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.

I failed right before you got on, glad to take one for the team.

At least they are all good titles. Well can't comment on Company of Heroes, I own it but haven't played it. :lol:

I must say I am enjoying this Hell Yeah!. It's nothing special but it has some charm going for it. A fun little time waster, but I would say not worth the full $15. More like $5-10 range.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Mine still seems to be showing up on the checkout page. I already own Nexuiz so I don't know how that affects a 4 pack. Does it not work when you go through checkout?[/QUOTE]

It doesn't work for me during checkout. I think if you removed it and added it again, the coupon wouldn't apply. That's the way these things tend to go. Had Serious Sam 3 in my cart during the Summer Sale and this happened...
 
[quote name='gordojones88']Retro City Rampage

Steam release October 9th[/QUOTE]

And now my wishlist is back to being bigger than it was before the summer sale. :cry:

At least I am actually starting to get through some of my games though.
 
Does anyone want a copy of New Star Soccer? I have an extra copy and don't know anyone that would be interested.

One of these should work (I redeemed one. Not sure which):
6391D1A40E386AB7
0F97DB87E4E3DE20

You have to make an account on their site and then plug this in where it asks for a premium code or something. Then you get a Steam key.

[quote name='SeymourGams']Groupees is live!!![/QUOTE]

Thanks for the head's up.

I'd just like to point out that according to this post over on NeoGAF, the version of Tropico 3 is actually the regular edition (as opposed to the Steam Special Edition). You can check out the steam page for Tropico 3 - Steam Special Edition to see what you'll be missing out on if you redeem the key from the groupies bundle. I'll leave it to each of you to determine if you care about missing out on that extra stuff.

Thanks to drizzle on NeoGAF.

It IS Tropico Steam Special Edition but is NOT Tropico Gold which includes the 9.99 expansion (DLC?) Absolute Power.
 
How do you know? Have you already redeemed a key from BM5?

It wouldn't be the first time that somebody working for customer support got something wrong, but generally I'm inclined to believe the word of somebody who's involved with the bundle. Unless I'm given clear evidence (the word of a fellow CAG would do) that they were wrong.

I redeemed it a bit ago, I happened to get the first or second bundle by luck.

They were translating from Dutch and were confused by the response if you check your link.
 
My library says "Tropico 3- Steam Special Edition" and if I click on the gamehub, that's the store page it takes me to...
 
[quote name='The End']Alright, that's good enough for me. Thanks for clearing that up SeymourGams.[/QUOTE]

You are most welcome; It was the first time someone hasn't beat me to posting a deal here, it is nice to feel like I am finally contributing.
 
[quote name='The End']I just posted a correction over on NeoGAF. So by proxy, you've straitened those guys out over there too. :)[/QUOTE]

Can anyone actually "straighten out" NeoGAF?
 
[quote name='Preedatore']I failed right before you got on, glad to take one for the team.[/QUOTE]

Your death was not in vain, Ensign Preedatore. Although I'd probably reconsider your choice of red on your next uniform.
 
[quote name='I OU a Beatn']Deadlight Coming to Steam 10/25

Even though I already beat this twice on 360 and already got all the achievements, I'll definitely be picking this up on Steam. I absolutely loved every second of it.[/QUOTE]

I've been eyeing that one, looks like fun. I wonder if it'll play as good as Limbo in 3D, it'd be nice if it just worked without someone having to fix it. I also wonder if it'll wind up in an indie bundle just like Limbo did.
 
[quote name='Genocidal']It's been mentioned in the Amazon thread, but Gamefly is having a weekend deal on 2K games. Of greatest note is Spec Ops: The Line for $7.50.

Dishonored is also available to preload.[/QUOTE]
Is there a coupon available currently?
 
[quote name='plft']Is there a coupon available currently?[/QUOTE]

Also interested in this. Gamefly says it's Steamworks and I've been waiting for a sub $10 price to get it. Even lower would be nice.
 
Hm. Any thoughts on the graphic novels in BeMine 5? I already have Tropico 3 and Kings Bounty, so I'm trying to figure out whether the GNs and Strangers Wrath are worth the $5.
 
Whoot! Got Be Mine 5 for $1. X-Blades has been on my want list for a while. Already had King's Bounty Platinum ($5 Amazon, early 2012) and Tropico 3 Gold.

I've seen widespread belief that Stranger's Wrath HD will hit $2.50. Steam forums seem unhappy with the buggyness of it. (I own non-HD from Amazon.)

$1 is a no brainer; $5 is more iffy on BM5, imo.
 
Woot got Best Buy to price match Diablo 3 for $10. Too bad I'm too busy to play anything but the CAG in me can't resist that deal considering the stingy nature of Activison/Blizzard who rarely gives price drops on any of franchise series

Sorry, where is Diablo III $10? I must have missed this.
 
[quote name='warreni']Hm. I'll have to see whether there's anything worth picking up at my local one. Inventory's probably very slim.[/QUOTE]

I would say so. If anything you could find arkham city, ac revelations, bf3 and wow cataclysm. Those seem to be the least popular.
 
[quote name='Terlan']Will be grabbing this when it launches.[/QUOTE]

I'd wait for a drop. It started off great but it's short and the last half isn't that good. Assuming $15 like XBLA, that's too much.
 
[quote name='Palinn']Looks like they have the game discounted there as well. $6.99 as opposed to Steam's price of $7.99. Of course neither deal is 75% off...[/QUOTE]

Best price is the three pack on Gamersgate.

It is 15.99 - 15% = $4.53 a copy if you have the IGN discount.
 
[quote name='Preedatore']Toys r us clearanced all pc games out, except panda adventures expansion for WoW.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=329365[/QUOTE]

I'll have to check out my local TRU this weekend, and see what happens. Though according to the thread some people have had some success PMing at BestBuy and Wal-Mart. So I may try that as well. Looking it to seeing if Amazon will price match for me too.
