They were discounted when it was a voteddeal but not when it was a daily. I'm hoping they come up as a repeat. Luckily a friend gifted me the Season Pass but now I want the Mechmancerbut thanks! Missed GMG Season Pass deal...
I know the community voted it but seriously, Valve should have never even put it up as a choice in the 1st place. There's so many games they can be discounting even further and they keep on repeating...
The game is still in closed beta, and the Holiday Pack on offer affords you access to the beta, as well as some in-game items; but there are a deluge of standard invites on offer that render this cost irrelevant*.
* Unless you care for such things.
Edit: b10.

I am not sure but I think something like this.
But I will pass because I won't be able to play anytime soon. :'(
I need something cleared up, LOL is bigger than Dota 2 though right in terms of players?
Oooh Fable...

Probably going to have to bite on Alan Wake this time.

Terraria still isn't 75% off. Well, at least Deus Ex: HR is a good price.
Yes, easily.
It's also been out longer and is available to everyone, though there are plenty of folks who will tell you that they like Dota 2 better.
I have no opinion either way.
You know what's a surprisingly interesting game?
Faerie Solitaire.
Yes, but you have to keep in mind that Dota 2 is in closed beta and isn't yet available in China.
Lol Yeah I actually have it. Got it when it was free for a ill bit on Steam. My GF loves the game also. Lol
Oh well, thank God that dot helped me up with Alan Wake, one less thing to worry about.
Yeah almost every day it's swapped over, one of the windows doesn't show up. Hooray for hover text!
For those new to Alan Wake, you should watch Twin Peaks either beforehand or thereafter.

It's currently part of the humble bundle. Why would anyone buy it?

And now I've already changed my mind on Alan Wake. Played through the first one on 360 and while I dug the atmosphere, the gameplay was super repetitive and the enemy dialogue was too goofy for my tastes. Haven't played American Nightmare so I may just get that one standalone. Not sure. I did add more funds to my wallet but it's the last stretch of cash I could throw in so now I'm being even more picky than I was before.
Really want a discount on Silent Hill.

Because the vanilla game is radically different from the one+DLC. I won't activate a copy with the DLC.
Even for people who have no interest in Wake, that's just good advice.
True, but experiencing either and involving oneself in the other results in a greater appreciation for the source material.

Deals suck big time.
And a couple best of from The Twilight Zone for those who want to play Alan Wake's American Nightmare, knowing that context and grasping the references really made it a lot more enjoyable.

No, if someone want Isaac + DLC quote this post and i send a key
Ah didn't know. Don't follow the humble bundles, well buy it there.
Funnily it was ages ago on a Games for Windows promotion. What a right pain though is GFWL very rarely if ever have a sale on dlc for any game not just Fable so having Traitors Keep and the Understone Quest dangled in front of my face is a right pain. Whats more with Steam is that if you dont have the game in your library then you can't buy any dlc or have it gifted to you even though it's just keys to enter into GFWL. I think old age and having a huge Steam backlog has turned me into a rather cynical git.

I am surprised at how, for the first time, all the buying I did during the Autumn Sale wasn't surpassed one single time by any of the Steam Holiday sales. Previously, I actually would wait to buy things knowing that they would definitely get bigger discounts 3 weeks later. I threw caution to the wind this time though, because I missed the Summer Sale, and actually came out better in some cases than I would have had I waited.
I think it safe to say that my money will be going towards more GOG purchases.

It's the recycling of the deals. Also Dota 2 early access >_>
I said the same thing last year, but then, circa Summer Sale 2012, I began buying stuff simply because my account lacked it.

It was in the Summer sale for $2.49.

Fable 3 is a 1.5-year-old game and it's still $49.99 regular price. Ha.
At least DotA 2 is now 75% instead of 50%!
