You put like this no one will share with you. For RM43.75, you got the dlc and the games while you want other to pay RM40 for the game only. It is almost half of total price but you get so many while another one get so few.
The best is in RM83.75, you pay RM55 while another one only pay RM28.75 for base game only.
The base game + dlc + other games =RM50.25+RM3+RM3+RM15.41=RM71.66 so to be fair, it should be RM55 for all and another one RM28.75 for base game only

really?

base game current price RM50.25, All DLC current price RM 15.41 = 65.66

my offer
RM 40 + All DLC RM 15.41 = 55.41

whistling.gif whistling.gif One can also flip the value around, say, base game is RM50.25 and all DLC is RM15.41, does that mean that we can buy your "second" copy of base game at RM83.75 - RM50.25 - RM15.41 (you keep your DLC's) = RM20.09 RM18.09?

You Need a Budget 4 (YNAB) @ 75% off, RM25 only

Highly recommend this budgeting software laugh.gif

Loved it much better than my old method of using android app + excel spreadsheets (too much manual works).

ahh damn. i bought this early this year during sales. but only 25% off i think.
but still worth it. now i actually know where all my money is haha.

Ouch. Steam Sales Rule #1: Only buy game if it's either on Community Deals, Flash Deal, or Daily Deal tongue.gif

QUOTE(diehard1979 @ Dec 31 2014, 04:04 PM)
Is this a first time it reach 75%?so far it never reach 75% right?
So if I bought this, I only able to run it with steam right? it got android version bundle? or I have to buy another one for android?

anyone buy this wasteland 2?

Not the first time, it's been on 75% off on quite a few major sales: http://www.steamgamesales.com/p5NcR/you-need-a-budget-4

If you bought it, you can use it on: Steam, or Stand-alone copy downloaded from their website.

To obtain cd-key, just obtain it from ur steam version and paste it to activate your stand alone copy (detailed instructions @ their support website). there is no bundle, android/ios version is FREE.

you can use this license for EVERYONE in your household - your spouse, parents, children, siblings, etc tongue.gif

Very worth it especially if you want to be financially aware, or are looking for alternatives to your existing financial apps/spreadsheet system.

QUOTE(yokoloco @ Dec 31 2014, 04:09 PM)
if u buy this, u'll have an account with them. they will use dropbox as cloud server.
android/iOS can download the app and link to this. it will auto sync everything.
*
Just to further clarify on this, you don't really "have an account" with them. After buying, you get a CD Key which is retrievable from Steam, which you can activate on as many copy as you wish (of own household only).

For dropbox, you're not using their account either. You'll be using your existing dropbox (or create a new dropbox account, which does not belong to YNAB in any way).

second time. last time is on last year's holiday sale. and now it's cheaper after the currency conversion. (demit >_<)

There is a bypass by the dev if you don't want it to run with Steam. You can check the comm hub.

The mobile app is free to download.
*
Can la, at least it'll help you to save a few bucks here and there, enough to cover the conversion loss whistling.gif tongue.gif

Thank you for the explanation. With the start of year 2015 maybe i should start monitoring my expenses. First time got poison other than game here. laugh.gif

*
You definitely should tongue.gif

I've been tracking my expenses since last year through other means (some android App with Export features + excel spreadsheet), and accidentally bumped into YNAB last month.

Immediately fell in love with YNAB as it actually combines whatever I am doing manually into a single application (also comes with mobile app). Here's my full review if you want.

Actually should thank memphiz_zero88 also, was hesitating but he successfully poisoned me to get onboard whistling.gif whistling.gif

If buy Steam version, we get the mobile version as well? Thx.

As mentioned by memphiz_zero88; the mobile apps is free, it's like an app complementing the desktop app, allowing you to capture transactions on the go.

And in case if you dislike showing others that you are "playing YNAB @ steam", what you can do is, after installing the Steam version for the first time, obtain the CD key from Help > About > Copy CD Key. Download their standalone app from their website and activate it using this key smile.gif

QUOTE(sai86 @ Jan 1 2015, 01:34 PM)
in this case, we can use Steam version and standalone version at the same time?

just bought it due to very fun game  tongue.gif
*
Yes, you can. In fact, you can have multiple instances running on the Standalone Edition. here's how

An example here (sensitive details hidden): http://imgur.com/uwjCUuO

The Steam version is the main version I'm using now (previously standalone trial version);

whereby the Standalone 1 as its name implies; my testing / play ground. But hardly use it anymore, only used it when I was doing mass-importation of my 1 year++ worth of data from another app to YNAB (not recommended to import historical data, but I prefer it that way tongue.gif);

and Standalone 2 is the YNAB i set up for my household (partner), still trying to get her onboard though rclxub.gif
