Buy now or wait until jan 2 for daily deals offers?

seph22 · 12-21-2010, 12:54 AM

Any chance of it being on the daily deals from now until JAN 2?
will i get this game with other games soon as an indie pack daily deal?

I bought Bit trip alone for 5$ few days ago and now it's included with 4 other games for 5$..... i feel that Steam ripped me off and it did ruin my day.

It's 49c right now, how much more cheaper do you think it will get? wtf?

I was about to buy it and then actually started contemplating waiting because of the daily deals. Then I realized how silly that was, and in turn I realized that I will probably never play this game even if I bought it, so it doesn't matter. Then I bought it anyway.

even if it goes on sale for more, how much are you going to be out? Fifty cents? Just buy it now, I remember during either the summer sale or the last Christmas sale that the Witcher was selling great at 66% off, so Atari raised the price to 33% off.

This is the silliest thread I've ever read. You win the [Futile'est wait for cheapest game ever to get discounted even more] award, my friend

You guys obviously DID NOT read my post, I'm basically saying what if there was a new indie pack released with this game included? in that case if i wanted that pack i would get this game for free so should i wait?

The current indie packs on sale (11 of them if I'm not mistaken), are not part of the "Today's deals" deals, so it's safe to say there won't be any new ones in the coming days.

50 cents is too much for you? Who knows, they might drop the price to 25 cents, right?

Along with your award for [Futile'est wait for cheapest game ever to get discounted even more]

you should get an award for [Having day ruined by the most trivial thing]

and an award for ['loosing' $1 after buying a game from steam a few days before they start their annual massive christmas sale]

So there - look on the bright side, you are now 3 awards richer.

Thats something money just can't buy.

I'm incredibly broke right now and even I bought Winterbottom for the 0.39€ and I'm pretty sure I'll never notice that that amount of money is gone.

Just buy it... it won't force you into poverty.
In any case, Merry Christmas to ALL of you fellas and Happy Holidays

This dude is a genius troll or incredibly cheap and dense

Well, to the OP I offer some helpful feedback:

Just do what a lot of other people do, write down the name of the game you want along with maybe more games (make a wishlist while you're at it) and scan the daily deals section each and every day until Jan 2 (or whenever the sales end). Just know this: it will not be in an indie pack. Why? All the indie packs have already been set up so you can't lose any money that way.

this is true... but what about the dev here? surely his/her time creating this game is worth more than $0.49... i say we should protest the sale and buy it after it goes back up!
