You're too practical for the steam thread. Also why get anything, if you wait something else will get better.
The man who waits for two birds in the bush, doesn't get the bird in his hand, or something.
The discount is $10 off if you already own SOSE. And if you don't already own SOSE, shame on you.
It's on a game-by-game basis, I recall people having that issue with Mafia II as well.
I redeemed MW2 as well as Darksiders 2 from amazon just fine.
Not exactly though, you need to own Diplomacy expansion for the discount. I pre-ordered the original SOSE, bought the first expansion on day 1 but I'm not entitled to the discount because I skipped Diplomacy.

Why is the Microsoft Flight game not causing a huge backlash and boycott of everything Microsoft/developer that charges insane prices for downloadable content?
Microsoft is that uncle who you never see, but actually showed up to christmas that one year and gave you a shitty present and fucked your mom. We're just so surprised to see them that we forget about criticizing.
Sigh what the fuck man....
Why can't I all of the sudden get steam to even start :S? Been using it for years and these past 7 days it's been a damn dice roll to whether or not I can get steam.exe to start. The process just sits there and does nothing. Stopping at 21,116kb ram usage.

But that's the best one! (I own them all but i dont have the money for preordering)

Have you tried cutting your steamapps folder somewhere safe, uninstalling steam, re-installing steam, pasting back your steamapps folder?
The way I currently get it to work is simply to kill the process via taskmanager and keep trying it until it starts, sometimes the process vanishes by itself and others it just gets stuck.
No point boycotting something I had no interest in to begin with. *hugs FSX dvd case*Why is the Microsoft Flight game not causing a huge backlash and boycott of everything Microsoft/developer that charges insane prices for downloadable content?
It's sort of like with Confrontation -- I'm aware that it has some shitty DRM, but being that it's made by Cyanide, it wouldn't be worth buying even if it didn't have said DRM, so it's not worth the effort raising a stink over it.

This has been happening to me for about a year now. I just put up with it :/
Well you shouldn't. There's options you know, like this thing called Origin, I don't know if you've heard about it.
Which is totally bug-free of course, and hasn't had cases of it deleting entire game installations for no reason.
If I have issues starting Steam, I usually try deleting clientregistry.blob first. Worked for me the last time something got corrupted due to a power outage.
Have you tried deleteing ClientRegistry.blob?

I freaked out 'cause that guy has the same desktop image as me.
I wonder if SpaceChem reports me playing it 24/7 and refuses to let me close Origin, in Origin.
Like many bugs, they're not always widespread. I never have that with Origin.

I used the christmas coupon because I didn't wanna risk it not coming to sale for that.
Also, magic worth it?

Nice. Finally an excuse to pick up to the deck packs I was missing.

I think so. If you play Magic in real life you might be disappointed in the lack of deck building, but it does mean the game is very streamlined and easy to learn and play.
I've never played Magic in real life, but the computer game is actually my most played game on Steam (in number of hours played).
I think the gold version is easily worth the $7.
You don't have full deck building, but you have a wide range of decks to unlock and customize to some extent. Some people don't like that you have to wait for stages of the turns, but I think it makes a great chill game that way.

I've never even touched any magic in my life. Have very little experience with and tcgs in general. I'll give it a shot. It's 7 bucks.
If they handle it the same way they did the 2010 edition it will be obsolete.
I just noticed this too. Does this game have controller support?

I don't mind devs removing older versions as long as the new ones are better and as long as they don't take the option to buy DLC for that old version. "Luckily" I already had bought all DLC for Duels of the Planeswalkers 1 before they removed it.
Edit: Oh wait, you can still buy the DLC.
Edit2: And even the game! I'm having a Twilight Zone moment right now.

GGG is Eurogamer owned, 100% legit.
The table is a lot more grey than red in the actual game.
I just played a hand. Only got four land cards for the entire game. My opponent got 15! I still won though. Death deck is the best deck.

They would have to fix all the bugs and add full deck building and land tapping controls to make 2012 obsolete. But I don't think that's going to happen.
Well then if anyone's interested: http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/alan-wake-collectors-edition

Bought 3 games from them without any hassle. *shrug*
Both of them have been in Bundles for like $1...

Only if you elected to pay that little when you bought the bundle...
Also, doesn't change the value of Spacechem or Frozen Synapse, which are certainly worth the purchase at the sale price from yesterday and today.
$1 Humble Bundle purchasers... :|
Damn just bought it in the daily.... (not like I will get to playing it anytime this decade.)
It, and everything that comes with it, including manuals, avatars, soundtrack, the Fallout Bible, everything.
That's an astonishingly good deal for free.
