This is what Steam does best. The good ol' gotcha. Ask all the people who gave in and bought Jade Empire last sale only to have that *#&!@$# go on sale right after. It was hilarious to watch the cries of foulplay.

Any lists of games that I should buy that are under advertised, appreciated, rated? Usually see one ore more this time of the sale

Portal 2 and Counterstrike Derp have been on sale a bajillion times already. Also I'm bitter GMG ran out of Alpha BROtocol keys.

I actually did not get a beta invite yet. Does the (nominal) stuff that comes with the early access starter pack also come if I just eventually end up getting a beta invite?

What determines which threads get stickied?

Now, they've added Best Buy too. wth?

Yeah, it was 50% off before, weird that they are doing it for 75% off now, maybe it sold like dogshit at 50% off? I don't remember what the top seller list looked like when it was up.

Hmm 50% off for useless virtual crap or 75% off for useless virtual crap?

How about 100% off for useless virtual crap and then we'll talk.

Probably the economist told them it wasn't selling at 50 off.

Nope. It's exclooooooooooooooooooosive content!

I'm sure they dropped it to 75% because no one was buying it at 50% of course it's a nice slap in the face to those who were stupid enough to buy it at 50% off... or to pay at all.

I highly doubt that it's going to happen.

Looks like it's some sort of sponsored / paid sticky.

This site is 95% consoles and they don't give a shit about us

Nop, but the items are not worth anything at all. They are merely cosmetic and I believe most of them can be got for free just by playing.

If you want a beta invite, throw me a pm with your steam id

You know, it just occurred to me that the Sonic franchise pack made a return as a flash deal the other day and it was glitched (many of the games in the pack that were there when it was a daily weren't listed in the store page when it returned as a flash deal. Supposedly the pack still contained all the games, but the store page only listed half of them) for the entire run as a flash deal. They either were unable to fix it, or they didn't notice.

It's just possible that they wont fix the Quake discount either.

Only flash sale I'm interested in is NFS:HP for $5 but already have it on my 360 so not this time.

They should make cs:go 75%, not dota

They just don't care. Too busy selling copies of the Far Cry franchise to people who can't add.

I hope your kindness comes back to you. Good Sir.
Thank you very much.

KOTOR as a flash, etc. Probably also have dailies for Snapshot and Closure, too.

You're probably right, but there are a few things I haven't seen yet that I had expected:
Risen (1&2)
Gothic/Arcania
Heroes of Might & Magic

Anything else?

Thank you BernardoOne! I sent you a pm.

Fallout games haven't appeared yet. We might also see a return of Dragon Age as a daily. Possibly even Crusader Kings.

Couple of questions: Is Endless Space worth it?

Are there any other games like FTL on steam? I am so angry at this game but I can't stop playing it...

And how do people keep getting DOTA2 invites? I can't decide if I'm jealous or relieved I've never gotten one.
