First steam sale where I genuinely don't know what I want to get.
Stardew Valley and Inside are a tiny bit above impulse buy sadly.

THE VOTES ARE IN!
I feel sorry for the Valve employee that has to sort through all the bad joke submissions.

Congratulations to XCOM 2 for winning the "You Died" Award. It was hard fought, but you lost the most in the end.

Very fun game, recommend it after it's <15$. Don't buy it now, be patient, you'll probably get a better discount in Christmas Sale, who knows?

So I just got the retail version (uPlay) of the Division for 10 bucks. Can I buy the Season Pass for 20 on Steam and use it with that version on uPlay? I doubt it, but wanted to check.

Let's be honest, nobody's reading them.
At most they might make a script that finds the most commonly used words or phrases.

A badge? This is some weak-ass meta. Witcher 3 cleaned me out I got to sell all these damn cards now.

no...you can't buy a Season Pass for a gzme on Steam without owning the base game on Steam

Lol. Nothing scarier than staring an anustart in the eyes!

Why does he wear the mask!?
Yep, I concur.
Since my display doesn't help with SS my picks I'll just list them:
Test of Time - FTL: Faster Than Light
Had a hard time picking this one since I'm usually a one and done type of guy
I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye - Thomas Was Alone
Not exactly crying but everyone that has ever played it will understand why, and if you haven't I encourage you to discover why
Juts 5 More Minutes - Enter the Gungeon
Some other titles came close (Rocket league for one) but there was a clear winner amongst them.
Whoooaaaaaaa, dude! -
Villain Most In Need Of A Hug - Double Dragon Neon
Somewhat of a joke pick, the credit scene/music just goes so well with the award name. Couldn't really think of a game to pick so this felt "right".
Game Within A Game - Final Fantasy X/X-2
Not only are you getting two for the price of one (sorta) you also get everyone's favourite, Blitzball!!!! I knew most people would go with FF VIII and Triple Triad but having never played FF VIII I went with the next best thing.
I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award - Gunpoint
I didn't really know what to pick since I'm usually LTTP, couldn't remember the games I had pre-ordered/bought on release (besides Dragon's Dogma but I don't feel like it fits the bill) so I went with a game I truly enjoyed that's somewhat recognised, even critically, but still manages to go under the radar, that counts right?
You could say I picked it at gunpoint
Best Use Of A Farm Animal - Divide By Sheep
Had to go through my library for this one, had it on Shelter before but the number of things you can do with a single sheep got it the spot.
And finally drum roll
Bullshot of the Year - No Man's Sky
Had no idea what to do with this category ╮(︶▽︶

Really can't say, find out for yourself
It's another case of everyone that has played it agrees on it and for a good reason.

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.
This is the correct answer. Believing anything else is a road to disappointment.

None of the Total Warhammer DLC is on sale.
Creative Assembly, you're killing me.

Civ5, without question. Just be sure to get the expansions--all other DLC is skippable unless you reaaalllly want it.

I bought the game twice at full price. It's a strong contender for my GOTY and one of the best singleplayer FPS experiences ever. Well worth it.
Picked up The Witcher 3
Put out a refund ticket when I saw GOTY was only $10 more compared to the individual packs being $22.50 separate.
Canceled it when I remembered time is a resource and one stint in TW3 is probably enough without another 40+ hours of DLC.
But now I'm all "Eh, I was gonna spend that extra $10 before I changed my mind, might as well spend it anyway."
And now I'm stuck at
Massive Chalice/Fallout/Fallout 2
RE4
Invisible, Inc.
Sunless Sea
Shovel Knight
Steamworld Heist
Stardew Valley
Axiom Verge
Salt and Sanctuary
Age of Decadence
Damn you, Steam sale

They'll just have the community do it and end up using whatever bad jokes are the most popular.
Civ 5
Just base game + one expansion is more expensive than pack with game and all DLC.

This is really good deal.

I can easily afford 20 bucks but I'm not sure I can afford 70gb in bandwidth or storage. Fuck video games.
I paid way too much for a 970 in Feb but the more practical thing to do is to just rent Doom and Titanfall for PS4 to satisfy my urges.

Dreamfall Chapters is a direct sequel to Dreamfall (to the point I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't played Dreamfall).

Civ 5 complete will make you happy and for 11,26 € its a no brainer! Have fun.
ahaha, ouch
My noms. Was kinda meh on the Game within a game because I almost universally hate those, so I chose one where the "minigames" are just the fun gameplay isolated into sidequests, and also because I had to nominate Sleepy Doggos for something.
Yes.
Just to note a few others,
But Bethesda is another where the prices for ES games actually went up, even though they dropped their RSP.
Other companies like Activation will not discount the COD series below 10$.
Ones like Capcom, Namco, EA, etc. Most have hit a certain point where it's pointless to keep dropping the prices and have either plateau or begun to offer smaller discounts than before. As stated, because Steam is the number one in the market now, but also if the game has been 5$ for 3 years prior, it's well past the point of trying to get that lowest price bar of people and more alongside people rebuying it or hold outs.

How do I get all the extra content for Rise of the Tomb Raider? I own the base game
On the store there are now 3 options for me:
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration (includes Season Pass) for 24,99
Rise of the Tomb Raider - Season Pass for 13,99
Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Pack for 9,99
Does the Celebration Pack for 9,99 include the Season Pass as well?

There are too many discounts I don't know what to buy oh god halp
Koei Tecmo, so don't expect any higher than 50% discount until about 1.5 ~ 2 years after release, it'll maybe get a 60% discount then (Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires just got its first 60% discount 1 year and 9 months after release).

The only thing I've bought this sale so far is a carrying case for my Steam Controller... I feel like I'm approaching the point of having just about all the games I really really want at the moment.
No, Season Pass includes 20 Year Celebration Pack and other DLC. 20 Year Celebration Pack is just one part of it.
