Even if something you buy now does get a deeper discount, it's unlikely to be to a large degree -- Portal 2 only jumped up 9% (special discount: 66% to 75%) and Cities XL 2011 8% (general discount: 25% to 33%).

Both of which sport GFWL... no thanks.
Better laying of paths with more options, bigger maps and better graphics. The quests are kinda buggy and there aren't that many vehicles in vanilla, though. As for the DLC... Well, it's Colossal Order, so who knows if they're done yet

lmao you also took away the wrong thing from it. It's not a supposed announcement that's news worthy, it's Steam streaming VGX that's new, assuming we can trust Geoff.

CS:GO has like 80k players daily. Pretty healthy community, in numbers at least. More than TF2, anyhow.
KF server browser is just bad. Even while highlightning a server, it keeps autoscrolling, takes ages to load the servers, even trying to get to a specific server is annoying.

Screw that nonsense.
So humble.
On the one hand, this isn't a normal humble bundle but some Yogscast streaming christmas charity thing, so I get they're trying to do something new and get as much money as they can for charity.
On the other hand... yeah, they didn't do themselves any favors with this. People have come to expect a certain thing from humble bundles, and this is not it. It could potentially backfire, even.

Not too miffed since I got the game here on a give away. But it's still annoying. Can't find any solutions on steam forums either.

Yea I hate the KF server browser too despite having played KF for a century, on the upside you can just F5 to refresh the already loaded lists nearly instantly.

Oh yeah, I hate the autoscroll of KF and some servers not popping for some odd reason. Had to fave them to make sure I don't need to make them show up as well as adding some filters.
And CSGO is bigger than TF2 huh? I always thought TF2 would be bigger while CSGO would be smaller due to multiple CS games.

Yeah they should've re-evaluated the price.
True it is charity but I would think you'd gather more by using the traditional format.
The Origin or WB bundles wouldn't have done much at 25.
One was a possible competitive game that went casual and became an unbalanced mess. A mess that is so huge that Valve is trying to clean it up.
The other is a competitive game that has been built from the ground-up to be competitive and has had a huge competitive following for decades now.
Hmmmm... easy to see why one has a larger base over the other, wouldn't you say?

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.
It already backfired as far as I'm concerned - people like me saw the page (which had no mention of a minimum) and the fact that it said Steam keys would be provided. So I purchased the bundle (for less than $25) and it sounds like I get nothing.
I just cant agree with this. JRPG's don't really 'age' outside the visual aspect. What makes a good JRPG is the same as it was back in the 90's. And FFVII is not considered one of the best JRPG's just because of its visuals.
Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean its a bad game or that its all nostalgia. Its actually one of the few games I can replay every couple years and it never seems to lose anything about what makes it so good.

I was looking at TF2 spreadsheets and I saw that summer shades are worth a few keys! But i would have to buy paper? to trade them which thereby makes it not worth while to trade
woo and indeed hoo

Added 30 to my steam wallet. I hate myself
I haven't bought a single game
for myself
I feel very virtuous.
Only Legend of Grimrock has really tempted me but it would just sit in my backlog since Mistress
LOL Master
That quite helps. Thank you very much. I believe I will most likely enjoy Legend of Grimrock.

$5 minimum is reasonable. I think I have 4 / 5 games but I would probably pay 5, too bad for yogg.
Already backfired so hard that they deleted the page.
Humble Bundle shouldn't even have had set a minimum of $25. Shot themselves and Yogcast in the foot because that isn't so "humble."
Now if they wanted a $5-10 minimum, that'd be a lot easier for most people to swallow.
I haven't read the rest of this thread.
If you want to buy Splinter Cell: Blacklist DO NOT buy the Deluxe edition + the DLC, it will register on Uplay as two different games and mess up Uplay to the point where it crashes every time you load the game.
I learned the hard way and I'm absolutely devastated, I love the game and really wanted to play it :|

Yeah I don't get it either... I have those summer shades and people always ask me weird questions about them.
You get a TF2 trinket! (cough)
But yeah, that early leak was baaaaaaaaaad.
Guys, I think the onus here is on Yogscast, not Humble.
It's their thing, Humble is just providing the platform.

I think the problem is a bunch of people went to DOTA 2 and CS:GO.
Doesn't include Garry's mode, but it's worth the collection at that price.
Whoosh.
Here's a hint:
The unbalanced mess is TF2

When did CS:GO start hitting those numbers wow. I guess a lot of people picked it up during the sale or something. Also skyrim is #3 now too

I got a 50% off Postal coupon. It says 'does not stack with other discounts', does this apply to Steam sales as well?
Because if anyone wants it, they're welcome to have it. Especially if they give me a Skyrim card or two in return. :lol

Agreed. Especially the second part. I played FF7 way after it's release a few years ago for the first time and thought it was amazing at that point. Even after hearing all the talk and everything else.
Ah, I didn't realise there was a Gmod + CS:S bundle.
Yes. If a game has a pre-existing discount, the coupon is rendered invalid, even if it offers a higher discount than that already present.

I guess my post wasn't clear. I was strictly referring to CSGO, not CS as a whole. I kinda thought each version has its own fanbase (like Counter Strike vs Source).
And what the hell is up with that post about TF2 lol
And I dunno about you but some weapons actually made some classes playable *cough Pyro* At the very least, the broken aspect of the game comes from the core classes themselves than the updates.

.Ouch! If he has access to a 3DS then I highly recommend that game's predecessor i.e. SUPER MARIO 3D LAND. It is really good
.Nintendo has a promo on it for new 3DS owners too:

While the sale has gained a lot of new players the player count has been rising steadily since release. Guess it's all the updates they do coupled with discounts.

Before dreamhack/steam sale it was like 45/50k unique players per day.
So it has almost doubled the player base in 3 days. (and in the dreamhack finals the streaming reached 140k viewers).
The most astonishing thing is that they are not css or 1.6 players.
I'm "Definitely not Hipstershake."
And yeah, there is a way around the problem but that doesn't excuse Steam/Ubisoft's poor wording and Steam allowing you to purchase the Deluxe edition AND the DLC at checkout.
I always thought Steam blocked you if it thought one edition had the DLC in.

I know it is TF2 you are referring to. I'm just saying the real problem is people migrating to other games, not because of the "unbalanced mess" (I haven't played TF2 in a long ass time to say anything in this matter).
Boss Doggie

I still don't get the unbalanced mess thing though, since most of the time people prefer the original weapons over the added ones save for a few (like Pyro, and maybe the occasional Demo).

TF2 is the most balanced it ever has been. Don't blame Seks for not understanding anything since he is still trying to understand what has happened in the 6 years he decided to stay on the laughably horrible xbox version.
Ouch! If he has access to a 3DS then I highly recommend that game's predecessor i.e. SUPER MARIO 3D LAND. It is really good
you just gave me a brilliant idea. i already have it, but he doesn't know that ;-)

Hm wonder if Steam will break 7m concurrent users today. I think it may when updates go out. Currently at 6,961,217. Won't that be a new record?
