Valve have today started the big Autumn Sale with tons of ridiculously good deals. On top of that, the Steam Awards have returned so it's time to make your nominations.

Far too many games on sale, here's a few fun picks:

Another incredible deal is the Steam Controller, which has gone down to £4.00 / $5.00 / €5.50 and they only have a limited amount left so it looks like this is the last run. We've emailed Valve to see if they care to confirm this is the end of the Steam Controller.

Honestly, the Steam Controller has been incredible to the point that I confessed my love of it in an article before. Highly versatile too, with the help of SC Controller. At that price, I might have to pickup a spare, I will be quite sad whenever mine die.

If you wish to show your appreciation to certain games, you can nominate them for the Steam Awards here. You get one of those fancy profile badges if you do, you all care about those right?

You have until December 3rd to pick up your cheap games.

Quoting: Liam DaweHave emailed Valve about the Steam Controller, awaiting a response.
No reply to us, sadly.
I was just checking here to see if you'd had an update on it. I think no reply from Valve is a better sign of a v2 being round the corner. If they were about to announce a v2 then they'd be unlikely to confirm it just yet, whereas if they were ending the line they might be more inclined to let you know (right?)

Also, are there any games that have tried a 3D pixel art style? That front page is making me want one.
Also Also, what is playing on the screen behind digi-Gabe?

A Short Hike doesn't look like the front page, but it's pixel 3D (and good!)...

Ok, it may be an example of be careful what you wish for, because at full screen my eyes are having trouble focusing on the image. It's easier when it is windowed, inside the steam page, but otherwise that trailer has made me re-assess my desires :D

Quoting: subAny news on a new revision or is the Steam Controller history?
These links point to a v2 sometime in the near future:

The main change seems to be four grip buttons on the back (instead of two). Maybe force sensitive this time.

Just to add - I voted for Supraland for best game award. I really thought it was an awesome surprise with a great mix of gameplay ideas. Pure fun.

Quoting: chrI saw the "buy" button green (with no "out of stock") message for me 5 minutes ago in Estonia (with 15 eur for shipping). But by now it is out of stock again.

Someone has to write a sniper application for this. :D

I bet 30 people have written a script to buy it asap by now. :D

Bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

It doesn't work on my, granted rather old, rig.
(Still Phenom II X4 + Radeon HD 7950).
On start it tells me that my CPU is not supported.

Now you might say: Hey your machine is really old, get a new
one. Things cannot be supported forever, it's too slow anyhow.
Here is the catch: I installed it on Windows 10.
And guess what. It looks gorgeous on 1080p, D3D12 and runs
absolutely smooth.
Same machine, dual boot.

A bit sad, that Feral felt the urge to introduce
higher CPU requirements with their port.
Really wanted to support Feral to make it a Linux sale.
I was expecting the game to not run as smooth as the Windows
version, but as it doesn't run at all - there is no
way for me to make it count as a Linux sale. :(

Anyone else got his Steam Controller purchase just cancelled?

Valve just sent me a refund right now without further explaining the case.

WTF?

If anyone else is as confused as me about where the thread about this has disappeared to - the same topic was on a different post.
