If you own everything Two Tribes has done but Rive, you can get it for 41% off using the bundle:
Same discount concept with a (more amateurish) indie game called Scrap Garden:
Edit: Plus this which was on the previous page: Prison Architect for 3.50 € if you own the rest of the bundle.

How likely is Final Fantasy X to come down in the future? They seem slow to drop the prices on these games, I imagine it won't get much better than this sale price for quite a while, eh?
Otherwise, looks like it'll be Abzu, Mortal Kombat XL, and maybe Crusader Kings II for me.

I think this is going to be purchase #1 for me this sale:
And then if I get Steam credit for Christmas, I'll buy whatever the credit amount is worth of Final Fantasy.
How many of those are at risk of being removed? Besides Judge Dredd.
Unfortunately, it's restricted to LA countries only (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Bahamas, Belize, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, Suriname, El Salvador, Uruguay or Venezuela).Instructions for participants:

listen to the mad man
Just Judge Dredd, which is 100% being removed at the end of the sale. Bohemian Killing looked like a great deal on a janky but promising looking independent game. I do think the developers of Order of the Throne are shutting down from making new games, but they own their IP so there shouldn't be any issues there. Rusty Lake Hotel and Sethian and Abzu were just stuff I wanted to play this year.
They have in general not discounted on Steam since release, last time being an exception. They've discounted a few times on Humble. I have no idea why such a good looking and well received game has so badly torpedoed its post-launch management.

The only thing I'm looking at this sale is Hand of Fate with the DLC. I already got the rest of my winter buys.
Maybe I'll wait to see if humble has a winter store sale again and use that humble monthly 10% discount.

I don't know if anyone's pointed this out yet but if you own the original Borderlands games from the Humble Bundle you can get the Pre-Sequel and Tales from the Borderlands really cheap in the Triple and Quadruple packs.
For me it's $4.20 for the Pre-Sequel and $6.75 for it and Tales from the Borderlands.

I was ready to buy Attack on Titan but it's still so expensive. And i only have around 20 euros from selling cards and no more cards to sell...
Fuck, why they didn't go at least 50%??
because its LOLkoei. Ive been waiting to buy Toukiden for years now.

Toukiden was 50% before.

They don't want to sell their games or??
Because according to SteamSpy Attack on Titan BOMBED hard.

That game is really it's own damn thing. The game curve is kind of odd because you sort of "figure the game out" faster than you gain the ability to upgrade your ship, so it can feel a bit grindy at times, but once you get your ship set up the way you want it's a lot of fun.
With that soundtrack I still think it's a crime they didn't add some sort of ship customization that allows you to put a pair of TruckNutz(tm) dangling off the back of your ship.

Orwell is 20% off.

There is a demo too. Very political state security government 1984 simulator.

Why is RE: Revelations 2 so dirt cheap? Even compared to the first game? Is it some kind of microtransaction bullshit game? I'm not familiar with this series of RE titles.
Edit: NM, one episode.

Is there any way to fix it?

Same here, guys. Which Tales game should we get?
Glad you saw it in time - enjoy the games. Icewind Dale is also on sale at Bundlestars for 1c over its historical lowest price if you can/want that too. Great game, and underrated IMO. The combat is really good. Apparently the colde WINTERSALE10 gives 10% off too. Not sure if it'll work but it's worth a shot.
I've been waiting to buy them in Steam for over a year, but was never happy with the pricing, particularly for that expansion for D2. I'm a huge fan of the infinity engine games and I knew I missed the last bundle that had it

Cabela's is being acquired by Bass Pro Shop. Do you think those games are at risk for removal now?
Rayman Legends was fun in coop. Trine 2 somewhat fun.
I have like 66 games on my wish list and forget why I put most of them on there. I think you're weird, too.

I also have a 75% OFF Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition coupon in my inventory if anyone wants to get the game cheaper.
It's just episode 1. It's an episodic game with 4 sections, and two smaller side stories (DLC).

SF v and Lightning Returns so far
am I anime senpai now?
am I anime senpai now?
its 50% right now, which means its still 30€ for a shameful port
its cheaper on GMG since you can use WINTER10 voucher for an extra 10%. Unless you want to use your wallet credit, in that case youre SOL
to be fair my actual wishlist should be like... I dunno, 100 games. I dont know why I have all that shit there either since when push comes to shove (aka sales) I dont buy them anyway. They are there to be removed when I get them from bundles.

Is that the coupon that developers were giving away few months ago or?
I don't think it can be used with discount.
So far:
Think that will be it for me this year, should probably concentrate on my stupidly massive backlog!
- Thumper - Oh god it's good, I have work tomorrow and it's half 10 so going to have to turn it off before it's all I see when I close my eyes.
- Everspace - Love space games although I've failed to get in to Elite. Like Roguelikes and I think the quick action like-ness will be good.

Just wait. Their servers melted and they're still trying to recover. I can't even buy anything.
