I assume it really awards the #1 game on the wishlist without regard for whether it's purchasable. Heh.

Is it really gonna make me click the "boost" button 170 times to redeem my points 1k at a time? 
=======
Oh hey, (Not)Advance Wars is getting an expansion? ... Or looks like a sequel rather? Mhm.
I remember making the Tiny Metal OT on Era, and it didn't even get passed page-1 lol.
I liked the game well enough I guess. 6/10 if I remember right. A decent sale game if you like Advance Wars style games...

Is it a bug?
It's described as winners getting their top wishlisted game, and that's what is happening
I have to admit that for this (and most eggsclusives they bought that aren't The Outer Worlds) my reaction would be the same even if it was on Steam.
Yeah, though you can also skip that and just get them auto-converted to tokens on the 7th.Is it really gonna make me click the "boost" button 170 times to redeem my points 1k at a time?
But hey, you get $55 in coupons so don't complain

I would not complain
I did not get enough points even to 1 coupon.

Are they not counting your Index purchase? Seems like you would have a pretty high starting Capacity as well.
You can safely replace EGS logo with opencritic score lol
They are, I had ~100k.Are they not counting your Index purchase? Seems like you would have a pretty high starting Capacity as well.

Have they mentioned it even once since Tiny Metal came and went? lol. I probably wouldn't get your hopes up...
Right. So it really is just a matter of what you spent between whatever date they picked and now. So I must have miscounted. Instead of $1300ish I must have spent around $1700ish on Steam since.
That's pretty wild. Not particularly impressive or awe worthy. It just means I'm fucking stupid with my money.
Steam Store
Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.
The screenshot must be fake, because that is what I see. People wishlist 60€ games, not Recettear and such.
Personally, I chose upcoming expensive games.
Vampire and Doom are available on the store with different pre-order options, that is why they appear without a price on the wishlist.

This was an excellent write-up, thank you! Definitely going to give it a try based on that!
I wish there'd be way to earn more tokens beyond your limit outside of purchasing things.
I can understand that they wouldn't wanna give tokens away too generously with the discount they "sell", but a way to earn some more would have been nice.
They did do their yearly "totes committed to making the game" post on Kickstarter.

I wonder if outright removed games would work. Time to put Second Sight at the top of my wishlist!
Rearranged my wish (of course i will not win anything, but still)
They let me stack all 11. Thank you Gaben.

Three kingdoms, very good choice.
did you get new tokens for this purchase or only if real money is spent?
I got 970 tokens, so yes, they only give tokens for the real money you spend. Otherwise they would have given me ~6400ish.
Edit: I think I have just enough leftover in my Steam wallet for the bloody DLC that launches today for TW: Three Kingdoms! \o/
Haven't seen this posted yet: security leak found in Origin.
I have uninstalled Origin when EA tried to push pay2win MT's in SW Battlefront 2. Haven't bought anything from them since.

Can anyone summarize the security hole like I'm 10 ?
Do I need to uninstall asap or what ?

Suggestions for a AAA/big name game.
Regional pricing is a b*tch in India so some games are exorbitantly expensive, so help me decide. My budget is Rs. 4000. I have few games locked in like Rocket league, FF8, AOE 2 DLC, AOE 3, Guild Wars trilogy and Slap City (plus some small DLC).
This leaves me with effectively with Rs. 3000 (less actually).

HOW DID YOU GET THOSE MANY?!

I don't understand the rules to the game, lets hope Valve doesn't either.

On a side note and since it's on sale (fuck you SE for Dragon Quest), I'm still torn about a potential FF7 replay. I completed it in French so many years ago and it didn't make a lick of sense. As the US translation is not really well regarded either I thought about using one of the retranslation patches. The Remako mod looked like a good candidate for that replay.
But correct me if I'm wrong but you can't had scanlines to it, can you ? I know that it's weird to pretty up the background only to add scanlines to them but at the end of the day I think I prefer a more faithful version than a prettied up one, if I have to choose. I just want to understand the batshit plot.
No suggestions ? Some Meta member already mentioned the Switch version but I don't have a Switch anymore and that doesn't really fit the bill anyway.

I detailed it post-by-post up above as it happened lol, but to summarize...
Apparently your "Capacity" (the red number) is determined by how much you've spent between the Lunar Sale and now. My starting "Capacity" was 170.5k. This is because I spent roughly $1700 on Steam between now and then, and it would appear that every $100 you've spent equals 10K "Capacity."
So once you get your starting capacity it then becomes a matter of filling up your points or "boost" (the white number) to meet that "Capacity" (Red Number.) For me all I had to do was idle about 15-20 games I had perfected (gotten all achievements) and within 2 hours I was able to claim 170k "boost."
Then you use the "boost" in the races, which is converted 1:1 to tokens. The discount costs 15k tokens each, and I had enough points to redeem 11.
... That's all. It's really just a reflection of how much you've spent since whatever date Valve picked. (Seems to be around Lunar sale start or end, I dunno.)
So, those that need the coupon the most have the hardest to get it... Sounds like capitalism!
It is always nice to get a gift.
Imagine being that person though. You win the lottery (0.06% chance) and rather than the most expensive wishlisted game, you receive a $4 game.
Anybody got one of them capacity boosts? scratches neck
My cap has been reduced to a mere 5K and I got at least 20K from idling I can't redeem...

After 5 years, the PC port of Bit.Trip Flux is still bad. Mouse controls feel terrible, the paddle moves weirdly, as if it had some terrible acceleration. This made my attempts to use gyro movement with the Steam Controller frustrsting as fuck. I'm bad at the game, but not that bad. For the record, Beat feels much better to play than this.
What a shame. Flux is my favorite in the series, but it's kinda broken on PC.
As for the sale, I'll have to think well about what to buy with my discount coupons. Since I live in a shitty country, I only get $1.30 per coupon, which is unfair since games here tend to cost more than 26% of the US price. It's particularly infuriating when it comes to publishers who don't care about regional pricing in most of their titles (Ubisoft, or more recently GOG with Cyberpunk), or are actively screwing us up (Konami with their $100 PES2020 and $60 Castlevania collection).

Steam achievement manager. Just double click on a game and let it rest in the unlock menu
I think it's better to give up getting "free" $5 coupon from this event. To get these coupons you need to spend money. The more you spend, the more coupons you get.
Surge 2 is looking really good, the team has uploaded a new video showing a bit more variety of what the game offers and, damn, it looks like a really improvement compared to the first one (not talking about the expansions)
I was around 25-28k capacity, used up all my boot and got 17k tokens. What should I do to increase capacity again?
According to the Grand Prix FAQ:
"and for each day that you participate, you'll also upgrade your capacity by 100 points. Additionally, for every $1 you spend on Steam, you will upgrade the capacity of your Boost Meter by 100 points."
So it seems the only way to significantly boost your "Capacity" is to buy more stuff on Steam. ... A lot more stuff. Every $150 would equal 15k "Capacity."
You get 100 a day (basically nothing). Other than that, it's only buying stuff.
150$ per 5$ discount (or equivalent regional currency). So yeah.
