Got a 50% off a valve game coupon. Though I have every game I could care about besides Portal 2 but its gonna need to get cheaper then $30 for me to get it.

Portal 2 is on sale for $7.50.

Too bad I've got no money right now, there's a few things I've wanted for a long while! :(

Wow their "epic holiday giveaway" is absolutely huge, the grand prize is every single game on steam! :woot: Whoever gets to win that is very lucky indeed!

So, what have people here won so far? I won Half-Life 2 (already own it) and 25% off THQ games. Personally, I think the coupons are kind of useless since they have to be used after the sale and the games are already on discount more than the value of the coupons :/ Would be nice if there was a ubisoft coupon so I can pick up AC Revelations.

Same here!

Unlocked the Orcs Must Die! achievement too, but haven't got a second gift yet. :/

Apparently, if you view your backpack in TF2, Portal 2 or Spiral Knights it will refresh your inventory. Also, You're supposed to get 2 gifts with the first (look at your inventory) achievement. I only have that one achievement and got 2 gifts.

Hmm, weird. I've only got the one gift, and I just tried refreshing the inventory the way you suggested.

Inventory is kind of funky atm, I've traded valve discount codes from my other accounts to the main one and they seemed to have disappeared, only to return later.

Yeah, it's definitely acting up at the moment. I just did a trade with someone to get a gift copy of PAYDAY: The Heist, and it's not showing up in my inventory.

Ahh, the price we pay for the awesome sales... :/

Oops, I left out a step. You also have to move something in your backpack.

Not really, Fable 3 is quite disappointing. Especially if you liked Fable II.

It is short, easy and not very fun to play at all.

I got coal and 33% off Valve. I own all of Valve's games so kinda pointless. Oh well guess what my brother will be getting for Christmas? :laugh:

OK, my casulties on the first day... :p

Does anyone here know if you can complete earlier Gift Pile objectives on later days? I only just got "Orcs Must Die!", so I'd hate to miss out on that one. :p

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're also looking at a company struggling here.
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
