I really enjoy Super Hexagon as much as the next guy, but why the heck would you vote for it for a special price!? The game was 50 cents. You can't even buy a pack of Winterfresh gum for the amount of money that you save with it being on sale!

I already have the game on Android, hated it, wanted to try it again for the least possible sum.
For penance, I bought a 2-pack.

I have to say that the Xbox holiday sale is giving the Steam sale a run for its money this year. I think I've spent more on the Xbox side so far.

What is up with these votes?

Tell me about it....why the f would you vote for a game that's already less than $1????????
Are people that f-ing cheap? I don't even understand how you "play" that hexagon game. It looks so damn stupid.

I'm guilty of purchasing that Hexagon game just now... it was $0.29! Twenty nine cents!!!

Will report back if I don't get my money's worth

$2 for Sacrifice. One of the most creative game ever made on the PC.

Worth it just for the excellent voice acting alone: big names such as Tim Curry, Jennifer Hale, and Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond).

Come on Steam, give me a Christmas present of 25% off Starbound! Fingers crossed.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a Valve game as either part of a daily deal or a flash sale.....at least that I can recall.

I was thinking about your post last night, and this is what I came up with.

In an effort not to compete with other developers valve is not pushing their own products. Valve is not pushing their games in an effort to give other developers as much face time as possible.

Except that this is not true. Just check the first page of this thread and you will find Valve games as Daily Deals/Flash Sales.

Outside of Counter Strike, Valve has not put anything else up as a flash/daily/community deal

Should have paid more attention this sale. Great opportunity to stock up games, as I realize paying full price for a lot is very expensive.

I just wish call of duty ghosts could come down, the COD games never do, and as such I haven't played one since black ops lol.

Yeah, Counter Strike, they give it one spot in the deals section but have them all on sale (Garry's Mod gets lumped in with them most the time though it isn't a Valve game).

It is no different than when Bioshock Infinite goes on sale and Bioshock 1 and 2 are as well, or any other franchise for that matter.

It seems that Left 4 Dead 2 free offer brought the Steam servers down.

When Steam Store page loads, on the Community's Choice I get this:

Community’s Choice voting has ended.
Experiencing voting withdrawal? You can still rate up content on the Community Hubs and vote for games on Greenlight.

Interesting.

Servers are borked right now due to free LFD2, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
