I currently have a falling out with Steam over a customer service issue. As a Blender subscriber (gold member), can I download and install outside of the Steam universe?

How can I install  beta ?   I see on their website that they only offer a 64-bit installation files, but the sources are open.   I can't use the usual ./configure &amp;&amp; make. So, what can I do ?

Can I install extra desktop environments without affecting my current environment?   I'm asking because I got mixed messages saying that it is no problem as well as those that say that the universe basically exploded when they switched temporarily.

Which games (except Torchlight) store the current state of the game to the Steam cloud?   What is the Steam Cloud?  Steam is Valve's online game purchasing and digital delivery service/platform. Steam Cloud is a fairly new addition to the Steam platform that saves the state for various games to Steam's servers in the "cloud". Depending on the game it can save things like your savegames, character setup, keyboard mappings, options, etc so that any PC that you go to will download all those settings for you and keep them in sync as soon as you log into Steam.

In the settings I can't choose another device to render other than the CPU.     According to the blender wiki the GPUs "with a GCN Architecture superior or equal to 2.0 are supported".     And as I understand my GPU (R9 270) should be supported, according to this table from wikipedia(and has GCN 2.0 and up):   Or am I wrong and my GPU isn't actually supported? :(   GPU:    R9 270 (latest drivers)  OpenCL version: 22.19  Blender version: 2.79

Windows upgraded itself (from 8.1) without uninstalling Blender, but Blender wouldn't correctly work after this (look at the error message below).   Video won't show.  Does Blender work with Windows 10? What's the proper way to install it?  Here's the message:   It might be a matter of my hardware not being correctly detected by the new Windows, but anyway it's a good question. Does Blender work in Windows 10? Has anybody succeeded installing any version?

I recently purchased retail boxed versions of   Dead Island (which is awesome) Warhammer 40k: Space Marine (not so much)   I finished both games and I was thinking of reselling them or giving them to a friend to play. However, these are both Steam activated games that had a required Steam registration code I had to enter -- and validate on Steam -- as part of the installation.  If I give these games to a friend or resell them, will they even work? Is the registration code single use and tied to a single person / computer / Steam account?

I installed Blender from official Ubuntu repository but its version is always behind the version available from the official Blender website.  I'm aware that I can launch the program within the downloaded folder, but i want to replace the install version with a new version downloaded from the website?   It must be present in the unity launcher.  I'm also aware of the available PPA's that are available, however I just want to install Blender manually.  Thanks in advance

My gaming computer is currently downloading Napoleon: Total War and Supreme Commander 2 which I purchased on Steam, and which will take some time to complete. While this download is going on, I would like to play some of my other multiplayer games on my laptop, but I would rather not interrupt the download to do so.   Is it possible to have both computers logged in at once? I know if I was playing a single player game, I could set Steam into offline mode, then resume the download on the other computer, but this won't work for multi player games.

What exactly is Steam? Isn't it DRM?  What can I do with it?

My friend has an original copy of the game and was wondering if he could play online with me if I buy the HD version on Steam.

If I make a scene and then render it with BR or Cycles, am I allowed to use that image in a commercial project? Do I need to include any copyright notice or license?

I have just bought a new computer and I have everything migrated over except for my Steam games.  I looked in Program Files/Steam/ and I found a folder full of the games I have downloaded, but I do not know if it is safe to just copy these folders from one computer to another (seeing as a lot of other applications will not work if you do this), or is there another recommended way?  I don't really feel like re-downloading all my games. I don't have the time nor bandwidth to download 20GB over a 1.5mbps connection.  Is it possible to contact Valve and get a disk with the games on it?

I just browsed through my steam games library and saw 'Steam App 210890' as something I could install. When I tried to install it,  to see what it was, steam told me that it would be downloading now, yet nothing happened.  Now I'm just wondering, what is that?

I recently downloaded 'Blood Bowl' on Steam to my Mac, not realizing that it was not Mac-compatible. Is there any software or any way that will allow me to play it, as obviously I've already paid for it? Cheers.

I would like to buy a game (well several copies of it really) for some of my friends for Christmas. Is there any way to do this? Would I have to rely on the publisher, or is there some way to "gift" apps from the market?

I love how homebrew makes my life easier! Though, I just realized that I don't really know who is "signing off" the stuff I get installed through it. So, I ask:    Is there a central repo (like Linux distro PPAs)?  Or is it all decentralized (ie. code gets downloaded simultaneously from Github, Source Forge, etc)? What mechanisms are in place to prevent trojan horses from being installed through brew?
