I know I've mentioned this before, but how is this for creative math:

The Enemy Within DLC is € 24,99 on the store page, but as part of the sale it's now € 29,99. What a treat!

Shady, yet very good deal.

Even with steam it require the Social Club account and program, its just downloaded, installed and patched via steam. Everything else is the same.
Friends needs to be added via Social Club as well to invite them, as there are no steam support of any sorts.

Ahh, so it doesn't really matter? Might as well get it on GMG then, no?

That monster mini game was designed in hell. It's abusive in design, corrupt in intention, and void of any redeeming feature. It's as if they decided they were no longer content in draining our wallets during sales, but also needed to suck our souls out of us through our fingertips.

I don't think listing what you bought is allowed, might be wrong.

It's frowned upon, but it isn't bannable.

In the OP:

A: Hold your horses! Someone will presumably make a dedicated damage list thread as the end of the sale draws near. Please wait until then to post your haul as doing so in this thread is liable to set off a chain reaction.

lol it's a promotion for people who buy during the Steam sale instead of discounting a game that has steady legs and has been in the Steam top seller chart for weeks. They have no reason to put it on sale at all right now, it's nice that their GTA sale is more than just 3 through 4 bundled together. Calling that evil and disgusting is just so hyperbolic I can't even.

Anyone play Pandora? I usually only buy 4X games if Rob Zacny gives them a good review, but it doesn't look like he reviewed this one? Is it Eternal Legend-tier or is it Warlock-tier?

I agree the language there is hyperbolic, but his reasoning to being upset is just. It's very bad practice to artificially create a sale by raising the price of the base game and adding in superfluous content to round out the package. If they didn't want to have the game on sale, give that front page spot to someone who could use it. It's also deceptive to the casual user, making them believe they're getting a significant amount off of the game itself.

Word to the wise for those thinking of buying Despair to sell cards. Each one looks to be worth 3 cents after selling for 5 cents, which would literally give you a few cents extra (if any) after selling each of them. I'm not a baller by any means, but buying that game would not make cents. Literally.

Well they added back the base game and price to the page now with no discount whatsoever (as expected)

Don't let that shady deal stop you from getting Enemy Within. Then all you need to do is download the free Long War mod and you don't need to buy anything else until the winter sale rolls around.

Not sure if a price mistake but if you like sims the playway sim bundle is 95% off
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/51669/

Car Mechanic 2014 (not 2015), Construction Machines 2014, Farm Machine 2014, and Helicopter Rescue 2014.

That is a very weird set of games lol

As an avid Simulation nerd who puts up with a LOT of jank, CMS is one of the few sims I wholeheartedly recommend to non-genre fans. It's part of the proud 1% (Euro Truck, Farm Sim, Train Sim, etc.) that is actual quality.

Car Mechanic Sim kicks ass.

Worth buying Metro right now? Probably won't play it for quite a while and it seems like the kind of game that's always on sale.

(I've played them both but only the original version and only one time each.)

In case anyone is interested, I am working on our traditional yearly Indie game steam sale thread now. Still need a while, but I'll also need your help to hunt down some good deals later on.

Toma, you da man. I love your indie game threads, I look forward to them every sale. They have cost me a pretty penny in the past...

Tempted by Metro Redux, Homeworld, and Styx. I'm trying to keep myself at < 100 dollars this sale, so that does eat a huge chunk of it, so I have to think closely if I want to blow that all in one day.

I'm still playing the monster summer game. People occasionally use the medic to heal everyone in lane. Those upgrades are getting ridiculous. A 100k upgrade to get loot from a boss by 1% rofl. Yeah, I'll just check out the other upgrades.

I like to look at it this way: Will you honestly play and beat it between now and the winter sale? If yes, then buy. If no, then wait.

I'm assuming this is the best deal we're going to see on Homeworld since it's a daily?

Oh god, so many people not waiting for dailies...

It's a little amazing that every time Valkyria goes on sale it creeps up to Top Sellers really fast. At $5 it's keeping pace with GTAV, that's nuts.

I'm asking if someone has crafted a badge using restricted cards to see if the usual market/trading cooldown applies to the resulting sale card. If the restriction is in place, then everybody who crafts a badge after a few days will have virtually useless sale cards, so I wouldn't be surprised if Valve's made them exempt.
Click to expand...

Hmm, I thought my new cards had restrictions but it apparently are old ones and no new one has a 7 day lock.

Publishers doubling their prices just before a sale; these are the people who'll kill you in a street for the 5$ you hold in your hand.

I see the community has unlocked Outcast via the mini-game. You guys should get it when it's on sale (tomorrow). It's a great game that was ahead of its time and the current build is pretty stable.

Ziggurat is tempting, but I just have a feeling it's going to get bundled soon. Still one hell of a deal on what everyone says is a great game.
