If it's similar to iOS or android market, then Valve gets around 40-60%.
And I heard the simulators are really popular in Europe. They wouldn't be like 30 dollar full price otherwise.

Because it needs to be. Back when it was still the 2012 version, it had over $3,000 in DLC. Who's buying that? Especially without sales?
Then I look at it and see it racked up another $1,600 in DLC for the 2013 version. I ask again, who's buying that?

I can understand the appeal of a simulator, I can...but that DLC....I can't imagine there are a lot of people on Steam gloating about owning the whole set.

The only simulator i can really swallow is the flight one, just because the dad of my Ex-Girlfriend teached me he used it along with real climate predictions to plan flights before hand.

That's pretty damn cool.
You know what the worst part about TS is? I hear it has an editor.

Am i going to have to post this again?
Simulator games are fucking hardcore.
On a more serious note, people who like trains and such, often have a lot of money to throw at those hobbies.. pretty sure it sells really well, the DLC is mostly just single trains and stuff or a new route to travel, AFAIk.

Pretty sure that's like calling our CS "DLC"

Got SMB's soundtrack and a Chivalry: Medieval Warfare 4-pack with friends, the latter was only R$15 for each person, that's like $7,50 dollars.

Got Dustforce, because it won't go any lower than 50%, and my RL friend gifted me Half-Minute Hero. Worked out for me.

Orcs Must Die 2 on the ballot for next flash sale. Go vote people!
Also, Mark of the Ninja gets another 10/10 from me. Great game, controls translate well to PC and it's easy to challenge yourself if you're into that.

Had $10 left in my steam wallet, bought Saints Row 3 bundle for $7.50 the other day to keep me occupied.
Anything decent(ish) or recommended for $2.50 or lower?

He can get it + the Dlc for less with the humble bundle 7 for the same or less price than the game alone.

Except he only has money in his Steam Wallet. Not many more games for $2.50-.

Ended up getting Fable with my last $2.50. Loved it on the Xbox, not so much with Binding of Isaac when I played it at a friends house before.
Thanks though!

Mid-way into Steam sale so far. I went from 250-ish games to 430 games at the moment -sigh-

Well, finished this steam sale with The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition. I loved the first one and somewhat played the second on release but didn't have much time for it. Too bad i didn't have more money, wasted another 35$ (Yay new year with $ at 4.35) in LoL and still have left 18$ to buy Starbound on Release day.
