The "GOTY" edition nowadays is basically a "bundle that contains all" release. Problem is, that not even that is working, you have "definitive" or "full" packs that are still missing bits.
The situation is a mixture of the "never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game" with that Monalisa picture showing the evolution of AAA gaming from full game+expansions to gimped full game and bits here and there as season passes and DLC.
PC games not so long ago (the full AAA ones) used to go for $40~$50. The price went up with those "digital deluxe" things for $60~$80 or even more at times, pre-order this, pre-order that, etc., etc.
Does anyone remember that Watch Dogs chart that shows basically no version of the game can have all the bits and parts?
Sometimes this is why I prefer indies: you buy the game, you get the whole thing. Sometimes an occasional expansion or DLC may come out but you at least feel like you want to reward the dev (Beat Hazard comes to my mind, I played the hell out of that game and gladly got the Shadow Ops expansion+Ultra).
Hmm, I think I missed the Killer is Dead deal. I hope that thing goes 66%/75% during the Winter sale.

This particular package gets you the full game (single player campaign plus the MMO lite persistent universe), a starter ship and alpha/beta access.
They still haven't sent me the physical Citizens card.
There's a glitch in steam apparently, dunno if you'll be intrested though

It requires the Professional Edition though at least that's what it says...

No LifeTime insurance for the ship? Only the initial donors got that, right?
No, I just met some disease carriers, or "children" as they are called, this week, making me sick as the proverbial dog.
It's what I did, in case anyone was wondering why my wishlist was suddenly 200 items long. =p
You pretty much have to put something either on your wishlist or the nope list with the current implementation of the discovery queue anyway, otherwise it keeps coming back.
Which one of you guys is Messiah on Steam?
DailyIndieGame has Truffle Saga for 1$ min, BTA for 2 keys
IndieGameStand is having a black friday sale, check DRM

The way I look at it is someone somewhere had that game as their GOTY. That's all it needs to count if you ask me.
Not like we see that many of them, and they aren't taking away from the other GOTYs available. They just do everyone a service if offering DLC with the game.

Gotcha. And for the really lavish I take it you can buy a better ship or one more tricked out and such. Well regardless it seems to be working for RSI as it's pretty much a money printing machine at the moment.
Soooo Star Stateless Citizen?
That reminds me over the reaction to Two Worlds II GOTY Velvet Edition where a lot of folks were asking if it did win any GOTY awards. And in fact it did from some completely no name blog. I think by now most folks are savy enough to know it's short hand for a collection of all content.

Nope. You get 6 months insurance with this package.
I wonder if a GOTY version of Arkham Origins will ever come out: I bought both prior batman games piecemeal and always got screwed when a GOTY edition came out (it all evened out when Warner was nice enough to give the GOTY to every owner of the game, but still). Both the Game and DLC are super cheap on nuuvem (cheaper than a 75% steam sale will make them in the Brazilian Store).
I don't think it sold well enough to warrant a GOTY edition.
My backer tier has a lifetime insurance for the most regular ship. I wonder if that game will ever come out.

The indie trend now is:
Use Kickstarter to get people to pay before the game is done
Release on Early Access to get more people to pay before the game is done
Finish developing the game, you know, when you get around to it, maybe, or just rename Early Access full release

This ain't working sadly-80% above + -75% = 95% discount. Very good.
Entered the -80% voucher code but the price stays the same.
When I enter credit the price changes instantly though.
Bummer. Would have made a nice gift.

Black market now darker than black? sign me in.
Guacamelee was a terrible pick for your rant, had you played the new version it would be visibly clear that it's not something that you can simply patch in.

Mh. Did more checking and it seems the -80% voucher for Enemy Within Playfire send out a couple week ago has an expiry date. End of October.
One mystery solved.

Sometimes that voucher box is finicky. After you paste the code, press enter in the text box so that the voucher button turns green. Then press the voucher button to activate it.
If it doesn't work, red text should show up saying "Unable to add voucher" or something like it.
I saw the gray voucher button and didn't see the red text in your screenshot, so maybe you still have a shot.
Edit: nvm, saw your post about the expiry date. that sucks xD

You need to actually press add voucher. Might require removing last character if it stays disabled, like in image.
Edit: Beaten.
GOTY will be here soon enough.

Thanks chewie and madjoki. After pasting the voucher I now pressed enter and the add voucher button became green but the page auto-reloads and I get the message unable to add voucher.
The voucher apparently expired 31.10.

Thank god for Jim
They changed game mechanics, chest placement, story progression, upgrade paths, etc.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah like I'm confident that I won't get legless at our staff crimbo do but I know that's a futile endeavour.
That red laser sword is more danger to it's owner than to any enemy.

Cool, not sure about the light saber though.

I'm scared of DerExperte beating me up :,(
You should be. Next time there won't be any warning. But for now I'm proud of you.
OH CMON the broadsword was real? Otherwise, cool.
I feel like we're going to get at least one new ridiculous lightsaber variant in each movie, each one more insane than the last.
Wish I went to the castings they had down the road
Then again Lucas himself did a bloody good job of tarnishing my childhood memories so chances are J. J. Abrams will be two for two.
Welcome to the club!
I tried to enter the coupon myself. It works for for me, drops the price to £1.
SHIT. I now own Star Citizen (only 510 left when I finished)... when ever it gets finished. I can't spend any more on any of the sales other than MGS V GZ

Say what you want about JJ, but in no universe would he make a worse sequel than Lucas.Wish I went to the castings they had down the road

At least having sword guard is much more practical than saber staff.

Here's one that slices 25% off. Works on every game on GMG apparently.

Hype level extremely high.
Maybe among people I know (at least ones that play or have played on PC back then). And most of them remember The Prince And The Coward from their youth as well.
So, yeah. Sampling bias or whatever.

Hahaha I don't doubt that. Star Trek isn't the same for me after Into The Darkness. For the love of all that is just, leave TNG alone Viacom!
