Steam

Concept »

Steam is a digital distribution service owned by Valve. Originally created to distribute its own games, Steam has since expanded to become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games, and supports community features, downloadable content and achievements. Starting 2010, Steam now offers Mac games as well.

These Steam Sales are Terrible

I don't get how everyone is saying that Steam has good deals. Look at these:

YOU GET NOTHING!
 
GOOD DAY, SIR!

#3 Posted by valrog (3670 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Because you haven't voted for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings yet.

I miss Sir Roderick's letters...

I'm guilty. I stared at the image for a minute and still didn't see the problem.

Steam doesn't like you. It's racist.

I bought Mafia II because I love Mafia II. I hope they put The City of Lost Heaven up for next to nothing as well. I'll vote for The Witcher 2 as well, even though it isn't really going to run on my system (GT220 ;___;).

#11 Posted by captain_max707 (424 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

It's the first day. Can't start the show with a show stopper. 

#12 Posted by DonutFever (3032 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

GUYS READ THE THREAD

#13 Posted by TaliciaDragonsong (8671 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Never satisfied.

#14 Posted by Viking_Funeral (1111 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

I'll admit, I thought it was a generic complaint thread before I started reading the other comments.

#15 Posted by FateOfNever (1675 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

I feel as if the joke part of this thread wouldn't have been lost had he simply posted the picture larger than what he did. At its current size it's really easy to miss the 0% on everything.

Yep, I would have if you hadn't posted this.

#17 Posted by probablytuna (2628 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Damn it, I just bought Mafia II as part of a 2 for $40 deal at Ozgameshop. Curse you Steam! Why didn't you start the sale sooner!

#18 Posted by Milkman (14224 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Looks like some killer deals to me.

#23 Posted by hughesman (280 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Ha! yeah i opened up steam and it was a bunch of 0% discounts and games not available in my region. I refreshed the page to see the normal steam goodness. Already bought Legend of grimrock and saints row the third. :D

Yah fucking assholes, WITCHER 2 WAS THE MOST LOGICAL CHOICE. you can get sr3 in THQ pack if ur interested in any warhammer game for way better deal.

#26 Posted by Getz (2894 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

I got the joke but it wasn't funny.

#27 Posted by Echofoxz (98 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Today's deals are only okay because I already own most of the games on sale today.

#28 Posted by Nightriff (2951 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

@theveej: Fuck steam users, they cost me like 8 bucks because they wanted a purple dildo, assholes.

#29 Posted by Ghost_Cat (1057 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

I feel like an idiot.

#30 Posted by Marz (5475 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

#31 Posted by C_Rakestraw (747 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

Zero percent off? How could you not want to jump those amazing deals?!

#33 Posted by demonbear (1832 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

there was so much hype coming to that summer sale, I think people actually expected free games. Seriously guys. Its the first day. Chillax will ya? Still bought the Bethsoft pack and Terraria so, great day for me! :d

#34 Posted by grayfox1210 (193 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

You do realize it's only the first day and will be going on for 19 more, right? Stop getting your panties in a twist.

#35 Posted by TwoArmed (96 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

@demonbear: @grayfox1210: Look at the image again... He's not actually "upset" about anything.

#36 Posted by grayfox1210 (193 posts) - 11 months, 7 days ago

The Witcher 2 is still 40% off. Going to wait and see if the 60% offer comes up again. If not, then I will get it at 40% off which is still a great deal.

#38 Posted by CH3BURASHKA (4043 posts) - 11 months, 6 days ago

Stupid Steam, not giving me games for the prices I want... These sales aren't good enough!

#39 Posted by Korwin (1729 posts) - 11 months, 6 days ago

Picked up the SEGA pack. Big Bo on a Budget.

#40 Posted by AndrewB (6919 posts) - 11 months, 6 days ago

Just wait until it starts going into the positive percentages.

#41 Posted by Akyho (1165 posts) - 11 months, 6 days ago

I dont know.@AndrewB said:

Wait until they go into the negatives! Then the steam sales will be more awesome than 0%!!!

#42 Posted by Xymox (1755 posts) - 11 months, 6 days ago

Seems about right. I remember trying Gothic 1-3... If they pay me 20 pounds, I'll totally play them again. Sorry to anyone who really likes Gothic. I just couldn't get into it.
