The price reverted early. If you look at the game's page it doesn't mention being under a flash sale anymore.

Gamersgate with their pricing errors.

Goddamnit, I had it in my cart for hours but only just now remembered. Fuck this.
Gonny buy Endless Space instead.

I woke up after getting only four hours of sleep hoping that this had been fixed. Apparently not.

Desura had a winter sale? I thought they had random stuff on sale this season.
Bunch of skins for $7.50 (including a brand new one that came out recently and retails for $13) isn't a bad deal.
I'm almost thinking this should be in the OP.

Yeah it's a strange that they didn't fix that. It's their loss. I was prepared to double dip.
Hopefully they notice the mistake and put it back up again before the end of the sale.
I'm sure Core will come up in a future Humble Bundle, so I'll wait for 75% off if it doesn't. I also think it's the worst game of the series, which, while not bad, I haven't enjoyed as much as the rest. C'mon Flux, get on Steam already!
I wish I had as well. At least I already have it from Amazon, but it would be nice to have it directly in steam as well. Was it mentioned if it was a simple pricing mistake or if there was another problem?

Okay I'm sick of hearing about a few of these games but wondering how they actually are. Any opinions on the below?
Cave Story+
FTL - Faster Than Light
Orcs Must Die 2
Besides that, what are some other truly great games like the above??? I don't want something that "feels" homemade. I don't like rhythm games or games that make you buy stuff to complete it / do good.
I recently bought Dungeons of Dredmoore and am not really liking it. The controls are horrendous.

Or maybe it'll just be a Daily today
The flash timer expired too early.

It's for early access and a holiday pack. People stuck with Dota 2 invites will give them out for free.

Only because GOG simply had to blow through all of them in one day to preempt the Steam sale, which usually takes up all the interest of consumers.Speaking of repeats, gog has been repeating the same dailies for a week

And for only those specific titles and none of the others?

I somehow already own this game and have no idea how I stumbled upon it....
Pricing errors happen for other games too.

Chivalry again?

I think steam is trying to tell you all to buy Chivalry.
And they're right.

Voted for Freedom Force. Something different for a change.
It's supposed to be the deluxe Far Cry 3, I've read from some people that bought it said they've gotten the deluxe. It's even listed correctly in the UK.

Is $5.99 the lowest for Cthulu the Dark Corners of the Earth?? I haven't seen this title in any flash sale.

DURING a flash sale, ONLY for a specific group of games, and then not fixing it for several hours, despite its being a major flash sale error that suddenly occurred for no reason? Come on...
I think the far more plausible reason is that for some reason they decided to intentionally pull the sale and change the reduction in price back to the normal sale price.
Yeah. Keep on thinking crazy stuff.

That idea posted up there about an all-encompassing general purpose winter sale thread would be amazing. It would be hectic, chaotic and anarchic, but amazing nevertheless.
Thinking about it , looks pretty cool.
Been trying to hold out for 75% off but not looking like its going to happen.
Has is been 66% off yet ? or is 50 the highest?

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I love Cave Story+. Very oldschool, very retro. Lots of replayability if you go in for tough as nails challenge, but it's very pleasant and fun going through it on easy and choosing the easy paths.
With Dredmore, try using the arrow keys to move around. It's easier to spot and avoid traps, and not hitting traps goes a long way to not being dead. Finding a class build that works for you is pretty tough too. I found the...Psyker? Mentalist? Telepath? skill tree to be really swell. Healing, crowd control, good damage with pyrokinesis. Also look at the workshop for mods.
