Still, even if it was under a tenner with all the DLC it'd be worth it. Very, very good game, better than FO3 in my eyes.
Steam Sales - Are you buying ****?

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
I've noticed that the majority of the games I own on PC and actually play; I owned on Xbox 360 too when I had one. Borderlands, Fallout 3, Metro 2033, GTA IV etc.
Need Skyrim and Mirror's Edge to complete the collection.
Shame some truly amazing games like Tekken 6 and EA MMA are stuck on crappy consoles.

I did the exact same thing and the "game" still only lasted 75 minutes.
I tell myself that too; the problem is that the road is indeed very long and also littered with further sales along it, so the backlog never shrinks. Short of getting made redundant I can't see much light at the end of the tunnel.
To be fair I've also been suckered into buying some ****, usually filler in compilation packs. What makes it worse is that sometimes I end up playing those rubbish games ahead of AA titles because I think they will be easier to pickup and play :/
Then your causing more damage than good for the PC scene, for the simple fact a lot of developers are giving up on PC with the number of low sales thanks to piracy (Capcom and Rockstar being the biggest and most recent cases).
What are you talking about.
Rockstar have released L.A. Noire on PC even though the studio that made it was shut down. GTA V is coming out on PCs too. And they have done this for years now.
And how is that even remotely relevant to the guy that wishes to support PC-only devs? Paradox games are far from mainstream. He's not hurting PC gaming, he's supporting the niche products that are actually worth something and don't get as much hype in the media.
Rockstar were basing whether to carry on supporting the PC with the success of Max Payne 3. Capcom have made Dragon's Dogma console exclusive, Microsoft also refuse to let Gears of War or Halo come on to the PC platform anymore. The less people that buy the big games, the less of the big games we will see on the PC.
I get the reasons he does it, but if hes doing it purely to make some kind of point then hes doing it wrong.

Problem with that statement, sir?

Capcom has always been focused on consoles, Halo and Gears of War have been Xbox-only for many years now.

usually i'm fairly level headed in the sales but i have been a bit impulsive this time. Of the 6 or 7 things i've got the only thing i wanted before the sale was sim city 4, and that was just for the sake of having a digital copy - at the current flash price of £2.49 its worth it to me.

If big companies want to go to full console, then let them. If they're too stupid to take money of PC players that are throwing it at them, then so be it. Steam and other online distribution services have proved time and time again, if you give a great service and throw in extras, people will pay rather than pirate. Anyhow, who doesn't know someone with a chipped 360?
IMO, let them go produce **** console games. Really am sick to death of rubbish, glitchy console ports being all that's being offered from big studios on PC platform, so I'm with the guy above, I'll support the indies that have made the last year one of the most enjoyable in terms of PC games for me.
Nah I've managed to behave bought things I've been after for a while mainly.
Altho I'm quite tempted to grab fable Lost chapters adn replay/finish it this time round.
Was so much better than that fable 2 twaddle

That's my analogy on it, i haven't even played half of my games that are in my Steam library so i don't see the point in purchasing any games from a Steam sale until i get round to playing them.

The only thing I've bought was Unreal Gold last night for £1.49. Every other game I want, I seem to already have on Steam.
