I hate Steam

[binvjoh]

Well no, I don't actually hate Steam. I do however have a big problem with whoever is responsible for picking the daily/weekly deals.

Why? Because he/she/it is a mind reading asshole. Just a couple hours ago a thought appeared in my head, "You know what game I want? Singularity". And what do you know, it's the deal today. This sort of thing has happened a disturbing amount of times now, leading to quite a few hits on my economy.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Edit: If it wasn't clear all already, I don't actually have a problem with it. "I hate Steam" was just a much more interesting title than "Sometimes things are on sale right when I want them to".

I'M NOT ACTUALLY MAD, BRO (Because apparently it wasn't obvious enough)

LOL! i'd never call that a real bad thing ;P

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

So you're angry because the games you want are the ones being sold as deals...
Um, right.

 

[Lukeje]

Why don't you just follow the golden rule of steam? Only ever buy things when they're on offer. Otherwise things like this happen...

Edit: apparently the OP'er is actually complaining that the prices on steam often make them impulse buy, something I can well sympathise with.

 

[ThePirateMan]

Naaah, they'd never do that to me.

*Hides the tears of a thousand missed deals*

Edit: Oh gash, I missread the OP. I thought he meant when you buy a game one day and then the next day it's on sale.

OP: Uh.. I'm usualy not that lucky.

Todays deal is majesty 2...wait...they change the game per region don't they...god dammit not again steam always gives the good deals to some other region dammit.

EDIT: Wait it is on sell its just a midweek sale...so now theres mid-week, summer, winter, and daily deals....at this rate I will own every game on steam...

Been there pal, I once bought Men at war for about £15
THE NEXT DAY They released Gold Edition of it, with Red Tide for about £10
I was livid.

 

[Gigatoast]

They always put stuff on sale about a week after I bought it for full price.

 

[JochemDude]

Wait let me get this straight, You hate Steam because it sells the games you want dirt cheap... Sense, you do not make.

Singularity for £6.80. Mmmmm ;D

 

[James Kortright]

I feel for you. I really didn't need to buy Dead Space the other day.... but it was just damn rude not to for 75% off.

Steam somehow know their way around my wallet, too.

He's on to us, quick, inform the council!

Once again, the first post sums up everyones reaction perfectly.

OP: You're mad because you get to pay less for a game that you want? You're not very smart, are you?

 

[Lukeje]

Todays deal is majesty 2...wait...they change the game per region don't they...god dammit not again steam always gives the good deals to some other region dammit.

Singularity for £6.80. Mmmmm ;D

I'm tempted, even though I've never heard of the game before. Damn you steam!

That is true, so much of my EMA money has gone on steam instead of things i need

Troll or just attentiong whore.

And you all posted.

I was just asking if anyone experiences the same thing now and then, the whole angry/hate thing is just a joke.

This. Buying a full priced game on Steam is like...doing something...really stupid...
