Or they tied the card reward to those who voted and purchased. But I think that's missing the point of what they want to do, which is provide some means of getting the cards without needing to spend money. What alternatives could they create to provide a rewards outlet besides this vote?

Ingame activities in F2P games (TF 2 etc.), perhaps.

 

[JaseC]

My man! It's quite literally my GOTY so far.

I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'll bother writing up a prisoner bio. I suppose it'd be neat to see my own little prisoner pop up in the game later down the track.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

and this is why a voting system doesn't work

When I saw the result, all I could think of was this

 

[Panda Rin]

Oh, you're kidding me ...Would have totally bought Kentucky at that price.

 

[Infinite Justice]

I have to admit that while Dragon's Lair winning came as no shock, the vote split is surprisingly close.

the split was interesting and showed there were hopefuls

I hope Kentucky Route Zero goes on sale at that price eventually.

community nominees usually appear in the sales proper even if they didn't win (eg dishonored lost the first vote of the sale and it eventually appeared) so that price should be a lock eventually

 

[Nabs]

I hope Street Fighter gets a badge today.

 

[Kamion]

Would've bought Kentucky (which I voted for), would've bought Evoland (which I don't own yet)...

Sigh, why ;_;

 

[SmarterUnconscious]

When I am an indie dev I will name my game Super Robot Ninja Dragon Zombie.

You need to add pirates, astronauts, and maybe cowboys for good measure.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Dragon's Lair?! Seriously WTF... Really wanted KR0...

 

[Timedog]

Of course people voted for Dragon's Lair you peons, it's the prequel to Ryse!

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'd complain about Dragon's Lair but it's not like I have any money left anyway

Nothing stops this sale.

[cicero]

Yeah, me too. I would've understood Evoland winning the vote, but bloody Dragon's Lair? I want to see the look on the faces of those buying the game and finding out it's one big QTE.

Because all, or even a majority, of those voting for it had absolutely no clue what it was before they voted? What an amusing assumption to make.

Would agree normally, but there's basically 24 hours left. And they wouldn't discount it daily alongside a community vote it could have won. So unless it has back to back votes and somehow wins, I don't see it happening.

Anecdotal ftl or whatever, but I know quite a few people who are just voting randomly for the cards. With the rewards system in place, it's not that unreasonable an assumption to make.

 

[JaseC]

I hope Street Fighter gets a badge today.

We're starting to understand PC gaming
Level 5 Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Badge

 

[Crayons]

When I saw the result, all I could think of was this

Makes me think of this

 

[Coop]

Cant believe dragon lair won. None of the games I wanted have won

 

[Alien Bob]

Nothing stops this sale.

I need the credit card to pay the rent.


Or better said, the girlfriend needs her credit card to pay the rent.

 

[need4speed]

Guys stop making dumb posts, I don't want to make another list

Spoiler

actually I do continue!

 

[cicero]

I'd actually like it if voting locked you into buying the game at the listed sale price if it wins the vote.

The dullest knife strikes once again...

 

[toastyToast]

Is this the last set of new deals?

 

[JaseC]

Is this the last set of new deals?

Yes, the upcoming Dailies are the final set.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Makes me think of this

That finally convinced me I should watch P&R.

 

[mcnarnia]

I think if Kentucky Route Zero had a better logo with its name spelled out, it would have won. At least that is what I am choosing to believe.

 

[kudoboi]

I am glad I got Prison Architect even though it's not that cheap. Even at this Alpha stage it's a really cool game and it can basically only get better. Was totally worth it I think.

i bought it at full price and regretted nothing. in fact i feel bad even paying 39 for it because i spent a lot more on the game than 39 bucks value

 

[Nabs]

I guess I'll finally play Retro City Rampage if it gets cards today.

 

[TheDancingWatermelon]

Yeah I'm curious about today. Its widely expected to be repeat day, but there have been a few games that lost the community vote over the sale that have yet to resurface. I can't remember a previous sale where they didn't eventually show up, will this be the first?

 

[Widdly Scuds]

I love it when you wake up and your steam wallet is bigger than before because your items in the marketplace sold while you were sleeping.

 

[phantomspiker]

I think if Kentucky Route Zero had a better logo with its name spelled out, it would have won. At least that is what I am choosing to believe.

I actually had no clue what the hell it was when I woke up this morning.

 

[YianGaruga]

lol "new" deals.
100% repeats baby.

 

[RedSwirl]

Fucking Dragon's Layer?!

 

[DESTROYA]

My wallet is crying already, I love you STEAM but hate you too for having such great deals.

 

[RedSwirl]

lol "new" deals.
100% repeats baby.

So I guess I'll go ahead and nab Rogue Legacy then.

 

[Messi]

I hope Dishonoured or Hitman comes back up, missed them first time.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Of course people voted for Dragon's Lair you peons, it's the prequel to Ryse!

mind blown

 

[def sim]

So I guess I'll go ahead and nab Rogue Legacy then.

It can't hurt to wait 6-7 minutes just in case.

 

[toastyToast]

lol "new" deals.
100% repeats baby.

Come on man, I just want Borderlands 2. I missed out on it the last 6 times

 

[AHA-Lambda]

lol "new" deals.
100% repeats baby.

Praying for KR0 and Rogue Legacy to appear somehow in the next 24 hours.

 

[Kinky John]

Rogue Legacy bringing up the rear. It will happen!

 

[mrgone]

At $10.19 it'll barely fit into what I allotted for my last day sales... however, I'd have to skip on Alpha Protocol to pick it up.

DECISIONS DECISIONS

What else is on that list?

Rogue Legacy bringing up the rear. It will happen!

I don't know if I believe it, but god damn I love your moxy

 

[xelios]

I'm going to take a wild guess that today will be a recap of the 10 summer sale card games. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Damn 3 percent difference.

 

[drizzle]

Yes, the upcoming Dailies are the final set.

"Best Of" tomorrow, or no sale tomorrow?

 

[jshackles]

So I guess I'll go ahead and nab Rogue Legacy then.

Amazon is supposedly price matching the $11.99 price on Steam, and will also work with their 15% off coupon if you haven't already used it. Makes it about $10.19.

 

[traveler]

So I guess I'll go ahead and nab Rogue Legacy then.

Not so sure that will be the case. Some were reporting a leaked deal on some Sega game that hasn't been on sale yet.

 

[Panda Rin]

I also blame the logo on KR0. It's so puny.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Rogue Legacy bringing up the rear. It will happen!

you just gotta believe a little harder

Spoiler

won't happen

 

[xelios]

"Best Of" tomorrow, or no sale tomorrow?

Sale ends tomorrow, so nothing besides whatever today's deals are. I'm guessing today will be the best of/recap.

 

[Socreges]

Sweet, voted Dragon's Lair and it won! The system works!

 

[Exuro]

Amazon is supposedly price matching the $11.99 price on Steam, and will also work with their 15% off coupon if you haven't already used it. Makes it about $10.19.

It's $14.99 on their site.
