Barbaro 466 #1 Posted November 27, 2013 Might be fake, noticed it while browsing a 'competitor' that I semi-affiliate with in terms of TF2 servers to play on. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Steam-Autumn-and-Winter-Holiday-Sales-2013-Get-Leaked-Start-Dates-396647.shtmlhttp://angryjoeshow.com/ajsa/topic/9027-steam-thanksgiving-sale/ And of course, it's all over Reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1ps7si/steam_holiday_sale_start_date_leaked/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1psfvd/steam_holiday_sale_start_date_leaked/ If it is true, which is what it's slowly seeming to appear, that a Russian Developer, who recently just got a foot into Steam, then the sales might end up hurting this year's business more than it did last year... Goes to show that once again some people just can not be trusted with things. Which is why said things are kept secret, some things, are not meant to be disclosed until the time is right. (And to take another lunge at Privacy in general, if you don't have anything to hide, why act like it?) And it goes to show once more how the buffoons on Reddit, are not good for business. Reddit, is for idiots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- Mike - 2,728 #4 Posted November 27, 2013 It's not Reddit that leaked the sale dates, it's someone who posted to Reddit, or even someone who got the email and leaked it to someone who leaked it. Deal with it. Also, lol Secrets? on my internets? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barbaro 466 #5 Posted November 28, 2013 It's not Reddit that leaked the sale dates, it's someone who posted to Reddit, or even someone who got the email and leaked it to someone who leaked it. Deal with it. Also, lol Secrets? on my internets? This means I'm gonna get a crit rocket up the ass, doesn't it? :V The first flash sales kinda sucked, anyone find anything good yet? I'm still lurking....only good out of the first round, was Sleeping Dogs. But jeez, 20$ for EVERYTHING, that includes DLCs...not yet, I shall wait. Also, besides the upside down web page, anyone notice that if you click on Featured upside down, it flips the page, but shows Red Soldier and Pyro? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BloodRedWidow 3,508 #6 Posted November 28, 2013 I bought Shadow Warrior for my bf in the sales as an Xmas pressie. Imagine Painkiller, but with a katana and in HD. It looks soo much fun! =D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barbaro 466 #8 Posted November 28, 2013 I bought Shadow Warrior for my bf in the sales as an Xmas pressie. Imagine Painkiller, but with a katana and in HD. It looks soo much fun! =D Oh nice, I haven't tried it yet, I'm trying to finish playing the games I already have...but jeez, TF2 and PAYDAY 2 is so much fun! Can't wait to try it, the classic version is free, but I went ahead and bought the Redux with Duke Nukem. http://store.steampowered.com/app/238070/ Brace yourselves. I have decided to not buy the PS4 and thus will invest in PC games. There will be spam. First I was like... But then I heard spam... There will be blood, look forward to hearing your tales of misery as Steam empties your pockets...I'm resisting so far, knowing that the Winter Sales are coming up very soon, plus the flash deals aren't really appealing to me, some games I do want, but they're way below on my wishlist and there's a good reason for that. ~~~~ Ugh, new round of sales. I think XCOM, Dark Souls and Dead Island will be good ones, high sales...but not my cup of tea. Killing Floor flash sale is a joke, the DLC's...all 50%, even the old, OLD ones. Are you serious? Fuck that. As for Sanctum 2...trying really hard to avoid purchasing, but the one obstacle is the DLCs, is the Season Pass, like going to give all four, plus the fifth coming in February? AGH, why is this so DIFFICULT?! Edit: Found my own answer. Season Pass gives all DLC, plus the new one coming later in 2014...except a skin pack. All DLCs cost .79 right now. Skin pack costs .59 For all DLCs now and game, but no season pass = 5.95 For Game, Season Pass and Skin Pack = 5.97 (Plus entitled to the DLC coming out later in the year.) Steam, you make so much sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BloodRedWidow 3,508 #9 Posted November 28, 2013 Also, I'm saving up to buy the Wolf among Us in the Xmas sales too. It's not often a game's promo draws me in, but it happened with this game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy that one, I'm tempted to grab it as well.

fever 9,884 #12 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) I don't think news of a sale being leaked a day or two early is going to hurt a company bottom line overall.

Barbaro 466 #13 Posted November 30, 2013 I don't think news of a sale being leaked a day or two early is going to hurt a company bottom line overall. Having said that, it's not exactly a good display of ethical conduct from the dev. It was leaked over 30 days prior to the sale going live, as scheduled. It isn't going to affect Valve's bottom line, but it will maim the devloper's lines when being spooked and marked for knowingly lowering the prices even further. While no real sensitive details were released, the dates can still damage them by making this current sale effectively worthless as sales will skyrocket come December. I just don't get why the dev couldn't keep it a secret, it's supposed to be one of the really new ones from Greenlight. They ruined it for the rest of the other devs...talk about foot in your mouth. Edit: FUCK. Ended up getting CS:GO for my brother...now, should I get a copy for my asshat of a boss...or should I get a copy for my friend? He probably can't play it...must resist... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barbaro 466 #14 Posted December 2, 2013 I stare at the sale of PAYDAY 2 DLC Armored Transport...trying SO hard to resist buying it, cause I know I don't need it...even though I technically beat the game and own all the heists...I don't need it. AGH...HURRY UP AND EXPIRE YOU STUPID SALES! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
