GTA 5 is far better on consoles imo (ps4/x1)

I can't believe XCOM 2 isn't even in the top 10 sellers with the discount it has, really starting to lose faith in Steam users.

Flash sales are not consumer friendly, I much prefer their method now.

Why do you say that? I think the PC version is the best of the lot.

its currently at £23.99 did it go lower or is that the cheapest im going to get it?

That is the price on steam and cd-keys at the moment. Cheapest I've ever seen it.

I think it is better on the PC simply because the graphics are much better. You can also plug in an X-box controller which means there is no difference.

The PC version is quite clearly the best version due to the additional graphics boost. Otherwise it's exactly the same game.

when you sell badges/cards - are they sold direct person to person with steam acting on your behalf - or through steam ?

have loads of badges of no use to me but don't want a risk of them being bought with a fraudulent card and messing up my steam account

not for sake of a few quid

Must I ever spent in one the steam sales was just over £400 back in the steam 2009 Christmas sale...

And I most likely haven't played hardly any of them games...

esoteric · 4 Jul 2016 at 18:23

Didn't spend a single penny this sale and the 2 weeks have flown by, I didn't even craft the badge.

Devious · 4 Jul 2016 at 18:25

Did a last second purchase of Gta V.

Through steam, they even take a cut, so no risk to you.

I was going to buy a Steam controller but heard they are going to be releasing a newer version soon(ish) so thought I would wait until that comes out.

Mark A · 4 Jul 2016 at 19:11

I just bought Life is strange. Worst sale ever for me, its like they don't make any effort at all any more. Probably a good thing though as I am working my way through the backlog of previous sales.

divinebeetle · 4 Jul 2016 at 19:12

Assetto Corsa plus Dreampacks, Shadowrun Hong Kong and 3dmark for me in the end.

Happy with that

I wasn't worried about if a newer version of the controller was coming out..

But was wondering if steam were going release a newer version of the link with Gigabit network speed instead of the much slower 100mbit

Scougar · 4 Jul 2016 at 20:06

Trying to resist buying a second steam controller.

Also.. I wouldn't mind getting the planet based Homeworld game... Looks pretty cool.

Wait... the steam link is only 100 ??
