That isnt even that bad 🙂
 
Wanted Rage, but only if it's 10€ or less. It's -66% but that still puts it at 17€. No thanks. I need a -80% on it or the base price (still 50€ D🙂 needs to drop.

Your heart will be broken if steam go out of business and shutdown their servers anytime soon :O
 
Shoot, was hoping MW3 won that vote. I missed out on day 1.

I want to buy MW3 at the sale price!! I just want to play the single player.

I bought AOE 3 collection just to have it on steam. (I own it on GFWL on an account I forget about 99% of the time, its the only game I own there)
 
3 days that i havent bought anything...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?!?

i didnt buy some sales waiting for a game i wanted mmore...the game didnt come and now i cant buy the other one lol

i missed MW3 and it didnt win again!, i missed Saints Row 3 and LoG :S
 
ok, i was feeling pretty bad about all the games i purchased. and then i saw some of the massive purchase lists from some of you guys and now i dont feel so bad. 😛

i'm a lightweight compared to some of you.

Impressive list!

I'd like to see a comparison of what you paid now versus what you would have paid for all of those with launch day MSRP.
 
We're half way through this Summer Sale and so far I'm under-whelmed.

This sale just hasn't had the same excitement as the Holiday Sale.

At least for me.

Come on Steam, change my opinion. Put at least ONE of the following on sale (and I mean a "real" sale ala daily deal, flash sale, etc.):

Dragon Age collection (Amazon just had it for $9.99...but I want it on Steam)
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Call of Duty Warchest (or just CoD 2...or hell ANY old-school CoD game for that matter)
Brothers in Arms (any...I'm not that picky).

Best part is, with the exception of 2-3 games I havent played any of them yet. However unless another hidden gem or 2 finds its way to the sale I think I have finished, just over $250. (enough for 4-5 new games on release day)
 
i would like to see some not-yet-release pre-order sale ... would totally buy a darksiders 2 preorder sale hahaha

its because they always put the same stuff on sale for the same prices, so you either have it already or they put stuff up you don't want.


i'm also kind of getting pissed that they keep putting up the same crap for the flash sales over and over. give us something different, goddamn it.
 
As far as Crysis goes, I just wanted the original plus Warhead. They were being sold individually for like $5.99. I'd like those two together for like $7.50 or less. OK, now I'm being a total cheapskate 😀 .

they've never done that as part of a major sale.

they occasionally do have some pre-order discounts, like 10-15%, on some games, but it will never be anything more than that.
