Yay, nothing interesting but Thief and I can resist that.

Will all the indie bundles be available and discounted again on the last day? Ticket to Ride looks so cool. But those damn DLCs.


HAHAHAHAHAH

Hehe. We can probably get you cast in Saints Row 4.

Looking at the Carpe Fulgur pack. I already own Recettear (which is excellent for only $5), thinking of getting Chantelise and Fortune Summoners.

I was considering that also, having played the hell out of Recettear.

If you buy a bundle that has a game in it you already own, does it automatically go into your gifts section to be traded?

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is only 25% off today, but Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity (a bit older) is 75% off (only $5). I may have to grab Trinity at that price.

I LOVED those games. Not sure how they hold up today, but the first Thief game was pretty revolutionary. I'm likely to bite on at least one of those.

All sequels/prequels to daily and flash deals get similar price treatments, except Saints Row 2, which I'd pick up for 3.74. Steam, get on the ball.

Unfortunately no. However, the individual games are discounted too, so you can just spend $7.50 on Fortune Summoners and Chantelise, rather than spending $12 on the whole bundle.

Only time you get a gift copy of a game you already own from a bundle is if it says so, otherwise when you go to pay it will come up with a warning saying you already own xxx and wont receive an additional copy

Ugh, I wanted to like the Recettear game after hearing so many good things about it, but the fact that it just plays in a window bothers me too much. I gave up after five minutes. I think I actually tried Chantelise though not Recettear.

There's not much for me to get so far, but the day is young! :D

EDIT:

To note, when I looked at the bundle with Chantelise and Recettear, the bundle itself was only a few cents cheaper than all games sold separately.

That's one of the annoying problems that I have with the mobile client. Sometimes it just won't load an image! So when it does that for a game title, I have no idea what's on sale until I click on it.

Oh shit, I forgot Thief 1 & 2 are on Steam now. I already own the first one on GOG. Purchased them both from Steam anyway. :D

Nice find. I was always interested in checking out Sins of a Solar Empire. Looks like Trinity is actually the original 2008 game plus two expansions, while Rebellion is a new game released last month.

Might have to bite on the original.

When looking at the Community home tab (the one Barfo was looking at) 690

I think that's fudged. The number in my community profile and the number in the drop-down above my actual library are totally different.

Library says I have 430 games. Community says I have 580. That's a pretty big difference.

The community one takes DLC into account and the Library one doesn't count expansions and counts demos currently installed. It is all goofy

My library one says 498
