Tips to Survive Major Steam Sales

QUOTE
Rule #1:
From now until the LAST DAY of the sale, if a game is on sale as a daily deal or flash deal, you can buy it. If it is only "on sale" through July 23, pass. Do not buy. Save your money (you may need it).

Rule #2:
Check each day for the daily deals, and monitor flash deals. As games come up that you want, you can get them. Just continue to exercise self control for games that are not a daily/flash deal.

Rule #3:
You can purchase the large packs, such as the THQ pack or Square-Enix/Eidos pack at any time if you wish. It is extremely unlikely that those bundles will be discounted any further, even though individual games in those packs may become daily deals. If you want a bundle, go for it. Lots of games, excellent price.

Rule #4:
On the LAST DAY of the sale, Steam traditionally makes its daily deals an encore of the most popular daily deals from the previous days. Go nuts. Buy everything you wanted. New games are almost never on the daily deals during the last day. At this point, it is safe to buy anything else you've been waiting on.

Rule #5:
If you miss a game from a daily deal, STILL DO NOT BUY IT until the last day. As I said, the final day often recaps previous days' daily deals, so there is still a chance the game you missed could come around as a daily deal again. Don't rush it. If it doesn't, you can still buy it at the standard sale price on the last day, and just be sad you missed the daily deal. Just remember that if you missed it on one day, it's not necessarily too late. Save money by keeping a cool head.

Anyone know MacGuffin's Curse come with what bundle?
I found this game in my library but I can't remember where it come from.

I got extra of Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY from humble bundle, will like to trade with any of these:

Mount & Blade
Majesty 2 Collection
Hoard Complete Pack
Crusader Kings Complete
Knights & Merchants

Is that ok to trade for this?(I not selling the game, just exchange with other for those bundle game, if not allow, let me know, I just keep that batman) In humble bundle, I can send particular game as gift to someone right?

buying a UPlay game on Steam will give you a code for you to activate on UPlay client. you can activate the code directly on UPlay client without downloading the game on Steam, but you still need to download the game on Steam if you wanna play. If you want to use only UPlay, you need to buy the code other than Steam.

does this answer the question?

Oh.. That means it's not like Origin which steam provide cd-key. I use the cd-key to activate in Origin; download and play using Origin.

So, if I buy in Steam I will face double DRM before I can play such as Assassin Creed?

Please post this in the trading thread. You request for trade will be buried by other posts soon.
