Come on Borderlands The Pre-Sequel for 75% off. The Thanksgiving sale was weak.

I'm not sure if it'll be that price, but you'll have plenty of opportunities to buy it at sale price, don't you worry.

 

[Kriken]

Well, time to fill out what the Fall sale and BF couldn't. Now where did my wallet go?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

All I'm getting for certain is Metal Gear. I'll grab Korra if it goes to clearance prices before Activision yanks the game.

 

[Ayumi]

I still have games from the last winter sale

Spoiler

2 years ago

that I haven't played.

I need to learn some self control for these things.

But this is what Steam is for. Buy too much on sale that you will never play.

 

[Nyoro SF]

If Valkyria Chronicles has a sale I'll buy it for my friends. >

 

[alexandros]

I have A LOT of games on my wishlist.

 

[Renzoku]

I haven't played through the stuff I bought from the last sale yet!

 

[ref]

68 games on my wishlist.

I am ready.

 

[somesayyea]

yay, time to add to my backlog

 

[bathsalts]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

You'll be fine, stick to dailes and flash stuff.

Think I got to take it easy this year if I want HOTAS

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Will not get hopes up if Thanksgiving sale was a 'taste' of things to come.

 

[warheat]

I have A LOT of games on my wishlist.

 

[suikodan]

Ground Zeroes and a Steam Sale on my birthday?

Aw yiss.

I can say the same ^_^

Glad to find a gaffer with the same birthdate as me, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, etc...

However, I did refrain from buying anything from the last sale since my backlog of (PS4) games is full.

[neorej]

 

[Brerlappin]

made this for the summer sale but its probably more appropriate for the winter sale anyway..

[Molemitts]

To summarize:

Holy fuck, I'm dying!

 

[TheSeks]

Also the launch of Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes on PC.

They still haven't put it up for pre-order. It's "volvo plz."

 

[demosthenes]

If Valkyria Chronicles has a sale I'll buy it for my friends. >

Me too!

 

[dreamfall]

Ooooo this shall be awesome! Gotta get funds sorted out!

 

[Arkhanor]

I must keep telling myself that I already have way too many games to play and finish.

Spoiler

Shadow of Mordor, come at me, bro! You too, The Evil Within

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

They still haven't put it up for pre-order. It's "volvo plz."

Maximize the impact of that day one 20% daily deal of a new game. People will go crazy.

 

[Caffeine]

on the day i get money fml

 

[The Shogun]

Have $300 of Steam credit currently in my wallet.

Should be good to go

Has anyone ever discussed the possibility of Steam Sales having diminishing returns? Basically everyone buys most of the games they ever wanted to buy, and then the sales die because all that's left are boatloads of games no one would ever play, let alone spend money.

 

[EternalTruth]

Still waiting for Watch_Dogs to reach the $20 price point :/

Everyday here's at least one decent if nto awesome game coming out on Steam.

It's not like consoles where droughts are happening every other month.

For an individual the pool of games they might be interested might shrink, but there's always something to look forward to.

 

[Visualante2]

Oh, it will. See how MGS Rising preorder got introduced last winter sale and discounted at 33%off. The same thing will happen now. There's no chance in hell that it doesn't have a discount because they would lose all the exposure they could potentially have. They would get buried by everything else on sale.

I anticipate that the base price for MGS Rising will be really inflated compared to the going rate for the console release.

I think a couple of things have changed it, indie bundles, more competition for Steam keys, the whole Russian/Nuuvem thing. There are just way more ways to acquire Steam games than there were 3-4 years ago. I definitely feel it but there are still a steady release of games coming out. It's just Steam sales aren't as competitive.

 

[ajb1888]

Hahahaha I love it!

Hopefully Dark Souls transition happens by then!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I thought this was known? Same date last year too.

 

[Watevaman]

Hopefully my wallet can go unmolested as it did last year.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I hope for a return of the ~$13 Kerbal Space Program. I know I shoulda picked it up long ago, but I was afraid for my wallet.

It's gonna be great. Stay safe GAF

 

[JaseC]

I thought this was known? Same date last year too.

Same day, technically (third Thursday of December). The date is off by one because of how calendars work.

 

[kaskade]

Well I'm getting a new GPU for xmas so I'm sure I'll pick a couple things up. I really haven't bought much from the past sales though. The first one when I built my PC will always be the greatest.

 

[mcfishstick]

Amazing gifs!

 

[Mifec]

1 day after my b-day. I expect all my steam friends to send me lots of stuff

 

[Nokterian]

My wallet is not ready!

 

[inm8num2]

Bring on the community events and competitions. Forever Team Red from Summer 2014.

 

[Haunted]

Fairly disappointed with the sales for games on my wishlist during Thanksgiving. Cautiously optimistic? I dunno.

To this day I don't know if that sudden cutoff at the end is on purpose, but it's so perfect, gets me every time.

 

[DXLelouch153]

unless other family members give me some cash for Christmas no money for you this time Gabe

 

[TheSadRanger]

You already own everything on steam tho

 

[Totobeni]

This time I'll be only buying the games I know that want to play...

 

[Dolor]

This is an instant classic.

 

[TheSeks]

You missed November's sales, where he posted updated dailies where he didn't have some of the things on sale. I'm going to say he still didn't buy those.

 

[draetenth]

Great timing, the GOG sales will be over, I've bought all X-mas gifts already, and I will have gotten paid. Now, I can buy the games that aren't available on GOG. Thanks to that queue thing Steam added I have a whole bunch of games on my wishlist.

 

[JaseC]

You missed November's sales, where he posted updated dailies where he didn't have some of the things on sale. I'm going to say he still didn't buy those.

My plan was to ignore the Dailies and focus on Early Access games with incentives/that are set to significantly increase in price, as well as software liable to be replaced (I'm looking at you, MAGIX), but as it turns out most of the Early Access games I'm in particular need of are recent releases (meaning they'll be in EA for a while) and only one piece of MAGIX's software was decently discounted, so after a couple of days I started snapping up the Dailies (just not soon enough to have this reflected in the images I used in the OP).

 

[Filben]

The word has to be spread!

232 games on my wishlist. Oh boy...

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

My wishlist is ready
