I was a former PC player who switched to console and then this year switched back to PC. Missed a lot of PC games and this year bought a new PC. Never purchased anything off of Steam until this year in April, when it was the Rockstar weekend and the Potato Sack package was on sale. From 0 games before that day to 792 games now.
I have to say that the ticket thing was genius on Valve's part. I would never of bought some of the games if it wasn't for the idea of getting the ticket. I have 71 right now (hoping to get to 72 or 73 before the sale ends).

Don't know if I'll ever download all of the games I bought in the summer sale by the end of this year (download caps). But average wise, I spent maybe around $2.50-$3.00 a game this Summer sale. I think I now have a small backlog to work on until the Winter sale.
