RE: Steam sale thread
This Winter Sale is bloody tempting.... just got me the Europa Universalis IV Collection, 75% off! Usually it sells for 92,99 Euro - but for 23,24 Euro, I didn't think twice.
Although I have no idea whether I will ever play it or not. [X(]

Another Winter Sale highlight, "Orwell" is on sale at 20% off! [:)] Sale ends January 2nd! This Indie-Story-Detective dandy really looks quite engrossing...from the developers: "Big Brother has arrived - and it’s you. Investigate the lives of citizens to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks. Information from the internet, personal communications and private files are all accessible to you. But, be warned, the information you supply will have consequences…
Orwell is a new governmental security program that has the power to survey the online presence of every person in The Nation. It can monitor all personal communications and access any computer. To preserve the privacy of citizens, human researchers examine the data Orwell finds and decide which pieces of information should be passed on to the security forces, and which should be rejected.
Selected from thousands of candidates, you are Orwell’s first human researcher. And when a terror attack rocks the Nation’s capital city of Bonton, Orwell, and you, are immediately put to the test. Starting with a single person of interest, you'll help the security forces build out and profile a network of potential culprits.
But are these people really terrorists? What does the information you reveal to Orwell say about them? What if you find out things about them that not even their loved ones know? What is the real price of maintaining the security that the Nation is yearning for?"

RE: Steam sale thread
"Duskers" is on sale at 25% off! [:)] Sale ends January 4th! From the developers: "In Duskers you pilot drones into derelict spaceships to find the means to survive and piece together how the universe became a giant graveyard.
Explore
You are a drone operator, surrounded by old gritty tech that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. What you hear comes through a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world. Motion sensors tell you something's out there, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do it through a command line interface.
Adapt
You have to earn everything in Duskers, scavenging drone upgrades, drones, and even ship upgrades. But dangerous creatures lurk in these derelict ships, and weapons are rare, so you may need to think of a clever way to explore a military outpost using only a motion sensor and a lure.
But even if you find a way, the sensor that you rely on may break down, or you may run out of lures, even your drone's camera feed can start to fail. A favorite strategy can't be exploited for long, so you'll have to continually adapt.
Survive
Duskers is set in a procedurally generated Universe, and when you die you lose everything. You not only need to worry about what hazards lay waiting for you in the derelicts, but also running out of fuel, or parts to modify your drones and ship.
You are alone, isolated in the dark reaches of space. Only by sifting through what ship logs remain un-corrupted can you piece together what happened."

RE: Steam sale thread
So after the Winter Sale, I ended up with Witcher 3 and all the DLC ; the expansion for Flashpoint Campaigns; Revolution Under siege (looks interesting and I've been waiting for it to come in under $10); and Freedom Force (and oldie that I haven't played in a long time).
Was tempted by Dark Souls III, Civil War II and To End All Wars but resisted until next sale.
Cheers,

And I purchased Europa Universalis IV and 4 titles of the Total War series, namely Medieval II, Shogun II, Rome II and Attila.
Saw some other interesting titles but they're all "Early Access" stuff (one since January 2016...) but I don't want to get into that. When I buy a game, I want it fully functionally and not with bits and pieces possibly still missing or not working - err... wait, I purchased World in Flames here.... [X(]

Steam Reaches 14 Million Concurrent Users
Another day, another Steam record. Valve's digital distribution platform reached a new peak of just over 14.2 million simultaneous users. It's the latest milestone in the platform's 13 year history and comes shortly after its most recent winter sale concluded earlier this week. Perhaps not unexpectedly, many of the same games that led Steam in revenue for 2016 were also charting near the top for concurrent users when the service surpassed 14 million. Grand Theft Auto V, Civilization V, and Football Manager 2017 each hitting between 50,000 and 100,000 users a piece.
