I'm getting there, slowly but surely. Not letting myself buy a new game (no matter the price) until i finish at least 2-3 games. So far, I've finished Thomas was alone, Sound Shapes, Brothers, and im almost done with Final Fantasy 3. It's happening!

That is what they all say before they succumb to another sale.
...it looks like a UT3 mod, something in early beta. As a free mod, it wouldn't be awful. As a full, standalone product, though? Yeesh.
If I wanted to do that, a bundle would be a more efficient use of my dollar. Or I could buy a $0.99 packet of tea biscuits. Mmm, tea biscuits. :9 I think that might be the way to go.

Damnit humble bundle.. a drawback of those 'click to add to your account' buttons is.. it just adds the game :/
I prefer to add the key to steam and then immediately install what I want installed. Its a pain to have to go look through the game list to find what you added then install manually >.<

Was this before or after the "Jurassic Update"?
For $0.99, I added it to my gamecount... who knows, maybe I'll experience the horror someday firsthand.

Not sure exactly. It was sometime last year, probably around or right after the summer sale. Is that update supposed to improve it or something?

I really want to pick it up, but sure as hell not for $15. Slightly surprised to see it rise to the top so quickly.

That's what the "main" trailer on the steampage says...

Seems they've been updating it a lot.
I got confused for a moment looking at the screenshots, but realized that the game I'm thinking of is "Death Inc."

I bought Portal 2 at launch but the Steam version was technically free with my PS3 copy. not counting that: the Orange Box.
Does a retail copy at full price for a steamworks game count?

A few of these look interesting, and I'll definitely be getting it for Magicians and Looters

I bought DayZ just now.
even those had launch discounts haha. for me - gunman clive, and because that doesn't really count...motor rock
Probably Endless Space, I desperately wanted to space strategy game at the time. Early impressions from other users (that were more knowledgeable about the genre) were good and I thought it looked great too.
Earlier this week when I preordered Lords Of Shadow 2. I use a mixture of online retailers, steam directly and russian traders
I really don't remember, but I do know that I bought House of the Dead: Overkill at release. It was discounted, but still, that's probably the closest for me for a while.
When DayZ came out.

I just checked my purchases and I have NEVER bought a game at full price. The first steam game I got was Mount and Blade (the original) and even that was half off.

A while back there was this deal on Dark Souls 2 PC on simplycdkeys.com for about 25. I bought it. Just now I got an email to verify my account before any purchase can be completed. To verify I have to upload a scan of either my driving license or my passport to their website. Anyone got anything similar?
Same.

Hm. I'm only interested in Paper Dungeons out of those 8 games...
I'm waiting for reviews to pop up. I think it looks goofy and fun.
BlazBlue a week ago. A week before that, Jazzpunk.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I'll occasionally buy a game on Steam at full price under one of these conditions:
- I know I'll be playing it immediately, forsaking my backlog. The last two have been Final Fantasy VIII (worth it!) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (not at all worth it!)
- There is a risk it'll be removed from Steam before it goes on sale. Things like Motor Rock.
- I'm buying the game as a gift for one of my children. My daughter is a huge Assassin's Creed fan, so I think I've bought her all of those pretty much at release for full price.

Interesting. I might have to check it out again. It definitely looks different from when I last played it.

Did miss the uproar about call of duty already?
Valve once again removed all the negative user tags. Not even offensive ones but anything that implied the poor quality of the PC port. This combined with the 50% off sale on a call of duty game that is less than a year old. How often does Activision ever offer such a deep discount for CoD games, they are notoriously sale averse.

Metal Gear Rising, because I had to support Platinum and show I want more of their games.
Generally I'll buy a game right away if it's something I want to play as soon as possible, multiplayer will only last a short amount of time (Anarchy Reigns on PS3 for example, so much fun) or it's a matter of "I don't want to be spoiled for the story".
The "developers need this title to do well to survive" also comes up often enough because it really does happen with quite a few companies especially now that more and more indie titles are being put on. I say this as someone who as worked for a company that went out of business due to poor sales in the first four months.

I buy games from Steam full-priced if its just released and something I want to support the developers on, and have the money to do so right then.
