Where do people get so many steam games?

i don´t pay full price for ANY game on my account... the sales work very fine, that and the bundles, bundles are everywhere

Over 100 of my 159 OWNED games were obtained from me trading TF2 items for them. The reason for this is that my husband doesn't like me spending all his money when I already have such a huge backlog of games to play - so I just trade for them to bypass his complaining! Most of my other games I bought on sale, with a very small handful of games that I actually paid full price for.

I have only 10 games :'( some1 plz giMMe a gamE. I'm a p00r kiD from russiland. plz plz plz plz plz plz!

I have over 500+ Games, most of games comes from sales or trades tbh.

Been on Steamgifts aprox half a year now and no wins sdaly :)

i should get points for making such an active post,but i have the humble bundle android, be mine and gale the newest one all for a dollar each. I also have won vvvvv, which i was actually supposed to get binding of isaac, and king aurthor role playing agme for free

Bargain Hunting cause cheap is good. :)

Step 1: Steam sales

Step 2: Indie bundles.

I did some math. Not including my recent purchases or those spent on the Indie Bundles, I've spend about $1150 on my Steam account over three years. Though it's also important to point out I have over 500 games (583 according to my profile), tons of DLC, and have had quite a few brand new games when they were released. That said... I really shouldn't spend so much, but I'm a compulsive buyer and the sales make it hard to resist.

I pull them out my ass, nice and fresh. Would you like some free games? :D

I invested 10 euros, got 56 games.
Trading rocks :D Purchased games with TF2 items, some games were later re-traded for better or more games and so on.

I have ~200 games. Not a single one of my games was bought at full price. I wait for really huge Steam (and recently, Amazon) sales or bundles to come around. I'm also extremely lucky with giveaways and contests (and I don't mean just here).

Steam Calculator thinks my account is worth $1990.93. I think I've paid around $450 for everything.

They have jobs.
:O - my face when I realise that Switzerland's minimum wage per hour is 15$

most of my steam games came from cheap indie bundles. i've probably donated $300-400 to EFF while buying humble bundles for cheap though, so depending on how you look at it i spent a lot!

Seems quite obvious.....

I traded TF2 items for most of my games XD

Sales, and Steam Xmas Sales, and Indie Bundles.

I think I spent about 100 dollars or less(probably more around 60-70) on my 170ish games.

Bundles, sales, traded and won about 15 games during the last Steam event.

Sales, bundles, gifts from my boyfriend and friends, trading, contests, etc! :)

I trade stuff for most of them, and buy the few that come out in retail copies that I want.

buy tf2 > trade tf2 items for games!

Bundles, sales, trading, winning, having spare cash, there's too many ways.

I get them on sale, I think every game I have was under 10$ at some point

Every one of the big steam sales is filled with super "developer bundles" where you can buy everything one company makes for half the price of doing it individually (actually usually less than half the price)

Thats a good place to start.

Sales, patience, and trading.

I'm proud to be a game collector
