Today is supposedly the last day of the sale.
That sucks, nutxo, that your acct. got banned. Like someone else asked, did you follow up with Steam?
I havent gotten a reply yet. And no, Ive never used a crack or a bootleg. I havent so much used a skin pack since HL and the first CS long before steam came around.
What is the Steam weekend deal this weekend? Couldn't find anything on the site about it.
Looking to pick up another heavily discounted game!
haha I don't think they're going to have one this weekend... they just finished one of the greatest gaming discounts evar!
How are many of your accounts' getting hijacked on Steam? Is someone running a password cracking program on there and hijacking those accts. w/ weak passwords?
Yes, I also found it odd how the sale ended during the middle of the day rather than at 11:59 pm of Steam's timezone.
really it says you have a 9600gt in your sig
I'm partly glad it ended sooner than I thought it would. Otherwise I would have bought more games that probably would have just sat unplayed for months. In the end up I picked up the Persia pack, i-Fluid, Defense Grid and Portal.
The odd thing is that Steam lost out on a lot of sales from procrastinators who were probably waiting until last night to buy. Curious decision for them to end the sale early.
From this thread alone, I assume they did just fine regardless
Yeah, but they could've done better.
Or maybe they were losing out too much and had to cut it short. I don't know how much $ the manufacturers make from Steam's sales. I hope it's by %age and not absolute $. Not that Steam nor the manufacturer would've made a heck of a lot in the $1-$5 games.
those 1-5$ games really add up, especially to how many people bought them.

I didn't buy anything until the night of 1/1/09. The last night of the sale. I procrastinated, but still understood when the sale ended.
It was advertised as "to 1/2/09" which means 1/1 is the final full day. It will end anytime on 1/2.
People still don't understand the difference between "to" and "through"?
They ended the sale late if anything. It could end anytime on 1/2. It makes sense for it to end earlier than later, as you've already made it "to" 1/2.
if date=1/2, sale=over
No offense, but the people who "procrastinated" and couldn't decide what to buy, are probably the same people who couldn't decide if they wanted to vote McCain or Obama. No loss to not see them during an online game, IMO...
No offense, but I think you're wrong. For example, look at the weekly sales the big box stores have. They typically run from Sun. to (or through, whatever you want to call it) Sat. That means, the sale starts on Sun. when the store opens and ends on Sat. when the store closes. It doesn't mean they end the sale at some arbitrary time on Sat. while the store is still open. There are rare exceptions, such as on Black Fri., or other early bird sales.
I also don't feel sorry for the procrastinators.
From what I've seen, stores use the term "through." This obviously means the sale should go through Saturday, not to or until Saturday. According to Tolyngee, Valve/Steam used the terms "to" and "until." Not that I really care...
