    They have lots of games with both the Steam logo as well as the DRM-free logo though. Meh, I just mailed them about it. We'll see.

    (Also, yes! Buy for you boyfriend! :))


    To buy more to give to friends of course. Tis the season and all that. :)

    That's WHY you didn't have the money.

    By the way, I got an answer back from Humble Store. The thing they sell there is a Steam key, so that's why it has no DRM-free logo and only Steam.

    Actual response, if interested:
    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out to Humble Bundle Support!

    I apologize if there was any confusion, as this title was not a DRM-Free offering on Humble Bundle, and the game includes a Steam key to redeem to your Steam account.

    The developer may be hosting a DRM-free download on their own site, but have partnered with Humble Bundle by presenting a Steam-accessible version of the title.

    I hope this provides some clarity :]
    Please let us know if you have any further questions, and have a great day!

    Warmest regards,
    Angel

    Implying Steam is the entirety of the games user base, not to mention play the game online.

    https://forums.uberent.com/threads/pa-stats-usage-statistics.65804/

    If all players used Steam then a much larger percent of players use PA Stats than we thought considering the numbers.

    Over 500 users using PA stats at one point during September:

    [​IMG]
    At the same time these are the statistics Steam gives for september.

    And finally this is how many players were actually seen by PA stats (That means someone had to actually be in a game with someone who happened to have PA Stats installed) in September.

    [​IMG]
    Notice this, Steam says there were a bit over 2k players online in September at the peak, PA Stats says it SAW above 4000 players, again that requires that someone actually be in a game with someone that had PA Stats, which means everyone not in a game with a user of PA Stats wasn't documented.

    That means there were even more undocumented players, 2000+ were Steam, and at least 2000 more were not using Steam. A bit over 500 of which were using PA Stats at the time, and all of this isn't even counting all of the people who played offline...

    So that's right, your data is void, do some more research please. :)

    Won't matter, they are staunchly anti Uber and PA. They were much less polite about it on steam too. No point arguing some people.

    I love numbers, they do not lie…you can twist them, but numbers are what they are. The steam stats are straight forward; they show the average number of players. In order to register on steam tracks, you must launch the game. The real question, what is steams share of the total PA player base? The steam charts are very easy to understand. If you have PA via steam, and launch PA...steam will load, the player will then register on Steam chart. At the time of this reply (12-10-14 - 1:29 PM EST) there were 692 players in game, I got that number by clicking community hub on the PA store page.

    I just showed you real data though? Less players use the Steam version than you pretend, 50% at most it seems, at least during January.

    If PA stats saw 4000 players and Steam only recorded 2000 then that means Steam is half of the total players than PA Stats recorded seeing. This isn't even including the extra players who played offline that Steam wouldn't record; not to mention the players online that didn't use Steam that weren't recorded by PA Stats.

    You can't argue against the data I use, my data clearly shows that there are MANY players that don't use Steam.

    This is more or less my problem. I don't know what to do yet with my extra copy I got for $5 :p

    Edit: Or the 8 7 Super Hexagon keys nobody will take. Come on! I got them for 49 cents!
