I'd really like Valve to take an official policy on post-release changes that break games, but for what it's worth they have not given me any hassle with refunds in these scenarios.

This is a fantastic addition to the store page that I'm sure will cut down the number of refunds valve staff have to deal with. I wonder if publishers will complain about this transparency impacting their sales ...

Crazy.. I've always suspected it was some kind of targeted BS. They spend money to pay a cop to sit there all day and ticket broke people with $150 fees, when they could paint a ped crosswalk and make the store easy to access. It felt designed to be actively hostile to pedestrians. And of course there's always tenats moving in and out, constant source of new ppl that didn't know how strict they are.

Cops around me regularly use jaywalking for fuckery too. I lived in a low income apartment directly across the street from a convenient store. Basically a stones throw from apartment property entrance to store front door. It wasn't a terribly busy road, it was four lanes and did get traffic, but it was pretty easy to find breaks in the flow and cross.

To get from the apartment to the store legally, you had to walk nearly a quarter mile (400m) to the nearest cross walk, cross, then another quarter mile back to the storefront.

Police would post up outside at that store and write jaywalking tickets all day for anyone that didn't know better. I watched those tickets escalate into detainment and occasionally searches and arrests if they argued with the officer about it.

Edit: of course if you had a car, you could just drive across the street to the store. No problem with that!

One of my favorite sets, I keep mine displayed under my monitor. I hope Lego releases more F1 speed champs, the size is perfection.

Harris was right, these are very unserious people. They seem to spend their entire lives making "jokes".

Ahh cool! That makes sense, I bet they look great in person

I think they're just talking about the black background on the Batmobile displays, not moving them from their position. They're suggesting making the center of the Batmobile frames grey, introducing some contrast to make the model more visible. (And which I agree - maybe it's not as bad in person, but it is hard to see the batmobiles in the picture)
