Well guess that crazy impulse buy from the Brazilian Tapir (ie Nuuvem) seemed to go in my favour for once. Haven't even installed Dying Light yet.
Well, Nintendo has dailies.

should i unload all my cards now in preparation for the sale, or save them and see if there is a minigame?
i guess a few hours won't make a difference

It's pretty ok. If you don't like gambling, don't do it? Not really that hard.

so a couple hours until we wait for Winter sale amirite
I should make this point now, rather than later: If at 12 PM CST the deals don't automatically show up or if there are slight glitches in the prices and discounts do not freak out. It happens literally every time there's a sale. It's normal. Go get a cup of coffee or tea and relax. And spare us all the "Valve gonna Valve" stupid-ass posts too.

Highly doubt there will be a mini game. That's usually reserved for Winter and Summer Seals.
We're not the ones you need to remind, it's the 'casuals'.
I assume people active in this threads know this already. It's those damn Steam peasants who don't know any better.

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.
And, more importantly, is this thread staying open during the sale (as is tradition)?
Also, the sale is going through next week, and I'll be putting up December's thread
my last 
videogames are very good at tempting impulse buys through half rewards (you get a piece of a set, only 4 more to go! buy em each for 1.99$!) or through safes (here's all this crap you're dying to know what it is and for 3.99 we'll tell you!). things like that
the huge hype campaign built around hats only to then sell them or tie them to gambling mechanics like chests
like i said before, chests straight up make videogames worst because they create a need for you to know what it's in there. a lot of people are like no problem but these system preys on the impulsive and that's just just not nice, specially since videogames are reaaaaally good at manipulating you through positive reinforcement, rewards, goals, all that fun stuffs.
i don't like any of those things, i don't like that league is adding chests either and i don't think any of this manipulative shit is ok
Dusk alluded to the lack of featured deals not being the full story, so I assume there'll be something in their stead. Someone theorised that you may now get random coupons for unowned games based on your playing habits, which could be an improvement versus hoping something shows up as a featured deal.
Sale is going to be a disappointment for some regardless what's in store. Well unless Lightning Returns is a featured placement day one. No discount just the whole front page plastered with Lightning.
You need to go all out, balls to the wall, full on morningbus for the December thread. I'll shoot you my recommendation sometime Friday if that's ok?

Well that would feel bad, I buy games that I play much of for full price. The games I'm not used to playing is what I buy in sales. Makes it a lower bar to entry.

You got it buddy
I would greatly appreciate a few 60% coupons for my wishlist.
if the coupon's not tradeable, then screw that
Me. It's ready to go but I might have to tweak the OP a bit depending on how the sale is structured, so it may be a little late.

listen to the mad man
I'm not sure the coupon system works well enough to leverage it for this purpose, but I definitely expect given that there aren't featured deals that they'll work on a system where more of what is shoved in your face is customized to you. I guess we'll see in a few hours. I'm kinda excited.
But you don't need to gamble. Buy the shit you want from people selling on the market. Simple as that.
Well, if that was the case then Valve would have asked for two different prices anyways, no? But they didn't. So if there's something like coupons it would mean that Valve was eating the loss from the coupon discount.

This thread will stay open since everyone is scared to lock it and interact with some new blood. Even if they ask some basic questions repeatedly.

Not like the new thread will have much activity anyways, since all the deals will be on in the first day.

We can post "wait for the winter sale" gifs
Brothers in Arms is another series to keep an eye on that never gets a discount from Ubi.
Just close it fam, go interact with the rest of GAF and expand the community.
I don't see an argument for keeping this thread open, it's redundant at best.

No, I'm thinking there won't be differential discounts and the front page will be used as a content spotlight rather than an enhanced deal percentage.
well i stopped playing before they added the market
but systems that give u chests and then sell u the keys, or parts of item sets, or have leveled/rarity quality to items that doesn't change shit, etc. gambling in general.
all that shit valve likes to add to their games, maybe it gets balanced off because they just take their cut from the marketplace and don't push more aggressively, but not all games are in valve's position to have a marketplace and whenever those things get added to a game i get really concerned
If this thread gets closed very few of the regulars will post in the sale thread and few of those new to Steam will post in here afterwards for possibly a couple of reasons. If this thread stays open few of the regulars will post in the sales thread but post in here about how awful the sales thread is and how the same questions are being asked that are answered in the OP scaring off anyone new wanting to join in here. Face it we're a bunch of miserable bastards that don't like company or change!
