Nope. If you're not buying it from steam directly, it's redeeming on origin.
Only the version sold in the Steam store is. All other versions from places like Amazon are the EA version.
Do you guys know anything about TripleTown? It's a mobile port obviously, which may be an immediate strike against it, yet it looks kind of interesting at the same time. I don't really play games on my phone, so I'm not up to speed on it.

Its not. The version of the game on Steam is special in that it was published by 38 studios itself, while all other version were published by EA.

There is, it begins on the 20th and it's a million times bigger and better (usually). Have fun and don't doget that you need some money to eat.
Yep!
And it's usually bigger than the Autumn sale. Sometimes, Valve adds some kind of mini-game. Last year, special achievements were added to games and completing them gave you lumps of coal. Once you had 7 lumps of coal, you could craft them for a chance of a free game or a coupon.
It was pretty awesome.
Fuck, too bad. Thanks for the quick answer guys.
What became of the grand prize winner who now owns every game on Steam anyways?
Despite Valve and... whichever US state Government now owns the KoA IP apparently reaching an agreement for continued sale, it's abundantly clear that the game won't be discounted, so I say buy it now on the cheap. In terms of content, if you're one for secondary quests and such, the base game alone is big.
Let's not forget that the odds of receiving a game and not a coupon were pretty low. Then once they ran out of games later in the sale, all crafting attempts resulted in Valve games/coupons. Amusingly enough - and unfortunately - Valve only acknowledged this after the fact, leading to a period where people crafted their coals and got pretty worthless stuff in return.
FTL maybe at 50% off. Hotline Miami probably not.

FTL is already cheaper on the developers site.

Maybe. Maybe u even get it for free (If they do such XMas Event again).
True. I did get Recettear and Counter Strike Source out of it though. I can't complain.
I don't think they expected the a huge amount of people who would craft stuff.
Hotline is one of the games you can use the Amazon $5 voucher for after Jan 1, so even if that's $5 off the base price it won't get any more expensive.
Doubt FTL will drop below 50% in the winter sale.

SPUF is dead at the moment.
Edit: Beaten, and with a better link. I shall hang my head in shame.

Is the new daily deal up yet? What is it? At work and can't access Steam >_<.
Do Steam games on sale for under $5 count?
Do Steam games on sale for under $5 count?
Defcon : Everybody Dies 75% off, $2.49 from $9.99
Anything $5 and under on Steam. So Hotline Miami would count if you won.
Here's what I got last year via JUST crafting and trading:
RAGE
Bulletstorm
Fallout 3 GOTY
Dead Space 2
Magicka
I had to work my ass off for it, though, because I spent _all day_ at my computer either installing shitty games, getting achievements, monitoring the price of coal, trading forums, etc.
Is it still 60 bucks? That's a lot for me :/Despite Valve and... whichever US state Government now owns the KoA IP apparently reaching an agreement for continued sale, it's abundantly clear that the game won't be discounted, so I say buy it now on the cheap.

The useful thing I got last year was Left 4 Dead 2. And like 2 pieces of coal that I had no use for.
What? Hotlime Miami and FTL are game of the year material.
That it is, hence my post.
KoA is self-published on Steam, so the game will only go on sale when somebody at the [applicable US state here] Government realises the potential of Steam sales. Which is to say, "probably never".Edit: On the bright'ish side, as least the game hasn't been pulled from Steam. But, yeah, given EA's tendency to put it on sale rather frequently, I'd again advise to just pick it up on the cheap where possible.

you can't put a price on gaben's love.
Congrats.
I got nothing but coal and coupons that were useless to me, which thus held as much value as coal. Coal, coal, coal!
Honestly I can't blame you. The odds were shit, and I just happened to luck out because my first craft got me Portal 2 (which was still worth something at the time).
Mmm... I don't know. Maybe Super Gabe could do something about it.That it is, hence my post.

Yes I can: the tears of our wallets on every Steam Sale. I've heard he collects them.
This is the point where you stop discriminating and just buy anything and everything. A rite of passage, if you will.
Super Gabe would have done something by now.

But I want KoA on steam
But I want KoA on steam
And you can have it on Steam... if you're willing to pay the requisite premium.
I paid full price for the DLC during the Summer Sale, fearing the game was to be pulled as a result of 38 Studios biting the dust. A bitter pill to swallow during a period where $25 can go much further than two expansions and and a weapon set.I can feel it, I resisted Crusader Kings 2 for 2 sales now but I won't hold out much longer when it's the third day of the sale and I haven't bought anything yet
All the names that came to mind at the time were taken and I grew frustrated, haha. I didn't expect the username to work, and now I'm stuck with it.
