[SamPazz]

Before making a Steam purchase ask yourself:

"Am I going to play this within the next 3 months?"

"Is this the cheapest it will be for a while?"


If no, wait. It'll be on sale again .

if its on for around a fiver, will it be much cheaper if atall and when will it go on sale again? might aswell grab it while you can and whiles its cheap imo

even if it doesnt get played, still a bargain

It should be addictive unless you're American

I thought it sounded odd.

Anyway, thread derail over........

Or educated to what appears to be a low standard these days....

Anyway, Steam is not the addictive thing, its the games you get via it. Well, for me it is anyway.

Steam can be a bit like Pokemon.

Yes it's addictive lol. I have several games that have been in the sale recently but i doubt i'll get chance to play them until next year now that there's an increase of big releases!

So Steam isn't "addicting", it's your shopping habits . A product that's not going to be used is wasteful, but because it's a "bargain" your compelled to buy it?

Yep, pretty much this tbh - still have a huge backlog of games to play!

I've got about 10 steam games I need to download, but because of my useless 50gb download allowance, I'm well restricted, and then I get whopped with mass bills because 1gb over = another pound ontop of my bill. 20gb over = £20 ontop of my bill :/ so annoying !!

I love Steam, anytime i see something for £3 or less i am all over it , will go upto £5 -£7 if it includes DLC as well, like borderlands
