Just add the DLC you want to your wish list and Steam sends you an email when it is on sale
Since it's the final hours of the sale, I decided to go ahead and purchase the DLC that was on sale that I hadn't already purchased via sales of the Steam Cards.
Turns out, over the course of the sale, I'd acquired all the Portrait and Unit packs on sale for no money out-of-pocket. The only DLC left to buy was the main DLC I'd accidentally skipped - The Republic.
I skipped over the musical DLC because that honestly isn't something that interests me, but yeah. For a game that was never "on sale" this go round, I made out like a bandit. Especially considering all I actually bought was The Republic.
Steam Cards for Dlc? que?!
*sigh* Reading comprehension...
"Have bought DLC - THROUGH SELLING CARDS"
"via the sales of the steam cards" I figured he meant the cards for discounts you sometimes get giving a hefty discount on games.
Those are clearly labelled vouchers or coupons - On steam and pretty much in any given context...
they look and are paired with cards. hence a reasonable person can call them cards. don't be a dick about this. It's an easy mistake to make, stop defending your clearly hostile comment.
They look nothing alike - And I'm not the one padding my comments with genitals.
Put it this way... it's impossible to spend less than $100 on CK2 + DLC even if you only buy things at 50% off
You either have to spend more than $100 or miss some DLC
Yep, that's exactly what I believed about Steam It's a business decision, and if Steam didn't think a sale benefited them in some way they wouldn't do it either.Nearly the exact opposite. Seriously, you think Steam saying 'hey guys we've decided to sell your product for 75% off, here's a quarter of the usual amount for each unit sold' is an option? Pricing is very much in the hands of publishers/developers.
Steam Cards for Dlc? que?!
Those cards you get via playing games or voting for the community choice deals during the Sale. Most of them sold for twenty cents a pop, and considering I had an inventory full of cards for various games plus some cards leftover from last year's summer sale...I made a fairly pretty penny. It helps I'm really disinterested in the badge system Steam has anyway (Only three games have completed badges - XCOM, Mount and Blade: Warband, and Crusader Kings II), so I spent the dribble of cash in the wallet on the .99 DLC units and portraits.
I did get two Vouchers for Pixel Piracy at 25% off. Long Vouchers too - they don't expire until April 2015.
