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.
I also love this. But there are probably more than a few people scratching their heads about it right now.
I'm not one of them.

Everyone here got free dayz SA from mitch and the bros
From what I can tell, if you grabbed the Steam version, you would have to re-download the game again. 37.1 GB is a lot to endure! I'm missing Issues 6 through 8, and since the Massive Edition only goes up to 7, it wouldn't be worth it for me at this point in terms of bandwidth and savings unfortunately.
As for the Funcom Points, that would be cool if that were still in place, and would inspire me to play more often. I guess that was back when they were still subscription-based? Looking it up, you have to be a member (the equivalent of a subscriber) to get bonus points every month now.

New job + Steam sale = Too many games bought that I'll never play
You're using Steam correctly, then.

If my Steam account were somehow made physical, I'd be on one of those Hoarders: Buried Alive shows.
The winter cards will be removed from your inventory on the 3rd when the winter sale ends.
I decided to try my luck as I had five cards sitting in my inventory... and got a common Path of Exile item, haha. I'll wait for the card prices to drop again before giving it another shot. The "downside" to buying through traders is that you don't get cards for purchasing.
I tripped over something while cleaning out my closet today... enjoy!

Did anyone pick up Dimentium 2?
It's kind of funny seeing someone say this after JaseC posts.
he probably owns every game on steam
i swear, it's always the people who don't do anything that always get the rare stuff. I had a friend who barely plays Counter Strike get 2 knives within a couple of crates. i've opened like 25, and all i've gotten are bottom-tier weapons that sell for .02 (which means i make nothing back)

Same here. I usually spend $0 - $10 max during sales and i already put $50 in my Steam wallet for this sale.

FNV Ultimate is $5 on uPlay. Stupid question: Is that going to simply be a redeemable Steam key or is it going to need the uPlay client to run?

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
pretty sure it's gonna need uplay.
Haha, not quite, but I'm getting there (pulled games being the obvious exception -- I've only been "collecting" for 18 months so I missed the boat on quite a lot of games... like Wheelman). As far as SteamGAF is concerned, Xelios and Valis still have decent leads, and even though I don't have as much to spend as I'd expected I do hope to hit 2,300 by the end of the sale (+114 games), though admittedly I haven't ascertained how viable this is given my budget and the titles within the lower price points that I've yet to buy.

Up to uhhh...
.
Every other scene in this game is screenshot-worthy. The art-direction is off the charts.

So they removed steamworks integration?
ugh. I bought Paranautical Activity and the page errored once, worked fine the second try - got charged twice, though. what are the chances of getting refunded? :\
in my transactions history:
Dec 21, 2013 $3.09 Purchase Paranautical Activity
Dec 21, 2013 N/A Failed Paranautical Activity

The first refund on Steam is pretty much a courtesy refund, no questions asked. But they do end up the conversation telling you that they don't generally do it, and it's in their ToS and you won't be refunded the next time under any circumstances or whatever, so I guess it's a risk.
You probably didn't actually get charged twice, the two charges on your credit card (or whatever) are likely just pending-- one will get processed, the other will drop off.
You get a Steam key. Thus far DMC is the only game I'm aware of that had Steamworks removed for sale on a competing platform (Origin).
Have you checked your bank account to see if you were actually charged twice? Steam acknowledging that the transaction failed may mean it didn't go through at your bank's end.

I just got a a snowgobe.
Why does this thing have an expiry date? I assume its like a trading card, so what do you get for collecting a set or something?

Valve will always refund pre-orders, because keys don't get attached to your account until the game unlocks, as well as any erroneous charges that shouldn't have taken place (provided you can provide proof). Luck of the draw only enters the equation if you desire a refund in instances where they're generally not given (e.g. "I bought this game and it doesn't run on my system"), unless you can point to legislation that states Valve is legally obligated to provide a refund if requested.
Because there's only so much oxygen in the life-sustaining water of that snowglobe. In time, its inhabitants will suffocate, and be removed from your inventory.

seriously, the way Steam handles a new method of adding funds to your steam wallet is ridiculous.
because I decided to pay with my debit card because I didn't want to go out just to get a steam card, I can't even use the community market. Haven't even tried to buy anything from the store because there has been nothing I wanted since I bought FF7

Damage so far:
FF7
Far Cry 3
Hold fast!
It's weird because this is what I've read, but I just added a new CC myself (old one was lost a while ago) and I'm not locked out of the community market. I'm probably misunderstanding how it works though.

Confirmed. Purchased in Australia OK and redeemed the serial in Steam without installing uPlay.
Thanks for the reply. If anyone wants a cheap ($5) copy of FNV Ultimate that's redeemable in Steam go here:

Good morning my good people, just getting ready for another day. Coffee anyone?
Glad you are liking it. I think I saw some good tips yesterday by KenOD but basically take your time to avoid getting burned out/bored since it can happen in these games.

That is a pretty good deal on what is inarguably the best game of all time.
