Steam holiday sale - No big raffle?

Yes, it was fun. Steam doesn't give us even a Valve coupon now and so far the sales doesn't look better than of the previous ones of this year, but at least Steam Market is a nice addition if you play Team Fortress or Dota.

I don't need free games I just want a challenge with archievements. There's not really a event just a sale, which is quite boring.

This is 2012. That was 2011.

Sorry accidentally removed my comment while trying to reply :s

P.S: There was too much abusers during 2011 Sale so I don't blame them for not doing it again.

Lack of decent discounts on publisher packs - fail :(

They should have had an achievement event, but ditched the coal inventory system. Way too many people abused the fuck out of that :S

and it was quite a clever marketing move last year, because people bought games just to complete the holiday achievements. I miss that competition fun.

there are alot of xmas days this year

Instead of some game gifts Valve gave us the ability to vote for an awesome game every few hours!

It was being abused, so I'd rather not see it again.

I would like to see NS2 with -75% but i think it will be with that discount in my dreams only.

I don't care about getting free games for that, but that achievement hunt was SO MUCH FUN :c

The whole achievement thing was lots of fun. I think there should be a way to get some free games because it's Christmas. Maybe not with coal but with achievements - for example, you get 5 Christmas 2012 achievements and you get a chance to take game now or collect 5 more and get more expensive game. The whole sale thing is good but not everyone can buy games especially when there is Christmas and New Year coming (I can't buy them too) so I think next year they should think about this one more time. That whole badge thing is crap for me (because I can't get the badge anyway because I can't buy games at the moment).

Probably because last year every man and his dog created multiple accounts try and get more coal. Fucked it up for everyone.

This is why we cant have nice things
