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 actually did it. I caught up with the thread.

Glad to see that most of us are voting for Ys in the current poll. I did the same, figuring that if it comes up again, I'll go ahead and get it this time around rather than waiting for the next sale. Then again, this may work against me since I doubt I'd get to playing it by then.

I should probably change my sig to remove the dead drawing. Still feeling generous. Maybe I'll make a new one for my extra Scratches key. Yes/no?

I think Sophita was interested in scratches. Good adventure game so I think you would get some entries.
 
Eh, guess I'm not getting Payday as my request for friend er... "requests" went unheard. I don't have a large steam friends list, so my purchase of that game would have depended heavily on being able to play with nice cags. Ah well.
 
I voted Ys as well even though I don't plan to buy it because it seemed like a lot of people wanted it on the forums. Tomorrow is the last day of the sale correct? (I'm hoping dragon age orgins will repeat). And definitely lol at people who bout arma 2 before today (still expensive though). That rule never buy anything unless its a daily I learned 2 years ago from CAG seems to be holding up pretty well.
 
Not sure if I hope there are good deals tomorrow or not. If there isn't I can pick up a lot of cheap things as a last day purchase.

In a landslide victory of 1:0, it has been decided in favor of my putting up a drawing for Scratches: Director's Cut. Have at it.

Sorry man, 21 of my CAG friends own it so there are people there. I've been too busy responding to PMs the last few days to actually add any game play friends, but it is a great game, even in solo mode.

Once you great a giveaway, you click on the Signature tab under the description and it gives you the codes.

So I heard Scratches isn't to bad horror wise, but how is Dark Fall: lost souls? On the scary level?

[quote name='omnicious']How exactly are points earned on steamgifts?[/QUOTE]

Everytime a game is posted you get 10% IIRC of the point value added to your account. Even if your not logged on, so it goes up pretty fast. I had more points then I could spend when steam gifts was being overwhelmed by those 72point train packs =p

sorry about the sig, still can not have images yet :(
 
[quote name='omnicious']How exactly are points earned on steamgifts?[/QUOTE]

You get 5% of the dollar value every time someone lists something new. So if someone lists a game that's normally worth $100, you get 5 points. It used to be 10% before all the young whipper-snappers got their accounts approved...
 
Grabbed Arma II and DoW 1 Gold Edition. Hoping YS gets the flash deal so I can fucking buy it so my friends shut up about me not playing it :lol:.

I was going to wait to get YS: Origin, I really was, but I got friends saying how good it is, and well I can't say no to that, lol.
 
I want Garry's Mod but I couldn't care less about CS:S. I noticed that GM is bundled with CS:S. I already have HL2 so is there any particular reason I would need CS:S?
 
[quote name='wuxbustah8']Does anyone have a review of Universe Sandbox?[/QUOTE]

Summary from previous posters: It's a simulator. Very cool if you're into astronomy and astrophysics and less cool if you're not. A galactic Google Earth you can mess around with, if you will. Stuff you can do include hurling the Earth into the sun by halting its orbit, or recreating Armageddon by throwing large quantities of asteroids at random planets. No Bruce Willis to save the day here.

Dang, that 18 wheels of steel giveaway is beckoning at me, Sophita. (finally signed in on steamgifts to check out how it works. As it turns out, it does that "you're logging in steam in a new browser so we're emailing you a super secret code to verify" thing so I guess it IS pretty safe.)

ETA: Oh wow. Secret of the Magic Crystals is #15 in the top under $5 section. WUT.

the reason it has a bundle with css is because Garrys mod uses resources from the source games. (for example, you need hl2 to use hl2 props in garrys mod)

so by buying that bundle, you will have access to css props/weapons in garrys mod

[quote name='Sophita']I swear i've seen Anno 2070 now like 4 times already during this sale.[/QUOTE]

And none of them were a decent sale. Certainly not decent enough for me to put up with crappy DRM with activation limits.

Yeah, I was gonna grab Driver SF but the UPlay DRM kinda turned me off to the idea.
 
