Also Steam is offering 75% discount for Spellforce (RPG/RTS) series. It is a good serie with excellent story and bare naked ladies and dragons Loved it totally!

Whole UK list here. EU deals are here. US list is here. Fortunately the deal is not ending on 1st March, it lasts almost a week, til 4th March. Unfortunately some are geo-restricted and some prices are crap, like Supreme Commander Gold – 14.95$/£4.95/19.95€. Come on!

Also check out this thread with a lot of good suggestions (official Steam forums).

And here’s an official support/bug report forum.

Hello and welcome! Here is something for you.

Good Old Games is back from expanding their titles and are offering RPGs from Divinity games (Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity) with 50% discount. Yay! I remember playing those games long time ago. Loved Divine Divinity title theme song. Get them both for $7.98 and save $8.00! Link here.

Steam gives away THQ Complete Pack for 50% less price (49.99€). And don’t forget Shattered Horizon free weekend and 50% discount (9.99€). Check the Shattered Horizon post here.

Warning: both deals suffer 1$=1€ terror, making price 35% higher than in US!

Impulse showed already yesterday some titles as Weekend Deals, but today the list has been updated. Impulse is offering now 12 titles including Tropico 3, THQ Ultimate Bundle (70% discount!) etc. Check them out here!

NB! Some items Like Star Trek Online and Savage 2 is available only for US and Canada

GamersGate has Mac week running and forgot to offer something for real gamers, so no weekend deal for normal people Check the difference picture here (opens in lightbox).

G2Play is offering L4D2, Orange Box among other things. G2Play is active in our forums, so you can always ask them questions if needed.

PS. The list probably will be updated, is something new pops up.

Some angry Steam user posted a very interesting message on the official Steam Forums. He wanted a refund for his pre-order of Aliens vs Predator game (for whatever reason, you can always refund a pre-order). But he bought the game with a discounted game Psychonauts ($2 at a time).

What’s wrong you may think? Well, according to Steam Support you can’t refund only one game if you put them both in the shopping cart. And now the guy had to “give back” (and get back the $2 of course) Psychonauts in order to get his money for AvP back.

After that he wanted a refund for his pre-ordered copy of  Battlefield Bad Company 2. I wonder why?

Whats’s our point? Watch out there kids, don’t get pre-orders with regular games!

PS Our favorite moderators already closed the topic.

If you happen to own previous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games (Shadow of Chernobyl or Clear Sky) on your Steam account you can get the newest (Call of Pripyat) for 9€ (or 50% less, depends on a Tier).

Simply buy the game and let it check if you have older Chernobyl games on your account, if yes the new one will be working ok.

However, you cannot gift Call of Pripyat with the discounted price to anyone but that’s pretty obvious.

Steam keeps growing even though the prices are very high in Europe – people are still paying for the digital downloads (although we can’t really say if Steam is more popular in USA or Europe).

Steam, now has over 25 million active users. Those 25 million users managed a peak concurrency of 2.5 million games players, racking up more than 13 billion player minutes per month.

But of course, the proof is in the profits: there are now over 1,000 games available on Steam, distributed by over 100 developers and publishers — big-boys and independents alike. All told, Steam sold 205% more units in 2009 than the previous year.

Gabe Newell added that Steam has grown immensely each and ever year of its existence. Steam’s only been around for five years, but in that time there have been numerous improvements and additions to the range of products provided by Valve, resulting in a greater-than-100-percent increase in sales year-over-year since its creation.
