Massive Steam sale

[KDR_11k]

Steam's currently in a summer sale, there's massive new offers daily and some tasks that earn you tickets which can be traded for various pieces of DLC. You can get the entire Zenith Remnant expansion for AI War for free.

Hte bad thing about boycotting steam because of DRM is that you still see viral advertising threads in /v/.

How is this different from commercial spam? Lack of link doesn't excuse lack of content. You didn't even review or comment on anything. Just posted an ad.

I wonder about you regret.

I wonder about you regret.

I do not take kindly to viral marketing, DRM promotion or commercial advertisements in general.

[Otherside]

Steam sales are generally quite good.

Stop hating.

By now everybody knows what Steam is so a link is superfluous. Also this is news.

SNICKER... regret thinks kdr works in viral marketing.. SNICKER

SNICKER... regret thinks kdr works in viral marketing.. SNICKER

I did not say he works in viral marketing, I only said I do not take kindly to it. I will not respond to further childish attacks. I did not attack KDR, I'm just questioning this thread's purpose itself.

The comment I made about lack of a link was an attempt to answer a very likely retort to my argument, i.e. I asked how is it different from a commercial spam and someone would reply "There is no link.".

I am not trolling. I am voicing my disagreement and questioning this thread, and consequently all "sale" threads.

I'm just questioning this thread's purpose itself.

purpose of this thread is to inform ppl who dont run steam 24/7 about the sale.

purpose of this thread is to inform ppl who dont run steam 24/7 about the sale.

The thing is there are countless sales on countless platforms, distribution services etc. all over the world.

[Wombat]

there are countless sales

thats why u cant know them all and some info about their existance is welcomed (well, not for everyone apparently)

i always enjoyed how ppl bother about things they dont bother about.

well mr equalizer, inform us of them.

Steam is just like Google: Geeks love it for doing the exact same thing they loathe competing companies for. So while Regret is right, everybody else is too much a steam fanboy to realize it.

SNICKER... regret thinks kdr works in viral marketing.. SNICKER

By definition viral marketing is not spread by the people who worked for it.

i always enjoyed how ppl bother about things they dont bother about.

I too, am bothered by advertisment, even though I don't care about the advertised products.

Woohoo! Today I got four points, and then I converted them into a silly magicka map! I can't wait to see tomorrow's activities.

Also a link so this thread can be considered spam:

I like Steam. That's where I found the Cogs game.

[smoth]

That doesn't mean kdr is some kind of agent of viral marketing.

and fyi. I fucking hate steam. If you lurked more you would see that. However, I am not going to, like regret or yourself bring my hatred into the thread. A lot of people have steam, a lot of people might want to know there is a sale. That is an ok reason to make a thread.

IMO my minecraft thread is a viral marketing thread for minecraft..

same for dwarffort because the guy does make $$

oh wait so any time you talk about how you like something it now counts as viral marketing... *rolls eyes*

no this is viral marketing:
district 9
AquaTeen Hunger Force

etc..

There are people who have the right to complain about this thread. Regret isn't one of them.

Also the Toki Tori challenge had some pretty good puzzles in it. The game's generally good at that but these light rays added some new tricks to the levels.

Everyone has equal rights as to what can they post on these forums as far as I know. Attacking me personally will not make the arguments I made go away.

I haven't insulted (or 'trolled' as you'd like to believe) anyone here, I've been polite with voicing my disagreement. Your accusations stem from your dislike of my different view of the situation and have been all but polite.

That doesn't mean kdr is some kind of agent of viral marketing.

Nobody ever said he is.

IMO my minecraft thread is a viral marketing thread for minecraft..

same for dwarffort because the guy does make $$

Did either of these threads get started with a mention of a sale and contain only sale related content in OP?

[PicassoCT]

If this is viral marketendering.. then cadyr is godbot?

I just got magicka and all its DLC for 8 euros.
