Steam Sale Bank Account damage so far

[kajinking]

Over $200 for me and it's only the 3rd day I think but luckily I have very few bills and just got a new job. I pray they run out of games I'm interested in long before the sale actually ends but knowing just how insane this thing can get I wouldn't be surprised if they posted Mass Effect 3 for $4.99 the last day just to kill what's left of my savings. How's everyone else's wallet holding up under this sale equivilent of a massed Zerg swarm?

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Heh naw, not here, but only because they drained me dry over xmas, and there's not been TOO much added since then that excites me and that I can afford... it's a poor patch for me at present, so need to be careful with my coinage

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

All of the games that I really want are games that I would never get on PC because of terrible DRM, like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Sadly this means that when I do get them for console I'll end up paying almost twice as much for them than if I got them at this steam sale.

Yikes!

$11 bucks for me. Got Knights of the Old Republic for $6.50 and Plants vs Zombies for $3.50.

I actually haven't gotten anything from the Steam sale, because I've gotten so many other games lately. I got Portal 2, Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 right before my school's exam period, so now I'm finally playing them. I also recently acquired Magic 2012, Resident Evil 2 (for PS1), and for my PS2 I re-acquired Summoner, Timesplitters 2, Flatout, and Shadow of the Colossus. I'm swimming in games, so getting anything from the Steam sale won't help. Other than From Dust this month, I'm not planning to buy anything else in the near future.

I'm saving most of my buying for the 10th. $40 on daily deals so far.

 

[MisterShine]

Heroes of Might and Magic V + Xpansions 2.50
Dark Messiah, HoMM 2:50
Stubbs the Zombie (gift) 2.50
Longest Journey (gift) 2.50
All of Just Cause 2 DLC 2.12
X3: Terran Conflict 5.00
Torchlight x2 (gifts) 6.00 total

So about 23 bucks so far.

However, this is only because I tend to buy my games a few months after release unless I REALLY want them, plus I've been on steam for a couple years so I've ridden these wild deals before.

Part II had the bad DRM, Brotherhood isn't that bad at all.

^^;; The actual prices ended in .66s or 79s, so it was actually more like 10.50ish... I rounded up. I don't remember exactly.

But yes, looking at it now, my math does look very odd. ^^;;

 

[onewheeled]

$3.98.

The only things I purchased so far were the Half-Life 2 Episodes. I'm waiting for what should be a CRAZY sale tomorrow, and the "best-of" thing that will inevitably happen on the 10th.

 

[teqrevisited]

I've spent about a tenner on Just Cause 2 and Super Meat Boy. I'm having a good time with both of them so I've definitely got my money's worth so far. Most of the offers so far I already own or have no interest in.

 

[babinro]

$61.00 here from Telltale pack and Defense Grid with expansions, Half Life Episode 1 and 2.

I was on the edge of picking up Brink, Plants vs Zombies, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed and Super Meatboy but have managed to pass up those offers. I'm hoping what I bought will last me until the inevitable better sales that come up during Black Friday and Boxing Day week.

 

[Raizekage]

$2.49

Got Knights of the Old Republic for that amount.

There's other games I'm interested in, but I prefer to play those games on the 360 or PS3.

 

[Ken Sapp]

Not a cent so far. Unfortunately for Valve(or maybe fortunately) I already dropped large bills during the last summer sale and the winter sale. I already have pretty much everything they have put on sale that I would want. But we will see if that changes.

 

[megapenguinx]

I haven't bought anything yet, though that is mainly because none of the OSX games really impressed me.

 

[thenamelessloser]

Um...

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Only game I really want right now is VtM:B, so...

This but really dislike the idea of having to download a patch made by fans in order to play a game. The sites shouldn't be charging even 14 dollars if I have to download something made by people not even getting paid t to update the software itself to work with more ram and newer operating systems. Also, whatever type of DRM may be there...

Hoping GOG will eventually get Vampire Bloodlines.

 

[tombman888]

All i've got is a 2 pack of sanctum. Because i'm poor like that.

 

[Whoatemysupper]

I wanted Just Cause 2 but, I have XP and am too poor to get 7 now (not really but I'm saving up for this coming fall) and Vista isn't an option.

 

[NellNell]

I've only spent $14.30. Elder Scrolls and Borderlands all with DLC!

I plan on buying both Left 4 Dead games on PC because I want the free maps and stuff.

Other than that, anything that looks good and cheap.
