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.

I sent a Support ticket in asking for $3.75 credit to my Steam Wallet having bought Jade Empire: SE less than 24 hours before being a Daily Deal. Not expecting much but it can't hurt to ask. If it was $5 today it wouldn't bother me but $3.74? Should have just made it a flash deal during the sale.
 
[quote name='Motoki']Steamgifts is pretty bad about wanting credit and praise Contol V spammed Thank yous or getting pissy if they don't get it. I will thank the person if it's someone I know or if I have a particular comment to add anyway, but sorry I don't feel the need to post a generic Thank you along with 999 other people for some copy of railworks that some random guy and 800 other people posted to raise their contributer levels.



Pics or it didn't happen. And if it did there are probably some extenuating circumstances being taken out of context.

Sorry but that Unsteampowered site is notoriously anti-Steam biased so they are always finding stuff to go on a Euro rage about.

That gifting system exists to share games with your friends not to abuse and circumvent your own regional pricing systems because you don't like them. Do people do it all the time without problems? Yes. But if you get caught don't complain about it because it's not the way you are supposed to be using Steam.




I know and I did actually setup DA2 for Xpadder for as long as I could stand to play it. It actually worked better as a controller based game (I know, real shocker :roll:) since it is so action based and you only control one character at a time.

It still irks me in principal though.



Quoted for truth.



No it wouldn't. Seriously.

I spent a nice chunk of my own money to gift that game to people and don't get me wrong I was completely happy to do it, but they need to not pull shit like this with better deals than the big sale right after the big sale.

I actually almost bough an extra copy or two of Jade Empire to gift as a giveaway last night and I know some others actually did do it. Not cool. I realize it's the risk you always take but I don't think it is reasonable to expect a much better sale than the great big sale the very next day.

With all those flash repeats they couldn't squeeze Jade Empire in even once? Really? Come on now.



Take my admin rights away. Seriously. I am too much of a softee and it is getting out of control.

Also can I ask that people please don't post BGCQ giveaways here? It encourages beggars trying to get into the group. Can anyone post group announcements or just admins?

There's got to be a better way to announce the giveaways just to people in the group. If all else fails maybe an email list?

I feel like we need a 3rd even more private group. I fail at being an admin. Sorry. :cry:[/QUOTE]

Sometime before the next sale, I think we'll do a member review or something.
 
Whoa, Jade Empire at $3.74? Not only did they humor us and make Jade Empire the Daily Deal, but they also reduced it to its Winter 2009 sale price!

I'm so amazed and intrigued.

Ok, I created 2 Steamgift giveaways (just Magicka Collection, which it seems like everyone already has, and Warlock: Master of the Arcane). They end this evening.

Also, wanted to say thanks to all the everyone posting in the thread. I only just got back into PC gaming in May (finally got a new laptop that could actually play games), and this thread was a huge help to me getting at getting way more games than I should have (;)) at way less money than I could have spent :)bouncy:)

There's going to be some purging done :twisted:

But I agree, posting the giveaways here leads to a lot of those "ooh, me want win, me want join group" posts :baby:

On the one hand, the generosity here on CAG has always been very touching. :grouphug:

On the other hand, I think we all feel better when someone you at least recognize as having posted somewhat regularly (you know, maybe at least weekly) wins something. :whee: Because even if some of us have disagreements or differing opinions, :boxing::argue: , I think we all respect and appreciate all the regs who contribute.

And I get it, maybe some of youse guys don't want to be our e-friends or don't have the time to shoot the shit around here and only like to post during sales or even just check the prices, but if that's the case they shouldn't get too upset if we don't let them into our fort. :shame:

In conclusion, :puke: .

(blue = gaben, yellow = Jade Empire and Saint's Row early adopters)

Thanks for the generosity, are you the person who won my Trains vs. Zombies giveaway? I didn't recognize you at first, but then I checked and saw you actually owned Railworks 3 and played it so I was glad to see the DLC was going to get good use :)
 
Well played, EA. Wait until after a ton of customers bought Jade Empire at the slightly discounted price during the last day of the summer sale. Then, offer the game for less the day after the summer sale to scoop up the holdouts who balked at the price.

Any hurt feelings = less love for Steam.

I must win it, so as to know what all the Hula HOOPLA is all about.
 
