So, is the Steam Sale just that time of year when the Steam prices drop to around key selling sites prices, or do they go even lower?
 
I'm brand new to Steam Sales so if I see a game I want at 40% off do I wait hours?? days?? to see if it drops to 50% or more or do I buy it at 40% as that is all it will be reduced to? I am sure I will figure it out when the time comes but my nerves might not take it if its a waiting game for further reductions lol

Some days some games go way lower than the LEGIT key resellers.

As for stuff stolen from Russian graphic cards, well.
 
Always wait for it to appear on the daily / flash sales.

if it doesn't appear there pick it up on the last day

Enjoy your first sale. Its exciting getting so much for so little

Okay Thank You very much for the advice. Want a game - wait until its Daily or Flash and if its not there - wait until last day. Got it. I am super excited for my first steam sale lol
 
Having been a PC gamer since the '80s, and having used Steam sin '03, I'm always surprised at how there are so many "My first Steam sale." posts here. Not that it's unexpected....and it also makes me feel old.

Edit** Was the first major sale '08 or '09...I don't remember.


Welcome to Hell my friends...LOL. Enjoy wanting to buy everything and hesitating even when you know it's as cheap as it's going to get.

Unless you're that person (and we have quite a few here) that buys "everything" in every sale.

Also, those that are new to this (or here)...if you don't have massive funds...keep an eye out for giveaways. A lot of folks kindly spread the wealth and Steam bounty about.
 
If I can leave with three of these for under $25, I'm extra-happy:

AssCreed Unity
Ethan Carter
Ground Zeroes
Subnautica
Dead Rising 3

Although Batman is going to cut off a lot of the time I'll have with any of them.
 
Random question: HoMM 3 HD doesn't include any of the expansions, right?

Correct.

HoMM3 HD is a terrible game. You are much much much better off going to GOG and getting the orignal games (with expansions- and it is compatible with the fan made expansions as well) and then modding those to your liking. At 50% off HoMM3 HD is still $7.50, but the game + all expansions is only $10 on GOG, and that isn't even a sale price! For the love of all that is holy do not saddle yourself to this horrible "HD" game.
 
Shit I'm gonna have $24 in my wallet just in time for this thank you steam refunds. Even though I have participated before I guess this is my first sale since I bought my PC so yay!
 
I have no need for anymore games right now, with The Witcher 3, GTAV, Massive Chalice and Invisible Inc on my table. But I will be looking for the usual 2-3 games I buy just for the sake of it. It will preferably be smaller games, like Pac-Man CE and Runner 2 that I have bought before, but there are some longer games like The Talos Principle I will jump on, if the price drops enough.
 
GOG.com sale ends in a few hours. The Kings Quest games are original DOS versions and will run on modern PCs unlike the Steam KQ bundle.

Riddick is also on GOG and DRM free.
 
Huh? I'm not following..

There were always various kinds of key resellers. One of them was the Russian key reseller. Because games are cheaper in Russia, because population has even lower wages.

When rouble went down to half its value last December, Valve said enough and enabled automatic region lock for Russia and similar regions.
 
thats what Saruman said to Gandalf and we all know what happened there

Lol well said.
I spent about $53 on the got sale and have tons of games now.
There are only a couple of games on steam that aren't on gog that I'll be looking out for a sale on.

Will the mobile app tell you when things go on sale?
 
After going through the summer sale the last 4 years- I am trying to get excited for this one but it is hard.

Usually things that go on sale have been on sale multiple times and I see the "In Library" in the corner.

How many times are we going to see Kerbal Space Program and Fallout 3 GOTY Edition go on sale this year? A lot.
