Are winners selected at the end of each day or at some point to be determined after the sale ends?

 

[Derp]

What if they feel like leaving blue as a loser for the entire sale so they feel the summer blues.

I think you're onto something!

 

[Uzzy]

Wait, did Transistor lose?

 

[rekameohs]

Well that 1,000,000 to 300,000*3 solidifies it as rigged, which is nice since I'm a blue.

 

[Whools]

And all for a 30/1,000,000+ chance of winning three games.

probably more like 30/100,000 - 200,000 chance given so me people contribute lots of points, but yeah, it is unnecessary

At the end of each day - I remember seeing a list earlier of the games that were given out from the winners' wishlists.

End of the day.

Wait, did Transistor lose?

The power of "oh, these games are the cheapest, I'll vote for them."

 

[Kamek]

So hyped to play guacamelee!

 

[Strider]

Wait, did Transistor lose?

yep. Wasn't expecting that.

but it'll probably be a daily at some point.

 

[hannuraina]

Wait, did Transistor lose?

i think so. which sucks, the one game i was really hoping to pick up cheap during the sale. hopefully its a daily later

 

[Sourtreats]

Wait, did Transistor lose?

Only just. 55% voted for Co-op RPG.

 

[JaseC]

The former (10am PT to be precise), though the prizes aren't distributed until the next day.

 

[Poetic]

Surprised Transistor didn't win.

 

[Chariot]

I heard bad and good things about the game. I honestly wouldn't buy the game, so I try to snap it from you :<
Nice giveaway in any case

 

[Sub Zero]

Is the Castle Crashers community still active? Also is the game worth playing for the single player?

 

[Fornaximus]

The Steam community is awful at voting. We do not deserve democracy.

Democracy confirmed for being a sham. Damn everything.

Same here. A few people need to be beat.

 

[freshVeggie]

To Gaffers that help others get games cheaper, how do you exchange the money?

Paypal. Fellow gaffer liezryou is very trustworthy and fast.
In his own words:

You guys can ask any US GAFfer for assistance to help you get region locked games (And/or get games cheaper vs euro prices). Just add me or a innumerable amount of people, we would be glad to help.

Bought games from him, very nice guy.

Guaranteed to see Transistor as a daily at one point.

ikr! I mean it's not like the team that wins even gets anything but recognition.


Odds for winning a game on the winning team are similar to those of lottery.


Congratz Valve you've successfully turned your platform into a gambling meta-game

 

[Jme]

Going to recommend They Breathe for $0.61

It's basically free if you sell a few duplicate trading cards...

 

[symphonask]

Everyone should grab Walking Dead Season 2. That third episode, wow.

You got 30 minutes! Grab it!

It's not a daily deal atm, though? Or am I looking at it wrong?

 

[morningbus]

Using my first post in the sales thread to say that the subtitle for this thread should be Rainbow Coalition.

 

[Armoured Priest]

Wait, did Transistor lose?

Looks that way. If Reddit is pushing the even results for the game, 4chan must be trolling community choices.

Spoiler

probably not, but still, no Transistor?

 

[Chariot]

Deus Ex HR is a nice game.

 

[rtcn63]

our time is running out

Then let it. Time is nothing to us.

 

[Easton Dark]

Is the Castle Crashers community still active? Also is the game worth playing for the single player?

Not sure to the first (guessing no), hard no to the second. Really not a single-player affair.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Another vote i wanted fails again. No Transistor for me yet...

 

[YianGaruga]

Guaranteed to see Transistor as a daily at one point.

At 25% for a game without zombies or Early Access? I'm not so sure about that.

 

[Fornaximus]

Deus Ex HR is a nice game.

OK. I'll admit that the last one was a good choice, with Deus Ex HR and Fallout NV. But it might be the only good one picked so far.

 

[Grief.exe]

It's actually less than that as only people who contributed points have a chance at the prize.

There are multiple way to earn points greater than one and there is no cap on amount of points someone wins in a day.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Bionic Commando and Rearmed sitting at $2.50, oh my.

 

[Derp]

I'm told you guys Transistor wouldn't win... -.-

See you in the Winter Sale, Transistor... *Sigh*

 

[Archaix]

I'm of the opinion that reddit did the right thing. This whole meta game was... bad from the start as far as I'm concerned. The whole idea about people competing by spending money to craft badges, instead of by spending money to buy and/or play steam games feels just... wrong to me.

I agree, this is the first time the metagame has just felt dirty and gross. I'm completely disinterested in what's going on around it this time around.

 

[Poetic]

Shadowrun was a great one too. I was able to get Dragonfall cheap.

 

[ProjectOmega2x]

No Transistor? Once again disappointed by the Steam community...

 

[alr1ght]

Bionic Commando and Rearmed sitting at $2.50, oh my.

Do it. Rearmed at least. Really wish they'd release BCR2 on Steam.

 

[kmg90]

I voted for Co-op, didn't think any of the games other than Transistor were worth it even so the "deal" for Transistor was very meh.

 

[Balehead]

Got only 55% of the vote so it was quite close.

 

[Ruruja]

The only way this can be done though, is if the main whales (or hundreds of reddit users) are using a 'change team token' every day. That's a ridiculous expense.

 

[xptoxyz]

Just to make sure, if your team wins, only way to make points to be in for the "wishlist raffle" is to have crafted a badge right?

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I agree, this is the first time the metagame has just felt dirty and gross. I'm completely disinterested in what's going on around it this time around.

I could be wrong, but I feel like previous metagames have had more benefit for playing along with them. Here, it's just "you might get a chance to win a game off your wishlist"

Just to make sure, if your team wins, only way to make points to be in for the "wishlist raffle" is to have crafted a badge right?

I think so. The rules are so convoluted and confusing.

 

[fokkusu]

Nice job Pinks!

 

[someguyinahat]

Who are all these people with friends that are voting for co-op? That's my question!

 

[Caerith]

Jasec posted earlier today that it was updated, i.e. fixed later.

I must've missed that. Maybe I'll double-dip on the DC sometime then.

 

[Nif]

I've voted in each community choice so far and each one of my picks has lost. I'm going to vote the opposite on the next one.

 

[Costia]

Wanted transistor as well but voted for co-op. The 25% instead of 10% discount is meh.

 

[JaseC]

Yes.

The game was patched but I don't know if it moved the game to a newer build of the engine. Said patch was in development for almost a year, though, so you'd presume so.

 

[ArynCrinn]

I had to buy the ME2 DLC from the BioWare website with "BioWare points". This was before Origin, and it's still not on Steam. I had to contact EA support to get my key for ME1's Bring Down the Sky DLC because the codes included with the Steam version don't work anymore.

WOW!
