Thanks, I got all the DLC I don't have except for Pirates and Raiders. Not bad for 12 dollars.

This is the number one thing Valve need to get on to.
There's security, and then there's rubbish.
Two-factor authentication is to prove your identity, and yet they're so scared of it (I wonder if there's a reason to be?)
I would love to see you on the battlefield.
and that is...
Buyers see the final price. This isn't an example of the many features of Steam that need to be overhauled.
RE6 is very fun in coop. If you go in knowing it's going to be a Resident Evil game directed by Michael Bay you'll be fine.It's definitely worth it for the amount of game you get.

So, Steamworld Dig.
I have it wishlisted a LONG time ago and I can't remember why anymore.
On Steam I read it's a metroidvania, which is good.
But at the same time, looking at its screens, it gives me puzzle-platforming vibes. Like Fez (imho pretentious) or Full Bore (imho boring).
Anyone who played it could solve my doubt?
Thanks!
You start out with a basic pickaxe and start digging in the mines. You then find different upgrades that allow you to progress further down, while also finding different minerals that you can sell back in town to upgrade your gear/buy useful consumables. I don't find it pretentious or boring at all. The mechanics and animations are great, and it's very relaxing to dig and dig. The game doesn't overstay its welcome, either. It's only a few hours long. I own it on PS4/Vita and found it to be a solid purchase.

Civ 5 DLC worth it, or should I just wait for Beyond Earth to come out?

Yes, and I'm still waiting for my wishlisted games to arrive
same here,
but they will never arrive cause 2 Summer cards arrived instead
If anyone picked up Rome II and wants some free DLC for it, PM me. I have the Nomadic Tribes DLC from a recent Humble Bundle that I'm looking to get rid of
Grab "Gods and Kings" and "Brave New World".
If you're referring to the chart, I'm not sure what exactly it shows, especially at the very low end. Could be that people do sell at 0 just to get rid of the item, but I don't even know for sure if that is possible. I've never noticed any real issues if you're above the minimum though in terms of consistency.
All that said, this buy order system is brand new, so some things have changed slightly. But the fundamentals are essentially the same.

Not to be "that guy" but it is a difference of $2.50. The game is still worth buying at $5.00
Steam community voting is the worst. There have been several crazy 90% off deals we have missed in favour of getting Farcry 3 or something for $7.50 for the 30th time in the last 3 months.

RE4 or Banished? I've never played RE4 before.
Freedom = $1.05

between selling cards and M&Ms free money i have bought like 7 things without spending a penny of my own money.
this has been the best summer sale ever.
this has been the best summer sale ever.
but...
wait does that mean that basically since my currency is in I am simply not allowed to sell some items, because I can't enter a low enough price, while if I was in $ I would?
Sounds like my kind of game. Will buy!
What a shit coin. It should've landed on the edge.
Strongly agree, don't understand the praise for this one. I was excited enough to get it day 1 when it released on Steam and... yeah. Not happy about doing that.

Yep. Or rubles.

Yeah... But it usually drops to 15 around the holiday sale like all the other Ass Creeds a year later. Try and grab a Gold version from a Russian seller for cheaper too when it comes
Buy the "Gods and Kings" and "Brave New World" expansions. Anything else is optional, though you might want to pick up a couple DLC civilizations if they interest you. Maps are not really worth it.
Worth it. Beyond Earth is going to play a bit differently.

If you found Full Bore "boring" (excuse the pun), then maybe SWD isn't for you. Maybe Spelunky isn't for you either, and I don't have the words to describe how I feel about that.
Knife & Witches are amazing and basically a second game.
But when you pay twice as much, that means you can buy half as many games.
I would say hold off until the last day. There's still a chance it will be a flash sale. If it isn't, then pay 5 bucks on the final day.
If it's your first time, definitely RE4.
Man.. i would love to play this game again for the first time.
I haven't played Banished so no comment on that..

listen to the mad man
It's not laughable. Stop and think. How does Valve benefit from you not spending money? They don't. Therefor whatever reason you think they have for doing this, it's not to profit. Ergo, if their stated reason is to deter fraud, why would you think the actual reason is not to deter fraud?
Here's the loophole a hacker could exploit if they didn't have this rule:
1) An account does not have SteamGuard, and thus cannot use the market.
2) A hacker hacks the account and adds SteamGuard
3) The hacker abuses the market.
Alternatively:
1) A hacker phishes your SteamGuard code
2) A hacker adds their computer to your account
3) The hacker abuses the market
Why support can't lift it:
1) Hacker hacks you
2) Hacker asks support to let them in
3) The hacker abuses the market
Both of these scenarios are stopped by the policy that is preventing you from using the market. So clearly the stated reason that this is designed to reduce fraud makes sense.
What you actually mean is that security measures are frustrating when they inconvenience you. Yes, they are. Tough shit. But it's not as though the Steam Market is a do or die situation. You'll be okay. You don't need to use the market this very instant. The items will still be there, and you still have options to get the badge without using the market, including asking anyone here for help. I am sure someone would be happy to buy you one of every card in exchange for 1 TF2 key once you're able to trade again. Next time either don't format your computer in the middle of the sale, or have another device that wasn't just added (all your other computers, phones, etc, anything else you've previously authorized will continue to work with the marketplace right now)
And here's the advertising you were looking for:

A formality, really. Probably going to get Child of Light anyway on PS4 since I got some free PSN cash there.

Resident Evil 6 = $9.99. My steam wallet = $9.07. Locked out of community market until June 30th @ 1 AM. Oh well.

SteamGAF is only like 1% of the entire Steam community. We're always fighting an uphill battle.
I saw in the history of an item once where it sold for .02. I assume that graph is based off of total sale, not user cut?
RE4, it isn't even close. Game of the Generation and still every bit as good as the day it came out.

Nope! They stopped selling it as soon as the Complete Edition launched. Now the cheapest upgrade path is to buy the Complete Edition, which contains the game you already own!
