Steam Summer Sales Begins - (June 19-30)

[bob48]

Since 2009, I have spent the princely sum of £40. Mind you, I have got games that were gifted to me as well.

You shouldn't even consider yourself a gamer bob!  ;D

On the other hand, I've spent considerably more on board wargames over that period.

[steve58]

6 years on STEAM with a total of $597 spent on games 61 games which comes out to about $10 per game.  When you break it down like that it doesn't seem so bad, just don't tell the wife.

...what happens on Steam, stays on Steam  ;D

Ugh, Arma III 50% off...  I've had the self-control of a Buddhist monk so far, but time to cave.

[Gusington]

For this sale, I have also bought nothing. It helps that I have very little cash on hand at the moment.

[FlickJax]

i just keep buying more games that i havent got time to play, I have so many unplayed games now :(

[Gusington]

^We have a support group for that. Led by JH.

Ditto.


Anyone get any satisfaction from purchases?

I took a leap on a few games I knew next to nothing about and I'm enjoying them quite a bit.


Sleeping Dogs Complete. Looks and plays like a Martial Arts version of GTA. Not disappointed so far. The HTH combat is pretty damn cool.

Horizon - fun with surprising depth and the one-more-turn factor.

Anno 2070 complete. It looks fabulous graphically, and amazing production-wise. I know nothing about it and played a little bit and got lost fairly fast. Time will tell.

Dragon Age Origins - Ultimate Edition. I'm looking forward to this. Heard good things.

Superpower 2. I got this back in the day and modded it a bit. It's dated and really doesn't cut it for me anymore. Pity, I used to love this game.

All in all, happy so far.

This game is good for nothing, except starting a nuclear war. For that, its worth admission.

For me its not the money - it is the time.  I spend a lot more on hunting and fishing every single year than I do computer games.  I spent around $2,000 on my last 12 hour deep sea fishing trip (counting hotel, food, gas....).

It takes time to learn a strategy game, war game (other than a shooter) or RPG.  I don't have the time to learn 60 game systems a year.

I buy maybe a game a month - and I have a big backlog of unplayed games. Once I retire, I'll have more time.

So it looks like I became a Steam member on December 6, 2007....so with my damage of $642, that is only roughly $100 a year of steam purchases.....guess I am a lightweight:)

Although over that period of time, the majority of my purchases have been from other sites, good thing there is not a calculator for total purchases across the web:)

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

There has to be worse out there, come on guys.  There has to be a silver lining....something? anything?

Tis but a scratch!

Way more than me, I got 93 items on Steam, maybe 15 on Gamers gate, maybe 12 on GOG. Many are sub $10. All together maybe $500, If more I don't want to know.

Neat!

$1080 spent, plus $126 in gifts.
196 total games.
89 installed.
787 hours played.
4 years service.
Unlocked June 13, 2010.  I'm pretty sure that coincided with my purchase of Empire Total War.

[Arctic Blast]

$3081 spent since January 22nd 2008, lightweights.

I've lost track of what purchases I've mentioned, but the last few days have included : Project Zomboid, a Contagion 4-pack, Borderlands 2 DLC that I didn't have yet, and Battleblock Theater.
