It's always been $5 per invite, wilflare is correct about the cap though.

Right, I meant they're reducing it from $5 soon. Didn't know about the cap though, that part actually sounds like a better move than reducing it.

They probably will for the 10 year anniversary.

Okay ruskies, now it's time to gift us games

 

[Drkirby]

Deus Ex HR is $17 on the Russian Steam now.

Actually, it looks like some things are more expensive, the Witcher 2 was $20, now it is 799 rubles, which is about $26.

 

[Salsa]

Serious Sam 3 is a big one. I think its like 18 bucks to pre-order in Russia.

 

[Drkirby]

Hoping Steam Prices updates soon, I want to be able to quickly glance for the dealz.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Nelo Ice]

how much is red orchestra 2 on the russian store? may actually make a paypal account if prices are that cheap. lol.

 

[Scythian]

I suppose trading with russian users is allowed... what's the price for Dead Island over there?

 

[Drkirby]

$18 for RO2, $30 for Dead Island.

It should be noted there is no single game that is more then $30.

299 rubles is the Russian "$19.99", except that it is actually $10. So, it is fair to say games are about 50% the price in Russia.

[Salsa]

calm down duders, there's no paypal in Russia yet and there's about 3-4 russian steam gaffers afaik, we're gonna kill them

 

[AcridMeat]

calm down duders, there's no paypal in Russia yet and there's about 3-4 russian steam gaffers afaik, I'm gonna kill them

Fixed.

 

[Scythian]

Damn, should've waited to buy RO2... Oh well...
So, is there someone who'd be up to trading me Dead Island for a game of equal value?

calm down duders, there's no paypal in Russia yet and there's about 3-4 russian steam gaffers afaik, we're gonna kill them

But there's trading, right?

 

[Salsa]

Fixed.

pff

PFFF

But there's trading, right?

well yes

but you need to consider that trading for a game of "equal price" is a bit different when almost every game is already cheaper there

 

[The_Player]

You're right (Damn)... I guess there's no way to do this yet?

 

[Gvaz]

lol $20 for settlers 7 and risen, jesus, and $26 for rfa and dungeon siege is laughable.

The rest of those sound good though. $10 for eye? Sold.

 

[GhostRidah]

Looks like I need a Russian friend... anyone?

 

[Nelo Ice]

if only steam had the trading $$ update out now would so be up for $18 RO2.

 

[AcridMeat]

The more time passes that RO2 isn't out the more I regret the pre-order a month ago.

 

[Sinatar]

The more time passes that RO2 isn't out the more I regret the pre-order a month ago.

It unlocks in like 15 hours, plus if you preordered you've had access to the beta the whole time.

 

[Scythian]

Nevermind, stealth edit

 

[AcridMeat]

Edit: Reading comprehension failed.

I meant the deals that have been out there would have been nice.

 

[Smash88]

And this is where I meet my first Russian friend.

Any Russian's looking for a Canadian friend? :3

 

[Chronoja]

I don't see it posted here yet so here is this russian steam link

?cc=ru

for anyone looking to see the Russian prices. Save a lot of hassle.

Edit: the big banner does it as well lol but the suffix tag is still good to be aware of since I'm sure it won't be there forever.

 

[Weenerz]

Now that Darksiders has gone off sale on the THQ store, I shall spam my trade. I am trading a copy of Darksiders from Steam for Limbo, or a $10 game I don't own.

 

[jaundicejuice]

And Serious Sam 3 has been pre-ordered. What can I say, I',m a sucker for a 20% discount. Between this and Hard Reset I think I've got all of my oldschool shooter needs covered. Well, maybe I should dig out that physical copy of Painkiller and see if I still have the key.

It unlocks in like 15 hours, plus if you preordered the Digital Deluxe Edition you've had access to the beta the whole time.

Fixed. Pretty sure the base game pre-order doesn't come with beta access.

 

[Chronoja]

Am I calculating this right?!

UK - Serious Sam 3 preorder at -10% = £26.99
Russian - 539 py6 = £11.24

?! This is huge savings, and this is true with many games. and it's not even a steam sale. What trickery is this?! I get the feeling I've input the wrong currency lol

If this is accurate any russians could make a real good name for themselves by setting up a dedicated gifting channel.

 

[Echoplx]

Since when was RO2 up for pre-load? I wish they would do news posts for this stuff more reliably :/

Also where's the OT at?

It's all about price formation. We've got here one of the lowest salarys in the world, FYI. And of course cheap prices is a good way to beat the piracy - it's still pretty damn popular over there. Also, Gabe said that our market is the biggest in the Europe after GB and Germany, so he surely know how to do things right.

First of all we need a working pypal here. I doubt you'll find too much patrons here.

Sorting things out with Valve. Can't tell why due to NDA, said things should be hopefully taken care of this week. (Post was made last week).

WTF just logged into steam and theres about 23 games paused in the download section all of which are already installed??

 

[weekendCONFIRMED]

Wasteland Angel demo is up finally. I don't care what Total Buscuit says, game is good simple fun.

Then again, I'm a sucker for these types of arcade shooters.

I love the main character's design, too.

 

[Echoplx]

Looks like Civ V GOTY is coming soon, up for pre-order on GMG ($45)

[panda21]

So, Call of Juarez was the Daily Deal (yesterday) and it ends in 14 minutes? http://store.steampowered.com/app/21980/

How come this never appeared in my client yesterday?

It didn't show up in the store until 4-5 hours late if I recall correctly. We all figured it was Episode 3 and Portal 4, but it turned out it was just a late daily deal.

Pick up CoJ or not... Hmm..

Also, WTF AT THE RUBLES. JESUS THE PRICES ARE INSANE.

Deus Ex HR for 12 bucks!

Even the CoD games are 60% cheaper.

Since you have like 5 minutes here is the quick CoJ rundown:

* If you HATE limited FOV that may be unfixable, do not get it.
* If you HATE western-themed games, do not get it.
* If you HATE possible aim assist (can't remember if this is optional), do not get it.
* If you HATE the idea of boss fights with quick-react QTEs (don't think there are too many), do not get it.


* If you LIKE first-person games and western cowboy stuff, get it.
* If you LIKE cover shooters and a variety of environments, get it.
* If you LIKE the idea of custom maps and a map editor and a dev site with more maps, plus multiplayer with custom maps and I think dedicated servers, though no one presumably plays them, get it.
