Valve are just trolling now, 50% off a game that is only ?6. If i dont at least win my wishlist im gonna cry.

At least?! Do you have any idea how many people are doing this? You'd have to be insanely lucky.

And, to repeat, these are all FREE gifts. There's no reason to bitch over something that's free to you.

Valve don't have to be doing any of this. Hell, they don't even have to have a holiday sale at all. All of this is just extra content you would not have had anyway. I would be grateful they're giving away anything at all.

Spare me the lectures, sick of all this Valve lovefest were you cant say anything bad about them.

The 'sales' are just a huge scam to get loads of people to buy games that normally they wouldnt even think of purchasing by offering them at a discounted price with incentive that they might win something if they complete objectives.

What do you win, vouchers that you can only use on the Steam store.

Ive said it once and ill say it again, if it was Activision or EA who did this everyone would be raging at them.

You're right. I hate discounts as well. I would rather just not have these "scams" and pay full price for everything.

Your argument makes no sense. What's the big deal? Everyone wins. They make some money and you get a cheap game. Not everything can be handed to you.

No. It's not about this being a 'Valve lovefest' (which this thread isn't). Ayepecks and giantpotato quite rightly complained about your sense of entitlement - 'If i dont at least win my wishlist im gonna cry'? Spoilt brat.

I'm glad I got a 50% off coupon for LA: Noire since I plan on purchasing that game soon, that means I will only pay $25 instead of the full price at $50. I've also gotten some free games out of it even though I already had the games, I was either able to gift them or trade for something I wanted.

Um it was a tongue in cheek reply, i know i dont have a cat in hells chance of winning anything let alone my wishlist. Just annoys me how people on reddit are getting top games like Skyrim and when i buy games to complete objectives i get coal or discounts for games ive already got.

Has anyone played Anomaly? That alien invasion tower defense type of game? It looks interesting, but I haven't heard anything about it.

It's fantastic. It's reverse tower defense, basically. If you love those kinds of games, get it.

Weird I just got nimbus from 7 coal as well, sick of the vouchers though I have a 50% off a game worth ?2, games I've got so far are Shadow grounds, dwarfs and Nimbus about the only coupon I have which could be any good is 50% off Fallout 3.

Here is what I'm trading. Let me know if anyone is interested in anything.

Half-Life 2

Blocks that Matter

50% off Mafia II

50% off CyanWorlds games (The Myst series)

50% off Amnesia

25% off THQ games

I also have 1 each of these steam keys for trade:

Humble Indie Bundle 1: World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Penumbra: Overture, Lugaru HD, Samorost 2

Humble Indie Bundle 2: Braid, Machinarium, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans

Humble Frozenbyte Bundle: Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor

Also, some of these bundles contain games that are good for the winter achievements (Atom Zombie Smasher, And yet It Moves, (Possibly Trine, Revenge of the Titans in the future))

I'm looking for games or coal.

Do you want to trade Rock of Ages? What would you be looking for in return?

Hey, I just noticed while I was writing a recommendation to get the objective (shame it isn't retroactive) that Chime is on sale at 50% off, so it's ?1.99 at the moment. If anyone here hasn't got it yet, go buy it now. It's a great little musical puzzle game, and it's for a good cause (the proceeds go to charity). :)
