Community MetaSteam | December 2019 - Halo! Is It Me You're Looking For?

[Jav]

An hour into the sale and I'm like:

 

[Wok]

I am such a noob. I thought it was smart to sell Winter 2019 cards before the sales start, but the price has increased since the start of the sales.

Supply and demand, even though the stuff is free.

 

[NarohDethan]

An hour into the sale and I'm like:

You have great taste. Communism, weird shit and anime.

 

[beep boop]

I want (more) free money, Valve.

On a serious note, the one thing I was interested in — Hitman 2 expansion pass — is more expensive in this sale than the previous. Fuck.

 

[derExperte]

Bought some more games and didn't get any tokens yet again.

 

[Durante]

An hour into the sale and I'm like:

Well, Those are some amazing games.

 

[dfghstrbght]

i'm sick in bed, time to rewatch sao

 

[NarohDethan]

Do you have a death wish?

 

[Wok]

:SeemsGood:

 

[Eferis]

An hour into the sale and I'm like:

All great games.

 

[Futaleufu]

Bought some more games and didn't get any tokens yet again.

I didnt get any tokens for the Apogee Throwback.

 

[Mor]

So the coupon is basically a 10% rebate, once you spend 50 bucks.

Yes, same as the Chinese new year event ^^

 

[derExperte]

Oh so that's why I'm not earning anything.

Fuck me I guess.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Gears 5 and Far Cry New Dawn. Do these actually have good stories? Might play them if so.

 

[Firewithin]

Oh so that's why I'm not earning anything.

Fuck me I guess.

GabeN pls

 

[Stevey]

Is the watch the yule log quest just redirecting to the community home page for anyone else?

 

[NarohDethan]

Gears 5 and Far Cry New Dawn. Do these actually have good stories? Might play them if so.

I’ve only played New Dawn but no. You can see the ending from a mile away and it is not a good one.

 

[inky]

not really

New Dawn is a complete waste of time. Not as bad as 5 but that's not saying much.

 

[Trisolarian]

Oh so that's why I'm not earning anything.

Fuck me I guess.

Valve wants you to earn those festive bucks.

And yes, their motto is now "Fuck you, I guess".

Golden ages of sales are donezo.

An hour into the sale and I'm like:

I have Katamari and Valkyria4 on my PS3.....

PS3 superiority confirmed.

 

[Le Pertti]

Whaaaaat that's some bullshit! Since I only use steam wallet funds by buying cards at store.

 

[inky]

That's actually fucked up as most of my funds are Steam wallet. They could've at least carried over some tokens from last sale as I didn't spend them all.

 

[MJunioR]

Oh so that's why I'm not earning anything.

Fuck me I guess.

this deal is getting worse all the time

 

[Eferis]

Yeah alright, I mostly buy through wallet and sure as hell I am not going to use extra money when I have wallet credit available. Fuck them for real.

 

[Stevey]

lol and I just added £50 to my steam funds like an hour before the sale started

 

[beep boop]

Damn it, Volvo. Reset my discovery queue progress twice. I see through your trickery!

 

[Wok]

Keep your tokens for Christmas, guys! Do not buy the fire emojis as I did:

The reason you need to save your tokens is that there will be dog emojis! Keep 700 tokens!

Is the watch the yule log quest just redirecting to the community home page for anyone else?

You need to go there:

[Le Pertti]

I just can't believe this is true, Valve has made sure people can get steam funds by making wallet cards available all over the world and now they don't count as "real" money. Someone somewhere has made a misstake.

 

[NarohDethan]

not really

New Dawn is a complete waste of time. Not as bad as 5 but that's not saying much.

I thought the gameplay was fine but nothing special

 

[Kandrick]

Wallet funds not awarding tokens is some stupid shit.

Also it looks like they fixed the page, it wasn't showing properly on any browser for me before.

 

[Stevey]

Well I'm not buying anything yet and see if they change it.
If not, I know for sure that I'm getting some steam gift cards for xmas, so I'll use that

 

[derExperte]

We don't even knows if adding funds via a gift card will do anything.

 

[Nabs]

Klei needs to discount Griftlands by a % or two so this coupon is ineligible. If you don't care about Epic and Timmy, you could effectively get a future Steam copy for $5.

 

[Wok]

Release the dog emojis, Gabe!

Klei needs to discount Griftlands by a % or two so this coupon is ineligible. If you don't care about Epic and Timmy, you could effectively get a future Steam copy for $5.

In Europe, it is 12.49€, so not eligible. So many inconsistencies!

 

[Stevey]

It says that adding funds during the sale counts, so hopefully gift cards will be the same

 

[Álvaro de Campos]

Hopefully Volvo nukes the syndicated news feed garbage soon.

Epic Games Store Holiday Sale starts with free Into The Breach

[Trisolarian]

Far Cry 5 was fantastic, if that matters to anyone.

 

[Tizoc]

Got some giveaways going in the Giveaways thread~

 

[Deku]

Anyone else having trouble logging in the client?

 

[beep boop]

Is there a reason why Steam is making me confirm even the most minute of market sales? Used to be that I could sell stuff that was only worth a couple of cents without any additional steps.

you can sell up to 3 a day without confirmation.

 

[NarohDethan]

It truly is!

 

[Stevey]

I've sold loads more than 3 a day without needing to confirm anything

 

[Trisolarian]

Should I get involved with buying gems with steam bucks and start crafting some fat packs?

I've got about 1.80 in bux......

 

[beep boop]

Ah, so that's it. Though, and I may be misremembering, at some point I do think I sold more than three without ever having to use the app -- like Stevey said.

 

[madjoki]

Probably not.

 

[Dragon1893]

I had this on my previous PC, and I invested days into trying to fix it. Ultimately I just gave up on updates on that build (since I was somewhat close to getting a new PC anyway).

MS could do so much better in actually providing useful information on why an update fails.

It keeps asking me to update but I already know it will just waste my time. Fucking hell.

 

[MJunioR]

I've sold loads more than 3 a day without needing to confirm anything

Yeah, yesterday I sold a bunch without needing confirmation until I tried to sell an more expensive one (for about $5). I just sold my Steam Awards cards without needing to confirm them either.

 

[Trisolarian]

Probably not.

Oh, I'm not going to make any steambux with this, just as a diversion. I already sold out of my inventory, which was a whopping 1.80. (I may have lowered my prices to the "auto-buy" asking price, srry people but 2 cents is better than an imaginary 5 cents)

Idk what the rate of foils are, but my guess is that its somewhere around 1/10 for packs.

 

[Le Pertti]

I'm seriously dumbfounded by Valves decision to not grant tokens for those who use steam wallet funds. Like how? Is not my money good enough?

 

[dfghstrbght]

Guess I won’t be purchasing anything
