What did you buy? How much did you spend? [Winter/Holiday Sale 2021 Edition]

i think less than 10, besides it's from selling cards lol
so it's not much to begin with

Seriously considering Kena: Bridge of Spirits and Scarf on Epic.

I ended up setting a new personal best (personal worst?). Never have spent that much before, purchased some really expensive titles and a ton of less expensive, not all discounted. Basically, I needed some New Year gifts, and I provided them for myself.

God of War (not directly on Steam)
Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo
Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot The First Cases
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Deluxe
The Forgotten City
Firework
Emily is Away <3
Generation Zero
Gas Station Simulator
Wildermyth
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
Twin Peaks VR
Titanic VR
Apollo 11 HD
Milo and the Magpies

Plus bought some gifts, plus received The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, Phoenix Point and No Man's Sky as gifts, plus won Dying Light 2.

bought payday2, wanted rainbow siege too but not enough monies

Still waiting for Choice. Ended up returning Escape Simulator to buy it cheaper on HB. Currently in my cart but unsure if I'm gonna get them:

• Portal bundle (never actually played them)
• Hidden through time (most unsure about this one)
• No Umbrellas Allowed
• Henry Stickmin Collection
• Coin Game

In my HB cart but trying to trade for it:

• The Stanley Parable

Considering buying on grey market:

• Prison Simulator

I've spent around 5x more this season compared to my normal seasonal purchase habits I believe.

Steam

• Deep Rock Galactic
• DRG - Supporter, Megacorp, and Dark Future DLC's
• Project Zomboid

Official Retailers

• Crashlands
• For the King
• Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition

I bought a game for the switch and some other accessories too.

Other

• Xbox One X Controller and wireless adapter for PC
• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

I may have went a bit overboard this year. Usually I'll only buy one or two things as the time constraints are real as it is. The controller and adapter were a bit of a spontaneous purchase as my old one has stopped working. As for totals, I am in the upper level of the poll currently... To be fair, about two-thirds of this was bought with holiday giftcards. If that counts at least.

I only bought Mirrors Edge Catalyst because it was cheap and loved the first one

• Trouble Witches Origin - Episode1 Daughters of Amalgam -
• Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure
• Halo: Spartan Bundle
• Finding Paradise
• The Caribbean Sail
• Lair of the Clockwork God
• Heaven's Vault
• Skatemasta Tcheco
• WayOut
• Ghosts of Miami
• Spud's Quest
• Zaccaria Pinball - 27 Retro Tables
• Black Mesa

I'm waiting for the humble choice. Since I have this next one for $6. Then I'll decide if I want anything. I have some Steam credit, so might finally use it. Will see.

The Artful Escape
Wildermyth
Tails of Iron
Wytchwood
Dyson Sphere Program
Inscryption
No Umbrellas Allowed

Rainbow Six

I know, it has a really high card game/solitaire factor this time around :)

I generally only buy on sale (preferably deep sale) so my spending peaks around holidays then almost nothing the rest of the year. I don't do pre-orders and I don't feel the need to buy the newest shiniest game. If I want it, I wait for a sale. This year it was around $60 in discounts and bundles not counting humble choice (which I got on a discount for $100 for a yearly 12 game sub).

Headliner: NoviNews

almost 57 € total, bought games Indie games that likely won't get bundled & EA games which probably also won't get bundled. and ETS2 map extensions because I plan on finally buying a driving wheel for my PC and will need some more roads to justify the purchase... Now if only I did not spend 11 hours at work every day...

• Starman
• Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst
• Aseprite
• Niko: Through The Dream
• Milo and the Magpies
• ClusterTruck
• 1bitHeart
• Montaro
• Distance
• Distance - Soundtrack + Art Book
• Furwind
• Obsurity

I spent less than $500 ARS total (it's probably around 2 or 3 USD) and over half of it was from selling cards so I'd say it was a good deal, specially for Aseprite.

I just bought Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest thanks to a recommednation of Dingbat in some other thread for 4,19 €. That'll be it, I suppose. Backlog is strong and colourful :)

On Steam I finally decided to buy Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne Master Edition and grabbed Wizard of Legend and Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People, totaling around $43.

On GMG I bought an XP pack that came with 4 free games (Absolute Drift, 99Vidas, Anomaly II, and Shape of the World + $3 credit) then Card Quest, Drink More Glurp, Caveblazers, and Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?!, so around $4.50 there.

Was very tempted to get Jump Force Deluxe and Character Pass 2 since this might be its last sale, and then there were a couple Fanatical BYOBs that I wanted a couple games from, but idk.

I also thought about getting the full version of Godfall on Epic, but I'll probably just stick with the Challenger Edition for now.

On Steam:
Bud Spencer and Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans
SPORE™
Mars Power Industries
NeonCode
Mushroom Cats 2

And Subnautica elsewhere.

And I'm still contemplating buying a few games (Witcher III, Oxygen Not Included, Pharaoh or Zeus) that always hit the same discount but I still haven't played my bigger summer purchases and I have 10+ management/strategy/city builder type games at the top of my backlog that I'd really love to play but all demand serious time investment.

I only bought 3 games from Steam: Mirrors Edge Catalyst, Destropolis, Spacebourne

I was happy with the non-Steam bundles and a few deals prior to Winter sale.

Cat Quest 2
theHunter: Call of the Wild™ - Bloodhound DLC

I just wanted to buy that kitty game, but couldn't resist getting the DLC too for some reason. O_o All in all, about $11 CAD.

Blasphemous (6,24€)

In a desperate attempt not to add to my backlog (still games from last Winter Sale unplayed), I'm only buying to play right now:

SpaceNET
Horizon Chase Turbo - Summer Vibes
Plants vs. Zombies
