resellers. Sylvester could tell that these transactions were made so that the buyers could snag their free Steam codes for the game and then re-sell those codes on gray market websites, making a profit at the expense of whoever’s card they had stolen. However, Ludeon was forced to discontinue their generous Steam key offer after shady gray market resellers got involved.Īccording to Ludeon’s Tynan Sylvester, the studio’s online store was hit with a massive wave of what could clearly be seen as fraudulent transactions made using stolen credit cards. Valve’s PC platform does a whole lot more than merely peddle games.Indie developer Ludeon Studios recently managed to start selling their hit strategy title Rimworld via Steam on July 15th, and were even offering players who had previously purchased Rimworld through their official store a way to get a Steam copy of the game at no additional cost.

If you decide you want to upgrade your hardware, our guide to the best graphics cards can provide with concrete recommendations and buying advice. For non-Steam games, the software that comes with Nvidia and AMD graphics cards also offer FPS counters that can be configured deep in their settings, but they require using the respective in-game overlays from those companies, which are more obtrusive (and difficult to set up) than Steam’s simple settings tweak. The downside of using Steam’s frame rate counter is that it works only with Steam games, or games you’ve configured manually to run through the Steam launcher. Click OK at the bottom to save your tweak, and that’s it! The next time you boot up a game, Steam’s FPS counter will appear in your chosen corner of the screen. ![]()
