Hmm, Wikipedia tells me it became its own company in 2008, but I don't think they completely separated Paradox from Gamersgate, that would be like giving your house to a complete stranger, if you see where I'm going.
I'm actually interested in getting more info on this.

Thanks for taking care of this. I just don't have the patience anymore... I explained in my post that some of the games were redeemable too :(

Well they are competition to Steam ;)
But otherwise the game's page (if you're looking at a pack, you'll have to open up every single game) has the info, right below the pictures, on the right side of the screen. If the DRM is Steamworks, then you get a Steam key.

They changed the hint! It now reads:
"For the deals of tomorrow, grab your friends, put on your robes and take them on a magick adventure! After that it\'s time to stalk the deadly shadows, pick a couple of locks and ingeniously secured residences."
This can only mean two things:

Yeah, I'd like to get The Other Side of the Coin but 5 euros is too much considering I didn't finish the base game nor the Cthulhu-based one yet.

Today's hint:
"Tomorrow we´ll learn why we fall down (To learn to pick ourselves up and beat the crap out of Gotham badguys. But you knew that, right?) and when we´re done with that, it´s time for some serious zombie slaying! I\'ve covered wars you know."
This one's trickier, but I think it's gonna be Arkham City. Isn't the falling down bit a quote from the movie?
The zombie games, well, there's tons of games but perhaps we'll see a pack?
Finally the "I've fought wars you know?" bit is hinting at another game I think.
Anyway, the Thief collection is going for 6.74€ and it can be activated on Steam. They're GREAT games, they're First-Person stealth games where your goal is mostly to steal stuff, not kill. They're old (the last one came out in 2006) but they feature the best mechanics I've ever seen in a stealth game and they're worth playing (also, I advise not pirating them, for some reason they glitch incessantly when pirated. I know, I tried it) - if not for the mechanics, then for the background which is sort of a alchemist steampunk (not quite steampunk mind you, kinda industrial medieval age with fantasy elements... it's extremely hard to explain).
Verdict. The THIEF series is near perfection, and I dare say you'd be a fool not to play it.

The "falling down" quote is from Batman Begins, but referenced in The Dark Knight Rises. The fact that they say Gotham kind of gives it away, too. Could be either of the Batman games, though I suppose Arkham City is more likely.
"I've covered wars you know?" means it's gonna be Dead Rising 2 or Dead Rising 2: Off The Record.

We have the new hint:
"Brace yourself for the deals of tomorrow! We\'ll be getting our share of dystopic metro action, World War II gun battles and I´ve even heard there´s gonna be a super sweet deal on the most realistic sniping experience ever!"
Apparently that means Metro 2033, a WW2 game, and Sniper Elite - which, incidentally, is pretty crappy as far as sniping simulator go.
Considering they only give two games per hint, I'm sure the WW2 gun battle game is going to be Sniper Elite.
Oh, and week 2 of the deals has started, and it's Action games. I'm 100% sure next weeks are strategy and adventure (they only have so many genres in their search filters).

Well, with the end of the Steam Summer sale, and with everyone fresh out of money, there's nothing much to do but play those games.
... Or so I thought.
GamersGate, which is an incredible website owned by a great company (Okay, they're owned by Paradox Interactive and I love them for their outstanding Grand Strategy games that, honestly, nobody else has tried making. Probably has to do with simulating 800 years of world history), is still having their sales.
If you're impatient, go right over here for some great titles (new titles every day!)
If you wanna know a little more about it, here's what I gathered:
This bit here is also about Gamersgate, but mainly it's about 1C and the new IndieGala. What's happening is IndieGala is featuring a great bundle with games from 1C only, and while 1C has a lot of shitty games, they also have a pack at 100€ (discounted at 20€ from 1100€ a few months ago) containing almost every one of their game. That's a total of 82 games, and about 40 of them are good to great.
For the price, it's a great deal and I recommend it to everybody mainly because, seriously, which other publisher would do such a thing? A current comparison would be the Quakecon bundle going on Steam. The normal price is 500$, it's going for a 100$ too (so it's 50% the discount of the 1C pack) and you mostly get games from the past decade. They might be classics, but they're certainly not worth 10€ each anymore.
For the trivia, 1C is actually quite big in Russia and their main trade is business software, so I guess they can afford a huge sale on their games. But still, the great series like AIM, Men of War, Death to Spies, King's Bounty and Space Rangers make the pack worth it even for 100€. The 40 other games are icing on the cake. Who knows, it might even be discounted again.
The pack is available here
