As if steam people needed even less of an incentive to buy games at non-sale prices.

pretty much. im a cheapskate who just waits for sales like many of you. kinda feel bad for devs tho.

 

[luffeN]

Steam + Daily Deals + Cafe = One Console Future, kthxbye

 

[French]

I'm buying a new PC tomorrow.

And Steam announces this.

Is my wallet already dead ?

PC gaming #WINNING!

 

[The Elite]

So is this the death of Weekly and Weekend deals? Or will the daily deals run Monday through Friday with a single deal for the Weekend.

 

[RealMeat]

There goes any hope I had of getting through my backlog. Good move on Valve's part, will get people to log in every day.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

When is Vampire the Masquerade going to show up? Gentlemen, place your bets

 

[GDJustin]

I've been expecting an announcement like this for a while, actually. With "midweek" deals that ran Tues - Thurs, and "weekend" deals that ran Thurs - Mon, plus other special promotions, Steam has pretty much had constant sales for a while now.

Hopefully we can still expect big Summer / Winter sales.

 

[Atomski]

Ugh this will be the death of me.

 

[iNvid02]

sounds like steam might actually become competitive on pricing again against UK retail.

 

[Prophet Steve]

I saw it yeah.

I'm so afraid.

When have the summer sales usually started?

 

[Credo]

I hate you, Valve.

Spoiler

I take it back. I love you, Valve.

I think the last one was either right at the end of June/early July through Independence day and maybe a day or two after.

 

[DownLoad]

My wallet finally fell apart on me after many years of service this morning... Then I read this thread and figured out why.

R.I.P. my friend.... R.I.P.

 

[Phantast2k]

Give me free games already!

cheers mate

 

[wwm0nkey]

Is there a way to do direct deposit right to Steam? :lol

 

[metareferential]

Oh God, will Gabe ever stop trolling us? There's even a countdown on the sale.

<3 Valve.

 

[DieH@rd]

I hate you, Valve.

Spoiler

I still hate them. I have no moneyz right now. Hopefully games that interest me will show up later.

 

[Salaadin]

cheers mate

[NewFresh]

NO!

I STILL HAVE UNPLAYED GAMES FROM CHRISTMAS










Who am I kidding? We will all give Gabe our money

 

[Teknoman]

You thought it was over.

You thought it was safe till Christmas.

You thought wrong.

I think you know the answer already

 

[StuBurns]

There aren't many PC games I care about, but if this means CS:S is more likely to come up sooner in the sales, awesome.

 

[nubbe]

I need a second job

 

[Luigi87]

I've thought of many ways to respond to this... but I'll just go with a simple I'm screwed.

 

[heyf00L]

This is bad. I have backlogs in my backlog.

 

[Sir Garbageman]

I'm curious about this too.

And I expect a lot more posts in this thread over the next few weeks:

Is this the part where we ask for Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines?

What´s up with this Bloodlines on sale meme? I´ve seen it quite a bit.

Spoiler

I have a physical copy from launch, bitches.

Games I want to have on sale/steam

-Jagged Alliance 2 and all it´s various forms (I have like 3 different copies of Vanilla JA2, but with disks missing, not running properly on Vista etc)
-Prince of Persia 2008
-Medieval TW 1+2 pack
-Silent Storm
-Dawn of War 2 Complete
-Fallout New Vegas


And tons of other stuff. Just make it competitive with UK retail sales madness for me in Germany. Waiting for games to arrive blows.


PS: I hate that pc gaming is dead =(

 

[Drkirby]

This is bad. I have backlogs in my backlog.

We need to go deeper.

 

[Phife Dawg]

Also, developers and Valve have said that game sales increase for a period after sale prices. Word of mouth is a powerful thing.

Good point.

sounds like steam might actually become competitive on pricing again against UK retail.

I seriously doubt it, at least for us peeps from the mainland. It's OK though if it's just a couple of EUR for the convenience factor.

 

[TheExodu5]

Didn't Bloodlines go on sale for $10 like 3 years ago? I seem to recall buying it at that price...

 

[Billen]

Fuck you Valve. My wallet can't take this shit.

 

[Curufinwe]

There aren't many PC games I care about, but if this means CS:S is more likely to come up sooner in the sales, awesome.

I always think I should get that, even though I would get utterly destroyed and probably have little to no fun. It just seems weird to own CS, CS: Zero, but not CS: Source.

I think direct2drive had it on sale for that price about three weeks ago.

 

[nextgeneration]

Sweet. I just beat Crysis 2 a couple days ago, so I need something new to play.

The game has only been on sale maybe once or twice in Steams existence. So many of us want it yet none of us want to buy it unless its on sale. Its kind of dumb when you think about it.

I actually got it from D2D a few weeks ago, solid game. I dont have to camp Steam sales for it now.

HAHA!

Yeah, I wish it would just go on sale so the damn gaf meme dies, it is at the point where people are repeating it to just repeat it. It will go on sale and like 4 people will buy it.

 

[someguyinahat]

Apparently it's only gone on sale once since launch, and that was years ago.

Edit: beaten badly.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

great news

 

[Loxley]

Oh god. My wallet. It screams.

Yep.

 

[Palette Swap]

I realized I was addicted to these sales last week when I activated data roaming on my phone just to check the mid-week deal. I was on vacation in Italy.

 

[Corto]

There goes my retirement!

 

[DeathIsTheEnd]

I am a student and thus I shall now have no food.

 

[Goro Majima]

This is not good for my compulsive steam buying habits.

 

[Binabik15]

Okay, 20€ for a game like Bloodlines really is highway robbery. Wait, what

I should replay Redemption and finish Bloodlines. My pc back then took ages to load. Go into house *one minute later* walk around for a minute or two, go outside *load another minute*.
