On another forum, I was reading a thread and people were disucssing the more recent Steam sales. The winter sale last year, and the summer sale last year. Several of them spent over $230 on games during those sales. One guy was talking about how he has about 219 games, but only plays about 10 of them.


I know how tempting it can get. Plus, it's just human nature to see a good deal, and feel like you can't pass it up, even if it's something you don't need. People see a game, like Just Cause 2 for $5, and they know that Just Cause 2 is a huge, big time game, and the fact that it's being sold for a mere 5 bucks.... it's just so hard to pass up.

I wonder if the ENTIRE video game industry couldn't learn something from Steam. If you price your games low enough, seems people actually end up spending even more money on a per month basis, just being split up among many different games.


UPDATE: Just went to steam store a second ago, and there are some really nice deals jumping off. Darksiders for $5. I recently bought a retail copy of Darksiders for $8, I guess I should have waited and saved an extra 3 bucks... oh well. A great deal for anybody else! Battlefield Bad Company 2 is only 5 bucks. That's very tempting, even though it isn't really my style of game. AVP for 5 bucks, Half-Life 2 Episode 2 is $1.99. My problem is, I don't have Half-Life 2, or Half-Life 2 Episode 1. I really wish they would have Orange Box for like 8 bucks.
