Steam Holiday Sales 2013: DIE HARDER

Don't listen to these lies.
The number of whales who'll buy that many cards is scant compared to the market's total supply, though. And even they'll get fatigued; they won't craft endlessly. They might set a ridiculous goal (maybe lv 100?!!?!) but after a certain point they'll lose interest and move on.
Like I said, I dunno if you should sell now or wait a bit, but definitely don't wait until the last day. Even if the whales buy 90% of what's left on the market at that point, most of it will be going for like $0.02 as desperate sellers undercut each other.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
This thread moves so fast, there is no way to follow

OK
I'll quote this in 2 weeks time.

I really hope Baldur's Gate 2 EE is on sale
I'm with you. Don't tell me to wait so maybe I can save a couple more bucks when this shit is cheap enough already, there's no guarantee it'll be a daily, and I want to play it NOW.

I now own New Star Soccer 5. Waiting for that Woodcutter Simulator daily
believe (jk)
Too bad that The Pinball Arcade packs aren't discounted. They really screwed the pooch on the extra tables on that game. It doesn't surprise me: Most of their work is usually made first on iOS, second on Consoles and third, late and badly done, on PC. That clearly tells me that they're more interested in the Mobile market (and if that makes me a bad person, so be it).

Never leave home without it: Livethread
Let's be real here... Nobody plays the games they buy off steam sales.
Livethread ftw. Just leave that sucker running and scroll down. No more clicking!
Actually, if you look at the trend from the Summer Sale, people were buying up cards like crazy at the end, driving the price up. Then, that demand went away and the price went back down. The demand going back down likely occurred from a combination of people making badges and people trying to make money on selling the cards when they saw the price going up.
I knew someone would call me out on that. Figures it's you.Even whining about voting it seems
I would argue that my whining is rather small in comparison, though.
The concept that there are "wrong" games and "right" games is what breeds the whining in the first place. Furthermore, I see people on GAF disagreeing about what the "wrong" and "right" games are. That is to say, statements like "Ugh! The community is so stupid! They should have voted for X!" and "Ugh! The community is so stupid! They should have voted for Y!" have appeared in the same thread about the same vote.
All that said, I don't think it's avoidable. People will be disappointed no matter what happens. It's just unfortunate that it clutters the thread.
Whenever there is, I recommend the following.
Super House Of Dead Ninjas. 50% off currently, possible to get a better daily deal.
If Völgar is the Mega Drive/Genesis action game made today, Super House Of Dead Ninjas is the SNES game made today. Going down through a tower in frantic ninja killing scrolling action with variety of weapons to unlock and the reward of getting better at the game is worth it.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/224820/
Really Big Sky. -75% off, not getting a better daily deal.
Procedural Generated, and weird, shoot-em-up of the side scrolling variety. Weird, but intense and always worth a "one more try" when you are just playing something to pass the time.

why would this happen at the beginning of a sale
Gotta love southern hemisphere awareness, it's weird growing up with end of year and Christmas always correlating to winter and snow in most media.

They're both at 50% right now, so a deeper discount will definitely come, considering that the Ys series has been featured in previous sales. It'll at least be a Flash Sale.
Hah, I think you're on to something.

Santa-Chuck giving away a High-Quality AAA-Game by one of the most known developers in the gaming-industry:
ModBot said:I am giving away a Steam key. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line below containing the key.
Rules for this Giveaway:
- If you are a lurker you are not eligible for this giveaway. You need five or more posts in either the current Steam thread or the previous one to be eligible
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two:
Revenge of the Titans -- MB-E2A8FE2B8D5F09C3taken
Note that the advice about waiting for the dailies began as a blanket answer to the inevitable question of: "Should I buy X game now or will it become cheaper?"
It's pretty straight forward here.Actually, if you look at the trend from the Summer Sale, people were buying up cards like crazy at the end, driving the price up. Then, that demand went away and the price went back down. The demand going back down likely occurred from a combination of people making badges and people trying to make money on selling the cards when they saw the price going up.

Shadowrun = the correct vote
Everything else = wrong and to vote for the other games is an act of treason
it doesnt matter what you vote for because they all end up on sale
Does the new bundle have single "key" for everything or can the games be activated separately? I already have Revenge of the Titans and I'm only interested in Droid Assault from there.
Edit: Oh, someone made a giveaway for only Revenge of the Titans so I'm going to assume they are separate.

the same reason it is not available in asia. there isn't any. i don't really know why konami would cut off countries and a region like that. you can try buying it via amazon though

Where the shittily drawn chart from the fall sale to answer that question?
I'm surprised someone hasn't made an indie game called YOLO yet. Maybe some sort of manic shooter where you only have one life and a timer, and need to kill as many things and grab as much loot as you can before you expire.
Shadowrun's sale sucks. It's 40% off already. The sale will be 55%, not much of a difference.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Buying MGR in Amazon is fine despite the supposed region restriction yes?
+15% more off is a huge difference.

Hoping Shadowrun wins the community vote. Missed out on that one last time. Kind of interested in Origins but I didn't like City as much as AA and it looks like it will be more of City so I may wait on it unless it goes in a flash sale for under $20 then I've have no choice but to buy it.
Nonsteam, but the D&D Master Collection (Baldur's Gate Complete 1 + 2, Icewind Dale Complete 1 + 2, Planescape Torment, all DRM-free) is $5 at GamersGate (or $4 if you get it from me).
