Man, does valve even seem to know that other sites are having sales right now too? They are consistently being beat down by outside prices this time around.

Finally picking up KOTOR 2. The essential RPGs thread sold me on it even though the unfinished state of the game has always kept me from giving it a try. Loved the first one.

Are you sure it's the current XCOM or is it the older one?
Valve doesn't set/influence the sale prices as far as I'm aware.
Scribblenauts Unlimited for the best entry to the following contest. Contest ends in one hour.
I want you to make/draw a picture using any program with the following conditions. I want you to choose some character or enemy/NPC.
1) The character/enemy is from a video game
2) The character/enemy is exhibiting some trait people don't normally associate with them.
In other words, I want you to use the Scribblenauts format of adjective/noun in describing your video game character. Be sure to include the adjective and character name in your response.
So for example, you might make compassionate Kratos hugging someone instead of killing them.
This is in the spirit of Scribblenauts Unlimited, a game in which you use words to enact your imagination.
Go!

I was thinking the exact same thing...and then I irrationally insta-bought it after watching some youtube review. Then about an hour ago I jumped back on the store to insta-buy Half-Minute Hero after someone made some off-hand remark about it and suddenly thought, "I better jump on They Bleed Pixels too before it is too late", only to find that I had already bought it earlier.
That is probably the worst example I have of not remembering one of my purchases. Just noticed I had bought the Dungeon Siege Pack at some point too, I don't even remember it.

They have influence over sale prices I'm sure.
What is this bad rats game I keep hearing people talk about? I didn't even believe it was a real product until today. My steam name is novaxaru if anyone has a copy to sate my curiosity.

Amazon has a bundle with Spec Ops + both the Bioshock games for $9.99, in case anyone cares since Spec Ops is $10.19/66% off on Steam.

Speevy with the best contests as usual. Merry Christmas! I hope this doesn't get overlooked because of the Bad Rats Hype.
I doubt it. They can probably encourage certain prices but they don't make the final decision.
Yep, local with multiple pads.

These sales are intriguing but I've loaded up between Amazon, Gamefly and Steam so far. I'm waiting for Fallen Enchantress, FTL and Mark of the Ninja.
Everything else will have to wait for summer (or whenever the next sale is).

I assume it's extras from the Gamersgate price error where it stacked discounts.

Its just a shitty broken game. That you can never remove from your steam account.
It'll be $18 in January, so the credit would make it $13.

New page. I changed it to two hours to give people time.

I've already got one of those, Cricket Revolution.
Sure, but they don't seem to be aggressive like Amazon which they really don't need to. Games will sell either way.

They cant set prices. But they do encourage publishers to sell at lower prices. They provided thorough data that lowering prices could actually lead to more revenue. That's how this whole thing got rolling. Some publishers like Activision and Bethesda just dopnt seem to be able to grasp how it works.
Skyrim is #1 on the sales charts right now, and thats great. But at a $25 price point they would be making so much more money. They would have my money. This is for a game that still lists on Steam for $60 more than a year after it came out. It's ridiculous when you think about how much more money they could be making with a smarter price point.
No they don't. They cant set prices for someone elses product. They can only suggest prices which they've done in the past.
It is currently 15.29 on Gamefly, Sleeping Dogs, not Dark Souls
