[QUOTE=Bung Piece;29237212]Is this 15 free potato thing on steam forums [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1841938[/url] real, known of ect I only ask as I just woke up and see 9 pages of people saying its legit over there but no word here.[/QUOTE]
People who used it had all their potatoes removed.
ouch, people who clicked it won't be able to get their potatoes back for now, they'll see which ones are legit and which ones not.
From another disappointment to other disappointment and from there... To new disappointment.
I'll put the quote on this page too.
[quote="afarnsworth"]It's a little late right now. In the morning I'll sort out what potatoes are legit and which are not and grant them back. In the meantime, you won't be able to obtain any more potatoes (legit or not) if you used the site.[/quote]
Could've been worse.
I know I'm not the only one to think this, but Valve is just.. making us sad. They get us all hyped cause of the countdown, and they kick us in the face when it's over telling us to continue playing indie games.
Then, we complete one game, and we get only 1 hour off the release date. Then, 25%, nothing. Second game complete, 40 minutes off. 50% - no reward.
300k potatoes - still nothing.
Now, they take away tons of potatoes.
Valve, just.. stop.

The amount of potatoes lost is slim at best. Heck, I refreshed the page after seeing the removal and the countdown actually ADDED another 1,000 or so potatoes to the count.
[QUOTE=JohnWallace;29237260]Not a scam, but it clears your "progress". Just look to the left at my profile.
What's funny was that topic was deleted - then revived. And they still removed the potatoes.[/QUOTE]
okay it's not a scam. it even signs you in through steam open access with https, but they must have found out people are doing this.
it's not working anymore, so it got pointless :(

They only took away potatoes that were cheated. And it didn't even affect the Auxiliary Power at all as far as I can see.

you know they could have NOT done an ARG and just had a normal release, a few trailers, nothing happens for a few days and then release day. but they went out of their way to make an ARG and promote indie games
quit bitching
Potato count didn't drop...much
I might be the last one to use that thing, the warning message popped up when I was trying to get the last one.
Now I might lose all my potatoes :saddowns:

At least you weren't thrown in the oven with the other 10 million potatoes. Potatocaust had a slightly higher death toll. The entire country of Ireland....gone.....Never forget.

I bet it'll be finished with 30 minutes, it's been going quite fast even with 500 CPUs.

I like to imagine someone reading this post out of context.
Time to get the stopwatch and watch how much time does it take for Valve to clear my potatoes.
[editline]17th April 2011[/editline]
my 'merge.
Why did it say cannot connect to database on my profile?
Looks like I got my potatoes back - including the "cheated" ones.
Temporary downtime maybe? I can see my Steam profile fine, my potatoes are still intact. :ohdear:
Someone explain that thread for me please it was removed before I got to the link, was it potatoes for people who didn't own the games?
Would of been around for it but there was only 800 posts after waking up so I decided to read them.
[QUOTE=JohnWallace;29237513]Looks like I got my potatoes back - including the "cheated" ones.[/QUOTE]
Maybe the guys at Valve just said "fuck this, i'm not going to sit here to decide what's a cheated tater or not, they can have their dumb potatoes"
These bars are going much faster now, woke up at 6 and rush was half way and the total bar was 40-something percent. Woke up 3 hours later to this.
[quote="afarnsworth"]The potatoes were never deleted - they were just hidden from the profiles of the users who cheated.[/quote]
Well then... Nothing to see here, it's not like I clicked anything. :ninja:
So why did people lose taters? Im reading the last few pages but people are just talking about "it" and not what "it" is.
[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;29237528]Maybe the guys at Valve just said "fuck this, i'm not going to sit here to decide what's a cheated tater or not, they can have their dumb potatoes"[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, really
[QUOTE=bionic0n3;29237604]So why did people lose taters? Im reading the last few pages but people are just talking about "it" and not what "it" is.[/QUOTE]
There was a website that generated links for you to get the Aperture Login potatoes, even if you don't have the game.
[QUOTE=bionic0n3;29237604]So why did people lose taters? Im reading the last few pages but people are just talking about "it" and not what "it" is.[/QUOTE]
someone made a website which automatically filled in all the login pages for you or something
