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

The summer game seems to think I am in it, but I never actually saw it launch. Is there way to access the game or bring it back?

I earned two cards and it shows I am level 10. I just don't see a way to view the game.

Go to the community tab, or the store and click play. If you're already in a game it'll say resume game.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
When I go to the the store page it says the new flash seals are active but I'm seeing the same games as before...
It's probably a glitch. We have another 40 mins before the flash deals refresh.
 
Do flash deals receive a greater discount in the final hour? I bought Papers, Please for -50% and now it's -70%. I've noticed the Morrors Edge discount is steeper now too.

That's just Steam having issues. They should have been the latter prices at first. First day always has these hiccups.

Yeah, sometimes... sometimes mistakes happen. Happened to a few people. Get a refund for the game then buy it again at the cheaper price. It'll still be available for another 12.5 hours, anyway.

Damn. It looks like You Need a Budget won't be getting a sale. Confirmed by a developer on the discussion forum.

Guess I'll only be getting Ark: Survival Evolved and maybe Pillars of Eternity when or if they get flash or daily deals since I still haven't played half the stuff I got at the last Summer Sale.

Hey Guys

Sniper 3 is Malaysian Ringgit RM28.50 at -70% $7.62

Just wondering if I use a VPN on Malaysia can I add it to my account buy game play it on my normal AUS account?

Or does the restrictions still apply. I have a AUS account

Cheers

For you.
I am eager to wait but the offer is till 22 June which is the last day of sales.

That doesn't mean that it won't have a further deal. It just means that it's the regular summer sale discount for the duration of the sale. It will definitely be cheaper, believe me.

Yes! Long time lurker first time poster. I'm after a fps with a large multiplayer community. I'm leaning towards CSGO, but I'm new to steam and recently sticking my toe's back in the gaming pool in general.

Should that be the game I wait to purchase during the flash sale or are there other recommendations?

Team Fortress 2 is a free-to-play team-based FPS and a great game overall. Give it a whirl.

It's not a daily, or a flash, but it may not go any lower. The discount will be there the entire sale, so no real harm in waiting. Maybe it'll drop, but considering the history with cheaters in the game there's potential it may not be. Waiting never hurt nobody.

Just looking through my wishlist now, pretty disappointed at the lackluster discounts. I mean 15% of Shovel Knight... disappointing. Hopefully there are some good dailies and flash sales to come.

Using a VPN to buy games is such an at your own risk deal to start. Also, Malaysia is part of the restricted South-east Asia region.

Mind if I join too?

Go for it, no problem. I'll erase my url when I'm gone to bed. Beyond that, people can just throw their own URL into the thread and someone will add them when they can.

That's an error.

Looks like my "wait for the dailies" post was correct.

Thanks for the heads-up!

You'd be risking your account and you'd also need a VPN every time you wanted to play the game.

Thanks.

Wow....so the purpose of this game is to click monsters until they die or you get carpal tunnel? Amazing...it's they distilled Diablo into it's purest form.

If you're actually clicking, you're doing it wrong. Get an auto clicker. Save your wrists.

Hmmm... well, looks like I can sleep. This set of flash deals isn't too appealing to me either.

So I was about to buy Dead Rising 3 when I noticed a fair amount of reviews saying the game is poorly optimized for PC. That genuinely worries me. Does anyone know if this stuff has been patched, or if people are overreacting maybe?
