Daemonic Runner, Joust Quake:

I like the simple idea (run and stab) and aesthetics of this, but the game feel (action-reaction, audio, effects) leaves much to be desired.

It hit Steam, and Steam died.

It's alive now. Sort of.

I guess you'd want to gather them tokens for the sale coupon, but most of the awards are absolutely worthless even by previous sale standards. Stickers, emoticons and backgrounds you need to waste tokens on to get? Miss me with that shit.

An FPP-maze game with a ghost that starts chasing you if you take too long? I remember playing something like that back in the day. Can't remember the name though...

Last year they crashed too.
How come they're never prepared?

Hmmm.... The Evil Within 2 for just EUR 7,50.

Tempting. Worth it?

Yeah, starting a sale with a few hours delay between different regions would probably help

It's a better game than the first. Only watched an LP of it but it seemed like decent fun.

Really liked it. Sneaking around in the spooky town was the highlight. Great atmosphere.

So, you get nothing when buying from existing funds in your account, you only get tokens if you use external funds to buy or add to your wallet.

That's a new low for Valve.

Sorry Gabe, I prefer to use my PayPal to buy from G2A or other shady sites than your prestigious shop. At least there, maybe I'll find some decent prices.

Greed, the true meaning of Christmas according to Valve.

I think this one can be placed on induced demand - the more bandwith they provide, the more bandwith is used.

Tried accessing Steam for the sale - the front page KEEPS REFRESHING ITSELF, meaning I can't do shit.

Anything good? I would murder for a blobber.

You could give Cleve a pity purchase of Turd Exemplar...he's practically giving away his 'never will be discounted' gaem....

Grimrock 2?

Most of these deals are losers and/or exactly the same as the Black Friday sale less than a month ago. I guess the consolation is that if you spend $50-ish (depending on how many silly community activities you do to get tokens) you get a $5 coupon for another purchase.

Final Fantasy 15 seems to be at its lowest price ever at $17.49 at the moment, from browsing my wishlist, so I guess that's something.

you dont even get tokens for buying shit with your steam wallet, only for adding money to your steam wallet (or using non-steam wallet funds to buy games) it's fucking shit. added money to your steam wallet before the say? too bad for you.. what hte FUCK is valve's problem?

Only thing I've noticed a difference on is Crest, which is $3 instead of $5. And Hand of Fate 2 is $12 and I'm fairly sure it was higher in the Thanksgiving sale (Looked it up, it was $18 during that sale). Considering buying both though they're both fairly likely bundle targets so I may hold off.
