They need to give the game out for free as well so there are more players.

The Humble Store has Alien: Isolation for $17. GMG had it for $13 but it sold out almost immediately.

So I made my first stupid mistake on Steam last night. I saw some DLC on sale that Steam said I didn't have. And bought it. Turns out I owned the "Complete Edition" of the game which already had the DLC, but didn't register as already owned. So bought stuff and actually got nothing in return.

Now I get to see if Steam will undo the purchases. Seems pretty cut and dry that they should, I mean, I got nothing for purchasing it, but I'm sure it will take forever if they do decide to.

I just got my refund. No questions asked.

A lot quicker and easier than I thought it would be.

The main page of the Steam Store is advertising the upcoming Steam Hardware in the rotation.

I wonder if that means you'll be able to use Steam Wallet to purchase a Steam Controller, Steam TV, or even a Steam Box?

Free game (Dota 2 wannabe, from the looks of it).
http://www.curse.com/betas/exclusive-bloodsportstv-beta-key-giveaway

Comes with cards too. I think that's a bug because apparently this is a pre-release beta key, but it still gave me card drops... I guess I'll see if I actually get cards to drop.

Edit:
I did get my card drops, so it's a free 12-16 cents.

Gamestop has a bunch of Blizzard games on sale for 50% off. Diablo III, Expansion, PS4 version, Starcraft II Wings and Heart. 50% is not huge when it comes to PC Deals, but I think it's a large discount when it comes to Blizzard games.

If you backed this game during the Greenlight period, you can get a free copy:

I'm surprised, honestly. It's been like, a year, but they held up their end of the bargain. Free game.

Groupees is having a bundle put together by the guy who started Who's Gaming Now?. Before it's officially released, you can pre-order it for a buck, sight unseen. It will have five Steam games that have never been bundled before.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is $6.21 on Nuuvem. No special proxy tricks needed (which is getting rarer) just muddle through the Portuguese and buy it.

There is another Humble Origin Bundle. As before, you get both Origin and Steam keys (where applicable). Right now average is 4.65 to buy everything. More to come later.

Some repeats, some fresh (to the Humble Bundle, that is).

Origin Keys are all one key, but the Steam Keys are individuals.

Well, hot damn. I was considering picking up PC versions of DAO and DAII, but didn't want to pay that much for them.

You can get the Stone Prisoner DLC (the one adding Shale to the game) for free for PC from the Bioware site. You have to "buy" it, but it's priced at $0.00

Steam made some major changes to their regional store pages and to the "Limited User" system today and yesterday.

You can no longer view other country store pages while logged in on your account. It forces you to always use the account region's store page. the "?cc=" tag is completely ignored.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6627-QSNM-5276

And now you must spend at least 5 dollars on Steam before you are no longer a limited user. The latest in a string of limitations. Used to be that retail keys (even free ones) removed the limitation. Then any purchase (even $0.12 purchases). And even redeeming Steam Gifts counted. But not any more. At least 5 dollars (US) spent total.

Steam has the LEGO Star Wars Complete and LEGO Star Wars III Clone Wars up for sale. 70% off.

First time in... forever. A rare event. It may be a one time deal, or it may be a sign of Disney changing, being more willing to put their games up for sale.

Now I just need the Indiana Jones LEGO games.

Edit:
I hadn't realized it completely at the time, but it looks like it is a "May the 4th" week long Star Wars deal. Just happens to be that this year the LEGO games are included. I would guess it's because this past year Disney finally joined Steam.

Amazon has a Focus RPG pack for $12.49

Contains: Of Orcs & Men, Bound by Flame, Faery and Mars: War Logs.

Not a bad deal for the bundle. Or Faery is on sale for $2.49 if you just want that.

I got Faery on sale on Steam a while back. I played it a bit but couldn't get into it. I wasn't even sure what type of game it was supposed to be at the time.

I will probably try again, it had good reviews, and I like turn based combat games.

GMG has the Witcher 3 pre-order for $39, regular price is $60. You get a GOG game key so no Steam required.
