I does it really matter if nobody buys those?

I never knew about the game until recently. I do recall hearing about it but only vaguely.
If it was ETS2 with DLC countries to expand your routes, I'd be broke.

In Age of Conan you can strip of all your armor and run around topless.
I just wish the game would have an option for real-life routes/cities/distances.
Traveling from Berlin to Wroclaw should take 6+ hours, not 6+ minutes.
Here's my own list:Mh mh mh.
Well then a little advice:
if you intend to follow the sale here on the SteamGAF threads, I'd suggest you to clear your whole life schedule for a couple of weeks, install the live thread extension and then just start scrolling as you never scrolled in your own life, forcing your eyes to scan every post searching for:
1) giveaways
2) pricing errors
3) prices comparison with other sites
4) that one guy who'll show up for sure starting to steal giveaways keys
They'll be the best two weeks of your life, and then you'll go in withdrawal until the next sale.
- Wait for the daily deals. There's always someone who doesn't listen and gets burned. We laugh at them, so if you don't want to be the subject of our jokes, then wait for the daily deals. Even if you do want to be, you should still wait for the daily deals and then ask us to laugh at you just because. Moral of the story: wait for the daily deals.
- If it's a daily, it probably won't be cheaper as a flash sale or community choice. This also applies to any of the other two.
- Wait for the daily deals.
- If you know nothing about a certain game and have to ask whether it's good, that means you don't want it and are only interested in it because it's cheap. Don't even bother asking, you'll probably end up buying it anyway.
- If you see a good price mistake on something you're insterested in, jump right away. It won't last long and you'll regret it if you don't.
- When the deals change, prices are going to be wrong for a short while (usually less than 2 minutes). It always happens, and there's always someone complaining about it. Don't be that person, please.
- Look out for hidden deals! It's very common to have many games for extremely low prices that aren't featured as dailies, flashes or community choices. If the discount is 70% or more, it's probably safe to buy them then, but it's still a good idea to wait until the last sale day to make sure it won't get a better deal.
- If this is the last day of the sale and the game you want didn't appear as a daily, flash sale or community choice, this is your chance to grab it at a discount. The alternative is waiting for a future sale, but there's no guarantee it will be cheaper then.
- If a licensed game you want is cheap enough (AND if it's a daily) and you have the money to spare, grabbing it would be a good idea. You never know when it will be delisted.
- WAIT FOR THE DAILY DEALS.
- When the deals change, prices are going to be wrong for a short while. It always happens, and there's always someone complaining about it. Don't be that person, please. In less than 5 minutes it will be fixed, I promise you that.
- No, we don't know if Morningbus Presents Sexy Pinball Defense: A Metroidvania Story will be cheaper or a daily. We could lie to you or make a guess, but you can do that yourself.
- Will Bad Rats 2 be cheaper in a future sale? It's possible. Unless Disney bought the rights to it, in which case the most likely outcome is that it will never go on sale again. Yes, I am still bitter about the Star Wars games.
- Sometimes games are cheaper in other regions. There are several kind GAFfers who are willing to buy it for you, so feel free to ask them.
- Other times you can find better prices in other sites (Amazon, GMG, Nuuvem, etc.). You can buy on Amazon from anywhere in the world, you just need to use a US address when doing it (many people use Google HQ).
- Giveaways are fun! But don't be greedy and take everything you see. Remember that you're sharing the thread with dozens of other posters, who also deserve a chance of getting something.
- Try not to feel too bad about buying stuff you know you'll never play. Playing games is the exception here, not the rule. Of course, that doesn't mean you should actively waste your money. Be smart, and if you are going to purchase crap, do it when it's really cheap.
- Don't ever, EVER, mess with The Monk. The last two fools who did it didn't live to tell the tale. I'm being serious. Also he's one of the kindest guys ever, so if you mess with him you're an asshole and I already hate you.
- Did I mention that you should wait for the daily deals?

