I have three bucks left in my Steam wallet, maybe I should get Bionic Commando, I don't know.

 

[RionaaM]

hey, I started in July of 2012 as well! haha

Managed to stay around $50 spent.....even less when you consider about $30ish was card money.

Yeah, I didn't take into account the $8 or so (maybe a little less) I got by selling cards. Not too bad I think.

 

[Chaos]

HEY GUYS


SONIC RACING 4 PACK

ANYONE?


other question: Where is the thing where you can see who quoted you?

I would take one.

 

[Prophane33]

Looks like there's been a slight upward trend in the price of Summer Sale cards. I'm thinking of using the last .50 in my steam wallet to grab a few, just in case.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Haha, that's more than my own monthly salary. Incredible.

Oh holy shit BTW Salsa's list reminded me about couple of games i really want in my collection ^___^

Game for Windows LIVEEEEEEE *shakes fist*

 

[DeadlyVirus]

I think Timedog gave away more copies of Bad Rats than me.

It can't end like this.

Is it the Bad Rats Race?

Since I'm one of the few that doesn't have this GOTY candidate, I'll try to get a copy xD

[X05]

Crafted the level 5 summer badge, probably going to regret it later depending on how much the prices go up lol

Foils are rising, relatively fast.
Regular cards, not so much (yet)

Got a Kerbal foil (which is the cheapest atm). Only going to sell it after the next week

Consider me scared :/

That's a bullet I hope to dodge forever, Matrix-style.

 

[Chance Hale]

Capcom loves GFWL

Luckily it seems to be a thing of the past given DmC and Resident Evil 6 are steamworks. And I managed to survive the rat onslaught, huzzah!

 

[JaseC]

Capcom loves GFWL

Fortunately, Capcom's love affair with GFWL died with the PC port of DMC.

Edit: b10.

Nobody will gift me Bad Rats!

I refuse to buy it, it goes against Bad Rats GAF spirit!

I should have bought some foils last week, some have doubled already.

 

[garath]

So for last day I bought Recettear and Unity of Command. Now I have more than enough games to keep me going. Over $90 if you include the Shadowrun pre-order. Ugh. Didn't even realize it got that bad.

lol

 

[toddhunter]

This would something rather easy for Valve to prevent, though. Also, turning Greenlight into a sub-store would likely make developers hesitant about choosing a publishing partner due to the lower cut of sales this would necessitate -- if they're already seeing sales through Greenlight, then the allure of a "publisher" offering a spot on Steam proper is mitigated.

In any case, Greenlight being a popularity contest clearly isn't working, but at least Valve is acutely aware of this.

Makes sense.

they're moving up pretty fast. about 4-6 cents (up to 24c) each. thats in the last hour or less.

 

[GK86]

So does the ability to get new cards go away when the sale is over?

 

[Chance Hale]

Well fuck, the game just closes upon choosing either direct x version. I have GFWL installed :/ Anyone here have Lost Planet 2 and run into a similar issue?

 

[DeadlyVirus]

They are moving up because smart people are buying the cheap ones and putting them at sale for a higher price. Instant profit.

 

[derExperte]

Yes

 

[HoosTrax]

Sitting on about 50 regular Summer Getaway cards and one foil. Going to be interesting to see where the prices are in a year.

 

[Prophane33]

I feel like a stock trader watching the prices on all these cards. trying to buy some of the summer cards to sell them later, but someones grabbing all that come under .20 faster than I can.

I've done this when fools undercut by more than 10 cents.

if you're on W8, good luck with that. I had to switch back to W7 just to play LP EC: Colonies and LP2

 

[Jason Frost]

HALF-LIFE THREE = CONFIRMED!

 

[GK86]

Yes

Dammit, I would have been idling if I knew that. Thanks.

 

[Chance Hale]

Oh man no. And yeah, using Windows 8.1 beta. Ugh, first unplayable Windows 8 game? :/ Some guy in the steam forums said he was playing in on 8 but who can know for sure.

 

[wetflame]

I'm not sure whether I should be upset or relieved that I managed to get through the Summer Sale without ending up with Bad Rats in my inventory.

 

[JaseC]

Only Summer Sale cards will no longer drop, since the Summer Sale is no longer active; cards tied to games will continue to drop as usual.

 

[derExperte]

Wait, do you mean cards in general? I meant the summer cards.

Yeah, sorry, meant cards in general lol. Thanks guys.

My market acess is blocked until the 3rd of August, or I would buy 10$ in cards right now and sell them next weekend. I could get another 10$ profit

 

[DamnTheMan]

So will we go back to getting vouchers for completed sets ? Also I don't think they're going to double in price but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[NingenJanai]

So, I bought a new laptop and want to move all my steam downloaded games and stuff to the new machine, is there any program or guide on how to move the stuff? should I just copy the steam folder from the old machine to the new one?

 

[catabarez]

Down to 60 cents after buying a bunch of foils. Now to play the waiting game.

What do I do with 60 cents? :/

 

[Goodacre0081]

I usually buy boxed copies for my PC but I went a bought my first steam game. Torchlight2 for $5 yesterday. does anyone know the original price at launch?

Just install Steam on the new laptop and, before logging in, move your existing steamapps and userdata folders (if you have screenshots and the like) to the new installation directory. You'll need to install the games again (or "resume" an update), but Steam shouldn't actually download anything provided they're up-to-date.

$20.

I was hoping for one last community vote. I voted every time otherwise.

[Echoplx]

Will be funny if everyone currently buying cards for low prices tries to sell them later and end up undercutting everyone else down to cheap prices yet again.

Going to enjoy seeing how it all plays out at least.

 

[Chance Hale]

I just want to play Lost Planet 2 ;-;

 

[MMBosstones86]

regular cards are increasing, just a very small amount. I think I saw them around $.14 earlier in the week and now can be had for about $.19

It's not much, but i doubt the price will get super crazy.

Don't expect that. No more card for SSS are going to drop, making the cards even more rare

I was in that very same situation, I also upgraded to the 8.1 preview, if that "helps". As I said before I got really tired, I tried everything I could, installing different GFWL app versions, installing other GFWL games just to see if that could fix the problem by installing any file, but it didn't work, I also tried with a different GPU drivers. in the end I got tired so I decided to go back to W7, and here I am, running LP flawlessly
