That Dawn of War pack is so good I bought it again even though I already have two accounts with all of them. Can never have enough DOW.

really wish they made it more apparent what DLC an item has when looking at a list of items for a pack. found that many of them don't have dlc for individual titles also listed resulting in an exorbitant amount of clicking to check if they have it and whether you've bought it already.

Cool, somebody just gifted me a copy of Witcher2 but I never got an email for it. Odd...

And I agree on the DLC thing. I am not a fan on how they market and price them. Very confusing in some cases

I usually just add all DLC to cart and then click Remove for all DLC that Steam says that I already own.

Bit confused at what point does steam indicate which dlc/game you own; is it during check out? This is one thing I like about gog (and dislike about steam) is that when browsing steam does not indicate which games you own :(

It tells me on the game page, even for DLC. And if I'm still not sure, just go to Library, right click on game, click Properties, then the DLC tab.

Thinking of grabbing Ace of Spades for $4.99. Looks like good mindless fun. Anyone else get it?

I got it in a 4pack with some other people. It is quite a bit of fun from the little I've played. Basically minecraft FPS. Tunneling through mountains to make a secret route to the enemy base is more fun then it should be lol

Tried to buy a couple things on the total war flash sale, but kept getting an error that I already owned something even though nothing was flagged as such when I looked at the individual items; so seems one of the dlcs are fubared for it.

I guess there wasn't meant to be a good sale on Anno 2070. Only place to get a Steam key for it.

Saints Row The Third DLC $0.99-$4.99 each 50-75% off

If you got SR3 in the Humble Bundle, the $4.99 Season Pass DLC is worth the price for the Gangstas in Space, Genki Bowl and Trouble With Clones missions. You also get the Nyte Bladye car and cycle.

If you missed that, spend the $7.49 for SR3 The Full Package.
