Fuck you, Valve

pretty much this. or they could've kept the balance changes instead of rolling back because reddit cried

>same prices as the past 3 years of events
>no daily flash sales
>spend money to increase your worthless steam level, don't you want a friends list you'll never fill???
>adults screaming their pay to win game shouldn't be fixed

So do I have to use the free money in this sale or can I keep it for whenever?

>5k away from a discount
rip man

Should have claimed those points and got a discount immediately

Reminder that Day 3 was a cover-up.
The original standings from first to last were Hare, Tortoise, Cock, Pig, Corgi. Valve then decided to reverse the placements, giving the podium to Corgi, Pig, and Cock respectively.
Someone had an image of the standings from right before the Steam day ended but I didn't save it

I also want to know this. It the tokens don't get saved for the next sale I'll just blow them on the account leveling thing

Man they did team cock dirty, nerfed them to hell after day one but let corgi shit slide.

i think most people stopped caring about the event after this

BIRDNIGGERS ON SUICIDEWATCH

OHHHHNOONONONO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

No event has ever had its junk carry over to another, if I recall correctly.

At least the turtles beat the hares.
As it should be.

You have no one to blame but yourself.
You should have known cute wins over everything.

Thus ends a shitty event that will only be remembered for how shitty it was. An extra 5,000 free games randomly handed out is eh, honestly I would've preferred a fucking $5 discount like chink new year sale had. I guess all those weirdos who wishlisted a $15 GTA game left a big slushfund over for them to use on more copies of Cyberpunk. who the hell was wishlisting that many copies of GTA anyway how the hell did it manage to be a most awarded game on several days?

im 350 away.,.. thought it ended on the 9th and not the 7th

What the fuck is the point of leveling up your badge?

the only "profit" with high level is bigger chance to get random card packs every week, which you can sell for $0.10

Why the fuck did they end it two days before the sale ends?
I was saving tokens for two more days and I would have been able to get a discount but not anymore.

this one did. it told me it added leftover points from the chink pig sale or whatever it was called.

It increases your steam level.

The badge is easily the best part of the event because its triggering all the people who spent money leveling up the usual way (cards -> badges).

>bought a game that cost LITERALLY the amount of the free money because i thought i wouldn't make the cap

You got a bonus to your maximum point total or something depending on participation in that event. That alone should tell you that leftover points here probably won't matter.

Shittiest fucking event.

I hate you all.

2 hours ago the page said it ends on 8th

alternatively not picked such a meme animal for one of the teams, they might as well have made it a shiba-inu
anyone who didn't think the masses would have flocked to that is a retard

Attached: corgi_gold.png (403x425, 63K)

Did anyone notice certain teams speed would go slow as shit with high boost speed but would go fast at an abysmal speed.

This whole event was just Valve's way of making as much money as possible from the sale and throwing in the Greek tale with a (meme dog) twist.

Apparently now they say that the Grand Prix ends on the 7th but the Steam Sale goes on to the 9th.

was write on the rule

valve should VAC ban themself

If you care about your steam level go for the badge, otherwise take the gamble for next sale because there's fuck all else you can get with them.

Now the dust has settled

people with this badge are tranny redditors

so is a good way to spot faggots

With how popular corgis are with normies compared to the rest of those choices, the only logical choice was the corgi. Sorry you faggots were too autistic to deduce that.

You actually won? That's not too bad, user.

>I will forever have a badge of honor on my profile

Attached: grandprix2019.jpg (1041x1323, 180K)

Go to the Summer Sale, then click the Pit Stop. Under your Token Balance it says "View Details".

If you click that, it shows you leftover tokens from the Lunar New Year sale with a (?) explaining how they rolled the points over.

On the bottom of the tokens page it also says:

"Can I save my tokens for the next event?
We haven't designed the next event yet, so we can't make any promises! However, you won't be able to redeem these tokens for Grand Prix rewards after July 9, 2019 @ 1:00:00 pm EDT."

So they DID rollover this time but they might NOT rollover next time.

We don't get token anymore after buy some games now right? Fuck I should've bought MHW before

>got a DRM free single player game
Whoop de doo.

I remember seeing a chart of the team members and every team except corgi had like 300k people in it, while team corgi had 3 million+ people in it.

Goddammit

These sale gimmicks fucking suck, bring back flash sales and lock out retards from buying the same game for a while should they get pissy about buying too early

unironically the redditors choice for #1

What does Yea Forums think abot the forest? is it a good survival game (I'd play it solo)?

this is how the events always worked, the final day or two were always just top-sellers parade days where they used to slot in the best sellers of the sale event to provide one last spotlight to them.