I bought Jade Empire late last night before going to bed for 50%, since you know, it never goes on sale. And then I wake up this morning to see it's the Daily Deal.

That money could have gone towards Coconut Queen!

Fuuuuuu.

Hahaha, by that logic, I get major points off for pre-ordering Duke Nukem Forever at Direct2Drive for $40.

I guess I get points for at least grabbing a pre-order for less than the going rate, but, on the other hand, the game did drop to $24.99 on Steam a few weeks later.

Perhaps, it is true; I don't deserve the Succulent Fruits.
 
Alright, created my first SteamGift - AaaaaAAaaaaa for the Awesome. Should be open now, to members of the CAG Steam Group.

If someone can point me to the signature code, it'd be appreciated.

Thanks, and enjoy!

[quote name='jatan11t']Well, you win some, you lose some. Didnt buy SR:TT Franchise for $25 and waited to get it for $13. But bought TLR for $7. Well, one saved me more money at least.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's hard to predict prices. I passed on the SR:TT franchise pack when it was $25 because the DLC wasn't worth that much to me (and apparently THQ thought the same if that really wasn't a price mistake..). Bought The Last Remnant from gamersgate when they had it for 50% off, so I lost a bit from that, didn't think it'd end up 75% off anytime soon due to how rare sales were on it.

I'll be the first one to, and I quote: " :censored:fuck:bomb::wall::bs::twoguns:" if Arma II gets lower than what I bought it for in this sale. That was the highest one ($) I bought.
 
Can't believe how much cheaper Jade Empire got after the sale (I think someone from Valve is trolling this site).



I decided to host another giveaway for CAG steamgifts contributors. I'm sorry for leaving out the rest of the CAG, but would like to some how thank all CAG contributors specifically. I haven't won anything yet from that site, but hopefully this would please steamgifts deities in allowing me to win once for change. Giveaway open till 10:00pm.

I agree completely. The community has had "up's and down's" in the time I've been here. Nevertheless, even though this Summer Sale's quality has been debatable, it still produced the best I've ever seen from this group.

Kudos to the CAG's.
 
I'm looking to try one of the Paradox grand strategy games, are there any recommendations for the easiest to get into? Preferably one with a demo.
 
I'll admit, I loaded Steam to see what the DoTD was, laughed, and immediately came here to see the reaction.

It does suck for anyone who bought it on the last day, I almost did, but passed since I still have a sealed Xbox version... now i'm tempted to pick this up for a whole $3.75 difference...
 
I think I bought skyrim when I was drunk last night...I kinda wanted to buy it but I was gonna wait till around $25. Oh well, guess I own it now lol.
 
[quote name='hal']Gabe wins again.[/QUOTE]

Except that probably the majority of sales revenue for Jade Empire go into EA's coffers so they can use it to further plan their strategy for Origin world domination.
 
Jade Empire being cheaper today is kinda fucked up for anyone who bought it during the sale. Still can't blame steam to much when they have to get permission from the publisher. Also I don't even want to look at my purchases for the sale. Just going to focus on actually shrinking my back log between now and the winter sale so I don't develop an ulcer. ;)

I did this as well. And while I considered it, it's not a game I've really been interested, so despite the nice discount and the amusement that would go with picking it up, I think I'll pass.
 
[size=+2]I honestly should have posted this earlier, but please read the FAQ before submitting a giveaway on steamgifts.[/size]

http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/91wob/faqrules-and-guidelines

I've just gone through the 20+ pages that have sprouted up while I was sleeping and I've noticed quite a number of bundle keys showing up. Individual bundle keys are NOT ALLOWED. This rule is not really enforced now unless someone reports the giveaway, but the mods are working on a method that will ban/suspend any member with too many bundle-key looking giveaways. Just be warned, I would hate for any CAG to be suspended because he/she did not know about this rule.
 
Haha, I came back from watching The Dark Knight Rises and saw the new daily was Jade Empire at 75% off. I immediately started cackling my ass off as I purchased the game, reminiscing with the various posts about Jade Empire in this very thread lol.

Great giveaway. I think we should only post BGCQ giveaways on the Steam page as to not encourage begging/division.
 
Awesome, Jade Empire for $3.75. I don't see what you all are so angry about. I added Jade Empire to my wishlist with hopes it would go cheaper during the Summer Sale, it didn't, so I never bought it. And now it's $3.75 in daily sale. Huzzah! Winner!
