How do the flash sales work?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

You think DBZ Xenoverse will go on sale?

Hoping for 50% off or more.

 

[Purkake4]

Aww no more cards for just voting?

 

[Metalstrike]

Wow those inflated MSRPs for GTA V (i assume they are bundled with some shark cards) are fucking disgusting.

Yep, absolute joke.

 

[Mavromatis]

Here is some action:

 

[Volcynika]

Is Tales from the Borderlands worth it at 50% off? Or should I wait until it drops to under 10?

Probably be cheaper by the time all the episodes are out.

 

[JaseC]

I forget, is daily prices the cheapest it can get during the sale? or could it be a flash sale for cheaper? or community vote cheaper?

There is no difference in pricing between the featured deal types unless a mistake is made. This is covered in the first question in the OP.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Stuck in "processing" in Paypal. I shouldn't have bothered rn tbh

 

[CosmicQueso]

Question: would the new refund policy reply to sales? If I were to see a better deal in the dailies later on could I just refund and rebuy the game?

Processing time for the refund would never get it done in time to rebuy during a flash or daily. C'mon now.

 

[aku:jiki]

Holy shit, I managed to get Chroma Squad with very little issue and then it crapped out again just as the sale was finalized. I feel like the action hero who just barely rolled under the closing door.

 

[AkuMifune]

Someone might of mentioned it already, but D4 was 10% before the sale and now it's 20%. I plan to buy it since it says it reverts back in 23 hours or so. I really doubt flashes or dailies will top it, but I could always refund it just in case I guess.

Yeah, this is a good heads up. When Steam puts a game on sale is a valid refund option. If you played it less than 2 hours D4 counts. If you want to go through the hassle for $1.50 or so.

Processing time for the refund would never get it done in time to rebuy during a flash or daily. C'mon now.

Or not.

 

[jediyoshi]

edit: snip

 

[LurkerPrime]

They bundled with in-game money to increase the price.

That's the opposite of a sale...

 

[Shorty11857]

Is Tales from the Borderlands worth it at 50% off? Or should I wait until it drops to under 10?

It's the best Telltale game, well worth it

 

[Kriken]

No, its a much better game. They basically ported 2033 over to the Last Light Engine.

Its $10 for both.

BUY IT!!!!

I already have Last Light Redux and 2033 vanilla

 

[Kid Ska]

Guys, a lot of these deals will be up for at least 12 hours. Calm down.

 

[Chariot]

NO ITS NOT. DON'T EVEN TRY TO FOOL ME!

 

[spineduke]

I only need the expansion and DLC. I bet it's all one package using a single key so you can't trade off the original game if you already have it.

Yeah I'm stuck in the same situation. I'd give away the base game if it came as seperate keys.

 

[tycoonheart]

I want it, but you have to give me more than 25%. Sorry guys

Really want it too.

 

[Kieli]

Wow those inflated MSRPs for GTA V (i assume they are bundled with some shark cards) are fucking disgusting.

I actually find it hilarious because the game ends up being $3 cheaper with a 25% discount ($69.99 --> $67.xx).

Like, wtf? That's some sleezy car salesman fuzzy math, right there (well, not really, but feels like it).

 

[Miker]

10$ for XCOM + expansion + DLC is a damn steal. The base game is on discount for 7.5$
in comparision.

Yeah, and Enemy Within is $10 by itself. I would've thought about getting it for $5, but I'll just wait for XCOM2 at this point.

 

[Drunken Master]

So instead of those community sales with voting you play this monster game. Then by playing and beating monster you get points and then discounts? Are the discounts then for the whole steam community?

And do you really need to create a badge first so you can play?

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

man some of the prices are in different currencies, is that happening to anyone else?

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I managed to get into the silly monster game.

A thing to watch out for is you can upgrade yourself but if you die you will lose all upgrades then have nowhere near enough money to get the upgrades back.

You can instead choose to spend money on things to benefit other players such as a healing spell but I stopped playing once I fell into a constant death cycle.

