It's not much different from thousands of people spending boatloads of money on MMOs
Steam has become a game itself.

I can't tell who the bigger loser is, this guy or the guy that is level 100 on the PSN.

True.

Sure he can. But he shouldnt whine about that he cant get a higher level after he went to level 16000 or what...
He knew the cards will be invalid today. He knew that there are usually no infinite badge levels...
You understand this world is unfair when a random person on Internet burn literally thousand of money on getting a stupid badge for no reason.

I know it sucks, but if he was ready to spend 13k on cards that doesn't give anything back, then it wouldn't matter if he lost everything for nothing
On another note, new dlcs released for a f2p game
Female dlcs are more expensive than male dlcs...
valve is your true hero, because of mobile auth and 14 days wait, many people couldn't sell any cards and the price held because of less cards on the market.
I gemified 30 something yesterday, 7 foils among those, for example.
oh boy... I forgot it releases so soon
More importantly, Umineko on Friday.

To you it's a stupid badge, to others it's could be really important.
If someone think a badge is important when the only thing you need to do in order to get it is burn money...yeah.
Anyway I got the real ending on Grimrock 2, still I'm missing a lot of things but I think it's ok, I can uninstall it now.

if that's really important to them they should loose all their money because their priorities are completely messed up.

So all people with OCD should not have money?

"Hey Honey. You have any idea where the money went that we saved up for the new kitchen and bathroom?"
"Yeah. I found something better to do with it?"
"What?"
"I raised my Steam-Level to 16.000. It only costs us 12.000$. What a deal!"
"WHAT?!"
I am more outraged that that guy has the nerve to blame Valve, not making any more levels than 16.000 on cards that were known to be invalid today.

See, that's why I like this guy! If it wasn't for people like him, we would be getting a cent or 2 on each card drop if we were lucky.
Sorry, but what gives you the right to claim another person's priorities are messed up.
Oh, wait. Someone spends their money differently than you. Their money = they can spend it as they wish.
Why are you talking about microtransactions, season passes etc?
How those fit the discussion?
I don't understand.

Age of Wonders III
Endless Legend
...would anyone like to convince me that I do/don't need to buy these before the sale ends. And in each case, how about the available DLC, by way of the Age of Wonders III Collection and Amplitude Endless Pack (I already own Endless Space)?
I do generally enjoy turn-based strategy, hence these being on my radar, though my previous time with the genre has mainly been with Civ and XCOM.
Oh, and The Banner Saga - worthwhile as a purchase given that I have the sequel on Xbox One (but haven't yet played it)?

This is why our understanding of mental disorders is so behind. Because people don't bother thinking for one second in another perspective that is not theirs.

I wonder if we get better sales after the sale.
Last Winter sale during the days after the sale a lot of games got better discounts, because they only run for one day or a few days.

Are there any cheap (I think there's like £6-£7 left in the steam wallet) games that are similar to Far Cry (so not open world, although that doesn't matter, but basically FPS/3rd person shooter/stealth games with large sprawling levels and multiple ways to complete a level)?
So far off the top of my head I have:
Far Cry 1, 2 and 3.
Crysis.
Splinter Cell and Chaos Theory.
The Hitman series minus the brand new one.
Project IGI 1 and 2.
Chrome.

AoW3 is great and the expansions only make it better. The best fantasy 4X on the market. If you like 4Xes I imagine you'll enjoy it a lot.
New Homefront is basically Far Cry.
Really most Ubisoft stuff these days.
There's some shared DNA with the Stalker series too.

The two new Wolfenstein games are $9.99 each but are exactly what you're looking for. You can play it shooter or you can play it stealth. Realistically, you'll have to play it both.
Also, Far Cry Blood Dragon if you don't already have it.

Oh, I forgot about Stalker. I have Shadow of Chernobyl already.
I'll have a look through UbiSoft's catalogue then, thanks.
I made that game, it's awesome.
Hello guys, I have a question that I would have asked in the Steam thread but since it's frozen until the Steam sale is over, please bear with me.
This is about authenticators and how they work.
I recently started using Battle.net mobile authenticator and since the set up phase I was never asked to use it when connecting to battle.net.
Is it normal ? Is the thing only used when the system detects you are connecting from a new location or is something wrong here ?
Now the Steam one. I was contemplating installing it too but I'm not too sure how it will work either. Is the little shit going to annoy me at each connection or again when the system detects a new location ?

I forgot today was a holiday. Looks like my money won't go through and I won't be able to pick up Clannad.
