Wait? so, if my team wins, and i do nothing, do i get a free game from my wishlist?
Thats how it works?
if so, go green!
Usually you have to contribute at least one point towards your team to have a chance of winning games.

I'm team green...
Posted 23 June 2014 - 03:55 PM
How do?
As far as I know is crafting badges. They can either be the Summer Adventure badge or can be just a badge for any game you want.

Well, some of you seem to have missed to earlier post. It's not "leet hax". It's Reddit.
Operation: Everyone Work as a Team
Posted 23 June 2014 - 08:45 PM
Honestly I'm kinda impressed with the complexity of whole idea. By breaking the marketing gimmick Redditors are ensuring that everyone gets an equal shake at the prizes --intriguing since teams were picked at random--. It also is getting rid of the competitiveness incentive to buy games, which is something the steam sales department probably isn't too happy about. While it's a noble and idealistic gesture, I don't really think it's fair to the others who wanted to play and at least pretend to root for their Psydo-teams. I still don't know exactly how I feel about it (since it is just a weird marketing gimmick turned optional game), but it's not like you're being tricked into buying things you don't want. You are getting some great games on the cheap and the only thing that is really being broken is a marketing campaign.
Tl;Dr: Is it fair to break a marketing game to achieve equality? I don't really know how I feel about it, but I'm kinda disappointed in the realization that I don't "matter" anymore and that the game is now essentially predetermined.

I understand what they're trying to do here, and really for the first couple days it worked well for steam: Get the players to buy the tokens directly from them -- where the profit goes to them and not to a game developer -- and just bank that since people are naturally competitive and want to win, even if the chances of them getting the 3 free games and being thirty out of however many people are on their team. There's a lot of people on each team and lots of people contribute points every day. It's incredibly unlikely that you'll be one of thirty of them. But the players found out after the first day that it wasn't worth it, so they seem to have done this to prevent steam from making an incredible amount of money from people over the two weeks. Smart, actually, and there's truly nothing steam can do about it unless they break up all the redditors and somehow prevent them from being together in private. Enjoy the ride and survive Summer Sale 2014.
I guess the question is, do you want to spend $20 to be one of thirty out of about two to three million people who are also being picked from to get free games? You'd probably have an equal shot at winning the lottery.

I personally don't give a rat ass about the 3 free games, I just came in for the low price games

Same here, but that doesn't mean I won't craft a badge I've got on hold on Red's Wednesday win just in case, I'm just not going to buy a lot of crap to try and craft something to do so.

Welp, I got DayZ, bought Kiba Red Orchestra 2 and just impulse bought Just Cause 2. Now that my $10 gift card is up, I think maybe tomorrow I'm going to go buy a $20 Steam card. I hear the DayZ mod on Arma II is pretty fun since it has more stuff, plus I wanna play Arma II and since it's $5 well... Anyway not sure what I'll impulse buy with the other $15, but we'll see.
Posted 24 June 2014 - 07:59 AM
Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater were pretty popular as far as I could tell. I like them too! I'd give those a shot if you don't have them already!

Same here on JC2. It was cheap and all the dlc's were cheaper than crap. But first I need to play some of these other games before I go downloading and installing it. I think I've bought 6 or 7 so far.

Already had those on the Xbox 360. However when the flash sale for Castle Crashers happened and it dropped the bundle down to $2.49 I got both games plus DLC for about $3 and it was worth buying them again.

Just Cause 2's pretty damn fun.

