Why would you not just buy ALL the DLCs? The Sanctum Collection (Sanctum + all DLC) is cheap enough. I just need to know if I should actually buy it...

Yeah, gogo Brink, baby! Man I love this game so much, hope there'll be plenty more newcomers in 8 hours.

So discounts accumulate!
I bought the upgrade of Trine 2, and gifted one copy as well. First thing I buy since the start of the sales!
Refresh your page. The two flash deals should be available now. And Saints Row went back up because it was the community vote deal.
Also, wb!

There's a demo.
I think it's great, but I love tower defense in every form.
About seven and a half hours.
Wtf, has that been on sale? I just woke up
Yup they had it up for $6.74.
7hrs 32mins. Also, use your phone, Steam Mobile has all the sale info on it as well.

Thanks, just purchased. I'll likely miss out on a lot of the small jokes since I was really young when I watched the trilogy. Regardless, should be fun.
Just waiting on Steam support to get around to helping me reinstall. Might just have to splurge and get a new hard drive to put back in place of the old one.
Caution, it happened to me as well, and I was charged for the game, even as I don't have it in my account.

Also it seems you can vote on the steam app. Probably on the mobile site too.
Never miss a vote!

Could, EA doesn't seem to care much about the value of the IP does it?
Did you restart Steam like someone suggested?
You know the BTTF movies are out on DVD and Blu-Ray these days right? Why would you not own those?
Never mind, a few refreshes fixed it for me!

This is a bad move from Steam: the deal started at 9 a.m. and will end at 5 p.m. in Europe (UTC+2), which means most people will miss the deal because they are at work!
Ok steam. Will not go to sleep again untill sale is over.

Yep, I restarted it, and it didn't help.

They overlap the deals by 8-12 hours I think. Can't remember exactly how long but they leave them up for a while so that anyone who was on the fence still has a chance.
I don't know exactly, but yeah, they overlap dailies a bit.

They really should alter the way these sales work. Give us more to vote for and lets 2 or 3 run for a whole day. And make the flash deals appear more times or just longer.
The mobile app is no excuse for people who simply don't have the time to check the page several times per day.
Not sure what they thought when they implemented this tbh. Kind of shitty.

It's already up at a 50% discount - but I wouldn't be suprised for it to go up at 75% at some point, as a daily deal/flash sale.
Ah sweet.
So around 9 hours until the next sale? Can't wait.
edit: :lol at the Bioshock bundle. 1p more expensive than the separate games
I've personally been loving it. It puts more games in the lime light and also goes through a lot more games. It gives lesser known and indie games more options than just having a daily. I'm hoping they go with less well known and older titles for flash deals too.

Rayman Origins 50% offI think the OP should keep track of every game that has been on the flash deals list. I just woke up and I don't know what I've missed, it's killing me
Please Salsa, don't go to sleep for 10 days straight and do that for us, will you?
Warlock Master of the Arcane 66% off
Back To The Future - The Game 75% off
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II 75% off
Deus Ex: Human Revolution 75% off
Mafia II 75% off
SpaceChem 75% off
I think they're pleasing the USA actually, now that it's bed time over there they're having a 10 hours pause in flash deals. This sucks a little, but I won't complain (except I've missed a few flash deals because I was sleeping 'cause you know, Italy -__-).

Considering Crusader Kings II and Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai (although I had hoped for a 75% discount), but I think that will be all for day 1. I just cleared my backlog, so need to do unnecessary damage to it again.

Bought terreria and Portal 2(never played it) I don't think my PC can run it but well I don't care one day I'll get a rig that can and I can't not buy it at that price.

changing your download location should help.
Thanks! I missed Back to the Future, and I even wanted it :'(
Did you write that list yourself or is there someplace I can check in the future for it?

Goddamnit what! any chance these flash deals come back? I had no idea....

Me personally too, but I have time and surf the sale a lot anyway. But limited timers which confuse people are a strange way to have a sale. Not good for the games and not good for the customers. The only people who actually wins are those with a lot of time and who check steam several times / day.
That's not really a fragmentation you want to do.
Having older titles, great, having community votes, great, having some kind of flash deals, great. But plan them so people from all regions actually can participate.