 

[jakomocha]

Is Tales from the Borderlands worth it at 50% off? Or should I wait until it drops to under 10?

It's worth it, the game is freaking awesome. The wait times between the episodes are ridiculous, but fortunately Episode 3 should be out soon. It's got a really enjoyable plot, and the main cast of characters (both the 2 protagonists and deuteragonists) are some of my favorite characters in a game ever. Even if you don't like the Borderlands games, it's worth it.

Also, the game is really funny at times.

 

[Poetic]

Is Tales from the Borderlands worth it at 50% off? Or should I wait until it drops to under 10?

Think I'm going to hold off until the Winter sale personally, I want it, but only 2 of the 5 episodes are released. I like to play these Telltale games once all the episodes are out. Maybe we can get it under $10 during the Winter and have all 5 episodes out.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It's not just me, that GTA V price is an insulting ripoff of a 'sale,' right?

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Finally got into that Monster Summer Game. Just clicking away haha. Are there teams to join or something?

 

[Benedict]

All my upgrades in the summer game disappeared when I died.

Is it supposed to work like that?

 

[Mavromatis]

NO ITS NOT. DON'T EVEN TRY TO FOOL ME!

To the list of games that we will never ever sell to you. Thanks.

 

[shandy706]

Chroma Squad's price has disappeared.....and ...wait...wait...it's trying to load....




....maybe not...argh!

 

[Buburibon]

No Axiom Verge sale either.

IIRC, devs stated there will be no discounts for the first 6 months. Something about not wanting to "cheat" those who paid full price at/around launch.

 

[Luigi87]

UGH
Tried to buy Chroma Squad, it went up in price after failing checkout multiple times...

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Trails in the Sky is only 30% off. It better show up in a daily.

It'll likely go up to 50%-off since that's what it reached on the GOG sale just recently. The Ys games will likely be discounted 75%-off too, not sure about Akiba's Trip.

 

[Li Kao]

Andddd... it's fixed.
Chroma Squad is 10% off.

 

[Burt]

I want it, but you have to give me more than 25%. Sorry guys

Divinity would be worth it if it was being sold at a +25% premium instead of a -25% discount. It's the only game I've spent $30+ on in years. Seriously, don't hold off for 6+ months over $5-10, because despite how far that $5-10 can go in terms of sheer quantity during a sale, you're not going to get a better game out of it.

 

[dot]

Guys, a lot of these deals will be up for at least 12 hours. Calm down.

Not Chroma Squad though. That is definitely not supposed to be 2 bucks lol.

 

[Danthrax]

Well I've never gotten an error that read "Service Unavailable - Zero size object" on the Internet before. Steam is bringing me new and exciting things with this sale.

 

[robotzombie]

chroma squad better not be an error

 

[dream]

It's kind of amazing that after years of summer sales, these fucks still can't get their server loads under control.

 

[Parsnip]

Everyone stop loading the pages for a moment so I can log back in.

 

[NeonBlack]

Processing time for the refund would never get it done in time to rebuy during a flash or daily. C'mon now.

Didn't think off that. Haven't refunded anything on stream before. Guess it's time to play the waiting game.

 

[mfaex]

Chroma Squad showing as 10% off now.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I already have Last Light Redux and 2033 vanilla

Then buy 2033 Redux RIGHT NOW!

Its worthy every single penny.

 

[TheSeks]

How do the flash sales work?

Sale is only good for 12 hours. Then the next flashes come in and the previous ones prices are updated upwards.

 

[105.Will]

I give up. I'll try again in like an hour.

 

[StarPlatinumTheWorld]

pool nation 69p, sold!

 

[MattyG]

UGH
Tried to buy Chroma Squad, it went up in price after failing checkout multiple times...

FUCK.

 

[Red Hood]

Lol what a mess I'm not even going to bother, I'll have a look later tonight or tomorrow.

 

[zma1013]

Ok, here's the plan... all of you log out of Steam... and then I get to buy the games I want without the server crashing out. Then afterwards you all fight amongst yourselves. Sound good?