Oh cool... another opportunity for me to not buy Anno 2070 at a sky-high price.

Garry's Mod... Universe Sandbox... this sale is going out on a whimper unless they hit a homerun tomorrow. :(

Anno 2070 is $20 at GamersGate but I'm still not willing to pull the trigger for that price.
 
Co-conut Queen, If you know what I mean
Co-conut Queen, She taught me everything
This lady she asked me, If I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks,
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine!
 
[quote name='solidsmooky']It's a shame because Anno 2070 is a really really really good game.[/QUOTE]

I honestly would have bought it long ago if it weren't for the DRM. I can even live with another level of phone home verification besides Steam but activation limits I really draw the line with. I don't know, maybe if it's $5 I'll think about it with those activation limits.

Then again Dawn of Discovery (aka Anno 1404) is $5.99 now on Gamersgate and not on Steam at at all and I still can't seem to make myself pull the trigger due to the Tages DRM.

Maybe I'll have to grab the moldy old but DRM free Anno 1503 on Gamersgate when it goes on sale.
 
[quote name='AgentW']still not a bad deal with anno 2070, I just don't like the sound of its DRM.

And for Garry's mod, I'm pretty sure I saw a free (original?) version on the mod page in steam for HL2. Is that other mod pretty much the same?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/90024/[/QUOTE]

No, Garry's Mod 10 (released version) is significantly improved and has more support for more mods to it.

EDIT: Since it was brought up (using props from other games), I thought I'd leave this here...(pretty sure this is an incomplete list though)

[quote name='elessar123']Buy Rhode Island bonds, get Kingdom of Amalur free![/QUOTE]

If it were the Steam version I would probably consider it!

*Edit just read this:

http://ultimacodex.com/2012/07/random-wednesdays-4/

The chief financial officer for 38 Studios, Richard Wester, testified during a hearing in a Delaware courthouse (presumably relating to the bankruptcy of the company) that Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning failed to meet the sales expectations of the company.

Wester said 38 Studios received no cash from sales of its first game, “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning,” which was released in February, because the company had to repay $28.7 million advanced by distributor Electronic Arts to fund the game’s development. 38 Studios gets 30% of “Reckoning” royalties and EA gets the remaining 70% under the terms of their deal.

Wester estimated “Reckoning” has sold 1.3 million copies so far, which he said failed to meet 38 Studios’ internal projections even though it beat Electronic Arts’ more conservative forecast. Each copy sold for an average of about $50, and the company spent $30 million developing the game over 30 months, Thomas said.

70%?!? Christ! That's worse than a loan shark interest rate.

I'm also guessing EA doesn't get squat for the Steam version which makes it all the more a shame that no one is promoting the hell out of it for a sale because a lot of us want to buy it. *sigh*
 
[quote name='wuxbustah8']Is Counter Strike: Source worth the extra money? I know it gets me a few extra items in Garrys Mod, just not sure if its worth the price.[/QUOTE]

there's a reason why CS:S is one of the most played games on steam. Its best feature is its modded servers (for example, gun game from COD Black ops came from counter strike)

its a great game for a great price, ive spent hundreds of hours on it, and spent most of that time just playing around on the modded servers
 
So I'm planning on doing a giveaway for CAG on SteamGifts (my first one). I used a different email for SteamGifts than the one for my Steam account - since the winner gets an email with the giver's email address, does it give the winner the SteamGift or Steam Account one?

Sold, thanks.
 
Not that anyone needs another reason to avoid the current Anno 2070 deal, but the collection has gone up in price for the second time during this sale.

During the daily deal, it was originally $24.99, the same as the base game, which, okay, yeah....that was probably a price mistake. It was fixed a few hours later on that same day to $29.99. Now, for the flash deal, the collection is $36.29 (and still only includes the standard version of the game, not the deluxe, with no way to upgrade later).
 
[quote name='Lucky13']Just got in, did everyone flip out when Arma II finally went on sale?[/QUOTE]

Not much, really. It was kind of disappointing. I was expecting a show.
