Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V6! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

With the V6 Thread, we're trying a slight formatting change. We used to list every possible Steam deal in the OP, but they change too frequently for anyone to keep up with (even in the Wiki format). So now, we'll leave regular minor sales out of the OP. This post will keep track of major sales (Winter sale, etc.), Steam deals available through other sellers (like Amazon), Preorder deals, and Group Buys.

I would still greatly appreciate help from you folks at home in keeping this smaller-scale OP up-to-date. This is a Wiki post so anyone can contribute. Wiki instructions:
Thanks for your help! If you notice a sale has ended, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see something does need to be added, then kindly add it to the list.

Make sure your changes match the thread's format! For example, every game that's on sale is part of an unordered list. When adding a game to the list, copy an existing line and update the link, title, and prices. That way, the format stays correct. Do not list percentages off! We list the original price and the sale price here. If you have any suggestions for major changes to the post/thread, PM me (EastX) about them.

Steam Sales - Updated 1/22


CAG Threads Featuring Steam Games on Sale Elsewhere - Updated 1/9


Preorder Deals - Updated 1/10
Group Buy Deals - Updated 1/9/13
Several multiplayer Steam games are available in 2-packs or 4-packs. These packs offer a discount over buying multiple copies of a game separately. We also maintain group buy trade threads for several games, so please use those threads if you're interested in setting up a group buy.


Free Stuff - List needs updating with F2P games!
There are several free games and mods on Steam. These are a few choice ones; you can find a full list here. Note that free games are not permanently attached to your Steam account like actual purchases would be. You'll need to manually download a game again from the website if you uninstall it.


Steam around CAG

If you are interested in joining the Steam CAG Community or participating in a trade or group buy with fellow Cheap Ass Gamers, please do so in the dedicated threads and not in the deal discussion thread. In the dedicated threads you will find CAGers with the same specialized interest who will be much quicker (and happier) to respond than in the Deals thread.

Past Special Sales

Visit www.steamgamesales.com to check previous sale prices on Steam games. We do keep track of some older sales here though:

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

Steam's explanation and list of Steam-activatable keys

The CD Key is a serial number with a combination of 13, 18, or 25 letters and numbers - it can be found on a sticker inside your game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card. The CD Key acts as your proof of purchase for the game - Steam Support may ask for it if you need to establish your ownership of an account. It is recommended that you keep your CD Key in a safe place to ensure the security of your account.

Other Keys that can be redeemed on Steam (CAG tested & verified)

Same. I mean I want to be doing a virtual dance and shooting up Mayan torsos crawling on the ground but somehow I don't think my work would approve.

I guess it all depends on where you work :D
 
My only real problem with the sale so far is that Steam is being incredibly stingy when it comes to DLC this year. I already had most of the big games that I wanted for this year but was hoping to pick up DLC for things like Borderlands 2, Dishonored and such. Also, if anyone is feeling generous .... can they put a hat on my avatar as well ? Starting to feel left out :cry:
 
[quote name='Motoki']Too bad you aren't my Steam friend (or at least under that name you aren't). You would have had a special 'gift' by now if you were...[/QUOTE]


Oh no you don't! Temptress!

*cough* Palinnn *cough*

That is just shameless.
 
Thought I might grab the CE Borderlands 2 DLC and Creature Slaughterdome DLC for half off on Steam but I just noticed they didn't discount any of the BL2 DLC at all. That is seriously wickity wickity wack! :(
 
is the Darksiders 2 DLC worth it?

I already have both games and since I won't get any extra copies I feel it might be a waste of money.

Since there's still one more DLC left in the season pass line-up, I wonder if there's a contractual agreement that stipulates individual DLC can't be price dropped until the whole season pass has been fulfilled.

I'll just wait to pick up the BL2 DLC when they release the first bit post-season pass which will also raise the level cap.

Get it from Amazon, you'll get all individual keys. That said, everything I've read suggests the DLC is pretty mediocre and fairly short.

To join the avatar bandwagon or not to join the avatar bandwagon? I'm not sure my avatar will work well with a Christmas theme.

I'm pretty confident mine won't.
 
[quote name='Wompdevil']Could I also get a Christmas theme avatar? I've been good this year![/QUOTE]

Please, can I get one either? Thanks!
 
There was no one online playing Revelations, so I started up a single campaign. It bombed so badly while loading I had to reset my laptop.

Those are 30% off on Greenman gaming if you use their 30% off voucher.

[quote name='aShufflinZombie']Do you guys think that the Bethesda Collection will go on sale at all?[/QUOTE]

Not likely. Seems that $89.99 is the "sale" price. Pfft!
