Isn't there a new Steam sale until Summer?

It feels so strange now to see nealy all games with regular prices. I'm glad I filled my catalouge up with many good games. I hope I can grab XCOM + expansion for a good price in the coming months though. And from April and a few months forward it should all about Elder Scrolls Online and Dark Souls 2 for me (purchase at full price).

Maybe a spring sale around April

Steam has daily and weekly deals as well. Also there are plenty of other places where you can buy PC games for cheap year round. There is always somewhere with a sale going on. Most of the stores give Steam keys for most games (or Origin for EA games). Or they are DRM free like gog.com. There are several sites that track various online stores for example http://www.steamgamesales.com/ and http://www.cheapshark.com/. Greenmangaming usually has a 20-25% voucher that works for even new games and preorders. And of course there is the Humble bundle/store https://www.humblebundle.com/.

Gamersgate and Green manGaming have XCOM 75% off http://www.gamersgate.com/games?prio=relevance&q=XCOM   http://www.greenmangaming.com/search/?q=XCOM%3A+Enemy

I got "the Orange Box" for $9.99!

Half life 2 is soooo good!

Thanks for a very informative post. I will keep track of great deals with those tools you linked.

PC gamers are cheapskates. :P
Remember, never buy a game at full price, there is usually never a need as there is generally always a sale on somewhere!

Team Fortress 2...

Bought my first video game in 2 years.

The Stanley Parable.

I watched it on YouTube and thought it was pretentious and lame. But if you haven't experienced it yet, as a game (not that it's a game but I mean when you actually control the avatar and get a bit more immersed in the experience than just passively watching on YT)  it might feel kinda original I could imagine.

Tell us what you think.

Why u havtnt bought more games? Cuz u on a budget, or cos u play ur backlog or cos u really don't play much at all?

I didn't buy other games because Nintendo stopped making games I like and I never really liked the Western game industry. Also because League of Legends has yet to stop being entertaining, if I just need something to play or spectate.

I get that it's not really a game but I liked its ideas of  choice and interactive fiction. The writing was fun and there was no filler. I can definitely see why other people don't like it though.
