Why is it still 50%? That's what its been on sale all this time.
Already own it and it's a good thing too because if those are the actual discounts for these games, they are terrible.

If you click on each individual page it gives you a different percentage. Train is like 85 percent off, that's probably a bug. SF4AE is 75 percent off.

It wouldn't even make sense to take the short four day US based Thanksgiving Holiday and try to turn it into something as big as the regular Steam world recognized Christmas/Holiday sale that extends over the traditional period when young people are out of school. Your "go big or don't go at all" reasoning isn't too rational.
I don't really buy into the idea of price reductions revolving around your personal sentiments instead of the evidence Valve has shown to developers about better ways to sustain or increase sales figures. Taking new games and reducing them down by 75% because you want cheap games? uhhh. Please stop.
Right. Fun for Valve to completely alienate the publishers and developers because it would be a "nice gesture". You are too drunk to be chatting here.

I know now.When I clicked before it didn't change. I thought I was mistaken at first but all the fighting games on my list are 50.... I wanted KOFXIII More though.... I need to buy a doggle either way lol

Is SFxT complete at 75%?
It appears to only be 50% at the moment.
Disney fired everybody at LucasArts and installed "less than 10" stooges to oversee licensing agreements and tend to LA's pre-existing publishing affairs.
Has Capcom said anything about removing GFWL? If not, I just won't bother.

Well even after the posting fees those swedish FM deals are pretty neat, however I couldn't figure whether they ship out of Sweden and failed to register with them. Don't know whether I give it a go later on, still would love to get my hands on older FMs (I only have 10 and 14) sometime.
Nice to see a KOTOR daily but a shame that Star Wars Collection won't have the deals it has had in the past.
Edit: Oh, KOTOR1 isn't even on sale even if 2 is. Disney logic.

Just bought a retail copy of Football Manager 2012 with steam key, so happy.
Disney wants you to pay more
The upgrade will cost 15 dollars

They will remove GFWL in the Ultra edition
One person was told that GFWL will be removed from the relevant Capcom games; another was told that Capcom "[isn't] 100% sure what's going to happen". Ultra itself is going to use Steamworks, though, which means it'll be a separate app.
That Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes price feels so wrong, when I got it for 3.75€ yesterday off Gamersgate. Now, the 3.75€ was a mistake, and the real price was 7.49€, but still, even the correct price runs circles around the 18.49€ on Steam.
Plus, since I had it on my wishlist, I swear it's been 50% off from the start of the sale (there isn't a countdown below the discounted price for it), so did they forget to change the % even on the game's page for this flash deal?

Well, I'm not gambling on that. Guess I'll have to wait for Ultra to get into SF. Back to Skullgirls
Ah, Disney. Now it makes sense. Good thing I bought all the Star Wars games before that happened. Ah hell, what I never did get around to buying was the LucasArts Adventure Pack and of course now that's not discounted at all. Fucking Disney.
Wouldn't mind seeing Borderlands 1 or 2 on sale.
It's a small sale, after all. It's a small, small sale.

Oh crap. I really do want this game but finances are a tad tight at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up though.

Oh, just checked on Finnish cdon site (cdon.fi) and they have FM09 and FM12 at 1. Aw yiss. I now have 09, 10, 12 and 14 in my collection.
At least you didn't import physical copies.
I'm never too drunk damnit!!! But yeah, I probably am. 23 Heineken's now on top of 8mg of Klonopin and 2 Valium. Still going strong baby!
But yeah, man, I really do think short term -50% on Injustice or -75% on Risk of Rain or something would boost sales figures in the long term. First, they'd get eaten up like candy by everybody = MONEY, second they sustain word of mouth and increased userbase for a more viable games for newer buyers. Not that the netcode in Injustice would sustain word of mouth.
And third, $50 bones for Injustice was far too high a price for a late port anyway, I doubt it's selling as well as it could at a lower price point. And on your other point, your condescending and serious bidnis attitude aside, yeah, I think ALL sales would benefit from equal implementations of features. It brings the community together better, offers incentives, offers choice on a game for a sale and offers cards for the community to increase market flow. Makes just as much sense to do it for any "holiday sale" as another. Writing it off as an aside to the worldwide Xmas/Summer sales and ignoring minimizing the value of these things is pretty weak soup from my point of view.
So yeah, whatever, however, get cha pull, no more room for fun and all the rest of it. Nice, talking with you cicero, dude!
I passed on the adventure pack for YEARS when it was 50% off because I figured I could buy it later. Last sale I finally decided to bite and it was 33% off. Now it's not on sale at all. Will it ever see a sale again!? Damn Disney.
There's an Amazon thread but the OP abandoned it. I'd just use Reddit's Amazon list coupled with ITAD (you can search/filter by store).
Could you point me to these deals? I haven't seen a thread.
edit: oh shiiiiiit Amazon have a "Games for Steam" category now! YES

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Just a heads up that there's also some nice prices on the Humble Store...Gunpoint for $3.39, Vessel for $3.74.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light --MB-45864B3C41A99E14- Taken by CrunchyFrog. 50 entrants total.
Either Rouge Legacy is fucking with me or I have the worst luck ever. Geed up in the opening tutorial septic toned shenanigans before starting the game proper and I was like "wow cool its like the opening drawbridge from SOTN" before getting stomped by a big skeleton in the very next room. So select my successor and blindingly run on through to what I thought was going to be the same room forgetting the Rouge part of the title and fall right into a pit of spikes. Cue the next hour of 3-4 rooms of progression and then failure.
This is certainly going to be and interesting morning.

Even though my wishlist has 30 or so on it I finally feel like Steam is no big deal anymore. Love the little deals but am glad that first couple years is over.
Amazon sales are ridiculously overwhelming sometimes (read: all the times), doesn't help that their sales are just giant lists.
It would be nice if you could sort your Steam wishlist by price/discount across all sites, not just steampowered.com.
So after a little browsing I've got these on the trigger:
Max Payne 3 Complete for $7
Enslaved Premium for $10
Jet Set Radio for $2.50
A bit iffy on Enslaved, don't know if it'll get a Steal Sale for cheaper though it's $15 on Steam right now. Thoughts?

It has auto-platforming and very simplistic combat, so don't buy it for the gameplay. It does have pretty graphics and an intriguing premise though, so worth going through once.
