Valve should consider instituting a buyback program where they buy back games at say an ~80% discount. This would give users a way to clean out the clutter in their games list and make back some money. There are a lot of holdouts like me who don't really 'invest' in Steam because there's no way to make some money back by selling old games we don't play. The amount of money Valve 'loses' through this program will be insignificant compared to the gush of money coming in from holdouts who will now be willing to embrace the system. This would be another way to differentiate themselves from other DD services. And if someone there decides to implement this system please message me and send me a check.

Oh, and please put Dead Space on sale for $5.

To anyone who bought STALKER, make the first thing you do is install STALKER COMPLETE MOD. Not only does it make the game look AMAZING, it also makes it much more enjoyable by introducing repair kits, ability to join any faction right from the start and much more.

Throughout the entire holiday sale, MW2 has been sitting there amongst top5 sellers... at FULL PRICE! How many other full price titles are there on the charts atm? Where's DAO?

I gather Steam stats still shouldn't account every activated retail key as a sell? Back at launch I got my MW2 key from an online vendor for 30â‚¬, as opposed to being ripped off for 59.99â‚¬

If Steam sales alone aren't enough to turn MW2 profitable on PC, how much volume do you guys think these crazy deals are actually pushing, and by such a low price, is anybody making any money in terms of how much bandwidth Steam userbase is hogging right now?

The servers have appeared to be running at overcapacity quite often during the holiday sale...

GTA IV PC QUESTIONS I didn't buy it at $7.50 because my back log is ridiculous but now I'm considering it..

First off, how is the performance? Is it patched up to be playable at decent settings? I'm on win 7 x64 and I've got a GTX 260 216 overclocked, c2d e8400 @ 4.1 ghz, and 4 gigs of ram. Will I be able to run this game on relatively high settings and average 35+ fps?

How is the game with a mouse and keyboard? I don't have a 360 controller and I'm not going to buy one.

Is the game buggy?

And will I like it?

Any and all help appreciated.

Really?! L4D2 is only $33.50 today and it just came out last month? I love Steam and its specials but to me that's just a slap in the face from Valve. Instead of all the people who pre-ordered it, getting it for this fair price we only got 5 bucks off a game that sat for the same price on retail shelves. Aren't we supposed to be getting savings passed onto us for the digital distribution? I mean no retail shelf space, no reproduction of the manual, discs and case, no shipping fees for sending them all over the world. Valve just had to make sure the servers could take the load. Yet we still didn't get a reasonable amount off.. time to go take my anger out on those bloody survivors..

To everyone bitching about a game going on sale the day after they bought it, welcome to the age of digital distribution. It's not going to change, and if anything is only going to get worse (I imagine one day prices will be updated daily) so either get used to it or find a new hobby. Bitching on a forum does not count as a new hobby.

There's been a temptation to just switch everything over to the 360. Gamerpoints + less install/patch/config/sysreqs hassle = win? I'm still not sure. The amount of deals you can get on PC is outstanding. The flip side is you need to have the system to run it and the hard drive space to hold it.

I have around 80 PC games that I'm looking to sell off on ebay or whatever. Just about all of them are in mint condition and most come with original case/instructions if it was a DVD case.

I ended up skipping GTA IV during the first 1 day sale it appeared on, but since it's back up, is it worth the $7.49? Thanks guys!

So at this point I'm guessing Valve bases one of the sale games completely on what the Shack comments say. Everyone was begging for Crysis and bam! Next day sale it was there. Yesterday everyone was begging for Red Alert 3 and Bam! Today there it is. So remember that next year.

Well fuck.

Random question--is everyone seeing Steam transactions showing up on their CC? I haven't had a single charge from them since the deals started, but I've ordered something almost every day. I've had some trouble with them failing to process transactions right around when the sales change for the day, so that's the only reason I noticed. My pending charges are steadily climbing however...

People have griped about certain days (of this sale) being pretty wimpy in "hot" titles but I honestly think that, other than Trine, this is the lamest of the Sale Days. BUT that being said Valve has really hooked gamers up this Christmas with some incredible deals. And for every deal that one of us thinks is "lame", there will be some gamer out there who will be ecstatic. So thanks Valve, either way!

Is today the last day of the sale?

There are a bunch of games I've held off buying hoping they would be further reduced. Some have but there are still a few I'm happy to pay with the regular discount. If there's one more day I can hold off hoping!

Wait so there's still another day of sales right? (after the RA3, Morrowind, Trine...). Cause it's already the 3rd here in Aus, but I'm not sure if today's sale is actually for the 2nd of Jan.

I'm waiting for the 50% off Left 4 Dead 2 and my collection will be complete (at least for now). I have bought many games in the past 10 days and I'm still waiting for a good sale on that game. Left 4 Dead was 50% off on Boxing day last year. Common Valve, don't let me down.

Oh nice, the Steam window does that thing in Windows 7 where it gives you a progress bar highlight in the app tray.

Just picked up Street Fighter 4 - didn't grab it when it was $20 on that weekend. Steam sales are sort of a godsend when you've screwed around and not bought something.

FYI, that Steam sale on Devil May Cry 4 is complete crap.

Amazon has it for $8.39:

and Newegg has it for $9.99 (for free shipping w/ no minimum order):
