My most regretful purchase from Steam is buying "Trackmania United Forever Star Edition" for £19,99 when there's a free version of the game available.

What's your most regretful purchase and why?

Please, don't act like you're smart because you were able to follow this overly simplistic piece of crap. If all you're going to do is press W for 45 minutes then just make it a video. Then we can watch five minutes of it and realize right then that it's just a poorly written indie project and turn it off without worrying about money in the first place. What a pile of garbage.

Dear Esther is a great as to say art-house game. It has great soundtrack, it has beautiful sceneries, it has a bit of randomization and a bit of mystery. It's true that not everybody liked it and were expecting more. But as it was mentioned earlier there was (and is) an opportunity to download free mod version before buying commercial release.

Bypassed my hatred of steam years ago just for Gmod. Clocked countless hours building fortresses and then spawning armies of zombies to assault it, fighting back with homemade cannons, launchers, and zombie slaughtering dumpster cars. Ahh the memories. After months of that I started building spaceships out of scrap and used spacemod to ride them into orbit. Never survived a launch!

SoC was a great game with unique atmosphere, I just remember most of the promo materials and movies before it came out (E3 materials <3), vehicles, other stalkers which could beat the main objective before you do... It seemed to me to be ultimate successor of Fallout serie, just 100 levels above predecessors or anything else. It was great and also not even close to what was promised.

But with each next game it was more clear to me that they're just trying to get as much cash they can get before engine gets old (at least they made hunting anomalies more challanging), the only thing I liked about CoP was reworked side-missions with added some story to them instead of randomly generated but in the other hand it resulted in very few side-quests, completed them very fast, ugh). I can't forgive them less and less their awesome CGI movies.
