I intended to buy the Crusader Kings 2 collection on Steam the other day. I saw it was on sale in the morning, and had a list of things to do for the day. One day lead to another...which lead to me logging in to Steam to buy the game...and it was nolonger on sale.
I just saw that I can buy it today on GamersGate for the same price, but I'll have to download the entire thing again over a limited connection. I'm only allowed 30GB per month. And...I'd like to pick up DCS: Huey, Flaming Cliffs 3, Combined Arms, and P51.
Sigh...it's not even the Steam Summer Sale Season and I'm already facing financial ruin...
I feel for you man. I shall drink a beer in a show of support & commiseration.

lol - got to give a brother support
ill be the one leaning against the back wall who then falls out of the back door into the pavement who everyone steps over to get in - hic
I've had the same thing happen to me too. It's frustrating as hell at times but so is my wife's family(just kidding I love them all). ;)
There was an up to 70% discount on Panzer Corps campaigns if you had purchased earlier titles.
I qualified for the discount. But when I went to apply for it it seems that my release codes had to be "registered" in a new system. Seemingly Matrix did not register my serial numbers when I purchased the game. I was swamped with work and did not have time to dig through a 2.5 year pile of stuff that needed to be filed to hunt down the keys. I finally got my filing done last weekend and went to get the discount - and found out that it expired about a month ago.
I'm not complaining about Matrix - but I have been so busy that I ended up spending $28 bucks that I did not need to spend.
Maybe it'll be part of the Steam summer sale! In the meantime that beer drinking idea sounds good. I shall drink a scotch to show support for Martok's beer drinking idea.
I've done the opposite a few times - purchasing a game at regular price the day before it goes on some big daily/weekly deal sale. ::)
I just did something like that a couple weeks ago IIRC.

So how long do I have to still be weak for the DCS sale? Or is it already too late?

It ends on or after the 30th.

Yeah, today I saw deals for F1 and Dirt 3... after I bought them at full price.
Well, FWIW CK2 goes on sale every other week or so it seems so if you can be patient for just a bit longer you'll be able to get it on sale on Steam for sure. Certainly in the next two weeks IMO.
Now then. I poured myself a glass of wine before I sat down to log onto Grogheads. I was feeling a little guilty- no good reason presented itself for a Tuesday glass of wine. However, this thread most definitely serves as a good reason, so today I am a winner!
Its good to know I can always count on my Grogheads brothers (and sisters?) to be there for me. :)
My ulcer ridden stomach prevents me from sharing a pint with you all, but I lift a glass of icy filtered water...which I am about to use to take my Prilosec. *cheers*
