Daily Deal:
Please check the Steam homepage.

Weeklong Deals:
Steam usually has week-long deals that change on Mondays at 6PM UTC. They mostly feature indie games, and may not run every week.

Sale summary lists:

Key:
⤷ indicates DLC, — specifies part of a pack, + shows alternative versions, ⚠ highlights things worth knowing, ♫ is obvious, and ... denotes a multi-pack.

Holiday Sale 2013 | 19/12/13 through 3/1/14:
Days 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-14.

Spring/Autumn Sale 2013 | 27/11/13 through 3/12/13:
All days.

Steam deals on other stores: (Related threads on CAG.)

Indie* bundle threads: (*Not always indie, nor always a bundle.)

Free stuff:
There are quite a few free games (mostly Free to Play) and mods available via the Steam platform, a comprehensive list of which can be found in this thread on the SPUF.
(NOTE: 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.)

I did enough waking up and falling back to sleep last night, after coming home from work!

EDIT 2:

Oooh, I got Snow Globe Card #4 now.



EDIT 3:

I guess getting-up early in the morning might be a good time to catch-up on this thread, since it's pretty much at a stand-still right now. ;)

$1.99 for Universe Sandbox

...I might bite. I need to find a couple of Lets Play or WTF is, to see how much astrophyzizziles is involved.

Thanks to whoever that was for sharing his thoughts on Verdun. It looked mighty RO2-ish, and I hardly ever find a good game there despite the game having all kinds of potential and realized greatness.

Typing of the Dead. Would be an instant buy for me if it incorporated learning a foreign language. That'd be powerful.

Really want Memoria but it's only 50% off.

Is there already a page # I could review to talk me out of it? :)

You really need to ask here if you should buy something at 50% off? Wait. You know it will go on a cheaper sale eventually and/or bundled.

Speaking of which, I really want Paper's Please but I'm sorry it just has Humble Bundle written all over it. As soon as he gets that Linux version out I think they'll snap it right up.

Also I've pondered Bulletstorm a bit but came to the conclusion IT'S A TRAP! to get people to buy before Humble EA 2. Maybe.

Hey Motoki, you're absolutely right that Papers, Please has bundle fodder written all over it, but I also think that, given its critical praise, that probably won't happen for a while (half a year or more?). It'll probably be 75% off before then but still...

I think it's an incredible game, and I was VERY surprised at just how much I enjoyed it. It scratched a weird itch that most other games never have (that sounds weird and perverted), and I'm so glad I bought it for $5 during a previous sale. If you plan to play it soon, I don't think you will be disappointed!

Simon Parkin even lists it as his #1 game of 2013.

The game uses GFWL and so many people are complaining that it is not working, I am not sure if EA will even fix this issue. :roll:

 
Voted for Ninja, really enjoyed that game and I need to finish it. Also really tempted by bulletstorm, but wondering if SP will still be playable post GFWL shutdown.

I would be very surprised to see Bulletstorm in an EA bundle. It's an Epic Games title and EA is simply involved under EA Partners distribution.

Remove the GFWL version that comes with the game and google for an older installer of GFWL 3.0 or 3.5. These allow you to play offline and ignore the log-in process altogether. The newer versions still want you to bind the game to your account first, if I remember right. And yeah, no issues whatsoever here. here workaround for bulletstorm

Too bad olders version doesn't work in Windows 8, so that's not useful for me. Still a skip and see next sale if there's a change for this :)

Suprisingly SOTS:The Pit, gets better with the DLC by a long shot. A lot more variety added, seems quicker, lots of extra items/characters, more monsters and such. There is 2 of them and I highly recommend both if you liked the game just a bit. It took it to being fun for me, and is now one of the rogue type games I play. Without DLC it's a bit too vanilla...luckily the DLC is cheap and more like an expansion pack, kind of like the Dungeons of Dredmor one was.

Bulletstorm is only four hours, and quite a riot, so even a CAG should be able to play it before then.

Mo winh8, Mo Problems. Again, it's only four hours long.

I really wish Epic would support PC gaming like they used to - you know, like they did before Microsoft's $ tainted them. I certainly did like GoW PC + Bulletstorm PC - but they treated PC gamers much better, back when Unreal series + UT series were actually a BIG deal.

EDIT:

Oh, I'd be very happy w/ Epic took G4WL out of Bulletstorm and switched it to something else. Either Origin (since EA is involved as a publisher here) or Steam. Either of them would be much better than G4WL.

Well, shit.

Heard a lot of good stuff about Bulletstorm, but Ima wait to play until after GFWL goes byebye in case they add achievements to Steam.

EA was a partner-publisher w/ that partners-program w/ Bulletstorm.

Do you really think they (Epic) might be able swing Bulletstorm over to Steamworks-only?

It'd be nice, sure - but is that really gonna happen?

G4WL is probably there as a middle-ware program, so they could have the game sold both on Steam + Origin - and probably so they didn't have to put in too much more Net-code on the PC, since XBox version would use XBL (Remember, G4WL and XBL are tied together). We all know EA w/ Origin and Valve w/ Steam ain't the best of buddies, you know?

Maintaining two different versions for Epic - i.e. one for Origin-only, one for Steamworks-only - might be a pain in the neck. I don't see that happening.

Plus, when has Epic really supported PC gaming like they used to in the Unreal + UT days?

Are there other middle-ware programs like G4WL that Epic could use, so the game could be sold on both Steam + Origin?

GameRanger, maybe?
