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.

lol
 
[quote name='DWulf']So I had no idea about the whole "bundle keys = no-no" thing on Steamgifts before I created the giveaways (I'm a dumb newbie on that, I admit it :dunce:). Is there something I should/could do? I didn't see an option to cancel the giveaways (although I'd hate to do that for the people who already entered).[/QUOTE]

Click the support button in the upper right and create a support ticket. If you don't report it and they find out, you will definitely be temp if not perma banned. If you report it and they delete the giveaway you usually are let off with a warning. Oh, and read the FAQ.

[quote name='Taren Fox']I managed to not spend a buttload of money this steam sale. I got Fallout New Vegas GOTY for $10 and Rocket Knight for $7.50. Not bad at all. I'm trying my best not to add too much to my backlog.[/QUOTE]

I took the same approach only picking up Borderlands GOTY and Renegade Ops spending less than $10. Probably would have gotten Company of Heroes Complete bundle, but it didn't drop to its low.

I'm determined to finally conquer my backlog by the end of the year and save up for the Winter sale.
 
[quote name='JustYourAverageJoe']Yeah, that's my reaction too. I'm not angry or anything, just like, "Really, are you fucking kidding me guys? Mannnnnnnnn." I could've afforded Pixeljunk!

Well, poop.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'm more pissed at myself than steam. I know better than to buy a game that isn't 75% or $5 if I'm not playing it immediately.



Bytheway, you have the best avy on this site. It's very distracting. :applause:
 
I really started getting into Steam last Winter sale, but I was so tapped out that I only made a handful (plus another handful) of purchases. This time around, I went in and figured I'd do whatever damage I could with a firm limit of $50. A challenge to myself to get as many I the games I wanted for just $50. My haul consisted of:

Orcs Must Die + Artifacts of Power and Lost Adventures 4.99
Legend of Grimrock 5.99
Trine Bundle 4.99
Prince of Persia 2.49
Gothic 3 2.49
Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods 2.49
Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands 2.49
X-Superbox 9.99
Cave Story+ 2.49
Civilization 4: The Complete Edition 7.49
Dungeon Defenders 3.74
The Longest Journey 2.49
Medieval II: Total War Gold 2.49
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale 4.99
Galactic Civilizations II 4.99
Thief Bundle 6.74
Far Cry Complete 4.9
Magicka 2.49
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet 3.74
Magicka: The Stars Are Left 1.49
Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 4.99
Morrowind Game of the Year 4.99
Oblivion Game of the Year Deluxe 6.24
Divinity II - Dragon Knight Saga 9.99
The Witcher: Enchanced Edition 2.49
Broken Sword Trilogy 2.50
SPAZ 2.49
Dungeons of Dredmon + Realm of the Diggle Gods 2.99
Jade Empire (Post Sale) 3.74

Total 124.46

Overall exceeded my limit by roughly $75.00. I totally underestimated the addictive nature of these sales; never knew I would be as bad with Steam sales as I am with gamefly sales. Oh well, my PC backlog almost caught my xbox backlog in the course of one week. My big issue now is figuring out what to play next after I finish up with World of Goo (from last Winter sale).
 
Missed the last 4 days of the sale and the chance to pick up the games I was holding out for. At least Jade Empire came as a consolation prize.
 
[quote name='Jaysonguy']I usually have a "only 75%" when it comes to regular store buys but I see Jade Empire at 50% and I know it's never going to get cheaper but I'm still waiting to get the nerve lol[/QUOTE]

It's proving really entertaining reading the day's backlog of posts knowing that a few hours later, heads must've been hitting desks in unison. Looking forward to that moment.
 
[quote name='Phased']Just wondering since I see many Coconut Queen posts in here if anyone had a copy they'd like to sell for Paypal.[/QUOTE]

I had one left but I had already promised it to someone, sorry. :cry:

Man I should have stocked up on Coconut Queens. :)

I would say you'll probably have to wait until the Winter sale but after the stunt they pulled today I have no clue what Steam is going to do anymore.

Yeah, I really need to follow the 75% rule better. I did better at it this time, but there some games (Spec Ops at Amazon, Walking Dead on Steam) that I really want to play now that I splurged on. I'll have to do better next time.

And thanks! :) That's the singer Lights. She actually plays a lot of WoW, apparently. One of her tats is of a sword from the game.
 
Well, I got the "King of the Clubhouse" badge. Looks like all I get for the badge is Valve's eternal gratitude for lining their pocketbooks a little more, haha. I spent about $50 in the sale, which I guess is ok.
 
[quote name='Phased']Just wondering since I see many Coconut Queen posts in here if anyone had a copy they'd like to sell for Paypal.[/QUOTE]

I appreciate the giveaway, as perhaps one of the only Coconut Queens in the group. :D
 
[quote name='M_F_A_H']A couple of musings about Jade Empire:

1) The 360 controller is recognized instantly and the controls seem fine to me.

2) The first time I played Jade Empire was on an Xbox 360 so I'm bowled over by how pretty this PC port is at 1920x1080 and max settings. Lovely, exquisite, etc.[/QUOTE]

Good to hear, Thanks
 
[quote name='Sophita']Don't say that...nooo..nooo! After Jade Empire im already in fear that Kings Bounty will now be a 75% off this week and I messed up getting that 50% too :cry:[/QUOTE]

I feel the same way with Sims 3. I'm going to be really disappointed if it goes on sale anytime soon.
 
[quote name='utopianmachine']I appreciate the giveaway, as perhaps one of the only Coconut Queens in the group. :D[/QUOTE]

If you ever need another Queen to serve as a buffer against all these brawny gents, I'm your girl. ;)

Although I'm not sure I would consider myself "elite" enough to be part of that group, since I'm not always around that much. Damn grad school.

