So... super strange. I added Sonic 2 to my library and it gave me the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis entry on my library... and it has changed the art work on every sega game in my library to the same artwork laid over to make it look like a random Sega system box art. Crazy taxi looks like a genesis game, Bayonetta has a Saturn layover, NiGHTS has a Game Gear layover...

It looks like this:

I literally have no idea how to undo this. I actually permanently removed the Genesis collection from my library via Steam Support, and rebooted steam but no effect. Anybody have any idea how to reset all the game tiles to their defaults? It's... super odd.

They will probably reset them after some time.

This collection is used for every Genesis game at Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/13945/SEGA_Mega_Drive_and_Genesis_Classics/)

SEGA changed the library pics because of their sale, but you can use any image you want on your games (right click it to see the option)

I didn't add Sonic 2 and got the new art too, seems like a temporary anniversary thing.

The free copy of Sonic 2 is part of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive collection. It's a repository for the SEGA games on Steam. The covert art change is just a celebration thing temporarily.

Not a full game, just DLC, but Company of Heroes 2 has been dirt cheap all the time:
store.steampowered.com

Company of Heroes 2 - Southern Fronts Mission Pack on Steam

During the Spring Rasputitsa in early 1943, the Red Army launched a series of counteroffensives against German lines in the southwest. While initially successful, the Germans regrouped and managed to regain the momentum to recapture Kharkov.

Nice, shame it isn't the Ardennes Campaign, which I'm on the fence about buying although I enjoyed the main campaign

I thought I may as well grab the free Rising Storm 2 Vietnam from EGS before it goes away tomorrow. The home page says it's free. The game page says it's free. Every time I go to claim it, it wants to charge me $24.99.

It's not a big deal going without, I just wondered if anyone had seen the same problem and if they resolved it?

Should be free until tomorrow, but I think I already had it so I'm not sure myself.

Yeah it's not just you, my friend also tried to grab it like an hour ago and it was showing the same for him. Abzu was also showing as not free for him but he refreshed a few times and it fixed itself. Refreshing didn't help with Rising Storm though. I grabbed it earlier this week so it seems like this is a recent problem. Hopefully they fix it before 11am tomorrow!

I did a full system restart and it worked now. Or maybe they fixed it since I last checked about 90 minutes ago.
