DDoS on Valve?

they are preparing the summer sale splashscreen. You all come too early.

 

[Gilgamesh]

Yeah, that's my problem with the Indie Packs. They carefully and purposefully put 1-2 desirable games in each pack and then pad the rest with filler, so that it's really not such a good deal in the end considering you didn't want the other 4 games anyway.

It's still a good deal imo cause the two desirable games usually cost twice the price of the pack separately.

What is this... I don't even...

You've been denied. Hang your head in shame.

 

[Rapstah]

Toki Tori and AaAaAA!!! are updating.
This means something.

And Company of Heroes and Half-Life 2: Episode One for me... uh, the update might just have switched on the download for items I had semi-downloaded already.

 

[Red Blaster]

I'm going to pretend that the real EA prices will be up soon and that their initial offering was just a terrible joke.

 

[The Omega Man]

Brace for impact, hide your wallets!!! it's coming!

 

[enzo_gt]

I got a message from the PotatoFoolsDay steam group yesterday, it just said "Hi"

Portal 2 DLC FINALLY RELEASING?!

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

BAck up no change.

 

[PaulLFC]

I've been PC gaming for like 15 years, I already have all of Valve's games. I want real deals mang

That was just an example but yeah, insane deal for anyone who doesn't have many Valve games, especially with Portal 2 included.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

IS ANYONE MAKING AN OT AT ALL

Why? That's what this thread is for.

 

[Acidote]

Valve should synchronize Summer Sales with the FIFA World Cup and E3.

NeoGAF destroyed.

 

[The Technomancer]

Great!

Unfortunately its mostly games so far that I remember were on sale but don't have prices for, since the store is down

 

[Ifrit]

We want blood

Spoiler

lines

 

[Sanic]

Store was back up for a brief moment, still no splash.

 

[Hamster0]

its back up, but still looks normal

 

[Belfast]

Maaaaaaan. Putting the sale up right before I go to work is killing me. Won't be back for another five hours. (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

No worries, you'll have time to get everything sorted out, I just want a place to post right away when this is locked

 

[Corky]

ooooh lawwwd what's going on!

 

[HBroward]

This new OT2 won't last through the sale unless we get a special sale thread to deflect the posts.

 

[Interfectum]

i'm almost out of body butter... come on Steam!!

 

[PaulLFC]

The Friends panel is saying "No connection could be made to the Steam servers". Looks like it's final prep time.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Quit hitting F5, people. You're making it so F5 doesn't work for me.

 

[mxgt]

1340 specials, holy shit.

 

[apana]

Sales! My reaction:

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Steam will be down for a few minutes of maintenance this morning. It will be starting shortly (10:35AM PDT, GMT-7). Chat, matchmaking, game lobbies, and the Store and Community web sites will be unavailable. Content downloads and game play are expected to remain unaffected.


C'mon Valve my wallet is definitely ready.

 

[Rapstah]

And it's up for real because I have the right layout.

Technomancer is making it now.

[The Broken Ska Record]

I would love to make the thread, but I don't think I'd be home when the daily sales start to update properly.

 

[Lasthope106]

Valve be trolling.

It keeps going down and back again with no changes.

 

[raphier]

Store was back up for a brief moment, still no splash.

That's because they update it via trial & error - technique. It will do that millions of times before the maximum impact into floodgates of doomsday, that once arrived will perish all life on earth with urgent whisper that is devastation and god named gabe.

 

[nara]

Do daily sales expire due to limited quantity?

 

[DanManIt]

store is loading again for me, nothing changed

 

[RyL]

steam crashed so hard ... it even logged me out

 

[thechemist]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines £10.04 on UK store!

 

[JaseC]

Valve be trolling.

It keeps going down and back again with no changes.

They're busy uploading Half-Life 3 which will unlock if we manage to buy X amount of games.

 

[Unconditional]

at least you aren't already at work and steampowered is blocked!

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Valve be cockteasin'

JUSTGIMMETHEGAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working on it

There's a link to the store that shows only games on special, but I can't remember it. Anyone want to give it to me, so I can fill out the list?

 

[Acidote]

I'm gonna squeeze the shit outta that Ukraine server.

 

[Buttonbasher]

THE WHITE WHALE. BLOODLINES IS ON SALE.

 

[enzo_gt]

Do daily sales expire due to limited quantity?

No.. This is DD. occasionally some games will fuck up from lack of keys though, but that's rare.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Valve is clearly trolling GAF now, they keep disconnecting and reconnecting the server to make us think the sale is starting.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Technomancer; don't concentrate on "what's on sale"--you can't possibly document it all, concentrate on sale tips for GAFfers. How long does the sale last? How does it work? What funding sources can you use? Tips about daily vs week-long sales.

When the splash page goes up you can highlight key daily sales.

Yup. Lasthope106, they saw what you did that one time and don't want to deal with you. Sorry.

 

[MRORANGE]

I don't mind doing the OT if no one else is doing it.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Do daily sales expire due to limited quantity?

No, those are just incentives to check the site more often during the sale period.

Real gangsta motherfuckers use Romania homez.

 

[Clydefrog]

Don't fuck this up, Technomancer
