I don't recall steam slowing down like how it is today last year.

It was the exact same for the summer camp event.

WingZero30 · 19 Dec 2011 at 19:49

Is it possible to know how many people are currently on steam?

Flibster · 19 Dec 2011 at 19:52

No wonder it's up and down like kangaroo's in the mating season... 4.6million online peak Still nearly 4.4million on now.

The crashing of steam has become worse now since the sale started

I keep getting that 'varnish' error everytime I log back in

You could easily end with a load of games you may never play on the back of the steam sale that's why I have a list of games I want and I won't be buying anything else even if I'm a little bit tempted.

The Withcer 2
Shotgun 2
Deus Ex
Skyrim (unlikely I know)

I got it free as a gift can send you it when the inventory thing is fixed, or you might get lucky and get one to

Would appreciate that thanks

How do you check your gift mine say 1 objective complete click here for you gift but there is just a team fortress 2 inventory with nothing in it or is that my prize lol. Has everyone else got a gift in there?

I've only been able to see one deal: the Metro 2333 one for £3.75. I take it that's a bargain price?

Freeman · 19 Dec 2011 at 20:05

The Codies pack is a great deal!!!

Steam Holiday Sale 2011 - With added COWBELL

19th December 2011 through January 1st 2012

Will update this post with details regarding the daily deals.

STEAM HOLIDAY SALE ON NOW
Announcement - Valve

The Steam Holiday Sale is on now through Sunday, January 1, 2012. In addition to huge savings throughout the store, the 2011 sale features two special promotions that allow you to win like never before.

The Great Gift Pile challenges gamers to complete up to six objectives each day. Completion of each objective grants the chance to win a free game or discount coupons for select games available on Steam. If you don’t win, no worries, you’ll be given a piece of coal. But hold onto that coal!

Why?

Coal is the ticket to enter the Epic Holiday Giveaway. It’s called Epic because the top prize is every game on Steam. The more coal you have, the better your chance of winning. Players may alternatively choose to magically mix their coal into something shiny and new by “crafting” seven pieces into a gift from the Great Gift Pile. So this year receiving coal is a good thing.

Didn’t get what you want? Of course Steam allows you to trade coal and prizes with your friends.

Further details on these events and information on how it’s progressing may be found here.

Complete information on all the savings, daily deals, featured publisher game packs, compilations and more may be found on www.steampowered.com.

I know people are going to say that we already have a thread for this, but i think it's a good idea - that one is already filled with lots of stuff about the wishlist deals.

Can someone confirms if arkham city is really included in the pack? Just next to the warner bros pack, it says ' excludes batman arkham city and lord of the rings war in the north'

Barry_H · 19 Dec 2011 at 20:22

Can't do anything, servers trashing all add funds requests. Can't see my inventory for gifts either.

Shove it Gabe, I'll install Origin. Up yours!
