Guys this is dumb. If someone posts a deal from a competitor to help someone there is nothing wrong with that. A lot of time there is nothing to discuss about Steam anyway. The only thing craping up the thread is the discussion of posting non-Steam sales.

 

[morningbus]

Really. So annoying this guy. What was his name? Toma? Awful. On the blacklist with him.

Well, I wouldn't have been nearly as harsh, but that doesn't mean the criticism is without merit. It makes it hard to take the criticism seriously, I'll agree with you on that.

If there was any thread derailment, it was people complaining about what you posted.

And now it's being derailed because of people complaining about people complaining.

Yeah, definitely. I mean, if you don't like it I can only imagine you have some kind of unhealthy attachment to Valve or something.

Agreed.

Is there going to be a sale today? Or is it later this week?

 

[morningbus]

Is there going to be a sale today? Or is it later this week?

People are expecting a sale to begin either on Thanksgiving or Black Friday. I don't think there has been a direct confirmation of that though.

 

[kswiston]

Is there going to be a sale today? Or is it later this week?

I think everyone is hoping for today, but no one knows? I guess we will find out shortly.

I took the fact that there was no midweek sale as a good sign

 

[Lothars]

Is there going to be a sale today? Or is it later this week?

I would think the sale will start in the next day or so.

Wasnt the midweek sale put online a bit later last week as well? I remember some people complaining that it should have been up when they were expecting it but it came a few hours late, didnt it?

 

[snack]

Oh, okay. Thanks guys!

What games are you guys hoping will be on sale?

 

[Forkball]

Last year the sale started on Thanksgiving, so don't expect it to start today.

Oh god, I WANT IT NOW.

 

[Moobabe]

All I'm looking for is Dragon Age: Ultimate - the problem with steam sales is buying shit I don't want just because it's cheap

I think its not that unlikely that it will. In case it doesn't -> Amazon.com offers the downloadable version of DA:OU for 39,99$ which you can buy from anywhere in the world.

Spoiler

Couldn't help it. But I am playing by the "official" rules now, so hopefully no bitching this time.

 

[AnkhWeasel]

Uhh. So I know this is the worst possible time to post this, given the last couple of pages, but I just got an email from Impulse with Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition at $24.97 - 50% off.

Not that that's any good to me, they don't even sell it to Australians. I'll totally bite if Steam matches that, too!

Via the Digital Deals Thread:

I thought this was a major deal at impulse:
DA:Ultimate $25 http://www.impulsedriven.com/daultimate

I'd be surprised if it went much cheaper than that. I'm not sure how long Impulse's sale is for, but keep it in mind if DA doesn't go significantly cheaper.

Edit: Curses! Beaten.

Steam has truly become the face of PC gaming. This is, in essence, the PC gaming (software) OT.

Yup. Well you cant help it. Its pretty damn good. Btw, does Impulse or GOG (or any of the others) have any user statistics? Or is there any comparison for them regarding users, bought games etc?

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Hey, LovingSteam, can you check the Steam registers if they will be adding Crash Time 4: The Syndicate (Alarm für Cobra 11: Das Syndikat in German) soom? The game was just released in German by DPT, but would only be out in UK next year. Steam has part 2 and 3 in its catalog.

It's not available in my region - thanks anyway though

Where the heck are the Thanksgiving sales?

 

[Drkirby]

Valve has decided that they have enough customers now, no more sales, sorry.

 

[Lasthope106]

Where the heck are the Thanksgiving sales?

Last year the sale started Thursday. If Valve is repeating the sale this year, tomorrow is when we should expect it to start.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Where the heck are the Thanksgiving sales?

Steam's actually doing a reverse sale; they're doubling the price of every game and changing their DRM policy so that you only have 7 days to download a game after which you need to pay full price to download again.

Also RailWorks DLC is the only thing that's going to be released on Steam from now to the end of time

This.

 

[Dice]

You think they're going to do any of those crazy sales where it only lasts a couple hours? I'd be pissed if I missed DA:O Ultimate because it was only on sale during the time family and friends were over for dinner.

I have been waiting for years for Vampire Masquerade:Bloodlines to hit $40.

Not to my knowledge, but there have been instances where they don't have any keys left and they "sell out."

[Spwn]

1) Yes, very good.
2) Avoid. I should've done the same.
3) You are a bad person, but fortunately that can be fixed.

DX is only the best game ever made. And it has no sequel.

I'll say that the game is really great if you can tolerate some busted mechanics.

Steam is run by humans, they're just taking it a step at a time.
