SALES & "SALES"/DEALS

Steam and GOG aren't the only digital storefront with Halloween sales on the go. The Humble Store has one of its own underway too, and for the first two days it's giving a free copy of the steampunk airship combat game Guns of Icarus Online to anyone who shows up.

>>Looks like every store has a Halloween sale going on. I'm surprised UPlay and Origin don't have one too.

 

SOFTWARE

Publishers will soon be able to send games directly to Steam Curators
http://www.pcgamer.com/publishers-will-soon-be-able-to-send-games-directly-to-steam-curators/
For the past couple of weeks PC Gamer has had access to a 'pre-beta' of Steam's upcoming new Curator features. They aren't publicly available just yet—Valve says they're coming after "at least a couple" more weeks of closed beta—but when they are they'll significantly expand the Curator program.
Another big addition is a new program, called Curator Connect, which allows developers to "search for appropriate Curators, and then send a copy of their game directly through Steam."

 

MODS/EMULATORS

Electronic Arts shuts down mod that re-enabled multiplayer in Battlefield 2, 2142 & Heroes [UPDATE]
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/electronic-arts-shuts-mod-re-enabled-multiplayer-battlefield-2-2142-heroes/
UPDATE: Here is the notice that EA sent to the team behind Revive Network. From the looks of it, EA only demands the team to stop distributing the game client downloads from its site. Moreover, the team should stop using EA’s trademarks, logos, and artwork on its sites. HOWEVER, the Revive Network launcher and its servers can still function. The notice does not say anything about them, so the team is free, legally, to keep the MP modes of those games alive. If the team terminates the servers, then it’s their decision and no; it was not forced by EA.

>>Wow! EA being nice, that's something we don't see that often (or maybe they have enough bad press with the closure of Visceral and are using this to calm down fans).
