....oh no

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Oh god why.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

More games I will buy in hopes I will have time to enjoy them at a future date

 

[SunnyD]

Oh god why.

Because Amazon is doing it.

 

[dpodblood]

Oh god. My credit card!!!

 

[bunnyfubbles]

yeah I just have too huge a backlog of games to play and that's on top of my Bad Company 2 addiction

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

lol i actually have this game but never installed it yet. got it during another steam sale

 

[nyker96]

you mean guard your wallet ;]

 

[zinfamous]

I don't know about you, but I do massage my wallet from time to time.

 

[Kabob]

I foresee lots of foreclosed homes due to the owners purchasing too many Steam games...

Cocaine addictions are probably cheaper.

 

[Lonyo]

So is only buying games you might actually play.
Buying trash games just because they are on sale is dumb since you probably won't play it before the next time it's on sale for even less, if you play it at all.

No, he meant gird. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gird

Ugg I hate Steam, I really do. Now I know how it is to be like a chick addicted to shopping.

 

[Texashiker]

Oh god why.

Probably to compete with places like Direct2Drive.

On Easter day Direct2Drive had a special going where Brink was on sale for 25% off for 24 hours. What did Steam have? Nothing. Steam did not even have Brink on the typical 10% special for pre-order.

And its not just Brink, here lately D2D has been blowing steam away in the sales department on just about everything.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE I JUST STARTED THE SUMMER SEMESTER!

 

[sigurros81]

I've begin to notice this the inverse relationship between how many Steamsale games I buy vs. how much time I spend playing said games.

 

[KaOTiK]

/burns credit card

 

[stahlhart]

And I just picked up SS:SE HD on Friday, as a reminder of how easy it is. Gabe is a crack dealer.

"Didn't I kick your ass a couple of rooms back?!"

[Bateluer]

Snap.

 

[Obsy]

i'd uninstall Steam so i wouldn't see any of the sales, but then how would i be able to play my backlog of ~70 games

 

[mingsoup]

Gives me something to look forward to *each* and *every* day instead of just bi-weekly sprinkled with massive bi-annual lOvE.

 

[drizek]

so...

Should I buy flashpoint?

Please say no, please say no, please say no.
