I like how hearth fire is 51% off shouldnt that be free b/c technically we pretty much already have it with mods. Its not like they can say its less buggy or anything

Once again, nothing for me today.

Day 5 of the Steam sale, and I've spent more on the GamersGate Bethesda screwup than all of my direct Steam purchases combined. Sad face :(

I at least got CoD 1,2 and UO. Figure $5.00 a pop is as low as it's ever going to get.

That's not entirely true. Tony has mentioned many times that he is negotiating a sale with a particular publisher and times that a publisher has backed out (Activision) or decided not to run a sale again (SE). Or that a sale was really popular so the publisher was excited to try a different bundle. They don't just buy a pile of keys at wholesale and sell them at a loss; they do much the same thing as Steam does in working out pricing with the publishers.

And gotten a lot more on a dollar for dollar basis, I'm sure.

so the ME franchise, can I gift ME1? Same with Alan Wake. I have AW American Nightmare

I got Endless Space, been waiting for a sale on that.

Steam doesn't allow you to gift out duplicates from bundles except in rare exceptions (mainly Valve bundles). The "extra" games are just lost.

Not sure about Alan Wake, but about ME; why don't you just buy them separately? For some odd reason it comes out cheaper that way.

I'm pretty much in the same situation. I talked myself into buying a copy of the DoW franchise pack (even thought I already own most of the games) and I also talked myself into buying the last few Tom Clancy games that I didn't already own. Total spent @ Steam Thus far, $24.95.

A couple more days like this and I'll talk myself into buying that simulator pack that Motoki mentioned on day one. The one with the Prison Tycoon games. lol.

I can always tell the dailies are underwhelming when I check in after an hour and there are only a couple new pages.

Back to playing KOA: R on Origin.

I've spent more on Steam by randomly buying cheap gifts for people the past few days than I've spent on purchases for myself (I think just DOW II).

To clarify, that's more a statement on Steam's sales than it is on my generosity.

Same here. I've actually not purchased a single thing for myself so far on Steam during this sale. Though I've gifted seven items to CAGs so far though.

By the way, does anybody here own a Remedy game? Can you check and see if the loyalty discount stacks with the sale price on Alan Wake?

I'm trying to decide whether or not the Bethesda bundle warrants more time and devotion than the LucasArts Adventure Pack or the Family Gaming Pack would; the latter collection would be a better buy if I didn't already own Puzzle Quest, realistically the best game in the bundle. At $5 apiece, if I only got one, LucasArts would obviously be the better choice...but they seem superfluous now that I have Hunted, DOOM 3, and Dishonored. Decisions...

I own American Nightmare. I'm not seeing any discount on Alan Wake.

I own Death Rally, and it doesn't apply the promotion. But they're now listed under separate publisher names (Remedy Entertainment and Remedy Entertainment Ltd.) which might have been the discount glitch fix from a few weeks ago. Anyone who owns American Nightmare could probably shed more light on it.

Oh OK. I figured that it probably wouldn't stack, but I have a copy of Death Rally in my inventory and I was wondering if I should add it to my library if I wanted to buy Alan Wake. Now I know not to bother (unless I just feel like playing Death Rally).

Thanks guys.

Same question. I have AW:AN and I don't see anything applied to AW:vanilla or the franchise.
