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

Still bothers me that the Dark Souls 2 upgrade is a ripoff... So baaaaaad.

Prices seem to have updated, but not for all games. South Park was $13 in the daily, but it's $23 now, for example.
People keep saying 7 days, don't think you'll see it before the sale is over

Yep. I refunded a game 3 days ago, still pending.
Some people have had refunds approved in as little as 1-2 hours (game removed from account). However, the actual refund to your bank/card or Steam wallet takes a few days. (edit - beaten...)
Thinking of this too, so weird of NONE of the franchise games being on proper sales.
Last year I bought Dark Souls 1 in May during a weekend sale and then it was in the summer sale a month after for 1,50 euros less.
This year nothing?

I told myself I would get it when it was sub-$25 since I already played it on PS3 (no DLC though) so I'll be getting it either way. But I was just hoping it would go sub-$20.

Bummed.
Dont you just love when a huge bill pops up, drinks your cash, and leaves you no funds for a sale? LOL this is the first one I've missed.
Luckily, there wasn't a whole lot that I had to not buy.

I guess my haul was:
- Hexcells Infinite
- The Talos Principle
- The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Not bad. I basically sold my PS4 versions of FIFA 15 and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD for these.
I'm gonna get Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin in the Winter sales. Haven't completed Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 or Bloodborne yet anyway.

Looks like they chose every game that I was tempted by but wasn't quite discounted enough for me to feature in the encores:
Dead Rising 3
Pillars of Eternity
WatchUnderscoreDogs
Ori
Grim Fandango
This War of Mine
Divinity OS
Life Is Strange
Wasteland 2
Darkest Dungeon
Fuckin Gaben. He knows this will make me buy at least half of them.
Also boo to Ark for wasting a space in the encore with 17% off.

Copying Skyrim, probably. It sucks that buying the GOTY is a better deal than buying the DLC seperately.
Yeah, it's bizarre.
Same price/hopes, but hey... It'll go cheaper eventually, and I'm not in much of a rush.
Well I'm not (re-)playing it any time soon anyway, so I'll wait until the next sale.
What a rubbish sale. Sites like Humble Bundle (and other, more 'grey market', sites) have stolen it's thunder the past few years.
I've only bought 2 games - Nidhogg double pack and Rocket Knight - and I'm getting a refund on RK as it's not as good as the original.
Time to go on mop up duty, and look through all the 90% deals.

Bah, the neptunia 2 sale keeps taunting me. I knew I'd regret getting the cs:go operation pass when it came out.
No Dark Souls 2. I'm fine paying $25 for it, but checking every day to see if it's on sale then having it never come up is such a huge disappointment.
I'm really getting tired of the Steam sale format at this point. I wish they would just give us the lowest price from the start, then just feature different games on the front page every day.

Life is Strange is totally worth it at this price.

As someone who last PC-gamed in a pre Steam era, I cannot get my head around people's complaints about pricing. Most of the games in the sale are cheap as dirt and people are still disappointed. How low do they have to go exactly before people are satisfied? You could buy enough good games to last until the next sale with very little money.
How is Neptunia Re;Birth1? Never played a game in the series before.

Not that I ever got around to playing them but they're supposed to be as good if not better than the main game.

Yeah. It's like a proper expansion pack. I'm only on the second mission of Knife of Dunwall, and I have 5 hours logged. They're great missions too. There's like 5 missions left, which should be a ton of hours.
Get Knife of Dunwall, and Brigmore Witches (or the GotY edition, if you don't have the base game).
Just buy Ori. Easy peasy.

Just grab witches and knife of dunwall. A bit cheaper than the GOTY. The other dlc you dont need.
Thanks. GotY it is then.
$2.69
SteamGAF's secret GOTY.
Everyone buy these. Absolutely fantastic games.

Enjoy! One of my favorite games of the generation.
Yeah nothing for me unfortunately.

This is what I'm considering from the encore sales:
With the exception of Talos Principle these are all pretty good prices I guess. Maybe I'll give Talos a skip and pick it up during the winter sale for a hopefully steeper discount.

Wow, that was pretty lame all in all.
The DLC prices are a scam. What's the point of ever buying the base game, if the Game of the Year Edition is going to be cheaper than the DLC?
I've been waiting for the Dishonored and Bioshock DLCs to get bigger discounts for months now. Instead, Dark Souls 2 is a new addition to the Wishlist.

There's really no need to buy both Wasteland 2 and Divinity at the same time, especially as both of them will get large updates later this year. Wait with at least one of them to the next sale.
Buy Ori and Grim Fandango.

Ended up with:
Just Cause Collection
Valkyria Chronicles
Ori
Massive Chalice
Higurashi

What time is it?
It's a combination of people having larger libraries, discounts the past few sales haven't been as good as in previous years, and more and more competitors offering better deals.
The last chapter of Wolf among us thoroughly shits the bed. It stains the mattress and then the carpet underneath and seeps into the kitchen through the ceiling.

Still haven't bought anything from the Summer Sale, I have a lot of games already that I need to get to and none of the deals for anything I might be interested in have been what I'd consider good enough for an impulse buy, especially when I know GMG will likely have something better by or before the time I'll actually be ready to play it.
You won't get insta-banned, and it won't let you check out.

I think that's a great price for Talos. It was one of my favorite games of last year. Very creative and a ton of content.
