Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V5! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. 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.

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.

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.

Is it weird that I'm looking at the games I already own on Steam in the current Indie Royale and thinking it's still worth it to have them added to my Desura list?

I figure I'll buy it primarily for The Dream Machine as it's on my wishlist. Already own Anomaly and PA2.

Is trading for a Russian Two Worlds 2 risky at all? I know there are some weird things associated with Russian games in occasional cases. What's the situation like in this case?

I know that he doesn't trade region locked games, any reputable CAG wouldn't, but you can research yourself to confirm any region locking with this guide, it's very easy: http://www.reddit.com/r/SteamGameSw...ow_to_determine_if_a_game_is_actually_region/

I searched the velvet edition in the russian store for you, appears to be region free. It has the same product ID as the one in the US store. http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/13656

Keep in mind that these were bought on a price mistake for ~16 cents in the Russian steam store earlier today. I doubt steam will revoke the games, but there's always a chance.
 
um anyone wanna buy Sugar Cube: Bittersweet Factory for 3 bucks from me or have a game to offer? I can't seem to sell it anywhere, its a 2d platformer thats pretty cute
 
I love that Best Buy has Steam cards. I had a weird amount on a gift card and the perfect solution was putting it toward Steam. Now other stores can enable my Steam backlog.
 
I almost bought it, but it occurred to me that now that the price is ruined so badly, it's almost certainly going to be a bundle game at some point.
 
[quote name='jshackles']So it looks like Ravaged is on sale for $2.00 following a fiasco where people were getting it for free with a coupon. It seems they send you a steam key but I have not confirmed this:

http://www.raindg.com/title/ravaged[/QUOTE]

Confirmed. I just purchased it and activated the key on Steam.

Edit: I got it for $2. Apparently, right after I ordered it went up to $4.99. It seems like this game is riddled with pricing problems lol.
 
I am hoping that the Autumn Seal coupons I have left over will work the first day of the Autumn sale. Most of them expire on Nov 21, but the Rochard coupons work until the 22nd.

Not sure if the Nov. 21 coupons stop working at midnight tonight, or if they're good THROUGH tomorrow.
 
I'm a little surprised at how irritated people seem to be getting with Humble for having a bundle that isn't cross platform. I know the cross platform nature of their bundles is a big draw for a lot of people, but how could they really expect a company with one foot in the grave to port 4 of their games over to mac and linux for a PWYW bundle?

If people are considering this to somehow delude the Humble name... I pretty much feel like every bundle has been deluded to the point where I have no expectation of quality or features at this point.
 
Looking for a grimrock coupon if anyone has an extra, been trying codes in the thread and f5ing like crazy but seem to keep missing them.

The new Double Fine thing is Windows only also.
 
i impulse bought hitman last night from GMG, and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. i even like the checkpoint system. if you're a fan of the series it is well worth the $29.
 
Ok so no midweek deal. Autumn sale starts tomorrow :D.

Oh wait I shouldn't be smiling, my bank account got hit, hit again, and beaten to a pulp and left for dead on the sidewalk this month and now we have an autumn sale. Oh god...
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Ah, so anytime there are keys outside of Steam?[/QUOTE]

Yep, previous Humble Bundles are registered as ProofOfPrepurchaseOnly also.

I might have to go balls out this sale. Baby on the way before the summer sale. This could be my last hurrah

Pffft.

1) Sell baby.
2) Buy more games.
 
[quote name='Mooby']Pffft.

WRONG
1) Feed baby till it gets really fat
2) Sell it by the pound
3) Buy more games

That is what my parents did to me and I came out all right.... :cry:
 
I think Sleeping Dogs for under $14 at GMG will get the better of me. I'm gonna try the demo and if I like I'll grab it.

Any opinions on Cities in Motion? I've been intrigued by it for a while.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Better option:

1. Enter baby into pageants.
2. Turn baby into next Honey Boo Boo Child.
3. Laugh all the way to the bank.[/QUOTE]

Now you're talking!
 
I have the luxury of passing on Sleeping Dogs since I have an outdated system. That said, since it's a Squeenix title I have no doubts it'll be as cheap, if not cheaper, again at various points in the immediate future. Just look at Deus Ex HR.
 
The Sleeping Dogs demo ran well on my old Phenom 2 X3-720 (@2.8 GHz) with a GTX 260. It has a reputation of being well optimized on PC. I bit. A dollar shy of 75% off for a well regarded 3-month old GTA-ish game that runs well on my PC, sold. Definitely give the demo a try.

X-Blades was but not Blades of Time.

No. X-Blades was in a groupies bundle, but Blades of Time hasn't been in a bundle.
