Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

How do you stop Steam from remembering your credit card info going forward without making a purchase?

@Swiket - If that is true, please let it come to Mac users as well!

E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy is the daily deal, going for half-price at $10. The game IS Deus Ex, only in the Source Engine and made by people who are French. Which means it's freaking awesome. BUY IT.

Dang I already own Portal 2 and I don't want DOTA 2. Oh well, can't complain about free games.

Good point.

Eh, I don't need more free games anyways.

Oh, and FFXI Ultimate Collection Abyssea edition is on sale for $10. Be sure to grab it boys and girls.

It looks like Valve might be trying to get Steam support for Wii U, and EA is trying as well. http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=166249&sid=1...

@Xkhaoz I suspected this might happen. Nintendo doesn't really know much about online services, so they're going to let everybody else duke it out and choose the company that comes out victorious. Although if anything, I really hope that Valve is the winner, since they know how to do online distribution and how to do it really well.

I would buy a Wii U day one if it had Steam support.

I'd hope Steam wins. Steam is awesome beyond awesome, hacked or not.
My favorite thing? The prices of downloadable games actually go down after a year or two. Unlike on WiiWare
Or they give you a full game for free over a weekend. Awesome. They duped me on Sanctum and a couple of other games that way. Not like that would work with Zelda or anything, which you can beat in a weekend and you're essentially done with it, but with games that are a blast on mutiplayer, that you would pay for the full game so you could continue to play it with your friends. Beats any demo. Love Steam, gonna keep using them as long as they're around.
Not that I haven't had my frustrations with them, but it's maybe once a year something. Like getting New Vegas 2 days early and not being able to play it, or not being able to play single-player games offline. Or their clunky achievement system (Microsoft beats them on that one).
Anyways, if Nintendo doesn't support Steam, they could at least learn from them..Steam has a great UI, multitasks properly, has fair prices, and lets you add voice chat to games that don't support it natively.
Like it, love it, want some more of it

If Nintendo admitted that they're not good at online services and let Valve at least partially handle their online store for them, I would be so happy.

Congratz on getting over 2500 posts.

@Mickeymac Thanks. I guess this just goes to show the power of Steam.

EDIT: Or rather, the awesomeness of Valve.

Or the power of good deals XD

so... I just got Steam last night (I know, way too late on this train) and tried some demos (Portal, Arkham Asylum, Bioshock, all great games), and will probably get those once I have money, as well as some CoD and L4D, anyone know of any other good games that might have escaped my radar?

@YashaTheSlayer One of my personal favorites is Sanctum. It's basically a tower-defense game where you get to shoot enemies from a first-person perspective during each wave. Also, VVVVVV is immensely awesome as well as being a bit frustrating (the game has also got a stellar soundtrack to boot). If you're not quite into actions games and want something of a deeper experience (pun may-or-may-not be intended), you could always try the extremely terrifying Amnesia: The Dark Descent. There's really something for everyone on Steam.

Also, you may want to wait to buy some games since Steam has massive sales where almost everything is 50-75% off, meaning that you can get fairly new games for really cheap.

Many. You need to help us a bit. 'Course, they tend to get pointed out as they go on sale.

@Yasha Team Fortress 2 is free and one of my favorite games.

Well I guess it depends on how badly you want the game. But I wouldn't buy a game AT ALL until it goes on sale, due to the frequency of the sales.

I miss playing TF2 online D:
