What is Reddit's opinion of Steam Database?

I love how DayZ is 15% off but got a 15% price increase just before the sale started.

Screenshot since it might just be an increase in germany(?)

Edit:
u/jeperty > Just to say, the devs had no idea and it was apparently a mistake on Valves part. SHould be fixed now

Yep, it's indeed fixed.

GTA V went from £40 to £51.98 just before the sale that's just scummy Source

Edit: yep, it's now '25%' off (£38.98) this is fucking disgusting that they are allowed to do this, Rockstar can suck my cunting dick, fuck me! I'm a fucking student with little disposable income and I rely on this shitting Steam sale for games I can afford, what a load of bloody bullshit

Sorry to kill the hype train, but that's extremely old. It's from way back when they were updating Steam Community to add game hubs, Steam group discussions, and some other stuff.

Somehow it worked its way into your recently-purchased list. Just ignore it.

Urrrgh. Letting players activate it on Steam would help drive more sales by increasing visibility through friends lists and 'active players' charts. Seems like a short-sighted decision.

*The steamDB page for Elite is up. Looks like it's the complete package, not just a launcher.

It would either be the music rights or the rights for the Playboy magazines, can't think of any other reason why it would be down.

EDIT: Latest change seems to have been 8 hours ago, as the game was modified in 2 packages

I spent probably over $3k on Steam games. I have a steam collection of over 650 games with a total non-sale value of more than $7k. I played less than half these games and I don't intend on ever playing more than half. It's a black hole for money and if I could undo it all with one click I totally would.

Proof
Source: SteamDB's Calculator

They gonna show some game on Steam with OpenGL ; Even METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES

And my thought is, this unknown game is about Left 4 Dead and Source Engine 2

2K really wants people to buy DLCs. They created 4 days ago a new package that include BL1 + only 3 DLCs... instead of just adding the GOTY (game + 4 DLCs).

Edit: Oh, here is the list of things they'll add during week 2: https://steamdb.info/sub/71559/apps/

Borderlands: Claptrap's Robot Revolution
Borderlands 2: Headhunter 1: Bloody Harvest
Borderlands 2: Headhunter 2: Wattle Gobbler
Borderlands 2: Headhunter 3: Mercenary Day
Borderlands 2: Headhunter 4: Wedding Day Massacre

Confirmed, they removed one DLC to force you to buy the BTA if you want a full game.

since around 2-3 weeks I noticed an increase of fishy players and I'm sure vac is realy bad currently

how can I proof this

~~steam db shows a huge drop in bans in the last 2-3 weeks http://i.imgur.com/c40qORv.png~~
my demo tool does the same, not a single ban since 2 weeks http://i.imgur.com/PBOo800.png

link to steamdb https://steamdb.info/stats/bans/

I'll take this moment to say that I've added "Daily Hidden Deals" section on SteamDB's sales page, which should list daily deals that are not featured on the front page (like MGR: Revengeance).

Another new feature is that we have price history graphs now. If you go to an app page and click on a currency name, it should load the graph.

In the coming days, we should have a new filter in our extension which should allow you to only display games from your wishlist on sales page.

Once the steam sales start, I urge you to click through to that thread and file a complaint with your national ombudsman/consumer protection group/chamber of commerce (a lot of people have posted links and addresses you can file to in that thread). Yes, it is very illegal in many jurisdictions (including Germany and Canada), and it's the second time Gaijin has done this now. Complaining about it will get Valve's and Gaijin's attention.

Really pathetic and unethical move.

Note: IF they start on the items that have been increased in price.

edit: Looks like we can lower our pitchforks. The Ace Pack was scheduled to go on sale today (against consumer protection laws) but was unlisted shortly before sales began, at around the same time posts on reddit about it came up. So while they're not doing anything wrong now, I think it's likely we forced their hand.

FYI 2K/Gearbox are playing a foul game. From a thread over at r/gamedeals:

> Confirmed, they removed one DLC to force you to buy the BTA if you want a full game.

> Why pay if you can get it for free?

Really though. Why pay if you can get it for free? Especially in 3rd world countries where gaming is a luxury. Even if you say it's "supporting the developers", who really thinks of something as noble as that? Pay for shit all you want but if you can get it for free, there's really no reason for paying.

(Note: I actually pay for my games.)

It wasn't. They're getting package 14, "Valve Friends and Family Complimentary".

That package does indeed get all future games. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that Valve makes games anymore.

"encrypted_gid_2" is a Steam-wide attribute for /encryptedmanifests/, so no, the 2 doesn't refer to Source 2. At all.

If you had looked even deeper (or were in the IRC channels), you would've noticed that it was part of a much, MUCH longer list of apps that had the same thing happen to them too, including CS:S, Free to Play (the Dota 2 International documentary), etc.

If the part after /encryptedmanifests/ had something like say "s2dev", then you'd have a reason to freak out, but right now, you're freaking out about nothing related to S2 at all.

Plus, Source 2 isn't even "finished" yet as Dota 2 on Source 2 is still in development.

Don't know how accurate this is but according to Steamdb Ids Iron Galaxy may have only gotten access to the game 2 months ago

https://steamdb.info/app/208650/subs/

45433 Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp CD Key

If that's the case then yeah, WB deserves most of the fault

Please stop spreading false information. The 2 months comes from the steamdb package "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp". If you look at Arkham Knight here https://steamdb.info/app/208650/subs/ it shows the 2 months but that literally says "Last updated". Copypasting my response from elsewhere.

>Bullshit. Check the history for that package https://steamdb.info/sub/45433/history/

>You can clearly see they created "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp" on May 29, 2014. They also added Batman: Arkham Knight to the package on the same day. The "2 months ago" only shows that the package "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp" was updated 2 months ago. It existed before that, and it included Arkham Knight before that. Please stop spreading false information.

Now, having 10 people (if that's what they only had) porting the game for a year might not be enough, I don't know and I don't really care. Just stop spreading this "2 months" or "8 weeks" thing before it becomes a bigger rumour, since it's based on a total misunderstanding.

That's completely false. It was based on this https://steamdb.info/app/208650/subs/ showing that "Iron Galaxy Devs Comp" has "2 months ago" written next to it, when you can clearly see it says "Last updated" on the column where it says 2 months ago. Idiots assumed it means Arkham Knight was added to the package 2 months ago. Copy-pasting my response from elsewhere:

>Bullshit. Check the history for that package (https://steamdb.info/sub/45433/ and click "History")

>You can clearly see they created "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp" on May 29, 2014. They also added Batman: Arkham Knight to the package on the same day. The "2 months ago" only shows that the package "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp" was updated 2 months ago. It existed before that, and it included Arkham Knight before that. Please stop spreading false information.

Most of them are probably updates to Steamworks Common Redistributables (aka "Do you want another copy of DirectX/Visual C++ runtime DLLs?"). New files are VC++ 2012 and 2013 redistributables. Each depot is around 13 MB, so it matches up after compression. See SteamDB for history (in particular change #884217).

Edit: I would like to add my personal opinion about common redists: they really should make those depots shared so I don't have to download an extra 20-50 MB of stuff that I already have when downloading new games.

Edit 2: A breakdown of sizes.

2.6 MB for VC 2013 Redist (partial? Maybe once you've downloaded the others, it gets smaller.)
12.8 MB for VC 2012 Redist
12.6 MB for VC 2013 Redist
25.4 MB for both
15.4 MB for VC 2012 plus partial VC 2013

Important note for German customers:

Bionic Commando Rearmed activates as the "Bionic Commando Rearmed Comp" meaning it's the uncut version despite it being sold as a low violence version in the German Steam Store
DMC Devil May Cry activates as "DMC Devil May Cry LV Retail" meaning its the cut version despite the uncut being sold in the German Steam store. There never existed a LV version for Germany. Apparently no one really knows what's cut there. It has a different depot than the other version too (https://steamdb.info/sub/18576/depots/) (edit: reading further it seems it's the censored Japanese version which only comes with Japanese (edit: and English) language, no German option....)
Resident Evil Revelations activates as "Resident Evil Revelations (DE)" still it seems to be uncut (no cut version for Germany was made either, sometimes games just have DE for no reason), indicated by the depots (https://steamdb.info/sub/27049/depots/)

Sources and discussion I got this from: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/foruncut/discussions/0/487870763319540618/#p1

>Before yesterday, when you opened the console to check which keys the nvidia code gave us, it was ID 56900 which was the same code given to all pre-orders. This code was registered to my account as well as I checked a couple of weeks ago. Now, the code registered to my account is 71669 which is an id that does not include the Harley quinn pre-order bonus. I did not screenshot my account back then but the thread that I posted below has some people who posted screenshots of their consoles confirming that they had the 56900 id.

>I don't see why they changed this last minute....Maybe I'm misunderstanding the steam IDs. I would like to hear from someone who bought and pre-ordered the game and see what id they have.

More ethics in game publishing than games journalism, but hey, call a dick move in anything gaming related as it is.

Here is the thing that blows my mind....

THEY DON'T EVEN REACH 2000 PEOPLE DAILY!

It makes no sense when they are forcing this in when they can't even maintain anything higher than 1500 people. Even then, PayDay 2 has more per day than KF2 does all week. Do they really want to shoot themselves in the foot?

https://steamdb.info/app/232090/

>"But I have a large library and don't know which games will work on Linux, and don't want to click every game in my library to find out which do and don't work"

Sign in with steam
Show owned games

Make no mistake. Valve are frantically working on Linux support for Steam games. Here's a graph from 6 months ago and by now they have over 900 titles working on Linux. For comparison: the total number of Steam games is somewhere around 4,000.

For anyone who didn't get the reference, the bars are the twin towers and the 2977 bans are the 2977 deaths from the 9/11 attacks.

There was no REAL ban wave today. https://steamdb.info/stats/bans/

I did the math.

Steam has more than 125m users. see here, the last few paragraphs

~~%8 owns it aka at least 5m owners.~~ this says that it has at least 9.86m owners (9,941,140 - 77,935)

The cheapest price of gmod was 2.5$ see here, USD at bottom.

Lets say that steam takes %50 of all revenue (afaik they do for gmod as it is on source engine and uses their assets). [citation needed]

He made at least 4.93m off Gmod, except taxes.

Here's the change log on SteamDB. Means nothing to me, but maybe someone with more knowledge can glean something from it.

Whatever it is it looks like it broke the mouse fix and PVP watchdog, which is frustrating.

NO MANDATORY UPDATE HAS BEEN RELEASED

Three hours ago, the Windows, MacOSX, and Linux clients were updated and dropped in size by ~30MB. The updates were only to remove the pre-Halloween 2013 branch.

Source

Servers have not been updated. No update announcement has been made. This is not Halloween.

https://steamdb.info/changelist/1417240/

here's the entire list.

Half Life 3, Steins Gate, GTA San andreas original radio update, and many more...

edit: well unfortunately this link now seems to be the entire steam library, so you kinda need to know what you are searching for. The original link doesnt work anymore for some reason.

So did everything with the name "Halo", as far as I can tell. Other things may have, too.

Searched for "Portal" for laughs. So many updated 9 days ago. No hype to be found here.

Take it one step further, if this is correct at all, Iron Galaxy has had access for ~2 months.

https://steamdb.info/app/208650/subs/

It may also mean they did the entire development on a non-Steam version and were making sure everything played kosher with Steamworks and whatnot, unfortunately we won't know that though.

The new thing isn't new, its been there for months.

https://steamdb.info/depot/731/history/

It looks like the start of the ESL updates as its that time of the year. My detective powers are telling me that there is going to be another update in the horizon that will be content updates, (stickers, tournament related features.)

They increased the price on Wolfenstein prior to this sale from $45 to $60. While this is an all-time low for the game, I would recommend against buying it - doing so supports deceptive practices. (It's actually at 67% off, not 75% off).

Edit: https://steamdb.info/app/201810/

Second Edit: Looks like this was a misunderstanding. See u/StoneGoldX 's link below.

https://steamdb.info/app/218230/history/

Looks like SOE enabled the game updating through steam (noupdatesafterinstall was removed, allowing Steam to autoupdate the game files and skip the launcher).

Because they have an older version of the game on Steam, Steam automatically downloaded the version it had. The launcher then checked, saw you were outdated, and then redownloaded the game.

They appear to have fixed this already by readding noupdatesafterinstall. The long term fix is to keep the steam depot up to date, but SOE seems to struggle with that.

Sounds like you need to find a new way to browse the store...

https://steamdb.info/sales/ can sort the sales according to % discount.

https://isthereanydeal.com/#/filter:steam,&cut/50/100 Clicking this will take you to Isthereanydeal.com and show only Steam store games with a discount that is at least 50%.

Thanks for coming here and owning up to mistakes made. It seems clear to me now that miscommunications arose with regards to the Know's video, too, and that accidents, not malice, drove the price hike of items that were apparently going on sale.

If you check the DB you can see that these guys probably worked their asses off to deliver a heavy history driven game to PC so we don't miss anything on 15th of Sept.

https://steamdb.info/app/287700/ This is why probably there's no preload too.

I'm really thankful for them, seriously. I salute them.

Edit: Final version of recommendation since it seems that the HB bundle will be the complete bundle. Here is what will be added at the end according to reddit: https://steamdb.info/sub/71559/apps/

BL1 Complete + BL2 Complete (all content including all 5 headhunter missions minus the cosmetics) for $15. If you want to play BL1 then this is the ticket :]

While I do think it is true that some of the player base was lost last month, I don't think the primary reason was the loot economy if you look at this graph, the other games lost players this month also. I think the primary reason is everyone is playing GTA V at the moment, as that's when the graphs take a nose dive.

You can also get the other two for free as well even though they say $8.99 in the store.

https://steamdb.info/app/317461/

https://steamdb.info/app/317462/

Click install there. On the Steam pop-up click cancel when it asks to install. The DLC will be available for your game now.

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/3v1sm0/early_warning_for_update_for_01122015/cxjm548

Unless it's during a major, an update to only 730 is a poor indicator of when an update will be released. If an update to GO is being readied for release, you'll likely (95%, but not a certainty) see updates to both: https://steamdb.info/app/730/history/ and https://steamdb.info/app/741/history/ .

SteamDB is another resource I like to use during Sales. It was just heavily updated last year and now you can sort by discount, too. Quite useful, and I've now gone to checking this site daily during Steam Sales instead of checking the store itself (especially since Steam removed the ability to sort by discount percentage.) Page updates are pretty quick, too.

You can get it for free when you buy Hack n Slash btw (though i don't know if you get it when you buy it or when you activate it.)

Edit: You can see it on the Steam DB page
OnPurchaseGrantGuestPassPackage - Spacebase GIFT (53471)

Edit: They just patched it a few minutes ago and it may not give you a copy now.

This page says otherwise

https://steamdb.info/app/244390/history/

You can clearly see the pack was removed from a Steam Summer Sale pack. It also shows that this pack was created 12 days ago. Could you please clarify this?

EDIT: Yes, I found the answer to this in his comment history and the answer was convincing enough for me.

Posted because i find this tactic of rockstar and others a rly cheap trick that need to be discussed here, Rockstar's not only did this, they also raised the price of GTA5 game prior to the discount, XCOM Enemy Within also did the same.

sources

https://steamdb.info/app/225340/ - actually it's taking the price of the pack so it's not actually a raised price, as originaly stated, sorry about it.

https://steamdb.info/app/271590/ the price did not get raised, the old version of 50$ got removed during the first few hours for what seems a bug that downed it's price with a huge discount, and for that time the only version possible have been the 79,90 with the bonus money that is the version that got a discount, now the version w/o the shark card is disponible again.

http://np.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/39gzqb/developers_who_raised_their_price_then_slapped/

ps: sorry about this np deal, i am kind of a noob on reddit.

edited : thanks ihmhi

edit 2: as it's seems the xcom and gta 5 prices are just caused by a wrong interpretation by my part on the steamdb and a weird bug in gta case.

Dynamic tables of Linux Steam games on-sale.

The number of on-sale games is unusual, but not rare: there are regular sales when the list reaches or exceeds this length.

Exactly how I feel when I look at my games list. I know I have a problem.

My Steam Profile (from SteamDB)

Worth: £6272 (£1560 with sales)
Games owned: 664
Games not played: 457 (69%)
Hours on record: 1,560.4h

That is over... 12 years? Stats are wrong as it only started recording hours a few years ago which is a shame. I've also stopped buying games to be honest, haven't got much this year and didn't feel the urge to buy anything in the last steam sale!

https://steamdb.info/app/371920/subs/

68222 is dev copy
68223 is consumer/purchase for a key. Possibly means b2p or requires recurring subscription. They either may not have included it with this update on Steam for testing, or it could be still through NCSoft on their site and kept off Steam. If I remember correctly, ESO allowed purchases through Steam BUT you needed to manage your subscription through the ESO Store.
68224 seems to be trial.

Edit: 68224 was unlinked from the app. (Still can be found here: https://steamdb.info/sub/68224/history/) (Thanks /u/MadBlue for the update!)

Nope, they raised the price of the base game to $80 and gave it a 25% discount bringing it back to $60, and they also happened to bundle dlc in with it.

Here's a price tracker for the game with a price graph at the bottom.

It was a rollback of yesterday's update.

Edit: Got downvoted for speaking the truth. The update spotted by SteamDB earlier to day was simply a rollback of yesterdays update for the DPR. It simply reverted the build version to the pre-update DPR version from yesterday. In addition, as WickedPlayer stated, if there was reasonable evidence for a large update, app ID 741 (the CS:GO dedicated server build) would have been updated too.

Games that are under $0.50 according to https://steamdb.info/sales/

Despair $0.09, Escape Machines $0.14, The Albino Hunter $0.19, Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge $0.19, Caster $0.20, Why So Evil 2: Dystopia $0.24, Defy Gravity Extended $0.29, Pressured $0.29, each of the 4 Commandos games are $0.39, Eron $0.39, //N.P.P.D. RUSH//- The milk of Ultraviolet $0.39, Make It Indie! $0.49, The Curse of Nordic Cove $0.49

Ok, I hope this makes you smile.

They've been updating the game on steamdb.info unusually fast these last few days, which means they're doing small changes now, the episode is close to be finished, probably.

That's because some genius person at Valve did animations on sale elements with -webkit- prefix, which makes the sale page blank in Firefox and some other browsers. Same thing happened with GTA sale.

SteamDB to the rescue: https://steamdb.info/sales/#sales-section-rogue

I mean if that's the case then shouldn't GTA5 be sold at $32.50 since that's what it costs in Brazil? Why should it cost more in America if they can afford to sell it for cheaper in Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, etc. I mean, why should digital distribution factor in what country it's going to, right?

Nope. Anyone can create a new package at any time and name it whatever they want. The package hasn't been published either.

The packages were created 8 months ago but only renamed "Half Life 3" an hour ago. Change comment: "Source: Help website disclosure".

Edit: I'm going to take part of this back: while you can create new packages for DLC items, doing that doesn't create associated Developer Comp or Beta Testing packages. The name change is still trivial to perform though.

Here's my headcanon of the story, after reading through the changelogs on SteamDB.

They started crunch-time for EP4 around mid-June.

Things got hectic around July 7. There was no daily build at all for the first time in weeks. They had sticky problems that were solved late at night, and the new build happened on the 8th at 8:30am. Hopefully a good build. They spent the day testing and testing, and it was a good build. Very promising.

Thursday July 9th was the tipping point. In the morning, they submitted the first "final version" of the episode for approval by Microsoft & Sony. Unfortunately, they found new difficult issues during the day and spent the entire day and most of the night on them, clocking at 10:30pm (edit: UTC. So actually 12:30am Paris time, my bad). These issues were the straw that broke the planning's back, and they were still there the next day.

At around 7:00pm (edit: UTC -> 9:00pm Paris time) on Friday 10th, someone with a brain probably said: "Guys, keep calm and rest. Go on long week-end with your families, celebrate Bastille day, come back on Wednesday and finish it. We won't have EP4 out before the Develop Awards ceremony, big deal. We missed our 6-8 weeks guideline, big deal. Take all the time you need, finish the best EP we've ever made, and ship it when it's done."

And so that's what they're doing. And that's what they're saying, too, like it or not. It's hard to understand when the planning is left up to the Devs: they're the worst at communicating these things, but that's also when they truly shine at what they do best.

I'll let you in on a secret about devspeak: "Soon" means "when it's done, stop bugging me about it, I have work to do". Yeah, devs are terrible at handling customers, I agree.

With that said, I believe the episode is complete now, so there's that.

Yes.

>To prepare for the SteamOS launch, Psyonix and Valve are immediately offering Rocket League for free to those who pre-order (or have pre-ordered) any of the Steam Hardware devices (Steam Controller, Steam Link, or Steam Machine).

Right now, there are over 100,000 people playing Fallout 4 according to SteamDB, and that's BEFORE the NA release. If all of them play at least 1 hour, then there's 100,000 hours of gameplay. That's way more than Bethesda or any studio could ever hope to do. Sure, they can be better about major issues, but there will ALWAYS be bugs in games this big.

Yeah, I'm not inclined to agree with Scarper here.

It was removed right in the middle of the ruckus, just before the sale would kick off. https://steamdb.info/app/244390/history/

And keep in mind they did this exact same thing last year too, but it didn't meet such a big shitstorm last summer.

Oh Dota2 :(

Everything in Steam is based on apps and subscriptions. Apps don't only include games, but also videos, DLCs, and configs (as in this case). "Beta Access to the New Steam Community" is a config, and no configs can be launched because they don't have the necessary entries to do that. Configs are usually used to grant access to certain Steam features (among other things), and to provide Steam Cloud storage (for example, "Steam Screenshots" grants you 2GB of cloud space to store your screenshots in). By owning a config through a subscription, you get access to the feature.

Have a look on Steam DB.

This entry appears in the list most likely due to the update where Valve added DLC lists to game detail pages in the Library view. I don't think they've managed to fix it completely yet.

Bullshit. Check the history for that package https://steamdb.info/sub/45433/history/

You can clearly see they created "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp" on May 29, 2014. They also added Batman: Arkham Knight to the package on the same day. The "2 months ago" only shows that the package "Iron Galaxy Studios Dev Comp" was updated 2 months ago. It existed before that, and it included Arkham Knight before that. Please stop spreading false information.

For anyone thinking of using a VPN to bypass this, don't bother.

https://steamdb.info/sub/60635/

The uncensored keys are region locked and won't activate in Germany/Japan. Even if you're on a business trip or something, the game will become unplayable once you go back to those countries.

you live in the steam tier 2 euro zone then

AFAIK

Tier 1: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Netherlands, Sweden or Switzerland.

Tier 2: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Vatican City.

6,99 EUR in T1 and 5,49 EUR in T2

EDIT: as seen here

Looks like they will be issuing gifts to people's inventory whenever they flick the switch - https://steamdb.info/sub/76935/ The press release indicates "immediately" so I imagine that will happen soon.

Retail purchases can't work that way since they don't have anyone's Steam info. So either they give out keys, or get the keys with the actual hardware when it releases

First part is correct.

Second part is not. The Ace Pack was supposed to be bundled with the rest of the summer pack. They unlisted it earlier today after the controversy came up, despite having scheduled it for release over a week ago.

I'm starting to think the ruckus got them to play it smart.

The big things realistically expected from Valve are developer related. The Steambox controller, their VR initiative, and Source 2 engine are all things Valve could talk about.

Edit: And Source 2 just got announced. https://steamdb.info/blog/source2-announcement/

You can get it even if it's unavailable for your country.

The way i did it, I went to the SteamDB page and click on the install button. Go through all the steps until they say it's unavailable in your country. Then close steam(not quit it) and launch Steam Achievement Manager(make sure you're not running any game with VAC, TF2 being one of them or you'll get VAC-banned).

If done correctly, AVA should be in the list of games that you have. Select that and unlock the 1st One Down achievement. Quit SAM after you unlocked it and launch TF2. The Black Rose should in your inventory.

Source: Got it using the aforementioned method because I'm from Singapore(one of the unavailable countries)

i hope this comment helped you get that knife. ;)

Saturdays are the high point of the week, ~35% above standard weekdays. It is going to be practically impossible to make happen on a wednesday, the only times we've been above 30k in the past has been during major events (free weekends, crimefest last year and summer/winter sales) and around large updates, right now we're nowhere close to 30k

However Overkill has set goals very realistically so far so I would not be surprised if there is a free weekend coming up because that is almost certainly going to be necessary. Maybe they have some other minievent up their sleeve. I just don't see this happening without something, because it never has in the past, even with this "road to crimefest" thing we're not even reaching past what we get on any random week.

Same as some Guns of Icarus gifts.

DW

SteamDB tracks price changes, so if anyone wants to point out any good new sales this list could help a lot https://steamdb.info/pricechanges/

Also this (found in the OP!) http://steamsales.rhekua.com/

They updated the DLC list of dota an hour ago: https://steamdb.info/app/570/history/

And they just updated the DLC info, looks like it is being able to be released very soon: https://steamdb.info/app/401530/history/

^(Also Valve guys don't care about labor day, I guess)

Yanlış kuruma yönlendirilmiş yalnız bu. Steam'deki oyun fiyatlarını belirlenmesinde Valve değil de, yapımcılar ve dağıtıcılar söz sahibi olur. Olay büyük ihtimalle şöyle oldu:

Steam TL'ye geçti, oyunun yapımcıları fiyatları düşük tuttu çünkü Türkiye'de kol gibi korsan var.
Aral fiyatları gördü ve götü tutuştu. Kendilerinin 150 liraya sattığı oyun Steam'de 75 liraydı çünkü.
Aral Ubisoft gibi yapımcılarla halihazırda iletişimdeydi önceki iş anlaşmaları sayesinde, fiyatların artırılmasını istedi, yapımcılar da kabul etti.
Steam'de bazı oyunlar türkiyede resmen dünyanın en pahalısı oldu. Sayılar yalan söylemiyor.

Suçlanması gereken Aral'dır bence. Türkiye'de yaşarken bir kere bile yeni çıkmış orijinal oyun almamıştım o manyakların fiyatları yüzünden. 250 liraya oyun mu satılır amk...

Been waiting for this a long time...one thing I don't get is why different VAC tracking sites are showing different amounts of people banned. Some are saying 500 and the other one is saying 55.

Dafuq.

Still saying only 55 people got banned today: https://steamdb.info/stats/bans/

2 months is false. It's been worked for around a year.

There's still many QA builds up on steam (password protected, but names are still visible).

https://steamdb.info/app/208650/depots/

Many of these are dated such as:

ZEP-F1_0.05-WBQA-813528-20140725

I believe their intention was to indeed put those packs on sale, but the uprising here and in the forums (even in /r/gaming) made them think it was a bad idea. That's why they didn't actually put it for sale, to avoid further bad press.

Look at this: https://steamdb.info/app/244390/history/

According to that link, they put the up-priced Ace Advanced pack in the Steam Summer Pack, which is now the one on sale. They they removed it right before it actually went on sale.

Not to mention, the thing is called "Steam Summer Sale Pack", and the up-priced pack was in there for a while, so I don't buy his excuse of "we didn't even consider it".

This it makes me a little annoyed that Scarper writes as if increasing the price before a sale is something offensive to them, as if the company would never do that (they've done it before, cough cough).

Not only were they apparently planning on doing exactly that, but more importantly, they've done it before. So, before the sale, the accusations of greed (not the "illegal" stuff) had plenty of merit to them.

Edit: words

Non-U.S. people (but possibly not EU people, since this Steam key may not work for those of us in these countries, if it's the NA key and not the WW key).
