Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V6! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

With the V6 Thread, we're trying a slight formatting change. We used to list every possible Steam deal in the OP, but they change too frequently for anyone to keep up with (even in the Wiki format). So now, we'll leave regular minor sales out of the OP. This post will keep track of major sales (Winter sale, etc.), Steam deals available through other sellers (like Amazon), Preorder deals, and Group Buys.

I would still greatly appreciate help from you folks at home in keeping this smaller-scale OP up-to-date. This is a Wiki post so anyone can contribute. Wiki instructions:
Thanks for your help! If you notice a sale has ended, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see something does need to be added, then kindly 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.

Steam Sales - Updated 1/22


CAG Threads Featuring Steam Games on Sale Elsewhere - Updated 1/9


Preorder Deals - Updated 1/10
Group Buy Deals - Updated 1/9/13
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 - List needs updating with F2P games!
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.

Past Special Sales

Visit www.steamgamesales.com to check previous sale prices on Steam games. We do keep track of some older sales here though:

Steam Retail Key List

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

Steam's explanation and list of Steam-activatable keys

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.

Other Keys that can be redeemed on Steam (CAG tested & verified)

[quote name='electricsleep']Anyone think there's a chance the base price of M&B: Warband will drop in the next 6 to 12 months? I want to pick it up but I won't get to it for a while. I'm tempted to buy it but better judgement says I should wait it out.[/QUOTE]


Drop to what? $2.50? Already pretty cheap at $5 now. Believe I got it for $7.50 a year or so ago. It's pretty much the meat of the M&B collection and I doubt it'll drop significantly in price. The other stuff not so much which is why you see it only cost an additional $3ish over and above Warband alone.

No, it will be 75% off or $4.99 USD during every major sale event for the next year, at least. TaleWorlds likes their prices.
 
Is Warband the best of the series? I got it free from Tony ages ago... Decided to install it today.

Any mods I should look up first? Maybe some that make the faces look less like potatoes as I've heard?
 
[quote name='chapnis']Dammit, I voted for FF, was gonna pick it up for 1.24. The Steam community sucks.[/QUOTE]

Poor Freedom Force, Really great game though played 1 this year and loved it despite not being into comics at all. Still easily worth the 3.50 or so for the freedom pack despite not winning the sale.
 
[quote name='The End']I've been afraid to ask that very same question just in case it's him and I'd be insulting him.[/QUOTE]


Don't forget that you can search using pictures on google. I have used it a lot of times with people's avatars.
 
[quote name='plft']Anything like this for firefox so I can get mine updating when you push new releases.[/QUOTE]

I'll look into it. I think publishing extensions in the firefox repository does this, but I've never set one up (yet)!

Cool, I'll probably pick it up now then.
 
I saw from my Steam feed a handful of you bought Hero Academy. Feel free to start a game with me and let's play!

Edit: Looks like my Steam card in my sig broke, I'll have to grab a new one.
 
[quote name='Rerujnoc']Don't forget that you can search using pictures on google. I have used it a lot of times with people's avatars.[/QUOTE]

You can? I did not know that until now. But I now see the pic thing in the search bar.

How long have you been able to do that?
 
[quote name='chapnis']Dammit, I voted for FF, was gonna pick it up for 1.24. The Steam community sucks.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, bummed it didn't win the vote. Like someone else said, the others have been on sale for that price many times. Maybe it will be in a flash sale.

I see it as saving a few bucks at least so with a large backlog, I can continue to wait.
 
[quote name='Idiotekque']Every time I see Doom BFG I think Doom Big fucking Deal.[/QUOTE]


Big Fraggin Deal.

[quote name='The End']You can? I did not know that until now. But I now see the pic thing in the search bar.

Years.

Thanks for the fast response, I look forward to it.

[quote name='Mooby']Oh well, Steam sale has ended![/QUOTE]
Here as well.
 
[quote name='argyle']I've always been curious about From Dust, but I heard it has some issues on the PC. Any recommendations on that one?[/QUOTE]
had my eye on that one since before it came out
 
[quote name='carl7117']cities xl was looking interesting until i saw the metacritic score[/QUOTE]

Cities XL actually isn't a bad game. I picked it up in the Summer Sale and enjoyed it. Its probably not as clean and sharp as SimCity but a decent game nonetheless.
