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.

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.

Damnit.. I activated it but didn't mean to. Already got Alien Breed 2 from the 2011 summer event lol, but it let me activate over that copy. Sorry, didn't know what game it was.
 
[quote name='stapleking']The PC version of Geometry Wars lacks analog control for the ship movement. Even when using an analog stick, like the ones on a 360 controller, ship movement is all or nothing. It makes exact movement a bit of a challenge when you have to take everything at full speed. Kind of ruined the game for me.[/QUOTE]

Wait so you can't use the analog to control movement on the PC version?

Redeeming codes which you have no idea what they're for is probably not a good idea. Sooner or later when I try to grab one of these things I'm gonna end up with something truly awful attached to my account. It's a bit like playing Russian Roulette.

This time I survived though. Thanks for Transcripted.

I tried to buy, but when I logged on, it was $1.10. And in the 30 seconds that it took for me to try and buy, the price raised to $2.30. That's kinda BS that the price doesn't stayed locked it at the price that it was when you begin the checkout process.

I got it for a little over 2 dollars. Stay dead looks so bad I can't wait to play it.

I agree within reason; they should give you a 5 minute window or so to get the price you went to checkout with. Too long and people can (and will) game the system by popping open a checkout window and letting it sit while they see if the price goes up.

That said, Shuggy alone is worth the BTA price. Fun little puzzle platformer, with leaderboards!
 
Picked up the bundle in a box - beat the average for the extra games even though I already have Shuggy. I love bundles like this and we need more of them.

An interesting side effect of Bundle-In-A-Box, IndieRoyale, IndieGameStand, and Groupees is that I now have 130 games on Desura. Sure, a lot of these games are crap, but there are a ton of really great games here. My favorites, which I never understood why they aren't on Steam, are the Ninja Bee games. They have Cloning Clyde and Ancients of Ooga, why not Kingdom for Keflings or Band of Bugs??? They're not even on Greenlight that I can find...

Given that Greed Corp. and BIT.TRIP Runner were both in other bundles (IndieGala and Humble Bundle respectively), the low Steam store price of Hamlet ($5), and my disinterest in Conquest of Elysium, I think that I'll be skipping this one. I may as well just wait until Hamlet goes for $1.25 during a sale. :whistle2:(

[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Don't forget Super Amazing Wagon Adventure![/QUOTE]

True but that one IS on Greenlight and I hope it makes it!

Anyway, picked up the Indie Royale for $4. As someone else mentioned, two of the games in the bundle were already in other bundles so I'll probably be setting up some Steamgifts later today. :)
 
Woohoo I got IR @ $4.28!

I really wish they would change their system. There's a ton of their bundles I passed on at $5-ish because I didn't notice it early enough that I would have bought without a second thought at $4-ish.

Also bought BiB but at the $1 level since I already have Shuggy.

I saw that but didn't know anything about it and figured meh. However if once you play it (I know, right?) you discover it is a trainwreck of BadRatsian proportions do please let me know!

Ugh, you guys stop tempting me into spending more money for one craptacular game. Spending a whole $4 for a bundle is already pushing it for me because IR doesn't have the $1 mins or happy hours. $4 is like the Nordstrom of bundle prices.
 
Just had something VERY strange happen - I went back to my IndieGala profile to see if there were any games / gifts I didn't redeem since I'm going to make a round of Steamgift giveaways.

Strangely - all of my "gift" purchases were reset! Some bundles, I purchased happy hour and sent them to my friends. Now I have the option of re-sending them to a new address! I tried it out by sending one to myself and I am assuming it generated new Steam keys.

So... I have a LOT of games to give away now.

Same here; there have been a few bundles that I would have bought for ~$4, but they were ~$5.5 by the time that I found out that there was a new bundle out.
 
So excited to get the bundle in a box at $2.40. I was just debating buying eversion at $2.50 during the sale (figuring it was too old for a bundle). Glad I waited.
 
[quote name='Sir_Fragalot']So I finally decided to look at the new Skyrim DLC. If I didn't have Far Cry 3 coming soon, I sadly would be making a new Skyrim character :lol:.[/QUOTE]

I wish the DLC would come to PC today. Guess I can wait... :drool:
 
Indie royale almost consistently disappoints me. They only even have one or two games tops I am interested in. And their pricing system is poor imo.

Probably not.

I don't think they had an option to tie to an email prior to IndieGala 10. Everything before that I got via a link sent manually. With 10, they added the ability to send to and tie to an email address. When they did that, I went back and made sure to tie all my received gift urls (for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9) to my email.

So you could send those out to (and tie those to) new email addresses, but they're the same bundles you already sent out.

First off, in reference to checking keys before giving them away on steamgifts, how can you tell which keys have been redeemed without actually trying them? Once you try them, if you don't have the game, the key gets used. If you do own the game, you just get a message that you already own the game. You get this message regardless of if the key has been used or not. In fact, you could use a key that you know for a fact is used, and if you already own the game, it still just says you already own this game. There's no indication of the status of the key.

Secondly, how do you know that you got new gifts? My assumption if I were in your place would be that a glitch caused Indie Gala to forget who I sent the bundles to. I wouldn't automatically think that I got new bundles.
 
[quote name='The End']how do you know that you got new gifts? My assumption if I were in your place would be that a glitch caused Indie Gala to forget who I sent the bundles to. I wouldn't automatically think that I got new bundles.[/QUOTE]

Actually, when I gifted the bundles before, I had them sent to my own email address (I added a "." somewhere, so google would still deliver them) and sent the steam keys directly via email. One set of keys to my son, one to my daughter, etc.

Now that they have been "reset", I sent one to myself again, and double checked that the new keys were different than the ones I had sent previously in my email.

Kind of strange - but I assume the keys will work. All I know for sure is that they're different keys than the ones I sent before.