My grandparents sell model train parts and I help when they go to meets. There's definitely at least a small portion of the east coast division that buys a lot of Train Simulator dlc.

I think if they keep releasing these dlc's someone must be buying, never doubt what a niche market is capable to do.
The Train Sim DLC will probably be the last things I ever buy during a sale. I should get my hands some of the earliest stuff just in case the licences involved are set to expire, but I'd rather get the actual games out of the way first.
I completely agree. Mount and Blade, X3, Cities in Motion 2, Van Helsing, Majesty 2, and probably many more games were all games I bought on sale knowing little about them and ended up loving. But on your first sales, you're picking up games you know you'll love for peanuts.
But I have over 250 games on my wishlist, so no sale can ever truly be boring for me.
I'd also add 'if you win a hot indie game from a Modbot giveaway, it's always okay to trade that for RAGE'.
But that still doesn't add up. How many people even have this kind of money to spend on one game?
Let's say Konami releases proper Suikoden 6 with Murayama, high budget, even on PC and makes every of 108 stars paid dlc, that adds up to let's say $1000 for a game. Would I buy it? big fat no, oh I would cry rivers and moan and complain and be in general miserable, but I wouldn't buy it, as I can't afford it. Oh don't get me wrong, I've spent much more than that on gaming, but during long periods of time and for many games. Inspite of how much I want a game, if I can't buy it, I can't. You see what I mean?
I hope I don't give Konami any ideas... If they'll do just what I described, please, shoot me
Why specifically rage?
There was a guy who did that with Rogue Legacy, prolly the reason we have a banlist for Modbot giveaways.
Sorry but that Mount & Blade nude mod is more of a boner killer than anything =/
Those models just aren't made to be sexy.

The developers do not expect a player to buy all the DLC. The DLC is just options that the developers wants to have available so that players can choose and play their favorite routes and trains.
So... What happens if I trade a game for Rage now? lol
That said, I hope they have summer trading cards this time. 9 badges ready to craft, gonna unload those cards into the market fast and earn me some dough
You probably have a point, I'm not into train sims, so I might be imagining it in the wrong way, but I thought you get dlcs when ingame routes get boring to you (or you don't like them), and I don't think that buying one or few new routes would remedy that, otoh may be it would, as you say, buying some favourite routes can be enough for someone forever.
I'm curious as to whether or not the cards will have a cap/expiry date this time around. The lack of a level cap and finality of the Winter Sale cards obviously worked on some people, such as Palm Desert (100k) and the other guy (170k).
This is for the same market that used to build on a big table in the attic and bought 10cm of railway track for 50 a piece.

^They messed up and people saw the bonus games already and activated those...^^
Nice and timely for me since I just finished LoS and posted yesterday that it would be cool to have this ported, haha.

Looks nice if these are the bonuses. I only have driftmoon and it was really enjoyable.

I knew it was a bad idea to buy that one seperately for a dollar. 3.99 is a good price for the whole bundle and I can highly recommend Gunman Clive.

Finally. I've been holding off getting LoS2 because I wanted to play this first, there was so little info I actually wondered if it had been quietly cancelled and if I should get the PS3 version.
lol,somebody left a screenshot.
Is this the current bundle there?

Face it, Argentine beaches are pure shit. Just revel on the fact that you guys have places like Bariloche, Ushuaia or the
extremely boring to cross by bus/car
Uruguayan Truco is the best card game ever invented, you'll see the light one day!
Oh, you are a mat00r gamer?
Wait, there is Fanorona in AC3?
Now I have to play that game.
Welcome to the club
Excellent list, but about that point in particular, there was only one instance IIRC where a flash/community was cheaper than the daily: Saints Row The Third in the 2012 Summer Sale

Bad derExperte. *swats with newspaper*
Fucking finally.
I'll probably pick it up as well. I always feel a bit sad that the PJ PC ports probably didn't do all that well due to the multi-year gap between initial PS3 release and Steam release.