I just got Civ V: Complete Edition for £12

Relish in your win, pink plebian. It will not happen again. Red still has a secret weapon.
Also why can't the community votes have good games? ![]()

Red team gave reddit the finger on their little 'plan'. It was a stupid thing anyways... o3o Red Team Master Race

Posted 29 June 2014 - 05:54 PM
Red team whooped ass to put it bluntly. Once valve changed the rules red decided it was time to play. I guess that's the end of another productive steam sale. Now just to play all of these games...
Go Reds!

gg red team
consolation prize pink team,

We won the final day!
Edited by Limey the Kind, 29 June 2014 - 06:28 PM.
Posted 29 June 2014 - 06:38 PM
Huh, thought it was supposed to end on the 30th. Oh well might as well rattle off the list of everything I got (in no praticular order):
Don't Starve, Kinetic Void, Spec Ops: The Line (which unfortunately doesn't work due to integrated graphics), Plague Inc: Evolved, Counter-Strike: Complete, Hammerfight, and World of Goo.
Goddamn you Steam Sale for marauding my wallet!
Posted 29 June 2014 - 06:45 PM
Red team is forever the best.
*raises flag*

Posted 29 June 2014 - 06:45 PM
We may also have come second, too lazy to do the math for all teams but we were less than 300k points behind when all was said and done and had the next highest win rate...
Posted 29 June 2014 - 07:07 PM
Oh cool, you get a little badge for putting points in
Posted 30 June 2014 - 01:57 AM
Just bought my two last games. Empire:Total war and Mount And Blade: Warband
Posted 30 June 2014 - 02:01 AM
Empire: TW? We should play together, I love that game. If you want a good experience, Darthmod is the best choice really.
Posted 30 June 2014 - 02:05 AM
Yeah I bought that game because I wa stalking your profile and you only post screenshots of that
Posted 30 June 2014 - 03:57 AM
Yeah, it didn't even log all of my hours from it because of the old Darthmod launcher not registering playtime, but I've got about 300 total on it with those hours. About 450 - 500 total hours across all the TW games in my profile. Definitely a great series.
Posted 30 June 2014 - 08:54 AM
9 hours left to decide if I want Dishonored for £2.50.

Posted 30 June 2014 - 09:27 AM
Posted 30 June 2014 - 12:17 PM
I haven't played the game, but I watched Cryaotic's playthrough of it and it seemed kinda eh. The ending, I mean. The game's fine. Also, £2.50 is still a pretty good price!
Posted 04 July 2014 - 12:49 AM
Posted 04 July 2014 - 01:38 AM
I got:
GTA IV
Skyrim
Portal 2
Just Cause 2
Bioshock Infinite
Mirror's Edge
My boyfriend also gifted me FTL because he's forcing me to play it, but that doesn't really count since I didn't buy it.
Posted 04 July 2014 - 05:47 AM
I purchased:
Don't Starve
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified
Portal 2
Monaco
Battle Block Theater
Castle Crashers
Goat Simulator
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes
Also got a few games from bundle sites during the sale but those don't really count.
Posted 04 July 2014 - 05:55 AM
I got...
Literally nothing!
Because I spent all my money in belgium.
Posted 04 July 2014 - 05:56 AM
Posted 04 July 2014 - 09:30 AM
I didn't get as much as I wanted to!
I got Castle Crashers, Battleblock, and a buddy gave me Sonic Racing. That's pretty much it!
Posted 04 July 2014 - 10:14 AM
Posted 04 July 2014 - 05:31 PM
Tomb Raider pack? I still have the old tomb raider games on cd ![]()
Would you like my list of recommended mods for Morrowind and their compatibilities? I don't know if the steam version is able to be modded as the cd version was, but they should all work with GotY edition or Tribunal/Bloodmoon addons. I think the website is still up...
Posted 05 July 2014 - 01:12 AM
Posted 05 July 2014 - 01:14 AM
Christ. Greeb got cash cash dolla dolla.
Posted 05 July 2014 - 01:49 AM
I had absolutely no money.
So I bought Skyrim: Legendary
Awesomenauts (x2)
Hef Lef 2E1
And I think that's it.
My dad's going to kill me...
Posted 07 July 2014 - 05:46 PM
I should have bought that darn Valve pack for 19.99...
Posted 08 July 2014 - 02:55 AM
I had like $20, so I got Hotline Miami, Gunpoint, and L4D 1 & 2. Also some tf2 crap but that doesn't count.
