I don't think there's a game that I'd really want to get at the moment. Maybe Hard West and Bioshock. I usually buy few rouge like games that catch my eye.

I love the Steam summer sale. I buy more games I still don't have time to play but lie to myself that I will eventually get around to.

I just got Life is Feudal from Humble Bundle, and ARMA 3 is already half off. Not sure what I would get. Maybe DayZ if the price drops low enough.

sprry I tried to save ya. Good luck I guess at 5$ it would be ok. You can only play 2 races you need the 2 expansions aswell chaos is one and imperal guard is the other. Then you can buy skins for 5$ each, then you can play online lol.

Agreed.

Why not beef up the servers to account for heavier traffic?

Some games I've been looking at:
Kerbal Space Program
The Culling
Sims 3 (Yes, even though it's a DLC gateway, mods still make the base game fun)
Golf With Your Friends
Dead Island
Stranded Deep

I probably won't get all of them, but it's nice go see the majority of those games are already on sale. I'll wait before I do any buying though, because I don't want to throw my money away off the bat, and because I might get a better deal later on in the sale.

It looks like they're trying something different this year. Usually they have nearly everything marked down somewhat, and then each day they'll have several games that are more deeply discounted - but only on that day (and again on the last day). But based on what I can see, it looks like they're not doing the usual daily discounts. Instead, it's one price throughout.

There are some good discounts for certain games... except that people have probably already purchased those games. For instance, Fallout 4 is 50% off. Battlefleet Gothic is 33% off. And Doom is 40% off. But with the possible exception of Doom (which was released just over a month ago), people who are interested in those games probably already have them.

There is not this idea.

I got 17 cents. Any games on sale out there for 17 cents?

I was kind of joking but then I remembered that there sometimes are games for similar prices on steam. Terrible, terrible games.

I know I have both Fallout 4 and BFG:A on my wishlist, waiting for the sale. The question I had was if I should grab them now, or wait for deeper sales. If they are not doing the daily deals, makes it an easier call.

Of course, I still need to decide where I want to spent my entertainment budget. Video games or mins?

I'm thinking about Stardew Valley (since it is 40% off), but its not like I need more electronic crack to keep me from painting my plastic crack. I'm also considering Elite: Dangerous and Kerbal Space Program. Plenty of cool games out there. I would also consider Stellaris except they have hardly marked it down at all.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

I haven't been interested in the steam summer sale in a long time, but this one around, I got quite a few. Doom (like 40% off for an almost new game), BFG, mordheim, this war of mine, kerbal space program, soma, and shadow warrior.

Even a couple more I'm potentially interested in, but I have to say, pretty good sales (40-50% off mostly) on decent games I've had an eye on. I can't complain.

Pretty sure it's been that way since they introduced the refund policy. Saves people buying something, then asking for a refund when the sale price becomes better during the sale. Now everything has 1 sale price and that's it.
