I was convinced Fall of Cybertron wouldn't go on sale, so I bought it from Amazon and there it is for $9.99 on Steam! Oh well, atleast it was only $12

Hey guys I'm having problems with steam while the sale is currently populating the servers, and nerds worldwide are hitting F5 as fast as they can

Do you think something's wrong with steam or is is just me

I have the same problem, too! I think I might finally fully switch to the Win 10 store. Had no such problems like that so far there!

Will take a closer look later. Really want to dive in for PUBG. But looks like it hasn't had a decent discount and money's tight this month.

Hopefully I find a couple of gems.

Why did PayPal delete their tweet?

Is this UK only?
 
I think a lot of developers put out patches today hoping that Steam would keep the "recently updated" category on the home page. It's a really bad thing that developers are holding back patches to garner visibility.
 
Eh, The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is only 75% off, I was hoping it would be 90% off again, because it was 90% off on GOG during their sale.

DreadOut is fine, but Keepers of the Dark is kinda bad, it's missing the B-Movie feeling by removing most NPC's and the gameplay by itself is too janky to carry the game.

Eh, I think the gameplay holds up well for the most part, and KotD has a interesting cast of ghosts to fight still, despite a few being really annoying.

I think the setup is neat too, with a hub and going into different realms to face one or two particular ghosts.

Turok | $5 | 75% off
Crypt of the NecroDancer | $3 | 80% off
Alpha Protocol | $5 | 66% off
Condemned | $ 4.5 | 70% off
Abzu | $6 | 70% off
Doom 3 BFG | $5 | 75% off
Sudeki | $3 | 50% off
MX vs. ATV Reflex | $5 | 75% off
Sonic Adventure 2 | $2.50 | 75% off

Total: $39

Looks like I'm done.

Too late probably but don't buy Doom 3 BFG edition just buy Doom 3 and the expansion alone. BFG sucks it is unmoddable, actually has worse graphics than Doom 3 somehow and also is much easier.

btw I just want to mention I dislike every single one of you people who voted against Ikaruga a few years back to get it to a 75% off discount. (I think something stupid like fallout new vegas won which had been on sale for the price it was going on flash sale for multiple times)

been waiting years.... and it's still stuck at a 50% off discount :/
I shall forever hold out for 75% off and continue to hold a grudge :/

So are these all the games that are on sale or will others go on sale later in the week?

as it has been for a while now.
once pricing issues get resolved in the first few hours those will be the prices for the sale the whole time.
thus there is very little reason to care about the steam sale beyond looking at the prices once.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Really surprised that Non-morrowind Elder Scrolls Online stuff isn't on sale. I was expecting to see the Gold edition for $20-30, but it's at the full $60.

Kinda of a weird thing to bank on when Steam's big sales rework the main page so much.

e.g. I went from having maybe ten games on the store page (plus lots of empty space), to one completely filled with them.
 
Man, there are loads of games on my wishlist that aren't even on sale. And most of the deals that do exist suck.

Steam sales just ain't what they used to be. I still miss the Daily Deals/Flash Sales... those were the shit.

Yeaaahh...don´t know why I´m always so excited to catch the sales right when it starts. I´ve been through enough of these to know how it works. Well, at least I can see the store page...partially..maybe.

Prices are being updated right now. Once they are all updated (in a couple of hours or maybe tomorrow) those will be all the sales.

Right now it's only the moment for taking advantage of pricing mistakes, if any.
