I see they also have the Tropico 4 Collector's Bundle package up for just 8€ containing all the DLC's with the game. That's a lot more fun than the latest Sim City. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/19282/
I think I've spent more money on this Steam Sale than I ever have in any prior sale. OMG, I've spent a lot. :dead:
Not me, I'm holding on to my money tight and I haven't bought anything yet! I already own a few games that I intend to but haven't gotten round to playing properly yet: Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row The Third, Splinter Cell Conviction, Serious Sam 3, Trine 2...
bought the kid about 10 games, still not bought anything for myself though might be the extreme heat sapping my energy, but I'm just not feeling inspired by anything
I wonder how Steam makes their profit on this sale, with prices being cut so dramatically? Do they have an arrangement with the publishers where twice a year they have some kind of amnesty from paying cost?
I think that they work on a percentage and that they certainly have some sort of agreement to allow the drops (I believe that all of the prices, even the ones during sales, are determined by the publishers). And I think that they do this for good reason. Drop a price on a game that the gamers have more or less forgot about, and you can generate a nice number of sales. And since it's all digital, it's all profit. Therefore, 100,000 copies at $5 a piece sold in two weeks beats 10,000 copies at $20 sold over several months. Add the buying frenzy that people get into, buying games that they will never really get round to playing... I'm holding on to my money tight this particular time, but, generally speaking, while my games spending averages around $10 per month, during these events, it can significantly spike thanks to a number of smaller purchases that simply add up. So I'm guessing that these sales are vastly profitable for all sides.
It still looks as though im still going to go through this sale. I have either: A) Got B) Not Interested

Not sure what you like, but the gems that have come on sale so far that you might like would be Gunpoint, Fez, and The Swapper. I already had the non-Steam version of Gunpoint, so I bought it again as the guy is supposedly working on a Steam Workshop tie-in... meaning no more hunting for extra levels. Also, while not Steam Sale related, you might want to look at pre-ordering Shadowrun: Returns that's coming out next Thursday (someone is already working on a complete conversion for the SNES version of the game).

IMO Saints Row the Third is a version of GTA on steroids, I found it awesome, you should play it RIGHT NOW
You know, I might just do that! This sale got me interested into trading cards and that nudged me to fire up Saints Row and it looks like fun. The thing is that Sleeping Dogs also look fun and kind of similar (although Saints Row is much more over the top and Sleeping Dogs has a more serious feel), so I'm kind of split between the two. :lol:

Haven't played Sleeping Dogs, but I don't need to to agree with you, Saints Row is way over the top, very little seriousness, completely goofy and crazy, but it's awesome, I played the entire campaign, I was never bored, I even did some plain goofing around firing at everything in coop with my brother, that's how much fun I found it :rofl:
