Yes. millions of free invites are floating around the internet.
XCom, it's turn based.
Civilization games, they are among the best.

Yeah, it's 'beschlagnahmt'. http://www.schnittberichte.com/news.php?ID=682
But it will run in Germany. http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/17792
I was wondering. Just got home and checked the sales. Saw DOTA and clicked on it to see what all the fuss was about and saw that big green bar that says you already own the game and I said "I DO?!?!?!" It's not in my library or anything.

I second this. Fantastic games for relaxing to.
Any strategy game by Paradox might be a worthwhile ticket.

Just to let others know I sent payment. Depending on which keys are available I might offer some on here for the equivalent value. Very happy to see some Gaffers not trying to make profits out of others

I guess they made DOTA2 finally open to everyone? Someone else mentioned too that he suddenly owned it despite not using an invite. And it'll probably appear in your library as soon as you install it once.

If you don't want Dishonored I put a trade offer up in the trading thread -

Sorry dude that's the one I'm after the most! I've already played a couple of the other games though and I'm not sure where I stand with the fallout games and DLC as they have been sitting in my backlog for quite some time...

Europa Universalis 3 and Crusader Kings 2. You can't win no matter how fast you press those buttons, but you can be an Emperor.
Working here. Might be the server you're connecting to.

Bro, it's like 90 cents that you're haggling over? Just skip buying a pack of bubble gum for the week or something. lol
Yeah, not loading for me in either the Steam browser or Firefox.

That's the spectator client. I'm not sure if you'll have to redownload if you get a real beta invite.
Hmm weird, mine looks like this:
Yeah that's the same as me. I'm either getting that or it's not loading at all.
Phone app works fine, if you can..Hmm weird, mine looks like this:

Gamersgate looked liked that last night, not kidding, during the Bethesda pack pricing error ......

bah. I wish the Gamefly sold Crysis 2 was the Steam version and not Origin.
I have a question...there's a game, Drakensang 2, that is currently available in the US store but not in Germany where I live (even though ironically it was developed here, and is a German game through and through). Publisher's trying to get it through Greenlight but I hear it's currently 75% off in the US store.
So does anybody know if somebody in the US could technically gift it to me? Or does that not work? Also can anyone check if the version available on Steam has German as a available language (I suspect not but couldn't hurt to check...I want the original VO)...

i already have hella games i haven't played and so my outlook is usually i can wait until any one game is its cheapest, it's a principle rather than a concern for 90 cents. has served me well in the past, i may end up cracking on this one though cause i do want to play fo2 soonish
and also on top of all that i don't chew bubble gum

Seconding these recommendations, with the caveat that you may not be a bad enough dude to play games as awesome as those.

Got me Universe Sandbox for £1.74, love space stuff. But goddam if this isn't the worst Steam sale ever. I wonder if it's because we are so close to Christamas.

Same reason here. I would definitely buy fallout 1/2 if it was $2.50.
It's F2P which means everyone owns it, but there are limitations in place until you either buy it or it's gifted to you. If you want a copy just let me know.

I bought Left 4 Dead 2 at the last sale (haven't played it yet).
I've read that the original L4D is different and to some, perhaps better. Should I grab it, despite having L4D2?

Don't quote me on this but aren't the maps from the first one a free download for the second? Me and about four or five friends played the original on 360 for hundreds of hours. One of my favorite games of this generation. The second game was probably "better" but it never caught on like the first did.
You're good with 2. It's got all the campaigns from the first.

Thanks for your input. Yes, I believe the original maps are available for the sequel, however what the sequels adds is supposedly more frantic/tougher enemies. I think that the original is a slightly slower pace or something. Just going by what I recall reading since I haven't played either.
It's only five bucks, but hey, I'll be happy not to buy it since I already have L4D2. That is unless it really is a different experience and then I can enjoy both.
EDIT: Thanks Def Jukie
I'm not sure why the majority of deals aren't as good as past sales, whether Valve has any control over it - but the other DD sites are showing them the way so far this Christmas.
I remember a lot of games that have been on sale so far were also on sale in the summer, and for the vast majority of them, they aren't any cheaper now, even if they're cheaper or have been cheaper on competing services.
It doesn't help that there are only six deals per day and not 12 either - that doesn't even seem sensible considering there are more games on Steam than there were in the last sale.

Man, that Train Simulator 2013 deal is not what it used to be. I got around $80 worth of stuff for a little over $7 during the summer sale. Now the Northeast Corridor expansion alone is $20. Add on content is so expensive for that game, I wouldn't mind a little more but -50% is not enough to pull the trigger.

Drakensang river of time is giftable to Germany right?
Do you think the game itself (with the content packs) is good for that 75% off? Is the game accessible for newer players? I'm hearing it also supports gamepads? I really do want to get it, just want more GAF impressions.
It looks beautiful !
Agent Icebeezy
Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I hope the train game is good too
could be they are holding back until christmas gifts are exchanged
Let's hope so. I've been a bit underwhelmed by this sale so far. Was hoping for a Sims 3 pack as they've done in the past with all expansions, but even that didn't show up, and I'm not paying £120 for everything.
Hoping for a good deal on Anno 2070 and Far Cry 3, don't let me down Ubisoft.

Have there been any crazy deals on Far Cry 3 perchance?
I'm still bummed I missed that Bethesda deal.
