Steam Sale Survival Guide for your wallet: There isn't one, prepare to cry

Or do it like me: don't have any money.

haaar haaar haaar....

thanks pal

I recall this on every sale))

but it never helps :(

So true. And try to limit your objectives and don't go out of them. And don't buy games only because the have an achievement that gives coal...

XD thanks for your help.

Ive never survived a sale before, thanks for the tips!

I thought this would be lame comic attempt at Steam Sale. But it's actually very useful for people who didn't encounter a Steam sale before :3

Never, and I do mean never buy a game that is not on a flash/24/48 hour sale. Instead, wait to see if a game you want will go onto one of these sales, then buy it. Otherwise, wait until the last day to buy the game.

Amen

This guide is great....in theory. When you when you get to the Steam's main page your common sense just jump through the window and leave you alone with all those sweet offers in front of you.

I think the best way is to put some money in your Steam wallet, and never ever exceed that budget. It makes you think what you really wanna buy and not just buy every single appealing game you see.

PS: I loled with the last point. I hope they implement it some day, although it will drive into bankruptcy.

Yeah, the indie games are also changing but is Serious Sam really an indie game?

I bought mostly games on my wishlist, or uber cheap offers. All bought with TF2 keys, no real moneys. Did really good deals, and while I could get more, I'll wait for christmas.

Though I spent moneys on Amazon, but recieved that 5 USD coupon.

My wallet lives in an abusive love-hate relationship with Steam.

At least the "wallet in CD drive" option works.

the real trick: spend $10 on the amazon bundles when they come out as they give you about $120 worth of games for specific developers... so far: square enix bundle and THQ bundle which equate to paying $20 for a 94% off on each

I'd also add that people should remember the Christmas sale is coming up. Don't settle for the "base" sale price at the end of this sale if that game you've been eyeing doesn't go on a daily deal or flash sale - just save your money until the Christmas sale in a month.

follow this should work all the time even outside summer/Halloween/Autumn/winter sales

ye i can confirm that indie page is changing

The Indie deals are active all sale though, they are not "new" deals just getting featured for a day.

Thanks, I needed just that little push to break my will and buy Max Payne 3.
