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'm exactly where you are

"Crap the sale is over soon, ok it'll be awful to wait another 2 years"

5 MINS LATER

"Jade Empire is still on sale, for what?

Steamgifts newbie question - can I create a giveaway if I don't have the game in my inventory? I have a couple of Steam keys for games from Amazon bundles that I don't want, but I couldn't see any way to activate them on Steam as gifts. Thanks!
 
[quote name='Draekon']Not entirely true and creating a new account isn't always that simple depending on how someone is banned. Depends on how adept the user is.

I'm kind of curious what the keys were going to be used for because we were one of the two places mentioned by Tony on what they were for.[/QUOTE]

From what I understand they were going to be given to CAGs and neogaf users because Amazon's game download facebook page reached 100k users so Tony managed to get those keys for us.
 
Damn. Ive been reading furiously but im still about 7 pages back. So sorry if this has been answered but i gotta take my grandmother to the doctors and will be gone till this eavning.

I noticed Jade empire was up for 75% off. Seems like a great deal and i think i may want to jump on that since i loved it on Xbox. Does it ever get lower than that? Someone posted a link to a steam price tracking page but i lost it =(

Also, does this game have controller support? I heard most games can be played just by plugging an Xbox controller in. Id love to do that with this

^_^x KD
 
Wow, my crappy ending to the sale got even worse when I woke up and saw Jade Empire.

So far I got screwed by Saints Row by buying all the DLC on Steam and then the game off of Amazon for like $22 total. Then I bought Last Remnant RIGHT BEFORE IT DROPPED IN PRICE to $3.75. And now I see my excited purchase of Jade Empire at $7.50 was a waste too. Last day of sales and I lose about $20 because of that crap.

Bah humbug.
 
[quote name='Kenshindono']Also, does this game have controller support? I heard most games can be played just by plugging an Xbox controller in. Id love to do that with this[/QUOTE]

Says right on the Steam store page for it.
Customizable, intuitive controls including support for game-pads and keyboard/mouse.
 
[quote name='EarthBoundX5']Well one day I hope that changes, a mouse is just much more precise than a joystick. I suggest picking up a cheap Nostromo if you ever find one (I have 2 and only spend $1!); it helps alot for those not used to a keyboard (and is awesome for those who are)[/QUOTE]
I just have no interest in switching, I just don't like it. But I'm not one of those guys who say one is better than the other, everyone should play how they wanna play and all get along.

Sure. You get the winners email address so you can just send it that way. Maybe include in the description that the prize comes in key form.
 
[quote name='Solid-Snake-Eyes']I just have no interest in switching, I just don't like it. But I'm not one of those guys who say one is better than the other, everyone should play how they wanna play and all get along.[/QUOTE]
Ya and ok, I just hate the mentality people can get who have not played wiht keyboard/mouse enough. I have too many friends who are console gamers who bitch and moan about PC gaming sucks because of using a keyboard/mouse; they refuse to play a game on PC unless it has controller support.

EDIT: And I totally get the preference. Especially when alot of people don't bother to check Mouse sensitivity for games, lol. But seriously, I get it; I mean on PC I just can't play L4D with keyboard/mouse, gotta use controller. For whatever reason, I just can't do keyboard/mouse for it; yet for most every other game its the reverse.
 
I snatched up Jade Empire for $3.75 because I've always longed for this game on PC. I feel sorry for you guys who lost a little money. Refund potential perhaps?

Creating a new account can be as easy as using a new email, or for savvier people than me changing your IP address. If it's with steamgifts seems the person would just need to create a 2nd steam account to receive games.

Yep, you can. I think they plan on doing something to cut back on the gifting of bundle keys, but those are fine. You'll just create it and then email the key to the winner.
 
I should probably install my boxed Jade Empire to play along with all the new owners. Passing on the deal due to that, but if anyone is considering it, I do recommend.

Worst case is they reject it
 
OK, final damages:
10.19 Dead Island
01.99 Frozen Synapse DLC
16.71 Deus Ex + DLC
04.99 Fallout 3 GOTY
09.99 Fallout New Vegas Ult
04.99 Dead Space 2
11.99 Crysis 2
04.99 Bulletstorm (gorgeous, and the main character is freaking Spike Spiegel)
10.19 Rage (only real regret, performance is shit)
33.09 Assassin's Creed Pack
13.29 Saint's Row Franchise
09.99 GTA IV (couldn've gotten cheaper but I'd talked myself into it expecting it to win that last vote)
04.99 Kohan Warchest

and...
03.74 Jade Empire


141.13 Total

A bit more than I'd intended but aside from Rage no regrets. I picked up a bunch of AAA's I'd been wanting, namely Deus Ex and Assasin's Creed, and some other stuff.

No Coconut Queen though - fail CAG.

They need to create a new email to make a new steam account, and the account needs at least $100 of games in it to use on steam gifts. So it takes a little effort. They'd at least have to load a couple bundles worth of games on it.
 
