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)

  • The Ball (bought @D2D, tested by voken)
  • Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (gives both FA and original, bought @amazon, tested by vism)

Seriously, could sell off Oblivion, Morrowind, and the Fallouts for like $15. $15 then for Skyrim, Dishonored, and those other wacky games, hah.

Man I even had the friggen paypal page up at one point. I guess I should have just straight used a card but I always paid paypal with them and don't trust the bank not to deny an international sale.
 
[quote name='The End']Holy shit, I got it.

Neuro5i5 = CAG of the year[/QUOTE]

:bow:

I'm just here to help...


...and apparently to also try and take down GG's website.
 
If you guys are felling lucky, you can use coupon code IAMANELDERGEEK for an extra 5% off. Got this from the SD thread, so credit goes to them.
 
Got an email receipt from PayPal for the Bethesda collection. Still loading, though.

Strange thing is that it didn't show me the confirmation screen with price before charging me. At least the price was honored, though.
 
[quote name='imac2much']Hey Motoki, where did you read that we can get 2 of each bundle and get another one free?[/QUOTE]
they are having a buy 3 get 1 free sale right now
 
[quote name='imac2much']Hey Motoki, where did you read that we can get 2 of each bundle and get another one free?[/QUOTE]

their standard buy 3 get 4th free promo thats been running all holiday sale
 
Yes that's why I was trying to get 2 Bethesda packs and 2 Stardock packs. Got one free and used eldergeek for 5% off one. I was so close too. Even got the Paypal screen.

[quote name='wuxbustah8']I went all the way through, even through paypal, and then on the way back from paypal, poof :([/QUOTE]


Same for me. I have like 16 windows open for GG too and no joy for any of them but one got REALLY close.
 
You know, I just can't stay mad at Gamersgate. They take away our "permanent" IGN discount, they don't give us steam keys for games in indies bundles that promised steam keys for, then they do something like this...

I love you Gamersgate. Let's never fight again.
 
Haha... even as the server slowly claws its way through a hundred-thousand simultaneous buy requests, my souls screams "You could be betting 5% off this if you bought blue coins first!"
 
[quote name='Motoki']Did anyone get the Stardock one with Fallen Enchantress and a bunch of other stuff for $25?[/QUOTE]

Are you thinking that's a price mistake? It says 75% off so that doesn't seem that out of place.

I for sure got one of the Bestesda packs. Might be able to get a second. Not going to bother trying codes or B3G1 promo.

You love them so much that you and all your friends DDoS their asses.

It's definitely a mistake. Fallen Enchantress and SoaSE: Rebellion by Stardock were both 75% earlier today, then GG changed them to 50%

I had a few tabs open, but closed down to just one. Somehow in my mind my 3 extra tabs were bogging it down lol.

Used that code on buying blue coins too, ended up getting 2 bundles for about 25 each
 
[quote name='Syntax Error']Haha... even as the server slowly claws its way through a hundred-thousand simultaneous buy requests, my souls screams "You could be betting 5% off this if you bought blue coins first!"[/QUOTE]

Haha! I'm so cheap I even tried putting in the 5% off IAMANELDERCHEAPASS coupon...

...which of course never went through anyway 'cause the site is hosed.
 
[quote name='Mooby']Yeah couldn't manage to get the Stardock pack to load -- any idea what else was in that?[/QUOTE]

You know, I'll be honest I saw Fallen Enchantress and a long list of other stuff and I just hit buy. :p
 
[quote name='Motoki']You know, I'll be honest I saw Fallen Enchantress and a long list of other stuff and I just hit buy. :p[/QUOTE]

Hah. I definitely have my eye on that -- just not wild about the rest of their stuff.
 
I was going to try and get a second pack, but I still can't get the site to completely load again. Oh well, I'll try anyway.

Maybe I should shut down RxCxDietrich's live stream....
