Wanted to buy rimworld, but it's not on sale :cry:
So, Outward, Predestination and Heretic Operative - any of these worth buying?
Rimworld never goes on sale AFAIK.
Yeah, isthereanydeal says $30 is the lowest ever.
Kaethar ... buy Rimworld anyway. It'll be way better than some 6 trashy games you buy for $5 each.

if you'd put that amount of work and effort in your job, you wouldn't need discounts to buy games...
It's understandable. When I visited Israel I spent 10 hours haggling with a shopkeeper to get 10% discount for a bottle of water.

Grim Dawn expansions could have been at least 60% off.

Not much to buy from my wishlist except that to be honest.

I just grabbed a few cheap wishlist items.







Thinking of finally grabbing the first Danganronpa, but shit, I have enough "A"-interest games queued to last me right now.

what's the most efficient way to earn vouchers? cheevos? or just idling on any game you've already earned cheevos for?

I'm downloading several games in which I have lots of achievements, you need to play it for 30 min to unlock it for points.

So wait... the odometer resets to 100 every day? And if I want to boost it up again, I have to make purchases every day?

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen.

I think you need to have those games installed before they are seen on the race screen.

It should be 200 today, 300 tomorrow etc. That's what I got from the "rules".

Anyway, the whole thing is a mess, I wonder why they bother, just slap the discounts and call it a sale.

Valve fucked this up so badly. I got only 2249 PTS, although it says that I was suppose to receive 4000 for my previous purchases + whatever left from Lunar sale + 100.

Apparently, someone got 0 while others got a negative amount of tokens. I don't know how is that possible, but it is.

Game seems bugged, still says I have 100 capacity and it's day 2, plus I bought a bunch of games.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
I don’t get this STEAM sale. Points, boosts and other crap. Oh well, I’m not planning to buy anything in this sale.

It's another free game for people who already like games, that generates a lot of interest and therefore revenue. Not to mention it's a nice boost to Valve's reputation as a playful, friendly company.

Look, even in this thread we have prestigious Codexers pouring time, energy, and $ into getting good at whatever the hell this is. Now multiply that by the stupidity, boredom, and susceptibility of 3 billion "average gamers". $$$$$$$

I bought three titles, the new DLC for Don't Starve, an interesting game called Hyperspace Delivery Service (that I've yet to try out) and then the early access title Dungeon of Dragon Knight, which is a clear Legend of Grimrock rip-off. I gave that a short go, but came across this interesting bug where I climbed down a ladder, tried to turn around and somehow casually drifted out of the map. So yeah, work in progress, but looks and feels good so far.

And I only got 100 pts for Day 2 of the race, even though I'm supposed to get 200.

I feel compelled to drop this here as it's the best thing you can play in this day and age that is not Dungeon Keeper 1/2 and I can't stop the urge to shill

Your odometer resets every day (As in, if your maximum was 5,000, you reached that, you "Spent" that, you couldn't climb back to 5,000 until the next day)

Seriously, I don't think that the odometer/capacity will reset, it would be too generous from Valve.
Looks like that's the case, even though under the rules they specifically say "Hey bro you can increase your capacity but there's no way to decrease your capacity". In fact they ONLY mention growing your capacity, and I went from 7,400 capacity yesterday to 1,300 today. Even though your boost meter is supposed to increase by 100 every day of the sale, too.

Looks like it's the nightmare scenario and Gaben got me. :dance:

Nothing from my wishlist got a decent discount, nor am I in hurry for anything.
I've bought even stuff at full price when I was, but, right now, I am not.

So I guess I'll skip this sale too.
Unless my fellow Codexers manage to highlight something that's actually worth it.
