Everything listed plus the second Dungeons of Dredmor DLC pack, which is the only thing I didn't yet own. (Stupid Steam sales making me buy all the things.)
Hmm, wonder if it's worth remaking the giveaway to combine the game and DLC. I actually have no idea how essential the DLC is to the game so maybe it's okay to give away the two separately?

This is how I am, although I've played a few matches and would like to play more but am still nervous clicking the find a match button.
Sleeping Dogs is awesome. Nice to see more people will play it.
lol, too much backlog but gotta watch ti3
Try the tutorial or play vs bots first to learn, you can also add me, i'd be happy to help a newbie.
Darwinia worked, thanks!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity.

FWIW the restriction is on people who won within the last DAY, not week!
Forgot all about the giveaway, but thanks for the chance.

Jesus! DOTA2 has passed the 400k concurrent player base.
I replayed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City over the past two weeks. Asylum is definitely the better game, but combat got quite a bit better in City and getting around was a bit better. But the things to see in Asylum were so much more exciting, all the small references to villains. So good.
Valve must be making cash hand over fist. All those marketplace transactions.

497,332 peak today. Just wait until the finals.
The next groupees bundle
Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, Ether Vapor Remastered and Yatagarasu Attack. The first 2 games have steam cards.
Thank you for Cubemen Dimitri!
that looks cool
so I manage to tear myself apart from The International for some gametime. I go to the internet just for 10 minutes to look up something, end up watching Quakecon.
well shit
It almost hit the 500k mark earlier in the day.

Grabbed Aztaka completely blind based on thread. Can't argue with the price.
That's a nice selection of games you offered. Good on you.
WoW is sitting at 8 million total subscribers now last time I checked GAF? LoL has 5 million concurrent. Think about that.

arghh I'm always late to the party....any chance for a 75% off with Fallout New Vegas ultimate ??
Why does LoL have so many more players?
Unless I'm way out of mark here, It was a paid game, it had a small amount of characters, became F2P rapidly after being released, it has characters behind the pay wall...
Other than being an easier take on the (original) DOTA gameplay, I don't understand why it's so popular.
Everybody and their mother plays LoL in Brazil, and I can't understand why they would, then there's Dota 2.
Yeah... but this is 500,000 people online at one time. There's no telling how many individuals there are in total.
LoL sits at around 1.3 million online at one time at its peak throughout the day.
I think it's because they are already invested in the game. LoL came out first, and over the years the people that play the game have unlocked a lot of heroes, runes and items either by playing the game for shit tons of hours or by paying money. It's not easy to change game when you have that sort of time/money investment.
There's also the fact that LoL is easier to get into.
But there is a very popular statistic that said LoL reached 5 mill CONCURRENT. And what do you mean by "in total?"
From the (very little) that I understand, it's a more streamlined experience than DOTA, but it's heavily based on DOTA, while DOTA 2 is a straight up ripoff of everything DOTA, including crazy Warcraft 3 engine limitations that became the norm.
While I understand that making a game like this more accessible is somewhat of a necessity (not really, I guess, right Valve?), I don't see how that can create a, as you said, 10x difference in userbase.
LoL is out in China while Dota 2 isn't, right?
Edit: Now we need to figure out this 5 million LoL userbase vs 40 million Steam users (hey, the game is free, every Steam user has the game, right?
). The more important number is the concurrent users. If it's 500 vs 1.5mil, that's more understandable.There are Chinese teams in TI3. Doesn't that mean DOTA 2 is in China? Orrr............... D:
I think you still need DOTA 2 Invites to access the game in China.
Yeah man. Was really fun to see some Doom II DM for my first time. And the QL final was epic, too bad about CA instead of TDM.

LoL is not on Steam you mixed em up, DOTA 2 is
LoL is not on Steam you mixed em up, DOTA 2 is
I was talking about Dota 2
5 million LoL userbase vs 40 million Steam (AKA Dota 2, since the game is free) userbase
It was mostly a joke, as that does not mean active dota 2 players.
