Very true. In fact, throughout the entire year, I've used GMG more than Steam. The sales so far have been fantastic on Steam and outside of it. Indeed, they hold a lessened impact since we one the majority of the titles on sale. There is no doubt in my mind that new folks will be just as enthralled as I was way back when. Having said that, there are still decent deals to be found even for me, but often GMG is doing some clever undercutting, which I love

Eh I've always known I'm buying stuff I'm interested in faster than it can be put on the store. There was going to come a point where I hit a bottleneck. Should really be the indication to, you know, play some stuff. Still I'm going to consider this sale more of a window shopping one rather than a spending one and no that has nothing to do with me spending hundreds of pounds on disc drives.

Not sure how much longer Steam can be considered the holy bastians of PC Gaming with poor deals like this and their horrible disregard for Customer Service and consumer laws.

Hmmm... my meager 2gb 770 can't handle 60fps upload with playing TEW... dropped to 30, but still streaming. Probably a good idea of how the gameplay works for people interested...
which one exactly is the poor deal? these are better than they have been in a long time. I cant tell if people are trolling or not anymore
Ah I see someone found the Steam Exploitation sale while I was over at the Exploration sale

Customer Service is what's going to get them.
The system is just too small for the amount of people on the service.
You shouldn't have to wait ages for purchase questions for what is the biggest Distribution Platform on PC.

Today's example - South Park £13/$13

still no valkyria chronicles sale. I'm heartbroken
GMG VIP has it for around $15.
$13 for one of the best games released this year.

He'll rage even more when you tell him that Amazon UK has been selling it for about £9/$13.50 for days.

You missed the point, it's $13us and £13uk, which would be $20us. In general the just a general lack of interesting titles and discounts.

Aside from the Amazon UK price a few days ago, I'm pretty sure that's the lowest it's ever been.
I bought it on the real launch. for ps3.
Now my ps3 is broken and I want to try the pc version. I'd buy it for 10€.

I used that armor all the way through.
Just like I used this all the way through Mass Effect.
I already tweeted @Ubisoft and @UbisoftUK (with very little hope) to try to get Dawn of Discovery price with 75% discount - I really want to get into the series, but I'm not sure I'll enjoy it, so I don't want to buy 2070. Dawn of Discovery would be MUCH cheaper if it got a 75% discount as well in the Brazilian Store.
Buying it from the UK Store for 75% would make it pretty much the same price as it is with 40% in the Brazilian Store.
...but I really doubt anything will come out of it.

what does your heart tell you?
That reads just like one of MRORANGE's posts in console threads, good job!
Valve is not responsible for the deals made in sale - the discount is completely up to the publisher.
Also, is their customer support really worse than the "you will surely get to karkland" one from certain other store?
my heart is telling me to get new vegas and save 5 bucks for something else

Does that include the winter sale next month ?
It's the only game I was hoping to see on sale.
Do I need to use fake address to buy from Amazon UK too? I want to get South Park from there.
Edit: I had old fake US address and UK site said this, lol
I'm not even going to try with UK address then
Just like you need a US address for the American Amazon, you need a UK address for the GB Amazon. The error message is just... erroneous in what it tells you.
your heart is in the right place
make sure you get the version with the dlc, the dlc's great

still no valkyria chronicles sale. I'm heartbroken
Yeah, cause that's likely. Man... I want a Unity and Far Cry 4 sale. 70% off... or... or... I'm abandoning Steam forever.
Eh, GMG has VC in sale already, so steam can do it too.
Even Black Flag hasn't hit 70% off on Steam yet. xD

So I should expect Steam to start offering playfire rewards that turn into markeplace credit and 20-25% off anything vouchers on a regular basis too, right?
Wow... 75% off CoD Ghosts applies to the rest of the franchise? Apocalypse confirmed.
Hard to predict -- tomorrow should be the encore day, no?
If that's the case, then I don't know you'll get any deeper of a discount on the FF games... your best bet was probably that Newegg pack that had like 5 FF games for Steam in it.
Thank you!
I used University of London address for it and it worked. I took that error message too literally haha.

I hope so D;
Thank you very much for the giveaway <3
With £0.63 in my Steam Wallet and a TF2 Key in my inventory I really appreciate this. Going to need a few more card drops in order to purchase it myself, thanks again.
None of you bastards be entering, you've got a big enough backlog as it is

Sale runs until the 2nd and short sales don't get encore days. Not even every big one.
Champion? is this a new edition? I have the Ultimate Edition.
Also is Five Nights at Freddy's 2 region locked?
What makes you think, that Steam won't have it?
nah there's only the ultimate edition
but it sounds cooler if you add champion to it
Of course, I've blown through my Paypal funds for the sale already. Even despite missing out on few games I've wanted (waiting for Telltale stuff to hit 75%, and I don't need another LEGO game right now). Still a few days of deals left. orz
Good thing Monday will be repeats, right guys? Right?
