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)

[quote name='Mooby']Yeah couldn't manage to get the Stardock pack to load -- any idea what else was in that?[/QUOTE]

Believe it was Galactic Civilization I/II Ultimate Editions, Fallen Enchantress, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, Political Something Something, and something else?
 
[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]

Did you manage to actually buy it?
 
[quote name='Frithsblessing']Where are the keys on that site?[/QUOTE]

go to my shelf -> all games -> then click on the game, and on the right there should be a button to show serial code
 
[quote name='ashoskitty']

You should not wait. Try to get it for $7.50 in a 4-pack. Steam group buy thread is here. If not it's well worth $10 (and I feel worth full (low) price of $20).
[/QUOTE]

VERSUS

[quote name='Cantetus']For me, I think it's just a matter of learning my lesson. Too many times I've jumped on a sale, thinking it was a great deal, but the game ends up on my backlog and inevitably goes on sale for much cheaper before I get around to actually playing it. [/QUOTE]

I'm with the 2nd quote for now. I still haven't finished Torchlight 1. Every so often, I go back, figure out how my character works again, and then do a couple very similar levels where I'm assaulting renowned Giant Spiders in their homes while they're trying to have dinner or something until I'm reasonably sure I'm actually the villain, and then put it down for a few months.
 
[quote name='kataztrophik']go to my shelf -> all games -> then click on the game, and on the right there should be a button to show serial code[/QUOTE]

Thank you. I have a confirmation email for the purchase, but no games on my shelf.
 
[quote name='slainviper']Did you manage to actually buy it?[/QUOTE]

Still trying.

They have buy 3 get one free but you can't buy more than two of any one thing so I tried for two Beths and Two Stardocks.
 
I just got an email order confirmation despite not even making it past the checkout. I don't have my credit card on the site and I didn't login to PayPal.
 
I think the Stardock collection was : Demigod, Fallen Enchantress, Galactic Civilization 1 and 2, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, and Political Machine 2012 all for $25.

I'm working on getting my 2nd bundle on my cart right now (already have 2 bethesda bundles) to try to get Motoki's plan working :) I have most of the Bethesda games but I know several friends who would want them and are not at the computer right now!
 
Bit on that bethesda pack even though I own some of it. Best deal I've seen in a long time.

Only took me the last 30 minutes to check out.
 
[quote name='Syntax Error']Bah, went through Paypal and died :cry:[/QUOTE]
Same exact thing for me. Decided to go for it, and now just continually reloading the page as it times out.
 
[quote name='Tsel']I just got an email order confirmation despite not even making it past the checkout. I don't have my credit card on the site and I didn't login to PayPal.[/QUOTE]

I got it too with an email link to my order but of course I can't get it to load.
 
[quote name='Frithsblessing']GG is getting hammered like my uncle at Christmas dinner.[/QUOTE]

That's funny.

I made it to paypal confirmation and Oops! Maybe it went through.
 
[quote name='imac2much']I think the Stardock collection was : Demigod, Fallen Enchantress, Galactic Civilization 1 and 2, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, and Political Machine 2012 all for $25.

I can confirm those are the games in the Stardock pack, I have the page loaded.
 
[quote name='MC Kage']Does anyone that has Vegas or Ghost Recon AW know if a wired 360 controller works or not?[/QUOTE]
Anyone?

& yeah GG is down. Dishonored, Oblivion/Morrowind, Fallout: NV were all on my list.
 
[quote name='Tsel']I just got an email order confirmation despite not even making it past the checkout. I don't have my credit card on the site and I didn't login to PayPal.[/QUOTE]
Same here! The site is dead.
 
Creys! I can't even load the page itself. Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So non UKers/overseas people can buy this? (well, should the site be back up).
 
[quote name='SpartenOmega117']is stardock a good game? How much does that bundle usually go for?[/QUOTE]

Sins of a Solar Empire are space sims and generally highly regarded. Fallen Enchantress is a fantasy sim and it's quite good imho.

Political machine is kind of a silly (and dated now) election sim.

Demigod is not bad and neither is galactic civ but they are a bit older.
 
I highly doubt my order went through. I didn't have the option to log into paypal. I'm trying to check the status of my payment, but no luck.

edit: just checked my paypal history and nothing went through. Damn, I'm probably going to miss out on this deal.
 
Now I'm just refreshing my tabs and whipping them for their insolence when they come back empty handed before sending them off again.

"Back!! Back in the mines with you and don't dream of coming out without the Bethesda pack!!"
 
Yeah I went to eat dinner with my family and come back to see at least 5 new pages. I knew something crazy was up. I would have bought that pack if the site were still functional.
 
I thought I was disappointed at Steam's "sales" thus far. It's going to take something crazy to perk me up now. Oh well, there's always Mission Runway...

...and that's pretty much all I wa... OMG, ARE YOU fuckING KIDDING ME??? WHAT'S THIS BETHESDA COLLECTION?????? OMG, OGM, MGO, PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME, GAMERSGATE!!!!1!!1!!! :hot::hot::hot:
 
[quote name='bloodling']I don't get it, why would they sell it so cheap? I can't imagine they're making profit at that price.[/QUOTE]

Everything about this bundle points to price mistake
 
I've got an extra key for Metro 2033 up for grabs:
3AY92-WIKNB-63337

Edit: No more Homefront, Red Faction Guerilla or Space Marine.
