Does anyone want that coupon? I'm not going to use it. Just shout

I think you missed his point, dethtoll. The coupons don't apply during the sale: even if he wanted to buy it for someone else, he'd use the existing 50% off instead of the 33% off that applies after the sale.

I understand why coupons were included, but I have no idea what Valve was thinking with their current implementation. "If you win this, you can buy games later for more money than they cost now!" Who would do that?

Coal really is coal: either you craft it and probably "waste" it into a coupon, or you save it for a tiny. tiny, tiny chance of winning something.

Crafting is probably better since your chance of getting a game is way higher, I guess.

If you've ever been curious about the Arkane-authored games, today's a good day to give their catalog a try.


Arx Fatalis is $2.50: (http://store.steampowered.com/app/1700/)
Dark Messiah is $2.50: (http://store.steampowered.com/app/2100/)
Bioshock 2* is $5.00: (http://store.steampowered.com/app/8850/)

(* Made by 2K Marin of course, but a portion of the level design team was of Arkane.)

I think they stipulate that it doesn't work on anything they release during the time window that it's valid.
