Steam can read my mind now? It knows which games I'll play in the future? Color me scared.

I'd personally wait on Gothic 2 or Risen to be on sale. Skip Risen 2 as well unless you end up really loving the Piranha Bytes style.

The Gothic series is 75% off this week on Steam.

Gothic II: Gold Edition is $2.49.

Gothic 3 is also $2.49.

And the Gothic Universe Edition (Gothic 1, Gothic II: Gold Edition and Gothic 3) is $4.99.

Just a heads-up. : )

That's not the Android app. The Android app would be a lone tumbleweed just sitting there, covered in dust and cobwebs.

I'm a Nexus 7 owner. :s

I doubt there will be a GOTY version because it wasn't made by Rocksteady and that apparently makes the game automatic shit tier worthless.

I remember some talk about this before but I suppose I was holding out hope. Ah well, I guess next time it goes on sale I'll pick it up.

You buy them or you trade them for things... Keys are like salt before money and banks existed, they use them in trading. THE END

There are keys for CS:GO and Dota 2 as well. You use them to unlock crates, which give you random items, some of which have a lot of value, others don't.

They're used as an adhoc currency likely because they are not common as random drops, and they have a fixed value to buy them from Valve.

If you just want to buy games, getting keys at good prices is a solid way to save a lot of money. Most of my winter sale purchases -- of which there were a ton -- were funded by using card and random drop money to buy CS:GO keys, which I used to open up crates. I'd keep hoarding the money and buying keys with some of it until I got a Gut Knife, which is actually worth some good money. Then I used the marketplace funds I already had along with the money from the gut knife to buy more games than I remember on sale. All without spending anything out of pocket!

This was all from simply playing the game like any other for two months. I got very lucky, but I imagine most people with a semblance of self-control could pay for at least a new release or two a year from saving card and drop money for keys rather than spending personal cash.

If you want to make actual money rather than wallet cash, things get a bit more involved. I've never gone that route. One of many Steam traders on GAF could explain that end of the pool to you.

Thanks. Can't believe I haven't taken advantage of this.

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.

Well I just sent a link to the video in a tweet. Who knows what will happen... I guess we'll see!

Okay, this is starting to piss me off now. Twice in a row, I get disconnected from online races in Ridge Racer Unbounded because Steam decides to go down. I'd really like to know what the hell's going on. This just seems to be getting worse and worse.

So who's with me? I'm deleting my steam account and going 100% origin. I'm sure the sims is as fun as dota. It's got about 25 expansion packs. It's got to be good right?

This is getting a bit out of hand. Seems like Steam is down several times a day now. I have never had any issues like this with Origin. Valve really needs to fix whatever is happening with Steam lately.
