It had a flash sale recently I think. I was generously gifted it through a modbot giveaway by John Rabbit but I remember there being a discount as I was going to set up a 4-pack.

I know it's a bit late, but this spelling makes me really wish there was a game featuring the misadventures of Kanye West and David Lynch.

My credit card company just put a hold on my card today due to "too many suspicious small payments..."
...I told them it was just the Steam Sale.
It's fixed now!

Hyperbole aside, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
Gaben bucks are the only things I have outside 15 dollars Amazon Credit left. Can't overspend too much
Thank you for the info though. Maybe someone here wanted it too.Are you serious?

That avoids something interesting in the beginning that might get spoiled... but shows you some of what gameplay looks like... finding mace, etc.
It's also highly detailed in that a mace smashes barrels better than a sword, sword does more damage to most creatures, etc.

Some people who steal credit card information often purchase small things as a test first before moving on to bigger things.

Yeah. I bought about 7-8 games of the smaller games on sale (all about 1.99 to 4.99), and it must have set of an alarm for them.
I am not annoyed, I am actually happy they were that alert to notice possible weird activity - especially around Christmas!
Both have. I think the original was less than 5 bucks and Riptide about 7 or so.
Pretty nice for a first give-away =). The amount of generosity that has been shown this year is simply unreal.
Anyone played the DC Scrubblenauts game? I noticed it's hidden away on GMG 66% off plus the voucher (plus my credit) I can get it for like 5 euros. I absolutely loved unlimited (maybe because it was my first) so the idea if more of that just with DC heroes sounds awesome, any reason not to get it (like different story structure or something?)
I love cheap games as much as the next guy, but Valve's HORRIBLE customer-service is seriously making me question whether I want to continue supporting the Wal-Mart of videogames.
For over three weeks now I've been trying to get a refund for X-Rebirth, and customer service either flat out lies to me or ignores me altogether. For over a week I've asked to speak with a manager and the ticket simply gets closed. Over and over and over. Checked the 'BBB' and they've got an 'F' ranking. Not...surprising. This is easily the worst (no exaggeration) customer service experience I've ever had.

That's why I usually put 10-20 euros on my steam wallet, just enough to cover the small purchases.

Thats been my biggest complaint with Valve. They have Zero customer service.
None. They quite literally just ignore you. Is that even legal?
Hey guys, is there a way to send gifts from Humble these days? I noticed earlier that the Gift icon to the right of Steam redemption is no longer there. But I do see that you can opt to be sent a gift code before purchasing... Checked the Modbot giveaway instructions page to no avail.

I'm glad I've never had to deal with their CS.
Spelunky !
Hah gratz. I murdered her like half a dozen times until she became queen for the first time. Long Live the Queen!
This is actually my favorite pick-up of the sale so far. Completely in love with the game.

According to Steam I played it for 22 hours, some of the time idling for cards because they were add after I finished the game. The combat is very fluid as is the characters animation, some people don't like the artstyle but it doesn't bother me, also play on hard because normal can be a little to easy.
Valve is behind the curve in terms of refunds, hopefully GOG, Origin, etc cause them to catch up.
The "Store transactions" tab is dated and also includes games activated using retail keys. For gift copies you're going to need to check either your inbox for the "You've received a gift copy ..." e-mails or your trade history.

Been buying lots of random stuff. I think I bought the first Fable game and Cook Serve Delicious. I forget the others right now.

First Fable game is the only Fable game worth playing and it's awesome.
I'm glad nothing super interesting to me has went on sale yet because it gave me time to get all the christmas gift cards and cash in on a bunch of steam gift cards. Y'all mother truckers better of voted for Spelunky.
In their defense however, the BBB is a fucking scam and their rating there means nothing.
Yes, though, their CS sucks ass.
Yeah, it was made by Noogy (of NeoGAF fame). Took me about 21 hours to 100% it (missing only two achievements that I'll pick up when I play it on Hardcore someday). It's pretty Metroidy in that there are various areas you can't reach until you have certain keys or abilities. It's a 2D action platformer with a pretty solid combat system (you can combo like a mofo) and beautiful art and animations and great music and a good story that deals with surprisingly dark subjects.
I bought it at launch and have no regrets. It's in my Top 3 Steam Games for 2013.
The other two of the Top 3 (Rogue Legacy and Long Live the Queen) were also bought at launch with no regrets.

I think the reason they have such bad Q&A is because of how selective they are at Valve with who they hire, and the free work range system they have set-up. People work what they want to work, and hired usually partially for ambition, and as such there probably aren't many people enthusiastic to handle customer service.
That said, why did you want a refund? Unless the game is a literal scam, you probably won't by their terms of service.

Is Assassin's Creed IV for $34.99 on Amazon a good deal? Is it likely to be any cheaper on Steam?

You mean when you're creating it or when you're entering for someone else's giveaway? For the former you get a PM back from modbot which you're meant to post in the thread, for the latter you don't know unless if you win, though it's pretty straightforward.

That's a better idea, did not think ahead that much. Will do that in future!
Allright. Maybe it will show up again.
