Of all the sales and everything that has been going on since all these holiday sales started, I've got to say that I've been playing for about 1.5 weeks nothing but Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe. I forget how I found it but I've been playing nothing since I found it on Christmas and it looks like I might be playing it until Spring Break and that's just the single player mode.

Basically someone rewrote the game and has added multi player to the game.

If I play anything else this year I'll be lucky.

Thanks whoever posted the information that any game that goes on sale for 25% or 50%, WILL go on sale for 75% eventually!

Just grabbed some Civilization stuff (gods & kings, goty upgrade and civ 4) from Steam for 75% off

(I might not have even read it here, but thanks anyway)

On the last day of the sale, they usually bring everything back, for a greater discount.

Crysis Collection at $17.50 on Steam... One of the best deals I've seen. I missed this on Black Friday, definitely not missing it this time.

There going to be a "encore" weekend sale on steam as a last chance, and there are also some other games on sale which are not really advertised on the front page.

It was a pricing error, it is back to $16.99 now.

Wonder if they will honor sales that already completed?

Try adding it to the cart or checking out. Price will change. Restarted Steam and have not seen it at $4.49 since.
