Steam took me to the cleaners this week...
I bought a few myself then" @Getz said:
" That's nothing man, you should see me at Christmas time. "This "
I managed to pass on all of them, I only passed up Hot Pursuit because I wasn't aware of the sales until the crysis sale.
NFS was only $10 USD here in NZ. I picked that up and the Crysis bundle. I am looking forward to never installing them.
Only took $10 from me. Only thing of interest to me during the sale was the Bad Company 2 DLC. Would have picked up the Sims stuff if it was bundled and around $20-$30, but they are still asking way too much for that stuff.
This is why I try not to log onto steam. Almost every god damn time there's a sale and I buy a game i'll never play more than 15 minutes.
All good games, and for great prices. Less than $60 isn't exactly taking you to the cleaners. Maybe that's just me.
" I was hoping Crysis 2 would go on sale. Oh well.You always save money with steam. "I am guessing maybe during the summer sale... it just came out like a month ago... Anyways, nothing was all that enticing. I did breakdown and bought the Crysis + Warhead pack but I am looking for a way to get around the crappy DRM they have for this game.
The cool thing is, the more you buy, the more you become immune to their sales.
It's the perfect plan.
Oh and I want Neverwinter Nights 2 to go on sale again since I missed it last time. There's always the summer sale coming soon.....
I love the sales, if there's a game I want and it's quite an old game then I tend to wait for it to get put on sale, when it does, assuming it has come down to a low enough price point I'll buy it. So if 1 £20 game that I wanted was reduced to £18 I might leave if, if it drops to 50% or lower then I'll get it.
