Transferring wallet is essentially a form of Steam-related business in my country. Shady business, of course.

I think it was posted couple of months ago in form of leak from steam translation server.

But during last maintenance they pushed some code for it (css / image).

Looks like allowed range is $5-$100 (or regional equivalent), accepting might cause market lock,

Elex is massive! I dont know how PB has such a small workforce. There are so many quests and so many lines of dialogue that are all voice acted in at least one language but possibly German as well. It really is insane.

I totally agree with you.
In any case, someday I would love to know what Valve thought about giving users this new gitfing method. As I see it, this feature encourages card farmers business (both devs and users relating to it) to grow even more and provides an easy solution for everybody on steam to transfer money to paypal/bank etc. I expect steam card gifts to become a new heavy currency to trade as soon as they are available.

Because let's be honest. I believe almost everbody that has an immense amount of wallet would glady transfer it to their bank account.

The Game-side EW2 best since SH2 (lol) inspired me to reinstall Alien: Isolation to help get in the holiday spirit.

Feels good man.

Beat the game way back when but never did dive into the DLC. I know Crew Expendable and Last Survivor were well received and feature voice talent / likenesses from the original movie, so I'm gonna dig into those after I reacclimate the controls & game systems with the opening sections of the main game. I understand that the story DLC hits the ground running and I imagine I'd get wrecked pretty quick going in cold.

Going back through the opening sequences, I'm reminded all over again just how atmospheric the game was. Holy cow it's a monster in recreating the tone of the first Alien movie. I was just touring through the first ship, looking over all the details. I noticed how all the tech gadgets laying about had this chunky '70s look. Like a precursor iPad that was a thick, heavy notebook with a cathode screen and physical dials & switches. The perfect marriage of analog & future tech.

Christ that game was a labor of love.

I wish I could make myself replay it but the game is needlessly long and the atmosphere doesn't hold up till the end. Talk about too much of a good thing.

Whoever mentioned Cave Story's true ending has inspired me to go for it. Turns out "someday" is "right now," 'cause I can't get enough Cave Story right now. Cave Story is sooo goooooood!

Apparently that path is harder than the base game so I'm probably gonna die. Period. (Using zxc + ad is KILLER on the hands.) And in terms of gameplay, getting the "normal" ending was difficult enough...

Exact same situation.

I have too many games to explain why I have too many games. (I'm pretty sure that's how the saying goes.)

Well GMG already is 15% off and the email says "use coupon SUCHWOW10 to get Destiny 2 15% off" so it probably isnt valid on it.
Click to expand...

It's 85€ without the coupon. They had 5% off before they raised that to 15% today and with the coupon it's 25% off.
Thus 76€.

hmm, maybe its a Euro thing then, as 15% off for me (USD to CAD) is still slightly cheaper than 25% (euro converted to CAD) Oh well was worth a try.

Haven’t bought a steam game yet, but my wishlist is in the 20s. Next sale is Halloween right? Does their Christmas sale have larger discounts? I’m not building a pc until spring but I plan to get in on some sales before then so I have a good library to start with.

If you don't have anything that can play something right now, then wait.

Well you have summer and winter. I was asking if it is going to be 60% again as it is now and they already changed how deals go awhile back.

Compared to previous years sales, which are the ones that have larger discounts? Black Friday sales or winter sales?

Should I be excited for this and/or would it be a better buy to get than Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization/.hack//GU Last Recode?

Sword art should be last on priorities unless you’re a big beater

Any chance this gets crossplay with Switch or PS4 (not gonna be both for obvious reasons)? I wanna get it but I'm worried about the longevity of the online community.

For sales on Steam I think Valve recommends publishers use the same discount for both sales. It's not a requirement but they both end up being about the same and there's no way to tell if a specific game will have a better discount for one or the other inlet the publisher says what they're doing beforehand.

Summer and Winter...don't think steam itself has black friday.

The Autumn sale starts around Thanksgiving/Black Friday. Last year it was November 23rd to the 29th.
