The Steam Winter Sale is now live

I've been having a look through, and if you don't have the various Valve big games, e.g. Portal, Portal 2, Half-Life 1 and 2, Counter-Strike - They're at a massive 90% discount in this sale. Also Psychonauts, Teslagrad, World of Goo, Serious Sam 3 BFE are 90% off too. (The Valve bundles are even more so... e.g. 93% off for Half-Life bundle.)

Dungeon Warfare, one of my fave games of 2017 is at very high discount - 75% off. (Usually it is no more than 50% off.)

Crypt of the Necrodancer, Shadowrun Returns, Valley, Hard West, SOMA, Talos Principle, Dirt Rally are at high discount - 80% off. (Great games!)

Tomb Raider (2013), Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are 85% off - fantastic games, at massive discount.

Tempting for me (i.e. I don't own it yet) is Salt and Sanctuary, which is at 60% discount. And 'Downward' at 40% off. And 'The Culling' at 75% off.

Note - I went through 225 pages of Linux Steam games, to make the summary above. (TSKKKK!) 20 games per page ~ 4500 games/dlc/films FOR LINUX on sale!

I have too many games. :( It would be silly for me to get more this time around. *thinks about Overwatch that's currently installing on the PS4*

Got 10 games, looking foreward to trying and collecting stuff to play on the big screen with friends.

90% off the steam link - I'm hoping that means they have new hardware coming out, though with my luck it properly means that the link was a flop and they are bailing :(

I picked up:

* Jackbox party pack 4 (has working linux build but not "supported")
* Poly bridge
* Hand of Fate 2
* Deus Ex collections
* Hollow Knight

I will probably be playing the party pack this christmas or new years party. I have 'keep talking and no on explodes' and a few other linux party games so this should be a good collection of fun this year.

I've a file named "ToPlay.txt" that is already too long.
...but Motorsport manager is 75% off and i missed it from the autumn sale.
Is 8,74 EUR! (On Fanatical even less)
Now is mine, finally :)

I bought my Steam Link during the last sale, I've been using it every day since it arrived & it works really well over my wifi network. :D

Looking at the sales pages on Steam I need a filter for all the stuff I already own.

Although I already own enough games to play, I think I will go for Talos Principle this time. It's finally 80% off (last sales were only 75% off) and a decent offer.

I just bought Hidden Folks to play over Christmas with my wife. And finally bought Tomb Raider as well. I really want to buy Thimbleweed Park or Quern, (or one of the other ~100 games on my wishlist,) but I might be a bit over budget already. We've spent more on Christmas gifts than I expected.

There is a possibility that they're making a 4k version of course.

You can do that through the SteamDB sales page.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's not filtering out games I already have on the sales page, ps thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'd not seen that page before. :D

After you have logged, there is an option under the search parameters "Hide owned games".

I have an Nvidia shield (which I love). It has hardware accelerated streaming (h264 encode/decode) but the host has to run Steam on Windows, which is really disappointing.
Does the Steam Link stream from a Linux Nvidia desktop running Steam? Are all games supported?

I ended up buying Space Pirates and Zombies 2 which is currently 30% off.

g000h mentioned World of Goo and Dungeon Warfare. Both great games and worthy of a look even without a sale. (and Dungeon Warfare 2 is in the works, but not released yet.)

Oxygen Not Included is also a fun little builder game that is worth a look. It is currently in Early Access, but quite playable. They are having regular content updates about every 6 weeks. I'm not sure how much more they are adding, but one example is that they plan on having "advanced research" tasks, but you do not have anything that will let you research past "intermediate" now. They just recently (less than one month ago) added linux support which I have found to be quite stable. BUT... I think it is only 20% off right now... I believe you only qualify for 40% off if you have a previous Klei games purchased already. (Like Shank, Don't Starve, or Darkest Dungeon.)

It works with a Linux host, but not all games work

Tempting for me (i.e. I don't own it yet) is Salt and Sanctuary, which is at 60% discount.

IMO well worth it at that price. It's like Hollow Knight with Dark Souls style levelling and stats. The platforming is just as intense as the boss fights.

Well, I've just bought Salt and Sanctuary (60% off) and Pharaonic (66% off). Rubbing hands together and cackling.

Addict!!!! - No. You're just a cool person supporting Linux gaming.

I got Torchlight 2 for $4, Tomb Raider for $3, and Portal 2 and The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human both for $2. Trying to decide between Sublevel Zero Redux and Lords of Xulima for the remainder of the $20 gift card. Anyone played either of those two?

A look at my backlog might support your jovial accusation :D
