Tips:

• Search other regions of the Steam store by adding'?cc=uk', '?cc=us', '?cc=fr' at the end of Steam's address.
• You can spread the payments over multiple credit cards by adding money from each card/ account to your steam wallet:
  1)Log into the client
  2)Click on '.... account' at the top right corner of the page
  3)Click 'add funds to Steam wallet'
• If you are charged twice for a purchase, DO. NOT. FILE. A. CHARGEBACK! Work with Valve directly to fix the issue.

LovingSteam's (RIP) corner:

What is Steam:


A digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. Steam also has community features, automated game updates, and in-game voice and chat functionality.

As of 2011, there are over 1,500 + games available through Steam. In January 2010 Valve claimed that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts. Although Valve never releases sales figures, Steam is estimated to have a 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.

Many major publishers have catalogs on Steam, including Electronic Arts, Activision, 2K Games, Ubisoft, THQ, Sega, Codemasters, id Software, LucasArts, Capcom, Rockstar Games, Square Enix, Microsoft, and Bethesda Softworks.

Security-
1. Verify Email
2. Steam Guard-Within steam go to Steam> Settings> Manage Steam Gaurd>Keep account guarded by Steam Guard. For more info go here
3. Fishing Attempts- Valve will NEVER email you with sales or include a link that requires you log in. Its a phishing scam. Don't fall for it.

FAQ-
How do I contact Steam support?
Steam Support
Is my support account the same as my Steam account? 
No. Your Steam, Steam Forums, and Steam Support accounts are all different
Is there offline mode?
Yes, from within the client click on 'Steam' and then select 'Go offline'. You will have to store your log in information and periodically (every 30 days?) go online to verify files.
How can I add a non Steam game to the client?
Go to 'GAMES' and click on 'Add a non-Steam game to library'

Remember you can also pay with PayPal

  WAIT FOR THE DAILY DEALS

Things that will happen:

• People will buy things before they go on a daily and then bitch about how they should have waited.
• People will ask if said game is going to get any cheaper or that if he/she should just buy it now.
• People will bitch about how the sales are shit just because every game on discount is a game they already own.
• People will ask if there will be a recap on the last day even thought it has happened everytime, ever.
• People will ignore the info in this OP.
  
• People will be very happy and get great games at a great price.

If any of these things happen you're entitled to quote and laugh.


Useful Sites:

For better browsing on the different store prices (depending on region) you can always use SteamPrices





For better browsing of every game on sale at the moment I recommend using SteamGameSales (great to find the cheapest sale-long discounts)




Users that are willing to help by gifting (in exchange of the proper value sent through paypal) games from other, cheaper regions:

NOTE: keep in mind that paypal fees might turn up during the exchange. If this is the case it is encouraged for the user being helped to take care of them (you can ussually get around it by sending something like 2 extra bucks)

Whoa when did Europa III go up as a flash?

 

[EatinOlives]

Question, how long is Dear Esther? I heard it was around 2 hours or so?

Oh, and I'm pimping out my gif for this new thread, as it was swiftly buried in the last one. It's my first gif I've ever made and I put lots of effort into it

 

[Salsa]

[Edgeward]

[feel]

[SteveWinwood]

That treehouse is gonna burn.

 

[ezekial45]

I really liked someone's joke about calling Steam "Gaben's General Store".

 

[ZZMitch]

Anyone who likes strategy needs to consider Europa Universalis 3! An amazing game.

 

[SolarPowered]

At what time do the daily deals expire? I haven't been paying much attention, but Dear Esther is on sale and I've been wanting to pick that up, but I don't plan on going to the bank in the dead of night.

 

[Sarcasm]

SR3 and overlay doesn't work..how to fix?

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I have a feeling the deals might be boring tonight.

 

[statham]

the runaway games are 75% off, which are the better ones?

