2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine was banned on the official forums because he gave evidence that Valve intentionally increased some games' prices before this sale started.

Well done, Valve. Well done. (N)

Valve doesn't set prices for the games on their client, publishers do.

Maybe I'll pick up Darksiders if it gets a daily deal.

Arkham Asylum looks good too, but that DRM is irking me. It'll have to drop pretty low for me to buy it.

Like to pick up a racing game too. Maybe Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, but it's not even on sale by itself yet.

Also looking at picking up a sim too. The Sims, Tycoon City, or Spore.

Also : Probably should put this in the OP, even though it isn't technically related still worth checking out.

Amazon's 4th of July Blowout

I want to get the id Super Pack, but I've already bought all these games. I would be buying it just for the convenience of having them all in Steam. Maybe if it had the newer wolfenstein and Quake 4 (wtf? why doesn't it have Quake 4?) Because it is Raven? But it has Hexan....but no Heretic. Blah, maybe if it was $15..but $30? I'll pass..

It isn't that Super of a Pack.

ID Software developed Hexen, with Raven. Raven owns the rights to Quake 4, and it didn't have anything to do with ID Software,... therefore, they don't have publishing rights.

ditto for the new Wolfenstein, it's an Activision game. i'd buy that for a dollar, though!

looks like some of the games from the Xmas sale are here again...KOTOR and Just Cause 2 to name a few. hopefully some newer stuff will be on offer, i'd like to buy quite a few games to support the sale.

Yeah, all the games i want on there, i got it in past sales and the ones i kind of want are still pricey to take the risk.

I picked up the GTA Classics pack yesterday just for the sake of getting something in the sale and to have the games on my Steam list... plus i'd like to play through Vice City again.

I picked up a couple games on the first day, and Terraria and Dwarfs! today. I'm actually disappointed in Terraria but for a stupid reason - there's no server browser or easy way to join MP games without knowing the IP. Which is fine, but I'd really like it if the game had an easy way to browse servers. :p

I'm seriously considering buying BioShock, B:BC 2, and B:BC 2 Vietnam. I wanted these in the Christmas sale, but decided not to buy anything in that sale.

BioShock (both 1 and 2) are definitely worth getting. Probably the best games I got in the Christmas sale, made me wonder why I'd waited until then to play them. Bad Company 2 is a lot of fun too, the multiplayer part is still really active. Haven't got the Vietnam expansion, so can't comment on that. :)

I just bought it. I'm looking forward to playing it, although I need to complete BioShock first!

A heads up to anyone who is interested in buying the Bad Company 2 Pack. Instead of buying the pack, you can buy Bad Company 2 and redeem the CD key on EA's Origin to get the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes Vietnam. So, unless you want the Steam version, you get Vietnam for free. chicken-royal, you can do this to get Vietnam.

Damn, that's pretty nice. I paid $49.99 for Bad Company 2 last year. It's definitely worth it for $5. (Y)

    • Not ok - WINRAR   HAHAHAHAHAHAH 
    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
