What's the best game deal you ever got?

For me it was the original Subnautica. Was a free give away before it got popular and I had no expectations when I played it. Really enjoyed the exploration and the pacing.

Second was Axiom Verge - I got it for free before it became popular but I don't remember how. I bought it when it went to Steam because I wanted to support the creator.

Both are fun exploration sorts of games if you haven't played them. Axiom Verge is a metroidvania. Kinda a weird game, but in a good way.

Thank you! I got wrongfully terminated in my early 20s and got a bunch of money. Took a year off from working and played like 40-60 hours of TF2 a week hahaha

I didn’t gamble a ton on hats, but I had a “key guy” who would sell me 2.50 keys for 1.20. Probably spent 200 total on keys and one single unusual I pulled sold for 450! A bunch of others sold for 100-200.

I quit like eight years ago with tonnns of crates in my inventory. One day there was a glitch that made all old crates ONLY drop unusual hats. I logged on and had like 40 of those crates, usually selling for .03. They went for like 8.00-12.00 that day… spent all morning at work listing them on the market!

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
