That is correct.
I know one game that has a discount that hasn't been chosen.Which is fine as I think even the repeats would probably outsell it 10:1.
but i'm waiting for CSD so i can buy it as a gift
There's a fan patch that reconstructed a lot of missing content.
Not this sale it hasn't I don't think.
(Right? It's all starting to blur together)
Freedom = $1.05

The prices have been ok but there's no fucking point in holding a two week long sale if you're just going to reuse the same games over and over again. Make it a week long instead.
i guess it didn't update in time for me. was still showing 50 vs 85 on my end
It's very, very good. Buy it and download the restored content mod.
Loving the Alan Wake flash/community debacle here. Except... not really. Come on Steam, let's get your game together!
Transistor is tempting but I'm almost out of money right now and a bunch of games are just... that. Tempting. Might wait for the encore and pick up whichever one appears that I'm feeling the most at the time, lol.

I would bet a substantial amount of money that many, many, many did indeed enter higher discounts but just don't get featured. Just look at the community votes that lost and probably won't resurface. Also we always hear from some devs. I can't believe only the games we've seen a dozen times are in the available pool.

You could always buy something specifically to give it away...

But I get a message that I already own some part of that package and therefore simply can't buy it, I can just buy it as a gift to someone else. Incredibly strange imo, unless this is a restriction only for sales which might make sense from Valves perspective I guess since it would push people to go for the more expensive complete editions at once.If you buy legendary while already owning regular edition then you will get an extra copy of the regular that you can gift away. I might be wrong on the gifting part though

Did want to stand strong and not be part of the hype... Then phoenix296 happend. Thanks now I can join in on the fun!
I enjoyed it back then when it was freshly released and played through it again when i got steam keys for it as part of the WB Humble Bundle.
I think it holds up well as a shooter, however it feels a bit dated. This is especially true for the "horror elements" because while FEAR manages to create a dense atmosphere it relies heavily on jump scares ... and they failed to work on me during my recent play-through.
I'd say get it if you want a solid shooter, but not necessarily when you want a good horror game.

Nah, it won't. They're listing it as getting an 85% discount, the same it has now.
Nuh-uh.
Also because in case it wins the vote, it'll go on sale only after the end of the current flash...

Remember though, it isn't that the deals suck, that Valve keeps repeating deals over and over, or that they have poor discounts, or that they games they are picking are pretty much the same group of games that are always on sale. The real reason behind any bad impressions you might have about the sales nowadays is specifically due to you having bought all of the games already.
Remember that absolute truth.

Crafted a summer adventure badge and got a purple team emoticon. ...I'm on the green team you dummies.
Dreadful deals though I'm considering Octodad. Has it been cheaper during the sale?

What I find really weird is Valve hasn't seemed eager to improve their service or their big sales despite a recent influx of really heavy competition. It actually seems like they've gotten a bit worse. I kinda wonder if it's to do with the storied "work on what you want, no one is above another" work structure.
many words were said already about this game
for those that might missed the deal, here is a good game

It's also 85% on the community vote, or am I seeing this wrong?
Oh absolutely. When they chose it in December it was coming off of a strong October/November launch. Past January it's been considerably slower (obviously) so coming into the summer sale, the data is far less impressive. I'm sure they're going by sales momentum and they've made the right decision if it never gets featured.
I have no doubt that my game would probably be in the lowest of sales tiers if it got a flash/community vote. There's no way in hell it had a chance for daily, as the numbers aren't there. Still it does sting to see the same couple of indie games rotated through dailies/flash/community several times over the course of the sale.

1. Why the fuck is Alan Wake a flash sale now and possibly a community sale in 8 hours?
2. Price is $4.49 now. Vote is saying $4.50 later. (Both 85%) How is that a discount?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut goes on sale for $4.99 about once a month. My loyalty discount makes the every day price $4.99. I'd like to play it again, but there's absolutely no reason for me to upgrade until I'm ready to play. If they changed the loyalty discount to 20% during the sales and I saw it for $3.99 I'd just buy the thing and may never even get around to it. As it is now they're less likely to get any money. I assume I'm not the only one.
So the community choice things are just thrown together by an algorithm with no actual human looking at them right? There's literally no explanation for the frequency of a game going on sale WHILE IT'S ALREADY FUCKING ON SALE four or five times already. I try not to get too annoyed with the sale stuff, but that's just ridiculous.

GOG's sale has been so much better it isn't funny.
Ordinarily I'd rather have everything on Steam but the sale has just been that bad.

really disappointing. waiting on volgarr, csd, strider, double dragon. oh well, maybe I won't have to refill the wallet from my initial outlay.
Anybody?
I'd hope Valve isn't this tone deaf.

how do you figure?
It was like that the other days two. Red always needs a hour or two to get going.
It always seems competitive for the first hour or so then one team gets a sizable lead and it snowballs from there.
I have another one too, but something went wrong, it didn't come to my e-mail, so I'll try to do one more giveaway later, for those that slept during this deal.