So when am I getting my free wishlisted game given away to 5000 people?

Attached: rabbit.gif (350x400, 976K)

Does the discount expire or do I need to use it during the sale? I have 40k points and there's no games that I really want right now.

What's #1 on your wishlist, user?

You are more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than win a game.

What do I buy with my free money? I'm not spending more than an extra dollar or so.

it's not fair

Agreed. Steam events are all fucking retarded. I only have Steam to play games I’ve purchased from their store, I ignore everything else. I sell those dumb cards you earn for free money, but I still have no idea what mouth breathing neckbeard is buying them, or for what purpose.

go out and buy a lottery ticket

Hahahaha, laughing at you trancels
t. corgichad

dont buy pre assemble garbage

At least i got bloodstained for the equivalent of 14usd dollars with the 15,000 point discount. Not bad for a new game.

Glad I didn't get invested in any of this racing shit.

i get a lot of chinks and japs buying my cards. they seem to like collectibles of games i think

It's funny, cause I got a bunch of points under the details list for "purchases during lunar new year" and when I click it it brings up a bunch of purchases I didn't make dated at times outside the lunar new year event.

This stuff is so broken.

cockatiel blew its load trying to fuck with super-buffed corgi its first few days instead of realizing to attack 2nd and 3rd instead so they'd at least place, and then cockatiel ran out of points and everyone lived off of 100+ more each day

They added penalties but Corgi was so numerous and kicked up about it. They decided to just nerf the second best team because it was of comparable size to everybody else. This allowed the other teams a better chance at the podium at the expense of a minority of users.

Im more glad there is now a mark of shame badge to filter out corgifags from my friends list from now till eternity

I'll level my profile I guess.

They tried nerfing teams to make things more balanced but Corgi was so broken it just fucked the other teams more. Cocks were second so they got hit the hardest next to Corgis and couldn't recover from it.

Why did every fucking person ranked cyberpunk on top of their wishlists? It isn't even out yet and we don't know how good it'll be. Plus it's single player and will be repacked within a couple of days after its release. Instead of putting some good multiplayer/co-op games on top of their wishlistes, every single faggot placed cyberpunk on top.

>you will now forever wear the badge of shame
Feels bad, man.

Did any of you won any game?

So I got like 19k points out of nowhere, so I got Baba Is You for £3, which is pretty nice.

Is that why I stopped getting points to boost my team no matter what I did after about 5-7 days?

I was on team bird and I just could not get boost points no matter what.

>Implying such a pathetic sore loser has friends
Fucking lmaoing at you

Who gives a fuck about this dick waggling contest though

You can also try keeping them on the off-chance that the winter sale will also use such coins

BECAUSE KEANU REEVES!!!!

That's a fucking lie, they had the 2nd highest boost speed consistently throughout the whole race. Checking the multiplier throughout the race showed them getting the shaft from Valve.

Cockatiel generally had the best stats besides Corgi, it was just Valve's multipliers that caused it to lag behind. At one point it had a stronger penalty than Corgi.

Logical increments and pcpartpicker, you're not getting a competent pre-build for that little so build it yourself.

Because it's literally the only game most people don't own yet.

name one good multiplayer

because everyone is curious about it and it would be nice to try it for free, nigger.

a $500 prebuilt is not going to go very far

Can you blame them? The game's nothing short of breathtaking

How badly did we get nerfed exactly? I never saw numbers, only hearsay.
Didn't matter much, I blew my point load in the first 2 days and didn't buy more shit so I got 100 points every 2 days. It didn't reset daily for whatever reason.

>Forgot to contribute yesterday
Shit. Oh well, not like I was going to win anything anyway.

>my meme team lost

I still got points each day but every person I've heard this happened to was a cockatiel lol

Would these dumb games be more appealing if the winning team got a final day where everyone on the team got an extra (stackable) 25% off whatever game they wanted (95% at most on games that would go over 100% with it)

Level 110. I got fucked over. I didn't get any points for my previous purchases.

Thanks! But I still didn't win any games :( money well spent, true good joob goes to Lord Gabe for emptying our wallets

God fucking damn it I was literally 200 points away from the discount and I thought I'd be able to sale on just the 100 points from the last several days to get it.

Yeah this was pretty bad. Whoever / whatever team designed implemented and executed this should be fucking fired.

did people seriously complain about a scheduled, once a day time when things go cheaper than the entire rest of the sale for that day

Or buy a bunch of games with cash, increase the point limit a shit ton, get the points, spend the points and then refund all the games you purchased with money.

