Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V6! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

With the V6 Thread, we're trying a slight formatting change. We used to list every possible Steam deal in the OP, but they change too frequently for anyone to keep up with (even in the Wiki format). So now, we'll leave regular minor sales out of the OP. This post will keep track of major sales (Winter sale, etc.), Steam deals available through other sellers (like Amazon), Preorder deals, and Group Buys.

I would still greatly appreciate help from you folks at home in keeping this smaller-scale OP up-to-date. This is a Wiki post so anyone can contribute. Wiki instructions:
Thanks for your help! If you notice a sale has ended, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see something does need to be added, then kindly 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.

Steam Sales - Updated 1/22


CAG Threads Featuring Steam Games on Sale Elsewhere - Updated 1/9


Preorder Deals - Updated 1/10
Group Buy Deals - Updated 1/9/13
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 - List needs updating with F2P games!
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.

Past Special Sales

Visit www.steamgamesales.com to check previous sale prices on Steam games. We do keep track of some older sales here though:

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

Steam's explanation and list of Steam-activatable keys

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.

Other Keys that can be redeemed on Steam (CAG tested & verified)

Was on last chapter on Hotline when I read that Sleeping Dogs thing. QUIT! I DON'T CARE WHO MADE THE MUSIC, JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY. ADD ADD ADD! YES I AGREE FOR THE 500TH TIME! SUCCESS!!!!
 
[quote name='Cojack426']Um...I just bought Sleeping Dogs for $4.50 at 91%. Anyone else just do that?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, just got all the DLC for $3

[quote name='Irohazaka']Got sleeping dogs...bought it for the price.

How is it anyways?[/QUOTE]

Awesome
 
It was just gifted to me, I went "Holy shit this friend is awesome!" Thinking they spent like $30.00 lol, then saw the price update. Still awesome friend, though. Gotta be a mistake?

You are officially my favorite person of 2013, so far anyway.


It's unfortunate that two of the final three flash deals were reposted as highly sought-after, can't say I didn't see it coming. I guess I've have to comfort myself with my FIVE DOLLAR COPY OF SLEEPING DOGS!

I'm happy.
 
[quote name='zillionandnine']Woo, I just got all the DLC too. Except for a couple that weren't on sale. But ... sweet deal![/QUOTE]

This!
 
Well that was an interesting surprise. Sleeping Dogs is a game I was really looking forward to playing, but wasn't ready to buy it until it was 91% off just now. Picked up all the DLC that was on sale too. Crazy price mistake by Steam.
 
[quote name='Cojack426']Um...I just bought Sleeping Dogs for $4.50 at 91%. Anyone else just do that?[/QUOTE]
Is Tony gonna pricematch? It would make it free!!!!!!
Bought before I thought of this possiblilty
 
[quote name='mtxbass1']Why can't steam have an "add all DLC" to cart?[/QUOTE]

They do! Although I'm adding that to a future feature of Enhanced Steam ("Add all DLC I don't already own to cart")
 
[quote name='mtxbass1']Why can't steam have an "add all DLC" to cart?[/QUOTE]
Just roll out dlc list and click 'add all to cart' button
 
Great, I could get the DLC for Sleeping Dogs for next to nothing, but I can't buy it because Germany sucks... I got the uncut base game with a Never Settle bundle, but the DLC simply isn't available in the German Steam store.
 
[quote name='jshackles']They do! Although I'm adding that to a future feature of Enhanced Steam ("Add all DLC I don't already own to cart")[/QUOTE]


I just added everything, and removed the non-sale DLC items from the cart while checking out. I was certain I was going to miss this since I'm at work, but I got Dogs + DLC for a little over nine bucks.
 
[quote name='bob_793']Looking at DLC any worth getting?
Or are they all just skins.[/QUOTE]

Are you seriously wasting time checking if any of the DLC is worth it? Just grab all the DLC that's on sale lol. Think later ;)
 
If it's an error it's staying up a long time.

That said if it was an error would they just cancel those sales or will we get to keep it?
 
[quote name='UW_Shocks']Maybe this "deal" is Gabe's gift to all the Winter Sale naysayers.

I bet SQUARE-ENIX is like WTF!!![/QUOTE]


Some part of me was thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a larger discount on all the highly sought-after titles? Like a last hoorah." Never thought it would happen, even if it is a glitch.
