Forgive them, the Sales Thread moves pretty fast around this time of year.

Surprise, a cabal is "controlling" or manipulating the points gathered by the steam teams, hence why things look so weird and one team dominates each day:
I said that yesterday.

According to the SGDQ irc chat, its a bunch of subreddits rigging the teams.

Forgive me, your post was one line at the end of a page. Besides, an article (even a PC gamer article) is more substantive and offers more details than "some guy on IRC says".

There's another flash giveaway on GOG for the next 13 minutes. Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

That's because one of the main games in the bundle is on a daily deal, I think.

It seems that later today PCGamer with Bundle Stars are giving away up to one million Steam keys for SpaceChem and repeating this for different games in the following four weeks. Article about it is here.

Urg, Facebook link only. Can't even create a throwaway to claim it because they demand mobile verification these days.

I have SpaceChem in my cart as well.

Was going to look at it, EARLY ACCESS popped up on the page, then I closed the window.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Pretty sure we have a thread on it here. It looks quite fun, and I actually backed it when it was on Indigogo, I think? Haven't tried it out yet, but I've heard good things about it despite it being in Beta still.

I'm really unhappy with the GOG sale format. I saw a few games I wanted on the flash sales earlier in the week but I couldn't buy them at the time because reasons.

I've been rather busy since so I can't camp the computer checking every two hours, and I haven't seen any of them up as flash sales since.

Very annoying.

On the other hand, I've made two impulse buys so far while I was checking, so I guess it's working out for them anyway.

RE: current Steam community choice categories

I don't think I would consider Mass Effect or Dragon Age: Origins to have "female protagonist" as one of their biggest selling points. Custom protagonist, sure, but it's mostly cosmetic. If anything, female protagonists are given less decisions in DA:O than male.

Which games do you have your eye on, and are you under any other constraints than time?

I'm willing to figure something out with ya, depending on the details...  and if not me, perhaps someone else is willing to be Good Guy Dorf.  :)
