The Steam specials thread

[Graal]

Anyone reckon they'll have an encore day? Still a few previous sales I'm hoping will come around again.

 

[Graal]

Is anyone else having the issue where if you access the Steam community or Greenlight through your web browser, it brings up the web pages in what I suspect is Swedish? Been happening to me for about the last two weeks and it's annoying as fuck, as I can't read anything.

Nope. Just checked, seems fine. But... I did "remove everything from the beginning of time" yesterday in chrome.

I see Darkspore is less 75% today.... worth it?

Malice - stop buying games Rather gimme the money

 

[Graal]

I dunno. A friend of mine bought it a few years back and he had a nightmare of a time trying to activate it. He ended up asking for a refund simply because he couldn't get it working and EA couldn't offer him any solutions.

I can't help it, the specials, they summon me!

yeah that sounds like a no then. Torchlight will keep me busy enough for the next couple of weeks

Plenty of better alternatives to Darkspore. So good call there.

I have high hopes for UBER x-mas specials *twisted*

some nasty credit card depleters

Didn't the dates for the Christmas special already leak?

 

[McT]

My Christmas wish would be for Far Cry 3 @ 75% off

I'll be angry if that happens

Watch, I foresee this epic special

 

[MOnk]

Unlikely. If it does go on special I don't see it going more than 25%, which would still make cheaper to buy local retail.

 

[JP'S]

@malice I had it.... Its SHIT repetitive to say the least

/Checks steam profile for addiction level.

That's pretty sad. Last year June the exchange rate was only R6.50. Those were great days.

I did say "wish"

Got a special on controller friendly games for the launch of Steam "big picture", bringing steam to your PC with it's horrible horrible console interface.

Big Picture mode is absolutely stunning. It's better than both the Xbox and PS3's interface in my opinion.
I've been using it since it's been in Beta, I absolutely love it.
