Steam in lack of 'special offer' shocker

Deadbeat · 7 Apr 2010 at 09:57

I was quite disappointed with Steam's total absence of deals over easter. I purposely put off paying off more cash on my credit card so I'd have a pool from which to draw, then they went and plastered up Borderlands for the whole weekend - and let's be honest, if you don't own it by now, you're not gonna buy it for £15.

Now, there's no midweek deal in sight. Disappointment to the max.I've got all this money begging to be spent, and nothing to waste it on.

Grumble.

Personally i think we were just lucky over Xmas.

Damn, you're going to have to find something else to do with all of that money!

Prostitutes and cocaine.

On a more serious note, you could take advantage of the Sam & Max special offer and preorder season 3 :cool:

you'v got plenty of cash and nothing to 'waste' it on?
With a credit card to pay off... sort your life out?

I just see Borderlands as one of those love it or hate it games. Aside from the fact that it's been on special offer many times already, the vast majority of people would have made their minds up about it by now. I could be wrong. It happens. Often.

Bwahahaha!

Wait.

Good idea.

People do have to live a little despite owing money on credit cards.

Or are you one of those people that doesn't go out and buy anything they don't need to survive when they owe money? basic food, no alcohol etc?

If you couldn't see the fact the OP is being tongue in cheek, I think it is your own life you want to take a look at

i read into it as having a little bit of a grumble behind it, hence the grumble...
its not like it would be suprising if someone did moan about it!

There are rumours it's because MW2 is coming out at £10 over the weekend. I will gladly accept a firing against the wall if this doesn't materialise.

£10 for MW2? Let me see, £10 for a case of Guinness or £10 to play online and curse at the haxing kids and the poor lag......... What Activision done to MW2 is like Guinness removing the creamy top off my pint...... Having said that, MW is just like Original Guinnessin the bottle - it looks a bit flat but tastes much better.

Mechwarrior 2 for £10 - for real? Isn't that like 15 years old?

LUL WUT!

If it was Mechwarrior 4, I'd still raise an eyebrow at the cost. Would MW2 even run on Win7? :confused:

Maybe I as me wires crossed - you can pre-load MW2 and play for FREE this weekend (multiplayer only). Whether they will accompany this with the game on offer for a tenner, I doubt it now.
