Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V4! You can find the V1 thread (Nov 2010-July 2011) here, V2 thread (July 2011 - Feb 2012) here, and V3 thread (Feb-July 2012) here. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

This is a Wiki post. Please read this
We appreciate you helping keep this thread up to date. The sales change virtually every day so no one person has the time to update them all. If you notice a game is no longer on sale, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see a game is on sale, add it to the list. Make sure your changes match the thread's format! For example, every game that's on sale is part of an unordered list. When adding a game to the list, copy an existing line and update the link, title, and prices. That way, the format stays correct. Do not list percentages off! We list the original price and the sale price here. If you have any suggestions for major changes to the post/thread, PM me (EastX) about them.
for instructions on updating the thread.

Preorder Deals - Updated 8/9
Group Buys - Updated 8/14

Several multiplayer Steam games are available in 2-packs or 4-packs. These packs offer a discount over buying multiple copies of a game separately. We also maintain group buy trade threads for several games, so please use those threads if you're interested in setting up a group buy.

Free Stuff - Updated 4/3

There are several free games and mods on Steam. These are a few choice ones; you can find a full list here. Note that free games are not permanently attached to your Steam account like actual purchases would be. You'll need to manually download a game again from the website if you uninstall it.

Steam around CAG

If you are interested in joining the Steam CAG Community or participating in a trade or group buy with fellow Cheap Ass Gamers, please do so in the dedicated threads and not in the deal discussion thread. In the dedicated threads you will find CAGers with the same specialized interest who will be much quicker (and happier) to respond than in the Deals thread.

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

The CD Key is a serial number with a combination of 13, 18, or 25 letters and numbers - it can be found on a sticker inside your game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card.
The CD Key acts as your proof of purchase for the game - Steam Support may ask for it if you need to establish your ownership of an account. It is recommended that you keep your CD Key in a safe place to ensure the security of your account.

Well, scenario here: You buy it at Best Buy for $15 after the coupon. Play it on Origin (I know, not steam, but still) - and then if eventually either drops in MSRP on Steam to 39.99 or drops AND goes on sale. You would end up saving some money and still getting it on steam anyways.

Worst case scenario it drops off steam entirely because EA hates steam and Rhode Island doesn't know what they are doing. But you still get to play it and save money with Origin/Best Buy.
 
[quote name='houdinilogic']oh to hell with everything. gaben just trolled us hard.

edit: is it even worth sending support an email to try to get a partial refund? my guess is no, but has anyone tried it before?[/QUOTE]
I just sent a letter, we'll see if anything happens.

I mean what's the worst thing they say? No?
 
Anyway, despite Steam "trolling" people with the Jade Empire sale, I totally recommend that people pick it up. Great game. Took me a while to get past the beginning because I couldn't get into it, but once I got a bit farther, the game really, really surprised me. Bioware at it's finest IMO.
 
[quote name='Motoki']OH fuck YOU BIOWARE.

God damn it, this is the worst thing they have done since Dragon Age 2.[/QUOTE]

Well there were rumors that steam had a special surprise for us after the sale ended. I guess the rumors were true.
 
[quote name='Jaysonguy']I just sent a letter, we'll see if anything happens.

I mean what's the worst thing they say? No?[/QUOTE]

They'll probably just ignore it completely. Or be non responsive and give you a link to the Jade Empire page with a copy and paste of their "How to Buy a Game" FAQ.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Details please. Like why is the "blind" in parenthesis? Did you actually know the chick?


Also, rather than take this as an epic troll, I will try to consider this a sign of things to come - maybe the dailies and weeklies will actually start being better from now on?[/QUOTE]

Lol man, i got set up with someone I never met. We exchanged pictures and stuff over the phone. So it wasn't blind per say....but when I actually met her, I was wondering who she was and if she ate the girl I was supposed to be meeting.
 
3 important things about Jade Empire

1. Kinda crappy to do for the people (like myself) who bought it

2. The people who are getting it now shouldn't feel bad about us, I mean it's a 50% discount on 7.50, there's a 3.75 difference not 20 or 30

3. Honestly losing 3.75 is still better then having to pay 15 for it full price if it never went below full price again.

I'm not going to be all like "oh I'm ok paying more" because no one in their right mind should but I lost 3.75, that's not even enough for one copy of Coconut Queen now.
 
Wow, a big fuck you to Steam for Jade Empire. I just bought it literally a few hours ago. That's just not right...good on the people who stuck to their guns about it being too much at $7.50.
 
[quote name='TheLongshot']What this teaches me is that I should never buy a game for more than $5 on Steam.[/QUOTE]

Exactly- I've learned my lesson.

I didn't feel comfortable buying it for over $5 last night- should've trusted that feeling and passed. Never again will I make this mistake on an older game. Then only time I will purchase a game over $5 is if I'm going to be playing it immediately.
 
I'm not even going to make it through the thread to see the comments first - I just woke up, looked at the store all back to normal, looked to see what the daily deal might be, and laughed

Oh it was a real blind date. I thought you were talking about Dinner Date. :lol:
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']So what is Jade Empire about anyway?[/QUOTE]

It's sort of BioWare's take on those old martial-arts movies that used to come on the UHF channels at 2:00 in the afternoon. It's set in ancient China (the sort of ancient China that includes demons, ancestral spirits, and dragons) and is BioWare's first "action-RPG" (pre-Mass Effect). I played it many years ago (snagged the PC special edition on the cheap) and enjoyed it. The story and NPCs are good and it's a pretty uncommon setting. There's a "game plus" mode of sorts where you can restart the story with your character retaining all of his stats and abilities when you finish, but I found that so tough that I quit about 10-15 minutes in.

