Steam Summer Sales 2014 |OT3| Sale over, new thread tonight/tomorrow

It was on the ouija, but I think they cleaned it up for Steam. The Giant Bomb crew plays it from time to time when they have four people in a room, right in the rotation with Samurai Gunn.
I use "BLACKLIST" all the time. It just takes a lot of people permablocking someone for them to be added to it.

So, if it's not in the giver's inventory but the receiver didn't claim it, then where the hell is it? I'm just trying to understand. I've gotten direct Steam gifts a couple of times from GAFFERS (through Modbot raffles) and I don't remember anything special about the process.

It was all good. Thought it was more funny than anything and like I said it was my fault for leaving my speakers on while idling a game for cards.
I thought that was going to be either a TINY Brains or a TINY Thief giveaway
keep spreading the good word. Game is amazing. The best part of the entire sale for me has been this game.

Now this is a Bad Rats roulette I can get behind
As a backer and a lover of anything Tim Shafer I have decided to give away Broken Age! But with a twist!
Two of the mystery games are Broken Age.
The other three are Bad Rats.
Choose wisely and goodluck!
TWO QUESTIONS:
Number 1: Does anyone else always forget that when one game is listed (in this instance, BGII:EE) the other games in the series are discounted (most of the time) and not buy them or only realize later?
Number 2: Is Killer Is Dead any good? Discount is shoddy but it's still a discount.
BONUS ROUND
Bonus: Is it a sequel or related to any other Suda 51 games?

Totally bannable, like telling the mods how to do their job.
We're talking about Steam keys, public shaming should be perfectly acceptable if true.
Well, sorry for not being either!
I request you stop using Megagivers :3

Pretty sure that is the same dude who won Deus Ex from me a while back. I checked his profile and it isn't showing up.

Heard nothing but great things. Have a huge backlog, and just started the Dishonored DLC, but...damn. This game sounds great, and I have zero history or nostalgia with the franchise or indeed any id properties.

I think it's great, very underrated game. Shame it didn't sell more.

A most excellent giveaway! Looking forward to getting into this game myself soon enough.
Well, that's depressing. I gave away a copy of Long Live the Queen but the person who claimed it didn't activate it. They took it-- it's not in my inventory-- but it isn't in their game list. I got curious and startled googling, and it turns out that they have a pattern of taking games without activating.
This is how this bullshit makes me feel:
I'm not going to name names. I'm sure detective-gaf could find lots of people who do this. The community here is pretty good, but it's hard to see that past the scum sometimes.
...Modbot automatically adds the name of the winner to the giveaway text. lol, I think this is an open and shut case.
Sorry that happened though.

All teams neck-and-neck? Wonder why.
because it's the final day lol. Didn't realize that.

The person is the one that won the Raffle, correct? So the people asking for his name may already know if that's the case.
Either way it's a shame this happened. Let us know if we can do something to help.

Is it just me or did the Banished price cut get smaller ?
Yup. I don't even know why. It was $10 and now it's $15.
It did. Was $9.99.

Definitely go to a mod with this. Pretty depressing that people do this, considering how generous this community is.
Only Stump. I think he got annoyed when other mods were being messaged about Modbot.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
It was a daily deal 2 days ago, so the daily deal discount has already expired. But for some reason, it's still listed in "Yesterday's Deals".
Okay yeah, that's what I thought but I thought maybe I misremembered.
We have a lot of detectives in here today.
Ah, that sucks. I stopped checking after finding three other games in a row that were never added.

As I understand it he has set his gift inventory to private (I have too because not everyone needs to see/know everything) so the game could very well be in there but the polite thing to do is to immediately activate won games. Also it looks like this isn't the first time this has happened.

I don't enter a ton of these giveaways, but Broken Age is a game I'm curious about...but just so not curious enough to buy on the flash sale. Chasing the rats makes it all the more thrilling.

A small giveaway of an older game, which I'm finally trying to get out of my backlog.

Well publicly dropping the name can get more people to blacklist the one using the games for personal gain. It is not a bad idea afterall. Im not telling mods how to do their job but that practice of taking games and selling them on other sites instead of doing what the rules of modbot are should be punishable somehow.
Banished basically has the deal it has during the whole sale, 25%
someone didnt tell the devs that dailies arent ACTUTALLY dailies, they are 48hours lol
edit: oh it wasnt a daily deal yesterday? then wtf is it doing there, what game should be there instead?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to start using the blocklist from now on.

probably not ban-worthy...but definitely blacklist worthy.
I jsut checked my PMs and apparently I registered for a Garry's Mod Raffle Humble Bundle key and I won it.
I redeemed it to my Humble Bundle account, tried to redeem it to my Steam account and... I already have Garry'ss Mod.
Since you can't re-gift registered Humble Bundle keys, that copy of Garry's Mod is forever lost.
I'm sorry about that. To try to Remedy that, here's FEZ and Orcs Must Die! from Humble Bundle as well:

Well, at least you didn't do it like 4 Broken Age and only 1 Bad Rats. Can you imagine being the one and only that gets Bad Rats? That must be the shitiest feeling.