 

[Gbraga]

MY FIGHT MONEEEEEEY

 

[commanderpepper]

I can't wait for Super Meat Boy to be on sale, it's my last game on my list to buy this summer.

 

[Dacvak]

Oh god, here we go.

BRING ON PART 2!

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I'm still hoping!

There's still 6 days left, so we'll never know Kandrick.

 

[faceless007]

Has Dead Rising 2 or Off the Record ever been $7.50? I keep waiting for either one to get that low but it never seems to. Don't really want to bite at $10.

 

[legacyzero]

NEW THREEEEAD!

Thanks Gaben!!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Let the party continue!

 

[Retne]

There's another 25 hours on the clock.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

So who's pulling the trigger on the 40% off Walking Dead season pass? I'm debating...

 

[LobLob]

Yay, i am so happy they put Dead Rising on a flash sale, so bought already!!! That brings my total to a bit over just 56 dollars and 11 games and counting.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Arma II. That is all I ever need!

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Getting tempted to buy DR2: OTR even though I usually play DR games for an hour and quickly realize that I hate the game's mechanics.

...help. . I've already spent over $115.

 

[Cutwolf]

Really wanna play Anno but missed the sale. Waaah. Anyone gifting? I'll be your BFF

 

[AlexBasch]

That gif, hahahaha.

 

[Dacvak]

Arma II. That is all I ever need!

Seriously. C'mon, Gaben!

 

[statham]

So who's pulling the trigger on the 40% off Walking Dead season pass? I'm debating...

I pulled the trigger, but I did buy it from amazon for the same price since I had credit.

 

[Ragingnight]

So I wanted to ask this again because I asked at the end of the last thread sooo yeah

do people think Ys Oath won't be a flash/daily deal? I see a lot of people not waiting for either of those deals for Ys Oath.

 

[SteveWinwood]

If gal civ 2 is ever a daily y'all should buy it if you like good games.

 

[Subtervotion]

Bought Portal 1 + 2, Half Life 2 + HL2: Episode 1, Borderlands GOTY, L4D2, and pulling the trigger on AC: Brotherhood right now.

So far a pretty good Steam Sale.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I am now denoting time between flash sale changes by how much of an episode of a Telltale game I can finish.

Half an episode of BttF until two fresh ones!

 

[LobLob]

Has Dead Rising 2 or Off the Record ever been $7.50? I keep waiting for either one to get that low but it never seems to. Don't really want to bite at $10.

I was feelings the same way but fuck it, i don't think it will drop below 9.99 so i just bought it now, can't complain for 10 bones.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

MOTHER OF ALL CREATION THREAD 2 AM HERE

 

[Ultimadrago]

That treehouse is gonna burn.

Calling it now.


Then they will all make a treehouse and live happily ever after.

 

[Crayons]

For those curious about EU3, definitely get the one with the expansion packs.

 

[goober]

Okay, should I get FEAR 1 or the whole shebang

 

[GundamBanshee]

Question, how long is Dear Esther? I heard it was around 2 hours or so?

Yeah. Some people have completed it in a shorter time, but around 2. Depends how long you sit there gawking at the scenery. The experience is well worth $2.49.

 

[Dacvak]

Question, how long is Dear Esther? I heard it was around 2 hours or so?

Oh, and I'm pimping out my gif for this new thread, as it was swiftly buried in the last one. It's my first gif I've ever made and I put lots of effort into it

Lol, actually I love that.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Has anyone had a chance to replay through Dear Esther after their initial playthrough? I already bought it but was wondering if the randomly generated content was done well and interesting too.

 

[Card Boy]

I have shown restrait.

I only got the

PoP Collection - 12.50
Batman Collection - 25
Dark Messiah of Might - 2.50
Warlock: Master of the Arcane - 6.60

$47 ish

My blotter is full of Xelios purchases lol.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

So who's pulling the trigger on the 40% off Walking Dead season pass? I'm debating...

I did. Having never watched the show or read the comics, I think it's totally awesome.