Interesting, leaving the summer camp group just allowed my BGCQ invite to work. I wonder if there's a group limit, but 4 seems awfully small.
 
Wow, I made it out of this year's Steam sale with a total of 1 purchase. Should have been 4 but I missed out on the Binding of Isaac dlc and I forgot to purchase SPAZ and Alan Wake's American Nightmare before the sale ended. :(
 
[quote name='sunghost']Jokes on you Gaben! Now none of us will buy anything at 50% off! We'll all wait until 75% off no matter what game it is.[/QUOTE]
Worst thing is I DO have that rule, it's just because how long it was since it had a sale.

Well, there's more ways to ban a person than just account and IP. Not to mention the stuff they might be able to figure out who the guy actually is as he most likely surfed Amazon and Reddit with the same IP/MAC address. Also the fact that there are some bored people on Reddit who would probably try and figure out who this guy is for the fun of it, post it on the net and then people would likely abuse him (massive pizza bills, etc). Wouldn't be the first time stuff like that has happened.


Unless we're talking about separate things here. (I'm not talking about Steam Gifts)

awww darn didn't think there would be much activity on here today. What are ya'll talking about?
 
No offense but i think the steam summer sales were mostly poop. Green Man Gaming has better sales, and the most recent humble indie bundle was better than the indie bundles steam was selling.

I only bought the Witcher, and Binding of Isacc.

Not really relevant to this thread, so I should stop posting about it in here. If you want to know more, go to the stickied Amazon thread and talk about it there.
 
Picked up Jade Empire...couldn't justify the price before because I had it on xbox, but at this price I couldn't resist. I'm curious to see what the daily deals are for the rest of the week and if Coconut Queen shows up. That would be too funny.
 
Well, my first Steam Summer Sale has been an awesome experience. :) Before this, I don't think I even touched this thread (I never gamed on my PC), but I can't stay away from now on. I was so surprised at how cheap PC gaming could be (compared to console gaming, excluding the hefty cost of a good PC XD). From now on, whenever I see a console game on sale, instead of saying, "Wow, that's a great deal!" I'll be all like, "Hmm... this definitely could be cheaper at the Summer Sale. :applause: I can't believe just a few weeks ago, I was thinking about buying Alan Wake for 360 for ~$15, and this week I got the whole Franchise for just $10! Some other highlights for me for the sale were Ys: The Oath in Felghana ($20 on PSP? No way!) and Portal 2, which I was dying to play! I didn't spend a lot (well, compared to you guys) and held back on games, even though my Steam Library was lacking, only because I spent way to much on my consoles this year. After all this, I'm actually thinking about switching over to PC gaming, and selling my consoles (maybe keeping my PS3, because JRPGs are the only genre that Steam lacks :p).

I'd really like to thank all of you for making my first sale a great experience with your friendliness and all your help. You all are suuuper awesome, and this thread was the best thing about the sale. For me, I think watching you guys obsess about Coconut Queen was the best part though. ;) Anyways, here's my first Giveaway. I tried this out on PS3 before, and I liked it. I'm not sure if this is a popular game around here, but you all should try it!



(Now to figure out how to put this in my signature... :lol:)

Also, before scrolling through like 30 pages (which will probably be more after this lol) and writing this, I was looking at Steam and saw Jade Empire and let out a little laugh and though "Valve... OH YOU!" because I know how many of you bought it before the sale ended. :lol:

Oh, did I set up that Steamgifts thing right? If you guys catch any mistakes in like the group settings or something, please tell me. :)

I sent an email asking for a price adjustment as I also just purchased it before it went on sale, if not no biggie, the money saved outweighs the 4 extra dollars :p
 
[quote name='facls']Now that the sale is over, what do we do? Do we actually have to play the games now?[/QUOTE]

No silly, we let the backlog build until the winter sale and repeat!
 
[quote name='facls']Now that the sale is over, what do we do? Do we actually have to play the games now?[/QUOTE]

Play? I thought this was an effort to create the biggest, but cheapest backlog...

Play...huh, interesting. I may have to try that.

AFAIK Valve doesn't do price adjustments.. but they sometimes do full refunds. I could be wrong though.
 
Does the Jade Empire sale mean we have another 12 days of possible increased daily discounts from the sale? Like Maybe ARMA 2 at 75% off?:D

The two main rules of CAG at the beginning of this sale;

1) Wait for daily
2) buy at end of sale if not a daily

Now we need all new rules for next time. :wall:

If there's a Steam spy on this thread, identify yourself! We want to work with you not against you! :D

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.

[quote name='EarthBoundX5']lmao, so true. Well thats too bad, at least for situations like this, Xpadder can alleviate the pain. But there are few times I'd use controller over Keyboard/Mouse.[/QUOTE]


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.

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.

[quote name='BigSpoonyBard']How did the Brawny Gents get to 90 members in a weekend? I'm going to have to have a talk with Motoki and crack his coconuts.[/QUOTE]

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:
