Steam Summer Sale 2015 thread of refunding everything you buy (June 11-21)

Someone please explain to me why XCOM: Enemy Within is more expensive XCOM Enemy Unknow Complete Pack. Way to screw over the folks that bought your main game.

This is also known as the Skyrim tactic. Just more reason for me not to buy a game until all the DLC is released.

LOL, I was wondering that as well. This sale is like one crappy business practice after another. Very disappointing opening day!

Hey everyone I'm discounting my game by 50 percent!!!! I am also bundling some shit you don't want with it, therefore bringing it up to the original price!

What a lovely day.

It's baffling how they can constantly plan these events themselves knowing the exact size of their user base and having historical data to help them estimate the influx of activity that will come with it, and yet everything fall flat on its fucking face 10 minutes in, invariably.

Has YNAB been on sale in the past during the big summer/winter sales? It doesn't have any discount at the moment so hopefully that doesn't mean no discount for the whole sale.

You Need a Budget? Yeah, it's gone on sale often during Steam Sales

Front page, voting and even the metagame thing are really elegant... by far the best sale layout and flow yet.

Yet I also can't remember the last time Steam was nonfunctional for hours at the start of a sale.

Come. On.

So is the XCOM: Enemy Unknown port good? I have the PS3 version already but it chugs a lot in some spots so i was wondering if the PC version is good.
 
Log back in then take a second look. This is with the base game + DLC.

I was confused at first too.

I still don't see this.

They've always been weird (in a bad way) with XCOM pricing. Stark contrast to their Civ V pricing, which generally has lots of options for people to upgrade to the complete version.

What happened to Grand Theft Auto V...

It was at $30 when the sale launched, now the pricing got all fucked up with those shark cards... It was 33% (you can see it on the OP page)

Now it's only 25% @ $59.99 from the "original price of $79.98.

Where did the $30 base game option go, is it coming back?

Well if you were playing on PS3 before you were playing the port. Firaxis makes high quality PC games that usually include a ton of options, and EU is no different.
 
Valve vastly underestimated the Cookie Clicker Genre.

They DO realise there are apps out there like Murgee's Autoclicker that can have me clicking at 1ms intervals, right?

I really, REALLY hope that most of the game's input mechanics are calculated offline, because hundreds of thousands of people clicking madly, with each click having to be recieved by the server? that's just ASKING for a DDOS.

Yeah, I bought it during a sale. I highly recommend it. I believe I have been using it for about a year, so probably go it last summer sale, and have saved a lot of money.

It was never the game. Was mislabeled.
 
Great to see The Binding of Isaac Rebirth on the first day. I have it for free thanks to PS+, but I think it's time for me to move on to using the PC version.

I'm going to be waiting for the Skyrim DLC to drop into deeper discount pretty soon, and I might even go for Dark Souls II.

I'm going light on this Summer Sale, and I hope I can keep that promise.
 
Valkyria Chronicles getttttttt

How come everyone is going on DS2 already? I don't see it as daily or flash!

more likely due to searching or using the wishlist since there are games that aren't necessarily shown front and center with discounts already (eg. Oddworld previous games like Strangers Wrath HD are 75% off right now) and have a chance of higher one if its becomes a daily or flash.



Right, but the base SKU is the one I added to my wish list. They just "updated" that SKU to include the online money and raised the price. Otherwise the game wouldn't be in my wish list at all anymore.

It's an unprecedented act of bullshit and Rockstar needs to be raked over the coals for it.

As i said its still shady as fuck
 
Got to love Steam Sale logic. It is cheaper for me to buy both XCOM: Enemy Unknown (which I own) and Enemy Within, than it is to just buy Enemy Within. It doesn't even give me the option to give away the second copy of Enemy Unknown either if I buy the package deal. WTF? So I am just buying an extra game that disappears in to the ether?

 
Bought Metro Redux pack for $10, good games and have wanted to try them. Also happened to get in on the $2.50 Chrome Squad glitch although honestly I doubt I'll ever play the game. I don't think I received the card for spending money in the store, oh well.

I already have XCOM: EU and I want to play EW. Should I purchase the complete package or should I wait for EW to be discounted further. Right now it's only at 50% off.
