[FireFly]

Down for me right now.

 

[elfinke]

Is steam down for anyone else? I was wanting to check out a few games but the site doesn't open >_<.

Yep, mobile app has carked it too. Maybe the Real Steam Winter Sale is about to begin. Pshaw.

 

[pock3tmonster]

I hope it's up and running before the Dawn of War franchise pack sale ends! :/

Jet Set Radio is 66% off at GMG, though according to their blog it was supposed to be 75% off, so you guys might want to wait a bit to see if the mistake was the blog or the current price (Edit: The main page also list the discount as 75%).

Regardless, great price, especially with the additional 30% off with the coupon (GMG30-DPLIM-DN831).

 

[RionaaM]

You will want Darkness 2 as soon as you start playing it. Great under appreciated game.

It has co-op, right? If anyone wants to play it sometime, add me on Steam! ID's my GAF username.

 

[kadab]

is steam offline?

 

[Rorschach]

is steam offline?

For me it is offline. And for all those people above.

 

[Vlodril]

Yep for me too. i have been trying to gift a game and i get an error.

 

[MRORANGE]

Welp it's over, steam is dead, better switch to origin.

 

[Minion101]

You guys broke steam.

 

[Gaspode_T]

Tony, get Amazon to make a digital game delivery service stat...you guys are easier to buy from anyway

 

[CambriaRising]

Welp it's over, steam is dead, better switch to origin.

Origin makes better games anyway.

 

[Xanathus]

Welp it's over, steam is dead, better switch to origin.

Origin is too mainstream, Uplay is where the hip cats are at.

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

Cloud saves won't sync either. Arse

Ultra rare mega awesome impromptu sale within a sale incoming?

 

[Dingotech]

I'm still waiting for a good Dishonored deal from Greenmangaming...

Didn't they have a ~$20 deal about a month ago, I felt like I was going to get at least that sort of sale during Xmas.

 

[Rorschach]

They're uploading Half Life 3. Seeing how the trend is for bigger and bigger installs, I'm guessing it's 1 terabyte.

 

[dk_]

Up again for me!

 

[Tizoc]

Store's back up, gonna go make some quick purchases~

 

[CambriaRising]

It kills me that not only has Borderlands 2 been on sale 4 times, but that it was voted for this last time.

 

[toddhunter]

Intentional or not, my heart just broke a little :|

Steam objective pays off again!

I've been looking for a good ~$25 deal on that game for a couple of days now, having missed the previous sales.

 

[Dingotech]

Just because I'm talking about it on another forum I'm going to double check.

The XCOM key for $25 at Amazon isn't region restricted in anyway is it?

Nope

 

[Dingotech]

Nope

Cheers, didn't think so.

 

[RionaaM]

It kills me that not only has Borderlands 2 been on sale 4 times, but that it was voted for this last time.

Again I ask: Which of the other 2 choices (Hitman Absolution and Darksiders 2) hadn't been on sale before? Don't complain about the winner, complain about the choices available.

 

[MessieurCouchon]

I'd rather see Hitman on sale, since it would match it's previous (one time) biggest discount. At this point Borderlands 2 should just be permanently put at $25 and out of sales repetition.

I'm complaining about you complaining about his complaining.

 

[Dingotech]

For what it's worth I voted for Borderlands 2....

Only because all the games available had been on sale and Borderlands 2 is my personal GOTY.

 

[pock3tmonster]

Did someone catch how much time was left on the DoW Franchise flash sale, before Steam died?

 

[GK86]

Did someone catch how much time was left on the DoW Franchise flash sale, before Steam died?

It should end in 2 hours and 40 minutes.

 

[dani_dc]

Seems like GMG Jet Set Radio deal is indeed 66% as the main page and the blog entry were both changed from 75% to 66%.

Train Simulator 2013 is 6.24€ on GamersGate

Steamworks.

Dammit, tropico 4 and this. I was done!

 

[theytookourjobz]

Anyone want a free Steam key for Indie Game: the Movie?

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I would like it.

PM'ed

Is Tropico 4: Modern Times strongly recommended along with the base game?

 

[RionaaM]

But would you really buy it there? Amazon had it for 20 bucks if I'm not mistaken, so there's zero reason to get it from Steam. I thought everyone knew by now that Steam's sales on newer games were pretty much a joke, compared to other DD services (Prototype 2 for $20 vs. P1+P2+DLC for $7.50 on Amazon, for example).

I'm complaining about you complaining about his complaining.

Sounds fair. Meta-meta complaining, I believe.

 

[GK86]

Yup.

seems like thats the only DLC recommended. trying to justify the purchase myself

GMG had the Professional addition for $25 plus $5off/$7back

 

[HoosTrax]

Can we expect the game selection and prices on the Amazon Editor's Choice ($5 credit eligible list) to stay the same the whole time? I think I own all of the Steam games I've even remotely interested in (i.e. everything that's not a sports game, DNF, or that farm game), other than TWD which isn't on sale.

As Tony said, games will be added within the month!

No, apparently there will be further sales during January and thus opportunities to use your coupons.

Dang, I was so sure I was done with the sale, well except for possibly the eXceed collection .

 

[Mavromatis]

Is Tropico 4: Modern Times strongly recommended along with the base game?

Yes it is. It is like a needed patch sold separately to make more money.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Caved and used one of my two Amazon keys on Kingdom of Amalur Complete for 9.99. Well done, Rhode Island. In your bid to maximize your revenue (and cut losses), you got nothing. Only a fool is going to pay 60 bucks for your lousy game when competing services are discounting the game by 80+ percent. Well, done.

Steam Wishlist -1.

 

[HoosTrax]

Is Tropico 4: Modern Times strongly recommended along with the base game?

Definitely. It adds a lengthy new campaign, along with new building types.

If you haven't realised yet it's because the ownership of the game transferred.

EA can still discount the game because they have the distribution rights, the Steam version is owned by some US state (Rode Island sp?) that couldn't know/careless about Steam sales.

I think that's the entire point of my post. Rhode Island is a fool and their stupid and greedy tactics are going to result in them getting zero return on that ownership.
