Steam Summer Sales

[Lemur]

It has begun.

Or as I like to think of this time of year, 'Tis the season when Steam tempts Lemur into spending way too much money on games he does not need.

"What's that? A Klingon-themed platformer with transsexual squids? And it's only $2? How can I not buy it?"

[Gregoshi]

The Steam Store is experiencing some heavy load right now. Please try again later.

Yeah, it is on...

[Lemur]

Yep. Good. Keep me the hell away from these sales. I'm amazed by how quickly rational thought leaves my brain, and I start gibbering about how I can't afford NOT to buy it at that price!

[Xiahou]

Anyone played "Don't Starve"? That appeals to me most out of what I currently see on sale.

Also, if I see Prison Architect go on sale I may have to buy that....

[TinCow]

Vote for Dishonored for the next sale. I need to pick that up and $10 is an appealing price.

Dont starve is a fantastic little game thats worth its full price. On sale it is more than worth it and you would be a fiend not to purchase it.

It seems like they don't want me to buy stuff; I always get this message:

There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

Contacting support turns out to be a very frustrating experience, with the pages loading sloooooo...w.

Meh. For the first time, I'm an unsatisfied Steam customer.

[Xiahou]

Grrr... Ok, I gotta see if I can scrape up some money for that. My budget hasn't been so good this month since I bought that tablet...

[LeftEyeNine]

Definitely yes. While you're at it get the whole collection, it's <$20 for 9 games.

Nah. Not that interested in such aged series with mediocre-to-failure titles here and there. I'd rather use my money up on the useless DLCs of the latest one.

Thanks for answers though. Not missing it next time.

I am not sure what the rave about Prison Architect is. It looks interesting and it is by the team who did Darwinia and Uplink, two games I loved when I was younger, but it is completely outpriced itself. The full game without discount should be £7, on par with Reus or Faster than Light opposed to £14 'on sale'.

It's a much more colorful and eye friendly version of Dwarf Fortress with a separate theme. There's a considerable appeal there but I still agree that it's much too expensive for a game that isn't finished yet.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

but then again I did pay full price for Crusader Kings II!

Well, CK2 is a different kettle of fish. It isn't a low budget indy game, such as this. I understand why there might be some appeal to the game, I don't see why it isn't priced similar to Reus for example, it is that sort of quality (Well, should be, when completed).

I loved Prison Architect (and paid full price for it), as long as you think of it as a sandbox after you get everything set up and running. Paying in on the ground floor with a constantly-expanding Alpha and a great Dev team that guarantees me the full copy on release is something that I am willing to do.
