How are sales shitty ?? or is it just in your book that anything related to Valve is shitty no matter what it is ?

I may get some copies of CSGO.

It's the same old crap every time, yet people treat Valve like saints for giving the same old crap. Summer sale isn't even the cheapest. GOG, GMG, Origin and Amazon come up with sales that are better value but do we ever talk about those?

Nope. This place is a "valve can do no wrong" echo chamber. They have shitty sales with shitty "Free 2 pay" business practices with shitty customer service.

For so called "mustard race" members, people sure are quick to defend a shitty service.

Exactly this.

Plus he didn't say Steam is shitty, he said its always the same old shit on sale which is certainly true.

Show me on this forum people doing this.

I've been phrasing GOG so long but they just don't have new games and much of AAA games so a lot of people aren't interested.

And better value ?? how do you define better value ?

Nope. This place is a "valve can do no wrong" echo chamber. They have shitty sales with shitty "Free 2 pay" business practices with shitty customer service.

I guess you missed it when people were raging about them making mods purchasable, Valve can do wrong and as far as I've seen on this forum and reddit people actually call out Valve.

Shitty customer service I can't judge on that ( so many people complaining about it ) but from my experience it's been good so far.

For so called "mustard race" members, people sure are quick to defend a shitty service.

I don't think steam is shitty despite it having DRM, I get their cloud service, playing with friends is easy as fuck, exploring new games is great and I actually found games that turned out to be good IMO, and one of the most important things to me I can buy a game and it will be in my account and I will be able to play it when ever I want where ever I want.

Sure their service can be made better but being called shitty is over exaggerating and wrong IMHO.

I won't buy another game from Steam, customer service is piss poor and greenlight is a trash heap. I prefer a more reputable source for my games. 

Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything.

Only games on my wish list are Black Mesa and Killing Floor 2. Hope they go on sale

 

Considering KF2 is still in EA, and was only launched in April I believe it would only go up from this point rather than getting a discount.

Haven't been excited for a Steam sale in years. These days its all shit games reduced by shit amounts, G2A beats any Steam sale and that's available all year round.

 

This.

 

This "cheap games on Steam!" meme needs to end.

The sales are rarely interesting to me, the only games I'll pick up are games below $5 that I've heard of and seen gameplay of, or games I previously owned on console so why not?

 

I might see if I can pick up DiRT, I haven't owned it but I'm interested in it.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Time to buy seven new CS:GO accounts. And refuse to play on them until the impending VAC wave a week after the sale.

Oh, I wasn't aware of this platform. What is it, how does it work and it is reliable ?

Encouraged a friend to buy his Win 8 key from there and I've bought the Mass Effect series through there likewise. You pay via Paypal (other payment forms offered too) and they email you the key with download instructions.

It couldn't be any easier tbh and I've yet to have any issues.

Have fun guys! I'm skipping out this year. I'm saving up for a new ultra high end PC this year ("Gaming" laptop is dying out after 3 years of service :(, but it gives me a reason to get away from laptop gaming to desktop gaming).

 

Talking about summer sale. Which sale offers the major discounts? Summer or Winter? Probably going to skip both, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Better load up, request more hours etc. Maybe get a second job to afford the hard drive and case I'll need to just install new games.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

My wallet should be fine.

Not very much I want to buy and I have plenty of games in my backlog to keep me busy.
