To be fair what with Steam's recent explosive growth that's upwards of some hundred million or so possible gamers and their systems partaking. Razz

EDIT: Yeah kinda.
https://www.vg247.com/2015/02/24/steam-has-over-125-million-active-users-8-9m-concurrent-peak/

125 million total users (Almost 9 million concurrent users.) and that was last year.

Haha, exactly Very Happy Crying or Very sad
A similar thing happens whenever the Humps get through their offline moments, suddenly one realizes that feelings that we take for granted and all the efforts are hanging by a thread, ready to become Void in the span of one millisecond. Replace Half Life 3 with the forum upgrade, and the circle completes itself.

Went with Satellite Reign and FF X/X-2 Remaster and then the money was gone. No great deals on Washdogs2, Doom and Hitmen... not that I expected it, just hoping.

(and yes I know other places has better prices, but I only had Steam wallet money left for the sales)

Most of the ones I want like GTA V or Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain still do not have big enough discount for me to bite even though they are over a year old now. At 75% off they would get me to buy them but 50% off or less still after all this time just is not as tempting.

This is the historic low for the Deluxe Edition I believe which should equate to around NZ$31 - https://uk.gamersgate.com/DD-XCOM2-DELUXE-GN/xcom-2-digital-deluxe-edition

Is it region locked for NZ? This one is confirmed to work in the US and EU, should work in NZ too I would have thought.