In other news, it feels strange not to have anything to be tempted to spend money on today. Since I never got to pick up Saints Row 3 this morning (because I'm an absent-minded idiot) that money in my wallet is taunting me.

Thanks for posting this, I was nervous after the other post that I'd wasted some money.
 
Thanks for all your work on the OP, and to Motoki for all the giveaways, and to everyone else.

When these big sales end, it's always sad - kinda like you feel at the end of a long vacation.

Oh well, the next one will be here before we know it.

Thanks again to everyone who keep this thread fun the past couple weeks.

[quote name='BrolyB593']I just expired out and spoilered up the Summer Sale.

The OP is back to normal though it needs quite a bit of updating. I will try to get to that later if I can.

Either way it was a sad time literally 'packing up' the summer sale hahah.

Oh did you guys both bite the bullet and buy those games on the last day?

To deviousnaraku: I don't think you have too much to worry about. The Sims 3 have only had two sales above 50% off since they were released on steam a couple of years ago. The most recent one was a couple of months ago. I'd guess that you're probably safe until the holiday sale.

As for Sophita & King's bounty....well, that could go on sale at any minute. :(
 
[quote name='Showstoppa42']It's sad, I usually recommend Everyday Genius Square Logic on the last day of these big sales because it goees super cheap and it really is an awesome little puzzle game, but it was unfortunately removed a month or so ago.[/QUOTE]

Wow, I hadn't noticed. I did think back to it being the darling of its sale back then, but I didn't think to look at its current price. SL is a game I come back to every now and then to veg, especially if I'm limited to my old laptop. Glad to have it in my Steam list. (Alternately, Half Price Books has physical copies for a buck or two.)

Good thing the SR3 full pack went down on price from its original 75%, because if I had any money left it would make me feel uncomfortable. :pP
That is such a silly thing to realize though.

I kind of wish I was able to get Arma 2, but I didn't jump on the deal because non of my friends did. :/
(Scandalous, I know, but I may get it at full price eventually.)
 
Ha, I just got home and looked on steam and saw Jade Empire as the daily for $3.75. I guess I know why there are 30+ pages! Now to catch up and read of the inevitable anger and joy....
 
[quote name='walkonshadows']Anyone else notice that Gamersgate has countdown timers on their sales now, look hard, they are REALLY tiny. Under the Massive 50% or 75% off stickers.[/QUOTE]
They have had those on their daily deals for years.
 
So since I like Spectromancer so much, I've been thinking about checking out the Magic: The Gathering card games (the computer ones).

Do they ever go on sale? (noticed they didn't seem to be on sale this past week).

Any recommendations?

[quote name='garrett007']Same here! Glad I didn't get it yesterday![/QUOTE]

I almost bought too, but I didn't have enough funds in the wallet and didn't feel like adding more (plus another game to the backlog). But now, how can I pass this up? :)

Magic does go on sale from time to time yes so definitely do not pay full price for it. If you get it beware of the DLC. Most of it is sparkly foil effects and cheat-ish unlocks.

Coincidentally, I was just looking at Arma II:CO and noticed there's no button to add it to your wish list.

While I don't approve sparkly foil effect DLC, I do wish I had a button to add a sparkly foil effect to myself.

I know right! and after today's Jade Empire at 75% off I have this feeling every community choice that didn't win and also wasn't a flash or daily is going to be on sale this week. Which is what Jade Empire was and also Kings Bounty. :whee:

Oh well now I know 75% or bust, and knowing is half the battle.

[quote name='deviousnaraku']Yup. Almost $60 for Sims 3 with 3 Eps :cry: Yeah I noticed that too. Last Holiday sale it didn't go above 50% but did in March when Showtime was released. I'm doubtful it could go on sale since Steam apparently isn't getting anymore DLC for it, but there's always that small, slim chance EA could put it on sale. If they do, I'm just hoping it's not anytime soon.[/QUOTE]

I keep waiting for some kind of like complete pack. But it seems they are still releasing expansions, So either Origin will have the next big sale or im guessing when Sims 4 comes out they will do Sims 3 complete. :cry: Been waiting since the release of Sims 3 to pick it up.

No idea when Sims 2 complete came out if it was before or after Sims 3.

Ditto.

I have SO many choices, I can't make up my mind.

So I continue to follow this thread. :)

Welcome to the club. I think i spend more time looking at all my games than playing them. :whee:
 
[quote name='Sophita']Don't say that...nooo..nooo! After Jade Empire im already in fear that Kings Bounty will now be a 75% off this week and I messed up getting that 50% too :cry:[/QUOTE]

There is a new King's Bounty game in development that'll be released within the next few months. I get the feeling the old ones will have a better sale on Steam still, either before the new one comes out or around the time it does. I decided to hold out for such a happening- my backlog is massive.

Seeing Jade Empire drop in a daily sale like this makes me hope they're going to deep discount more things that were missed out in the big sale. I wanted a deeper discount on the Drakensang games, myself. And maybe they'll convince Rhode Island that a deep discount on Amalur is a good idea. I'm a little miffed that I got the game on Steam right now. I've been watching the DLC go on sale all over the internet for the Origin version. :p
 
[quote name='BigSpoonyBard']Oh my gawd, another minute until someone wins Truckz!![/QUOTE]

What game are you talking about if you don't mind me asking?

[quote name='Mr. Sax Appeal']I have no idea what to play now.... Too many choices.:lol:[/QUOTE]
Well, the answer is obvious - You must start with the game everyone loves! CQ;)
 
I keep installing games and then playing them for about an hour or two then jumping on. I can't decide either! They're all too good!
