Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'm just going to start arguing against every game someone asks about. Even the ones I like.

I can't keep up with sales threads mentally so I don't bother. Too fast paced for me + no one listens to recommendations so it's like talking to a brick wall.

Hoping for The Movies to go on sale.

don't forget about the 'haul posting' near the end!
Buying a knock-off wireless receiver and using it with my existing wireless X360 controllers was notably cheaper than purchasing an additional, wired controller. Mind you, I've probably spent more than ~$40 on batteries since then, although I did recently purchase a recharge pack, the arrival of which is late.

It also caused you to put down Mark of the Ninja.

We should hang out more. We've really been hitting it off lately.
There is usually a recap at the end of the sale. It's possible that it comes back up.
No, Flash Sales tend to repeat.

There might be a recap flash sale for dailies and flashes last day of sales.
And then your battery pack will stop working 5 months down the line.
The proper solution to this problem is eneloops.
Darksiders bundle (Darksiders 1, Darksiders 2, Season Pass and all the DLC) steam redeemable with separate keys (so you can give away the duplicates, like Darksiders 1) on Amazon for $13 and change is not enough?

Pretty good, but it probably won't be as good as Amazon's current sale.
Plus, the kind of bankruptcy THQ is going through isn't the kind that will leave their games in limbo like Kingdoms of Amalur

So that gigantic indie pack plus the recent Humble Bundle now offering separate keys for everything got me to thinking:
What's the likelihood one or more Steam Seal bundles will let you gift games out of the package individually? It's not completely unprecedented; I believe the Potato pack allowed you to give away games you already had.
It just seems like being able to apportion out a big pile of gifts would be a very Christmassy thing to do.

I dare say that every Steam sale will be topped by another Amazon sale.

Unless it's Capcom
Not sure if it was Dead Rising 2 or SFIV... Either way, I remember one of them not being on sale at all then showing up as a flash sale during the Summer sale, never to appear again.
The only thing that can be said about the flash sales is that that price is the cheapest a game is going to be during the sale.

I'm going to specifically recommend *not* picking up Back to the Future and Deadlight off that list. They were massive disappoints to me.
Abyssal Forge is not part of the Season Pass.

The thing I want most is Rayman Origins for <10 and I see a good chance of it being 7.50. There's a lot of other small things I want but I'm really looking forward to this one.
I didn't use the key for the abyssal forge and it appears on the dlc tab.

Whoah whoah whoah, The Movies is on Steam? I played the demo of it when I was younger and loved it.

It was 7.50 not too long ago on getgamesgo.
I figure asking this question is almost suited for an entirely new thread, but has any developer/publisher been really outspoken about how much profit is brought in from all these sales?
I know smaller indie devs have spoken out about huge profit boosts when launching on steam or when game x goes on sale, but has any larger developer said anything? I'd imagine not because then it would bring about questions of game pricing when at price x means big profits. edit: and I guess THQ openly said how much money was brought in by their bundle, but they were in an odd position to do so.
It also has to do with pricing for sales I suppose, we've gotten so use to deep discounts. If a game launches at 20$, I'm still inclined to wait and know it'll be cheaper on a sale.

Steam started sending emails when a game on your wishlist is on sale, right? I have 51 games on my wishlist. D:
It was.

See, people hate Stallion Free for being upfront and curt, but this right here proves that the true face of evil hides behind a pixelated dog.

as far as i know its both. use the season pass and give away the standalone abyssal forge key
(ithink)
Not to my knowledge. The closest to that is Valve mentioning revenue generated during the Christmas/Winter Sale period being up by x% compared to the year before.

I'm not sure. I added the season pass from the Amazon code and it seemed to add Abyssal Forge to the list of retail DLC. I tried adding the extra code provided for AF from Amazon and Steam said I already owned it.
I hope CSGO gets a 50% discount from the getgo, got banned from Ranked matchmaking for a week* and I need to buy it asap to continue playing on my alt account, I'm too addicted.
* power went out for 5 min in the middle of a match, it was a week because it was considered a repeat offense after I last week got a 24h ban because a server crapped out and wouldn't let me reconnect to it. Yeah the ban system is terrible, a lot of people keep doing lengthy ban because of errors from the game (like BSOD caused by the csgo.exe). :/

Then they changed how it works. It wasn't that way with the season pass on release.

You can turn that off in Account Details.
Yeah, I didn't think so. It's a bit of a catch 22 as I mentioned. If there are big profit increases for these sales, why isn't the base price of these games lower? But like I said, we've all become sales driven, if the base price is lower, we'll still wait for that big sale discount.
It's even better than anything you could get at steam. You get every piece of dlc released for the game.
lololololololWinter is coming...
