No achievements on both Summer and Holiday sales. We have every right to be disappointed so stop insulting like moron. BTW fak you Valve!

Yep, "we lost Valve" because there aren't any achievements in a sale. Valve can be completely written off as worthless. What?

+1. I think it is rather pathetic. It's just achievements. Of course it isn't like we'll get up to 75% OFF triple A titles and great Indie titles for less then a fiver. And who cares that they introduced software, are releasing Steam for Linux and have the new big screen for TV's. My god people can be idiots.

Yeah, people with opinions contrary to yours are definitely idiots. You had a few valid arguments, but you lose credibility by being like that.
Bottom line, in the past 11 months, I have spent about 20% of my gaming money on Steam and 80% on Amazon, Gamersgate and various indie bundles. The previous year, I spent 95% on Steam. I am sure others have very different experiences, but that one is mine.

I agree that Valve isn't dead. And the mediocre sale prices (which can't be all bad since tons of people love them) are not close to the top of the list of things that Valve should be improving.
Maybe they can focus on content and let the other retailers grab more market share as middle-men. They are still the big dog by virtue of their client.

Exactly. They should be, and hopefully are, working on new games that everyone has been waiting for. And they are focusing on Source 2. The sales aren't disappointing (at least not to me) I have already spent over £145 and will be spending even more. People shouldn't be saying "Valve is dead".

No, I'm sorry, but if someone says "valve is dead" because they don't like the sales is being idiotic. Whether they're an idiot or not, who knows, but it is idiotic to make such an asinine statement.

Yeah, its not like 95% of these games were in summer, autumn or even big picture sale. Who gives a f*** about big picture? I don't, I am PC player so I don't need no stupid gamepad interface. So yeah, I am disappointed with Valve (I don't over dramatize it like OP to be saying "we lost Valve"). Sale achievements is just another topic that Valve ignores and acts like it doesn't exist. We get game releases of crappy games in ALPHA, that don't even state it, like Towns or WarZ and yet awesome games are denied on steam or forced to go through greenlight. Drakensang - The River of Time sits on greenlight while Bad Rats gets released?

Drakensang - The River of Time was originally released February 19, 2010 and Bad Rats 20 July 2009. Oh my, so much more "modern" game indeed.

Isn't it nearly the same every time each sale? They will improve on the deals as the sale progresses. Things that are missing will show up in daily sales or flash sales. I like Big picture, just like many others. Some games are poorly optimised and require a gamepad, but it helps me with the fact I am currently using a LCD display and the text can be fuzzy. People who aren't silly research before they buy. Also, I do not think Steam have much to do with game descriptions. Whenever I have bought games in general I always look at reviews and see if there are problems as bad as WarZ. Remember, Greenlight is down to what users vote for, not Valve's fault. I personally don't care for sale achievements. They do not do anything, do they?

I think big picture was great idea and gets more people into the community. And so out of hundreds of games Valve published on Steam 2 werent so good it doesnt mean we lost them. Valve was a juggernaut this year that continued to grow. And hating the sale after one day is a severe lack of patience

and the workshop, but i think that launched at the end of last year :S

I wouldn't brag about greenlight, it seems that valve has no interest in inspecting those games before releasing them for purchase.
Comment has been collapsed.
I will but they still need to actually review games before placing them on sale. Or at least have a huge warning that the game is still in alpha.
Comment has been collapsed.
They stopped after a bit and buried it, which really irks me.
My bad they changed it to
"Towns is continually being developed and updated to bring you the best experience possible!"
In the about the game part.

From what I can gather from your broken English there, something happened to Half Life 2: Deathmatch? What happened?
Comment has been collapsed.
DoTA2 is pretty much released - the number of free copies they have given out >.<

for all the fanboys that scream "CS 1.6 IS THE BEST THING EVER, ITS MY PERSONAL RELIGION AND NO GAME EVER CAN BE BETTER THAN IT" it is a joke.
For normal people is a fairly good game.

Stop using their products and leave then, nobody gives a shit.

So many arguments,I just can't list 'em all.Right ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, they needed some sort of special achievements thing for games. So then it's not just buying games because they are 50%-75% off, but now you have an incentive to go buy a game and immediately have a goal set in mind. If you are one of those achievement hunters that is.
Coal would be nice, but we should be happy that they are even giving us these discounts. Do you see these kinds of things happening (Summer Sale, Autumn Sale, Winter Sale) to console gamers. No, not really. But I have nothing against console gamers anyhow, just stick with PC gaming because of these cheap games coming every few months.

Soooo...this is about the lack of achievements or event? Or am I misunderstanding the horrors that Valve has inflicted with their -33% up to -75% sale? Too low reductions? The wrong games? Or is it because they did not prepare for the end of the world and now they're doomed, lost forever?
