It's on! Steam Summer Sale 2020

[SirAndrewD]

I went on an orgy of buying last night that will leave me embarrassed for a very long time.

Do tell..

[SirAndrewD]

Do tell..

Lets just say I'm waiting on my letter from Gabe Newell telling me how much equity I own in Valve now.

You got the Vive, didn't you?   :o

[SirAndrewD]

No.  I'm actually considering the Occulus Quest. 

I'm going to wait till the end of the year to pull the trigger on one of them though.  If I do it'll be via Amazon, I've got a significant amount of credit built up there from unspent holiday money.   I've been breaking $100k in sales for three months going now so I'm going to treat myself very nicely for Christmas.

But, as to things I got last second.  All the Assassins Creed Games that were remaining, The rest of the Wargame series, all the remaining Battletech DLC, a few odds and ends of Arma 3 DLC I was missing, all the Kingdom Come Deliverance DLC, a bunch of stuff for Inquisitor Martyr, Mechanicus....I think that was it.   It was sort of hazy. 

[Gusington]

Wow, you win!

[SirAndrewD]

Wow, you win!

I always win.   8)

[Gusington]

Now don't get silly. Winning in this case is not quite winning in the usual sense.

Oh, I know.  I win the game of spending too much on the sales and building up a library of stuff that will have less than 30 minutes of play time. 

I also win at being a boastful git.

I was hoping to pick up a few things during this years summer sale, especially with all the added stress due to the state of things right now out in the world, but I just could not pull the trigger on anything. Most of the games that I really want to get haven't been released yet, such as Sea Power, and most of the games on my wishlist are either situational, or I put them on there thinking they could be interesting. Apparently not interesting enough, because despite going through my wishlist a number of times I never ended up getting any of it. Oh well, I guess there is always next year.

Hope everyone else had more luck than me this year and are enjoying their new purchases!

Exactly the same here.  Things often sit on my wishlist through several sales - and then I buy something random instead.

I had the same experience with my Steam wishlist and purchased nothing.  So I put my limited gaming dollars into the Tiller sale and am having a blast getting deep into his Napoleonic, ACW and Panzer Battles games.

Sir Andrew - were you drunk Steam Sale buying again? :)
