    Default Has anyone else gone nuts on the Steam sale?

    Let's see here... This is my haul on the Steam sale so far:

    Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition
    Deus Ex: The Fall
    Dishonored
    DuckTales Remastered
    The Fall (yes, a second The Fall...)
    Hard Reset
    LA Noire Complete
    Lego Harry Potter 1-4
    Lego Harry Potter 5-7
    One Way Heroics
    Quake 2 (nostalgia)
    Sine Mora
    System Shock 2
    They Bleed Pixels
    The Walking Dead: Season Two

    I also found SpaceChem and Adventures of Shuggy as free giveaways on /r/GameDeals. Four of these I have already played or owned on other formats/versions or on GOG, but when it's cheap I just rationalize all kinds of bullshit to myself. Apparently my Steam game list sits at 364 games right now. I probably have 50 on GOG. A few shelf rows of 360 and PS2 (yes, not 3) games I haven't played through yet. I guess that's called optimism...

    Anyone else getting a bit carried away on Steam?

    Then you've missed a lot of daily deals These last few days will have a bunch of those deals come back though, so you should find something nice

    My brother-in-law usually does. He gets so excited and buys a ton of games then. Makes console gaming seem way too expensive lol.

    Steam is an online store to buy PC games. They have tons of sales and every now an then their sales go crazy cheap for people.

    I usually scale my entertainment purchases after a movie ticket. Basically, if I get 2 hours of entertainment out of about €10, I'm good. So books are always good value and most games I buy on sales would only need to get me an hour or less of entertainment. That's how I rationalize it anyway

    Maybe an expert can tell me/help me:

    If I have zero games and would consider a PC or online one, which one?

    I used to play Warcraft, but I eventually got out of it because I wasn't playing much versus the montly cost.
