[Shepard]

It's settled, for the rest of these sales I'll only buy the 8 games on my wishlist.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

As long as you have a US address you should be fine?

Just bought Castle of Illusion off the US store using my UK card and a fake US address.

Only for PSN, I got several steam games in the last few days without any issues.

buhbuhbuhbut my embargo!

Glad for Accent that Papers, Please won .

 

[KenOD]

I was able to buy The Maw as a gift off the mobile website for Steam store. Try that out if you are still having problems with the normal website.

Edit: never mind, down now as well.

 

[Vostro]

Still having trouble checking out, ugh.

 

[EVOL 100%]

lol now I can't even access the store again.

 

[Atraveller]

I refuse to believe Left 4 Dead 2 is causing this. Everybody and their mother owns that game. I'm not sure what is up but they really should push those flash deals back a few more hours.

But what about the people who were not on Steam? Or the Dota 2 crowd?

 

[BioHazard]

now it's down down, cant access shit now

 

[emiranda061288]

I'm disappointed Gone Home didn't win.

Was disappointed at the discount it would've gotten, too, though.

I'm confused.

so many times on sale. between the last sale, the first daily, and the humble store most people already have it.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

I'm glad gone home didn't win. If I wanted to walk around in a "game" doing nothing I would play dear esther.

 

[ramoisdead]

Oh geez, thanks Intheflorsh for Dark Souls! Even if I won't be able to get KOF by the deadline because of Steam, this definitely makes it up. =]

Now to look for that Durante DSfix.

 

[gngf123]

lol store is down again.

Yeah I've given up now. Hopefully they extend it.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Nooo, I wanted Gone Home to win. I already got Papers, Please when it was on sale before (and am about to start it in a few minutes).

 

[Tagyhag]

I refuse to believe Left 4 Dead 2 is causing this. Everybody and their mother owns that game. I'm not sure what is up but they really should push those flash deals back a few more hours.

It has to be, according to those charts that people got right before the crashing.

 

[emiranda061288]

I contacted Steam and linked to this thread. Told them they should really consider extending the flash sales. Hope it helps.

God I've been trying all day to get KOF 13.

will they see the ticket in 7 days?

 

[Levyne]

Steam community still down? Or just really slow?

 

[Oreoleo]

What about the publishers/devs of the games for the next flash sale? They'd get screwed if the other got extended. Unless they just put them all up. Which no way will happen.

Why not? Put the new flash sales up but keep the discounts on the current games for another 8 hours, just like they do for the dailies.

 

[Atraveller]

Steam is up!

Papers, please won, the hell?

 

[Javaman]

I wonder how many 10s of millions of ALT accounts are being made to farm cards and items. 2 bogus accounts will get enough to craft a l4d2 badge making one snow card. So 20 alt accounts per snow craft.

 

[C00kie M0nster]

Papers Please won the community vote at least.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Papers, please won!

Wolf Among Us: 29%
Papers, please: 41%
Gone Home: 30%

 

[jmizzal]

I'm glad gone home didn't win. If I wanted to walk around in a "game" doing nothing I would play dear esther.

I played both and Gone home has way more to do then dear esther, could not stand that game

 

[c0Zm1c]

Nice. I'll put Papers, Please in my shopping cart along with the other games I can't pay for.

 

[Casimir]

buhbuhbuhbut my embargo!

Glad for Accent that Papers, Please won .

Why do you have a self imposed embargo against Amazon?

Also, your welcome.

 

[redfirm]

 

[rtcn63]

Steam was purposely put down so that the vote could be manipulated. WHY GABEN

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

On the plus side, this Steam outage is potentially saving me tens of dollars.

 

[drizzle]

Your account needs to be level 5 for cards to drop.

this is the most likely scenario. people are greedy. valve should have put the price in 5 cents to avoid these people.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Papers, Please should win everything, always.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

It's back!

(I think)!

 

[ChaoticEko]

well the card market still works I purchased a card and it worked alright. On a side note, I have a Snowglobe #6 I want to trade for a walking dead card.

 

[Levyne]

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but Papers, Please is legitimately great. Before I knew it I had a family member or two at my monitor double checking the forms and discussing whether I should bend the rules for money or for being nice.

 

[graywolf323]

so many times on sale. between the last sale, the first daily, and the humble store most people already have it.

Gone Home hasn't been a daily yet :-/

 

[Erekiddo]

Down for about 7 hours now. My entire work shift. On Christmas.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Gone Home was robbed!

[Gazoinks]

Papers Please won, and thus I shall purchase it with cashmoney. Now I'm not sure whether to wait on Gone Home or not. Is it common for games to show up as normal sales after losing voting?

 

[emiranda061288]

I don't think the votes are really counted but whatever. they are just an excuse to check the site every 8 hrs.

 

[gngf123]

Everyone: Play the free beta of Papers, Please before buying the full version. The game really isn't for everyone.

Personally I found it very well put together, but immensely boring.

For my PM to modbot for raffles, do I cut and paste the whole line or just the code?

Either one of these works fine. 3rd would be invalid.
