TDF Game Backup Vault [Updated Weekly]

[iittopper]

can anyone clarify about this



and



just want to know which process to use to send f2p games that have independent installers from third parties, where installation works even without steam. eg: tribes ascend.

Most of F2P games like Planetside 2 , RIFT , TERA , Blacklight Retribution have their own installer . So even when you copy the whole game , you have to download extra files from game launcher . Example - After copying Planetside 2 files to my steam folder , launcher downloaded 9 Gb more .



Origin
Bad company 2 8.5 GB
Battlefield 4 - 31.5 GB

Steam

Blacklight Retribution - 13 GB
Just Cause 2 - 4.8gb
Fallout 3 - 6GB

Location - New Delhi

Isn't distributing game files kind of illegal?
I tried it and got pretty decent warning

 

[hsr]

this steam thread says the otherwise. Anyways, even if you restore a game that you haven't purchased, it will not be listed in your library. If you don't have it in your library you won't be able to play

cleanup, please understand this is not a game discussion thread

oh boy. Even I heard it's illegal.

Clearly you've misunderstood the concept then. Steam backups can only be restored and used if you have purchased the game yourself. There have been no such instances (not that I know of) where people were charged with copyright infringement. You "pay" the shipping price and that's basic human ethics, not resale or redistribution.

updated list till now ( 10 May 2014 11:00 AM )

[MENTION=127755]arijitsinha[/MENTION] your list is long, I have to manually search and see as of now so will do it later once you have the sizes?

So what you trying to implement here is deploy and maintain a central repository of all games that are in steam libraries of individuals and can be restored by only them ( as in they are the owners ), if i'm not wrong this consolidation will be done on optical media and shared across members?

So point is if this is not resale , they why is there a necessity to making it distributed across regions as "backups" when one can always back it up numerous ways they can specially when there is an Associated cloud.