Labyrinth of Refrain

which one of you is right?

>badge of shame
You mean honor, user. We picked the winning team, we are on the team that made everyone butthurt.

They got rid of flash sales because they introduced refunds and it made no sense to have them anymore.

fuck now thats a bueno goy

Doesn't matter, I never win anything anyways

>Yes, the thought of someone getting something they couldn't drives them nuts. Inequality is unacceptable in current year.

That has actually always been unacceptable and always will be.

I spent 14€ after the event ended, got like 1600 points for my purchase and was able to immediately spend them in the pit stop even without the ability to boost.

I mean you can buy something cheap to make it to 15000 and get the coupon.
I got another 3000 tokens just now buying Bloodstained with my £5 coupon.

Same here. I should have paid attention to when the event ended since I was actually planning to buy at least one more game before the end of the sale that would have put me over.

You can get three discounts with that.

Devolver Bootleg with its literal 1% sale at $4.94

Or you could find a $5 game that wasn't on sale this time around. Marlow Briggs comes to mind if you want a fun little hack and slash with good production value for a downloadable 7th-gen game.

It's a collection of smaller versions of Devolver IPs with bootleg names and simpler sprites. It's a real game made up of smaller games, same developer as Gato Roboto actually. I think 1 or 2 of the 8 have a local multiplayer focus but the Hotline Miami, Ape Out, and Luftrausers parodies look solid for single player.

It's not "coming soon", idiot. Those are mount&blade bannerlord and Halo master chief collection. You can add games available for pre-ordering on top of your wishlist.

IS OVER

They didn't get banned for this one particularly

These was an exploit which people used to gain millions of levels

as far as I know they didn't even get perm banned

wished theyd remove games from the front page that you already owned or put on the ignore list

Tokens came from increasing your boost meter and boosting, without the boost meter you cannot earn tokens.

you no longer need to boost, tokens are now automatically added to your pit stop

they indicate that youve pledged eternal servitude to israel

I have 30k points but I am not allowed to use them because I didn't join a team, rip

Your odds were slim. Even if we give generous odds like 5k games given a day and "only" 50mil people joined your odds would be so low as to not matter.

I won a free Valve Index kit (with controllers).

Valve sales are not about the costumer anymore, the industry caught onto it and now does calculated sales, it's all about moving units now, they know retarded normals will buy it at a discount, no matter the discount.

That's how steam sales are these days. There are some good deals, but nothing amazing.
They got rid of flash sales and daily deals because they don't work very good with refunds.
Devs stopped competing to be featured on the front page so there are no more super deals.
Steam sales are now for picking up a few games you want to play, but don't want to pay full price. If you miss them this sale, just pick them up next sale, no biggy.

Still, feels good getting a couple free games during the sale by stockpiling $5 credit tokens.

Can I save the bonus savings for after the sale? I've only got enough money to barely get 15k tokens right now.

Because most people want it for free instead of paying $60 for it? Plus it's the most anticipated game of 2020.

Neato. Got my profile to level 42.

Went from 18k to 3k.

Anyone getting problems redeeming the 5 bucks token? I have one activated but the second one isn't going through. It keeps telling me to redeem my tokens which I have clicked on multiple times now.

All you had to do was play games. If you had a new one, all those achievements just shat out points. Sorry you hate video games, man.

I'm sorry ;_;

Do you still get tokens for buying shit? Confirm or deny with proof, you fucks.

you still had to spend money to cash them out user

so then you have to use them on full price games and not during the event itself? You're not thinking too hard. Or maybe you are which would be depressing.

They're either stupid or lying and I can't tell which any more. I would normally say it was all just another obtuse social/economic experiment (as Steam Sale games have always been), but this was exceptionally stupid and I can't imagine what the experiment could have been. Unless it was just to collect data on the outliers who actually went anything but Corgi.

If you had 60000 tokens then you know exactly how the event worked. Stop pretending to be retarded. Achievements gave points, not boost meter capacity.

Privileged asshole generation everybody. Did you play sports where losers get trophies too?

You "cash them out" by participating in the race. Boosting turns the points into tokens and the tokens get turned into steambux or other shit no one cares about.

no proof from me but you still get them

I-it can't be

What they should have done, to apologize for the fucking travesty that was this game, is to give everyone who participated the $5 coupon for free.

I mean, if Epic can give a $10 discount on every game, Valve can give a $5.

