I'm curious, why people seem to prefer to get Steam cards to add funds to their wallets instead of paying using their CC or Paypal accounts?

For me it's just convenience, if I'm out at Walmart I can just grab a card or two and add the funds on when I get home. *shrug*

[Interfectum]

why do you guys browse Steam on a browser, why not just browse Steam on... Steam?

I only install Steam on the PC I'm playing games on. Otherwise it's browser all the way.

 

[Seanspeed]

Aw man. I wont have my new computer for another couple weeks.

I'm gonna miss all the good stuff, aren't I?

AMERICA

They don't even sell that here.

That is less convenient than just using Paypal.

You can still buy games using your browser. Or the mobile app

Spoiler

lol

There isn't a PC spec requirement to buying games.

If it weren't from the mind of that annoying, politically-active homophobe, I would gladly read it.

You don't need a computer to buy Steam games.

 

[vixlar]

Same exact story for me except for number of games. I bought the 9600 for hl2, put it in, and been a member since. Loading between levels took foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr with the 9600 on my shitty drsktop

Another brother... we must found a religion or something...

 

[Laurentius]

What the...? Did Steam Playtime get posted on some big news site or something? I was just getting a steady trickle of hits earlier today, but all the sudden it's getting a huge amount of traffic. Waiting for Google Analytics to update so I can see where it's coming from. (I wish GAE had better logging options...)

 

[Copons]

I find truly engaging having to stick to only one tab in the Steam browser.
It's a lot more challenging searching for the right deal. Also, it reminds me how beautiful and pure was the Internet in the 90s.
Thumbs up for me.

It's too bad about his politics but that book is a classic. Hope you give it a chance and read it one day

If anyone wants some good apocalyptic fiction to read, I got a lot of recommendations.

Bioshock Infinite at 18$ (13,90€) on GMG right now for 24 hours with this code GMG20-F202F-UI40F

I doubt Steam will beat that

Humble Weekly Sale: And Yet It Moves

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who actually enjoyed that game.

Too bad about the movie.

Saw it as a quote, without the context, and thought 79 years old hot chick, what the heck.

I had the same thought.

 

[Kurdel]

Going to NYC this weekend and I'm canadian.

I am buying a roaming package for data just to watch the Steam sales.

Nothing stops this train.

actually I think it's because i've been on steam for so long that I tend to forget that it's also a website. I keep thinking it's a program and nothing else

Buy the games, have them ready for your new PC.

What movie?

Spoiler

That movie doesn't exists in my world

Yes, I too miss the beauty and purity of geocities and angelfire pages.

 

[RionaaM]

I have the PS3 version, do you know if the cable that came with that would work on the PC version of the game?

Can I steal your Rocksmith cable please? I promise to give it back someday in the next 1000 years.

oh ? XE.com gave me 18,01$ for 12£

 

[intheinbetween]

Ok, so convenience, no CC or Paypal account, and security, I suppossed those were the main reasons but I thought that maybe there were some kind of deals buying Steam cards over there. Here in Spain we still don't have Steam cards so the only way for us to buy from Steam is by using our CCs or Paypal accounts.

 

[TheDancingWatermelon]

That is less convenient than just using Paypal.

It is when you have trouble with Paypal. I use Paypal too, but I don't like to rely on it, and so my main bank account is not attached to it.

 

[More_Badass]

Too bad about the movie.

Don't get me started. Too soon, man...too soon...

And they're already working on the sequel...

 

[Addnan]

oh ? XE.com gave me 18,01$ for 12£

They have a higher base price.

 

[marrec]

Don't read it, cause the book is bad anyway. Adolescent power fantasy steeped in his bigotry. Read the original Gundam books instead. They're much better.

 

[imBask]

For me it's just convenience, if I'm out at Walmart I can just grab a card or two and add the funds on when I get home. *shrug*

how can it be more convenient than " I want this game, click, I paid for this game"...

 

[vixlar]

Yes, I wish there were Steam cards in Mexico. (And GooglePlay cards too). They are great for a gift. iTunes card are god send for people like me that doesn't know to give as a present.

 

[Tesseract]

i hope mk9 goes on sale, maybe 50-65% off?

 

[javadots]

I had difficulty linking my bank account to my Paypal account. I was back and forth between Chase and PayPal with them sending me back to the other. So fucking annoying.

 

[derExperte]

Prices are different depending on region. It's 20€ here after the voucher.

Never tried it, but actually it looks beautiful.

Even terrible people can write non-terrible works. You could learn a thing or two from it, I think, and who knows? Someday even you might write something worth reading.

 

[DarkSoul520]

i hope mk9 goes on sale, maybe 50-65% off?

It just came out, so I doubt it. If you're lucky, 33% off.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who actually enjoyed that game.

I thought it was alright, didn't regret my time spent with it.

 

[Dawg]

About 25 pages left.

Can you do it in under 2 hours, steamgaf? Can you?

Ether.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

i hope mk9 goes on sale, maybe 50-65% off?

I could see 25% regular and 33% for the daily.

Or maybe 10% and 20% for a daily.

 

[Elratauru]

i hope mk9 goes on sale, maybe 50-65% off?

Too new. I doubt it will be more than 33% considering it was released a few days ago, even being a PC Port from an older game.
