I like the little touches Valve added.

Autumn sale for those in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring for those in the Southern. With different pictures to represent those two halves of the globe.

Updated Enhanced Steam to 5.1.1

  • Added support for homepage highlighting on the Autumn / Spring sale
  • Fixed a bug where some some strings weren't being translated properly
  • Fixed a bug where one option wasn't able to be checked or unchecked

How do you do this stuff so quickly? You're pretty fast man.
 
yay, time to buy games that will never get played

nothing for me today, a few games on my wishlist are on sale, but I'll wait to see if they up as dailies

Alright, question: Is there any way to browse the Steam store for "big" games (in terms of production budget)?

I realize that a lot of small games may be fun, but looking through the list at steamgamesales.com made me literally dizzy. There seem to be thousands of titles I've never heard of. I want to see what's out there in terms of blockbuster titles.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Open sale, see things don't highlight, find that Valve named everything on the homepage "insert_season_here_sale_dailydeal_ctn", add that to source code, build, update with Google. :p

But is the image flipped the opposite way for people using Steam in the southern hemisphere?

Hilariously we don't even have a spring sale... or do we yet!?

The Southern Hemisphere has their Spring sale right now!!!

I'm really, really curious what kind of people's wishlists you guys are getting for clicking on the upside down wishlist. So far I seem to be getting random wishlists of other Italians.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Rogue Legacy, Sleeping Dogs, and Antichamber

Which of these is LEAST likely to show up in a bundle soon?

In any bundle? All three have high probability.

In a bundle you can set your own price for? Sleeping Dogs is the least likely to appear.

Sir, your website seems to be down.

If they're big budget they gotta be huge on metacritic. Unless you're looking for big games with horrible metacritic scores, then I don't think that will work.

I'm the only one who is kind of disappointed with this sale??? The deals are there... but we are missing the exciting... the show... The need to step up their game for the winter sale...

This usually is a smaller sale.

It's just showing my own wishlist. :/

How is the Sleeping Dogs DLC? Worth buying the lot for $11? I'd rather just invest $5 into Sleeping Dogs, but if the DLC is awesome...

Yeah was going to mention: be patient while my website (and Enhanced Steam's API) gets hammered by salegoers. I suspect it'll be back to normal within about an hour but get 100% utilization for the first hour of each day's new deals.

I'd do the OT for the Autumn sale but the first post would just have bolded text of me rudely telling the reading to WAIT FOR THE FUCKING DAILY DEALS! AND FLASH SALES!

Sleeping Dogs probably won't be showing up in a humble bundle of any sort. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see it as part of an Amazon bundle with something like Tomb Raider, Hitman, and Just Cause 2 for $10-15.

You are correct, was in a bundle with Hitman and Tomb Raider for $14 a few months ago.

Autumn sale is more a minor thing. Summer and Winter are the bigger events.