Hi user. I just tried buying something, and the money I spent was converted directly to tokens immediately (although these tokens aren't enough to buy anything). Screenshots, of course, are the best proof I can offer.

By the way, I find it interesting that even the sales tax cents were turned into tokens.

Attached: Untitled.png (1096x1811, 253K)

Oh no shit. Pig event tokens and all the purchases you made since the lunar new year were secretly tallying up points. I thought those came from playing games. My bad.

Attached: 1455894597623.png (560x407, 20K)

How'd you manage that? You spent that much on games?

so 5000 people from any team will win. Does that also include the top 3 winners getting rewards too? If not then what was the fucking point of playing

Yeah I think thats where people got the main chunk of their tokens, not from spending cash. Spending cash to earn tokens in this actually blew.

I put it on top simply because it's the most expensive game on my wishlist

ITT: popular means reddit

Indeed, those didn't get banned either

I bought a Valve Index + Knuckles set, didn't like it so I sold it to some Canadian fuck. Still kept the points and shit though.

>1K under another discount
FUCK

Every 1st, 2nd and 4rd team won games every single day as long as they placed 1st 2nd or 3rd. Games were given out at the end of race days, they aren't all being handed out suddenly now. You'd know if you won, because you already would have.

FFXIV, I'm having so much fun with the free trial, god dammit, i hate being a poor fag

If i spend money, do i still get tokens? Im thinking about using 1 dollar to round up my medal to lvl 120

Extra tokens in the Chinese Pig Day event were also gained from purchases, though. Were unspent Piggy Tokens worth more in this event? I figured it was $1 == 100 Tokens either way.

so how do I know if I got my game?
do I have to wait or I lost?

Don't spend any left over tokens, Like the lunar coins they will be useful next time.

It seems you do still get tokens from purchases, as of right now. See .

I have never seen an event they had to keep updating information on how the event works basically until the last day. What a cluster fuck

steamcommunity.com/id/TimeMachines/
ayy

but I remember them saying at the end 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would get prizes. Not 5000 of any team. They screwed us even harder now

Seems like it because theres no way I deserved 13000 total boost limit for buying 2 5 dollar games

That's equality for you.

store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Reviews_DESC&category1=998&filter=ut2

FTL is only $2.50. You can get all three The Room games for $3.25. The Valve Complete Pack is $7, definitely complete that collection if you haven't already (worth it just for mods even if you're a valve anti-fanboy). Frictional Collection is likewise $7, or you can get just the Penumbra collection for $1 (which honestly I'd recommend, SOMA was okay but Amnesia is hugely overrated).

Oh yeah thats definitely not something that happened, its strictly the 5k

In tokens or did they hand out a 10 dollar off to any corgis that were there from day 1?

Last time i checked, the rules were:
Daily prizes:
100 people from each winning team (total 300 people) get games, each day, for 10 days (total 3k)
Grand prize
3k people from the first place team, 2k from second place and 1k from last all get a game, total 6000 people
Total of people who get prizes: 9000

Grand prize
1k people form each of the top 3 teams for a total of 3000 people

I know they just said 5000 random people were chosen here at the end, I have no fucking idea where that came from

because being on the winning team was only cosmetic and having to hope you get picked for one of 3000 free games for 1st place out of 3 million people is a crapshot

>made playing games for more boost totally pointless (not even mentioning fact that you got tens or hundreds of thousands of points retroactively anyway, i dont even know why the fuck people were buying games for the sole purpose of exploiting them for points)
also i didnt really pay a ton of attention during this clusterfuck event, but if i recall, there was a period of time where boosting would reduce both your points AND your capacity

honestly, they should have just eliminated the concept of boost points/capacity entirely and just simply said "the more money you spend the more points you get" rather than obfuscating it behind a ton of confusing bullshit, because that's basically what it amounted to anyway

You should have seen the writing on the wall arouynd the start of it all. I ended up getting about 30k points and used it to get the $10 discount. Not sure what I want to get, but that's a pretty good deal for doing next to nothing.

I’m liking baldurs gate so far. Can’t wait to get to later levels with my sorc

Just in case you're a third-world ESL who genuinely didn't understand the rules: the tokens were awarded for a combination of participation in the event and money spent on Steam, but had nothing to do with each team's standing in the race.

I just put the most expensive game at the top of my list. Since it isn't released, it's full priced, whereas even other $60 games during the event would have at least a 10-20% discount, typically. Why would I want my free game to be something that's cheap?