Whether you picked it up at $7.50 or $3.75, you'll probably enjoy it.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']They'll probably just ignore it completely. Or be non responsive and give you a link to the Jade Empire page with a copy and paste of their "How to Buy a Game" FAQ.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, that's the worst case scenario right there.

Might as well give it a shot.
 
[quote name='Motoki']Oh it was a real blind date. I thought you were talking about Dinner Date. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Speaking of dinner date. When I get home bgcq peeps are getting another couple shots at that gem.
 
%$&#. I said I was done, but now there's Jade Empire looking at me for $3.74 (I passed on $7.50 since I have a physical copy somewhere), and Last Remnant (steam) on greenmangaming for $3.00.

Why not.
 
[quote name='Drabelincoln']Speaking of dinner date. When I get home bgcq peeps are getting another couple shots at that gem.[/QUOTE]

Trying to spread the bad date experience to others eh? ;)
 
You know...

I LITERALLY just had the "sale" is over talk with the wife. I bought the only 2 DLCs I wanted from SR3 that I was missing. I tell her, that's it dear... sales over. I'm done spending money.

And then Steam puts Jade Empire under $5. You've got to be kidding me!!!! This lead to my wife laughing at my inability to not turn down such a good deal. (sigh) I think I preferred the look for Coconut Queen over this last look.

Thanks AFFA, looks damned near like Advanced Wars and I spent months playing that game (well 1 and 2)

For the Last Remnant check to see if you have any credits in your account. I had a $5 credit that I had forgot about.
 
Small haul for me this Steam sale. I'm trying to cut back and not buy anything I won't play immediately/that will go cheaper. Got Half-Life Complete, The Witcher 1, and The Binding of Isaac DLC, and gifted KOTOR to my brother.

Also, roflmao at the Jade Empire sale. Maybe I'll buy it!
 
man, i'm already overbudget but picked up Jade Empire.... even though I have a NIB sitting on my shelf that i got on discount for like a buck. But I'll never bother to install that, so maybe now i'll play it.

The idea of a martial arts RPG sounds amazing to me.

PS -- anyone remember the name of the website that used to be mentioned on cag quite a bit; they'd have big sales of a mix of pc/ps3/360 games? their ads would just be a huge grid of games on sale (think I got JE for like $1 and change). can't remember their name, wonder if they're still around.

Who are you and what have you done with Motoki. ;)

Thats right, turned your own question back on you. :D
 
Not really sale related but just thought I'd share.

Some guy on r/gaming gave out a bunch (thousands supposedly) of steam keys. He made a thread complaining about all the begging and pleading and stupidity he got from people wanting things...

Turns out the keys were stolen from a google docs Tony (from Amazon) posted for CAGs and neogaf.

I love reddit but some people can seriously be complete scumbags; I guess that goes for everywhere, not just reddit.

No problem, I bought the key off of BigSpoonyBard and then got the dreaded 'you already own this game on Steam' message when I tried to install it.

It's one of the 5 games I tried to buy this sale I already owned. Derp.

REMINDER: since i don't know how to do the fancy graphics:

What if I convinced you otherwise? Ask yourself, "How many similar games do I have in my Steam backlog?"

I've never played Kingdoms of Alamur, so I have no opinion on the game itself. However, I find the controversy surrounding it is quite sad and intriguing.

Isn't that talk just the worst I always lead in with,"Think about how much money we saved with this sale..." While thinking 'That I can use on other sales' muahaha :twisted:

Bought Jade Empire 2 hours ago and disappointed that there are no new games for you today? Miss out on any of a number of great indie games like Beat Hazard, Puzzle Kingdoms, or Bad Rats? Don't miss the IndieGala V bundle giveaway on Steamgifts!

 
[quote name='CapnO']Then only time I will purchase a game over $5 is if I'm going to be playing it immediately.[/QUOTE]
This.
I was really surprised how many of you were jumping on >$5 deals despite having a huge backlog. Now I'm looking rather on price drops then discounts, to buy games, which I resisted buying few days ago on further big sales. I'm sure If I had picked up e.g. New Vegas Ultimate, The Darkness II or Serious Sam 3 on latest summer sale I woudn't have played them before they hit magical $5 mark on Steam, because my library is overloaded even without them.
 
Just wanted to come in here and join the club by bitching about how I bought Jade Empire late last night since it looked like the price wouldn't be dropping. It's only a couple dollars but still... that's pretty damn lame on their part.
 
[quote name='Drabelincoln']Draekon you sir are made of excellence. Thank you.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='louiedog']Seconded.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='CapnO']:applause:[/QUOTE]

Thanks also from me Draekon. Awesome surprise.
 
Well this was m first steam sale. I joined steam in January 1st this year and didn't really have the chance to enjoy the winter sale. I bought The Binding of Isaac DLC, Torchlight and Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition for a total of 14.47 spent. Not Bad.

By the way is there a chance someone can invite me to the CAG steam group? I found it but it's invite only. My steam id is Yaeloso.

That is just horrible, Makes sense in a way I guess as there were hundreds of keys IIRC for SR3 DLC, Europa and Warband. and yet very few names that like 'signed' compared to how many keys there were.

Oh well like you said there is always scumbags; but it is just amazing how someone would take advantage of a awesome give away Tony did. Hopefully everyone on CAG got the games and keys they wanted from that list before hand.

The only reason I got it when it was over $5 was because it had been two years since it went on sale. Though, that is a poor excuse as you pointed out, my BL is huge and I will not be playing it any time soon. Lesson learned $5 on games I'm not playing immediately.
 
That SR3 thing stings a bit but I have to find my zen place and be happy with what I have. Besides, I wasn't interested in most of the DLC anyway so how upset do I want to let myself be over not having a hot dog costume?

Oooommmmm.....
