$20000 value!

 

[gorcorps]

Didn't get too much. Quite a few indie games and Batman DLC really. I can't even figure out how to use the Batman DLC though... I start the challenge maps and I still only have a choice between batman and Catwoman.

Contest prize hasn't been awarded yet. You are seeing the account of a valve employee.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I got away with a fairly inexpesive list this year, though my goal was to buy no games at all.

Rage
Dues Ex: Human Revolution
X super Box (X2, X3, etc)
Killing Floor: Steampunk character Pack 2

Only picked up Portal 2 this year. It's all I really am going to have the time for too. Still have plenty of hours of gaming to get through (New Vegas, STALKER, Vampire: The Masquerade, etc, etc).

 

[IGemini]

Only got away with New Vegas and Bastion this year...it's just as well, I have games picked up from the sale two years ago I STILL haven't played yet. :$

 

[Imp]

Got:

Nothing

Got everything I wanted on/around release day thia year. I cleared my wish list during last year's sale. Sigh...

I wish I could say that. My wish list only shrank by about 3 games. Got a lot of games that weren't on the list, added a bunch too.

 

[Zorander]

Time to stop regretting what games I didn't get during the sale and start playing the ones I did get. :thumbsup:

Please tell me if skipping Skyrim and waiting for it to get even cheaper was a wise move...

 

[Dankk]

A perfectly acceptable move. It will be even cheaper the next time it's on sale, and it will be less buggy after more patches. More power to you.

For those who were curious, this is the kid who won the grand prize of every game available on Steam.

Yeah... will most likely go to waste.

Fun fact: Looking at my Steam library, I have ~115 Steam games installed, which take up a total of about ~400GB. If you want to do some really rough math, there's 2,203 games available on Steam; 2,203 divided by 115 is about 20, and 20 multiplied by 400GB is 8000GB.

So, a ballpark estimate of space required would be around 8 terabytes. I don't even want to think about how much time that would take to download.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Scored:
Terraria
Bastion
Spacechem
Quake 4
Hard Reset
E.Y.E
RAGE

GOG: Icewind Dale 2

 

[KaOTiK]

I'd be happy just winning the top 10 from my wishlist....

The person who won the grand prize....ugh. Looks like it will go to waste imo.

Im assuming the majority of your games are real games and not indie games, but I would have to say atleast half the games on steam are indie or dlc content. Most of those games are under 200mb so Id wager the size is closer 3-4tb. But that is a long ass time for me since I only have 3mbps, I would be dling for atleast 100 days straight :O

Hahah true. I have a pretty good mix of AAA blockbusters and indie games installed, and I figured anything over ~100 titles was a decent enough sample size to make a guesstimate.

Thanks for making me feel a little better about my internet. I think of 12mbps being mediocre compared to what some people have, but at the same time, there are lots of people who would appreciate having that speed.

 

[KaOTiK]

272 games installed (plus various DLC for some)
Steam folder size is 844GB

I have a large mix of AAA, Indie, to middle of the road games installed
