Steam Summer Sale 2019 Thread

Just checked my cart...the Deserts of Kharak 'deluxe' pack, an an ordinary day, runs about 70.00. Right now it's 13.85. Now that's a sale.

GOG pretty much has the same sale. I think you get a little bit more of a break on steam if you buy the bundle. I had already bought the base game on sale a while back so I was OK just getting the DLC on sale.

For the record I didn't buy anything yet. Waiting to see what else this thread shakes out of the tree.

Holy crap JP!  If that hack actually works, that's pretty awesome!

Your self-control is an inspiration to us all.

Re the exploit (arguably not a hack, although someone did code to take advantage of it): I don't know if Steam has patched it yet, but it does take a little more oomph to get it going with any efficient effect: you need an autoclicker for example (can't just one-click to drink all those sodas), and while soda cans can be made from one dirt block, I get the impression you have to be relatively far developed in the game to have that ability.

Also, the rate of return in Steam cash for points generated (10 points per can drunk), is more like 5 pounds sterling for 2000 cans drunk. So there's a practical limit on how much cash can be generated this way over time. Even with an autoclicker, it might take 1000 seconds to earn 5pds this way. (I don't know where the sterling symbol is on the keyboard I'm using, and I'm too lazy to do the minimal work of looking up the current conversion rate into dollars, or even whether Steam isn't just doing five dollars instead of five pounds in North America for 20000 voucher points or whatever the rate is. Although I'm not too lazy to type all that out. Ironically.  ::) )

Steam emptied my cart! I had to go back to this thread to remember what I had in it :/

I'll help.  Just buy the stuff on Steam that you don't already own targeted for people 14+.  That would cover the half dozen titles you don't already own.

Steam seems to nuke the cart once in a while. When I can't remember what I had in it I begin to wonder if I have a shopping addiction.  :-\

[Gusington]

Is it done intentionally? Those bastards.

[Huw the Poo]

I'd assume it's just a timeout?

[Gusington]

No, it was empty after several restarts.
