I got assigned to Blue. I am pretty disappointed in day 1 sales, though I did pick up Hotline Miami and a 4-pack of Godmode. Trying to decide if 50% off Fallout 1,2,Tactics is worth it.
Forgive me if I'm stating something painfully obvious, but it seems like the smart way to play this is to wait until around 5 minutes to the end of the day, check and see if you're team's winning, and if it is, crafting a badge to get a point and be in for the raffle for free Wishlist games.
Yeah, there are also tokens to switch teams so the smart* thing to do would be to have a set of those, get at least a point each day, then 5 minutes before the end of the day switch to the winning team.
*Smart being what Valve wants you to think. It is actually designed to make them money while making you feel smart. They are _very _good at gamification.
What I'm about to say will seem strange. I'm totally bored with Steam Sales. I have a tremendous backlog. The social collecting aspect does nothing for me. Valve, Half Life 3 or bite me....
I'm left confused at Battle Forge (one of the games currently on the community choice vote). It has no Steam page, takes you to an Origin page if you click on it, and it's 33% off of free.
Surprised that it took you guys this long to become bored with them. Amazon's had some great digital sales for the last year and a half that have garnered much more of my attention. Keep your eye out for them to make your backlog even worse.

Yeah but amazon doesn't have cards and badges and shit
Also, no AmazonOS and no forthcoming AmazonBox! Pssh. Amazon is a pretender to the throne. ALL HAIL GABEN!
Also, just bought Metro Last Light Complete.... because I'm an hour into 2033, I'll finish it some day, and I'll surely want to play the sequel. Right?

If you haven't played Hotline Miami yet two things:
*What the hell is wrong with you!?
*Do it now!
"You are placed on Blue Team." NOOOOOOOOOoooooo! Forgive me Green!
Go Blue Team!
Team blue standing by.
Anyone else impressed at how well Steam turns you giving them money into a game?
Red team!
GO PURPLE!
The colour of the finest dranks, pills and fictional street gangs.
RED TEAM IS BEST!
I know there's not that many Tim Buckley fans on the site, but I think that this sums it up.
Remember. Gaben loves us, each and every one.

Green team is killing it today, holy crap.
Every team is going to win once, except blue team

So far I have the following cards:
1
3, 3, 3
5
6
8, 8
9, 9
10, 10, 10
If anyone wants to trade a 2, 4, or 7 for a 3, or 8 (I need the dupe 9)

They finally got me. Borderlands 2 GOTY and DXHR Director's Cut.
But, yes, I'm generally bored with the Steam Sales now.

Apparently, the Battle Forge thing has been fixed.
I have spent most of my money on packs of games to play with friends, but yeah single player games are on a back burner for me.

I don't think there will be any games I'll buy but I'm still interested in trying to get all the cards and make the badge for some reason.
It makes so much sense now.
Also, no AmazonOS and no forthcoming AmazonBox! Pssh. Amazon is a pretender to the throne. ALL HAIL GABEN!
