Even at 25% off I'd still bite for it. They could get away with 10% off and probably still sell a ton and be on the top end of the charts.
But you don't have it on Steeeeeem!!!

Yeah a 'update everything except TF2' setting would be handy.

Its already on the top of the charts.
They could increase the price by 10% and it would still be there.

Steam ignores when you set it not to update, so it makes perfect sense that it would turn off updates when you actually want them.

What I'm holding out for:
SF Vs. Tekken
Sonic Generations
Ys Origin
Witcher 2
Skyrim (If it's really cheap)
That's all I can really think of.

I know. I meant that during the sale, a popular game on sale for 75% off will probably rise to the top of the charts, pushing ArmA 2: CO down a little bit.

That's gotta be just day one.
It doesn't have Steam achievements. So the decision was easy. The only thing that sucks is manual patching.. Man we're spoiled.

Even an option window akin to the non-Steam shortcut selector would be great:
All it'd additionally need is a select all/none button.
Top of my head, games I'm getting.
Max Payne 3 (will be $30 on Amazon, steam version)
Galactic Civilization II
Q.U.B.E.
Cryostasis
mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe ARMA II
I think thats all I have in mind at this point. Of course, I'll buy way more than that. Not to mention a bunch of indie games I'll probably never play.

When you make the thread, this needs to be at the top of every single page. Evilore, pay me to snipe pages so I can do this TIA

A list would be nice, but rather meaningless unless they fix it so that it actually stops updates when you select it.
It needs to be in giant glitter text.

I'm pretty disappointed in the Ghost Recon Future Soldier PC port. How's Rayman Origins on PC?
That'd be pretty lame. I can't spend money while I'm asleep. Unless...
Still not getting any of my updates. Everything was set to auto update.
0. It wouldn't be fair.

Those packs got added because they got new content. Sega added a new game (that Viking one), The Path got a soundtrack, and the others got some unknown stuff. 1C and Stardock got Summer sale updates, but it doesn't mean the sale is coming tomorrow.

You can't stop the sale train, baby!
Gears of War PC to appear on Steam confirmed?
I think I just want both Alan Wakes (missed the GMG sale, and I even have like $15 credit there =/) The problem is I don't see myself playing what I get. 80% of the stuff I bought and really wanted to play during the Christmas sale is still uninstalled. That said, I've made like $200+ from Diablo so I know I'll buy something else...
whaddbout the flaming gif?one step ahead of ya. This is the bottom of the OP:
edit: holy cow that's a ton of separate gifs
It really should. That version of the game is dead and forgotten, and 2 and 3 never even came out for pc lol.
Can you buy the DD version of that game anywhere?
Huh not the same without watermarks...one step ahead of ya. This is the bottom of the OP:
because fuck visual consistency
how did that dinosaur get in there im no good with computer
you're right tho. Back to the original plan:

What an excellent price.
Same here. I'm sure they'll come soon, though.Wait, I didn't get any updates.
Trust Microsoft to use the game's Marketplace release date rather than its actual release date as an excuse to charge one-third of the RRP.

Ok guys, I just built a gaming pc about a month ago, first one I've had in years. So I got steam and have been enjoying the daily deals/midweek/weekend sales. I keep hearing about the big summer sale though, but what's the deal? I take it that a large swath of games will be heavily discounted all at once but how does it work? Are regular discounted games discounted further during daily deals during the sale? If there are some games that I want that are discounted at the beginning, am I safe to wait until the end of the sale to see if they pop up on the daily deal and if not just buy them then, or is there a chance they will become undiscounted during the sale? Thanks

This is 99.9% safe...except for obvious mistakes or very, very occasionally a game running out of keys. Wait for the daily deals, on the last day, buy anything left. In the worst case, you will just need to wait a couple of months to the next one. You will have more then enough games to tide you over.
This is assuming the sale works the same as all the past ones and it also assumes there will be a summer sale.
Virtually everything has a general sale discount, and many of these games are picked to be Daily Deals, in which case a greater albeit temporary discount applies. Also, the last day of the sale brings together some of the more popular Dailies for those who missed them earlier.
Edit: The Golden Rule of "Wait for the Daily Deals" stems from the fact that you're not losing anything by waiting to see if a game you're after becomes a Daily, whereas if you're impatient, you'll find yourself burned if the game you've hastily purchased at the general sale price is discounted further as a Daily.
