What did you buy? How much did you spend? [Winter/Holiday Sale 2024 Edition]

I bought one copy of Balatro for the christmas calender

Didn't buy anything yet cause I'm saving money to get a new pc but I have gotten around 2€ and a few cents on the steam wallet from selling cards and skins so i might buy something with that (looking into either getting the forest with a few friends or spore)

I have no idea when I'll play them but I bought
Total War: WARHAMMER
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition
Grim Dawn

Got some games for me and the kids from the Steam wishlist and thus cleaning up my Steam wallet.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
Squad 44
Assassin's Creed Origins - Gold Edition
Far Cry New Dawn
Insurgency: Sandstorm
Goat Simulator 3
A Way Out
Steel Division 2 - Nemesis #5 - Raid on Drvar
A Legionary's Life
Need for Speed™ Deluxe Edition
Need for Speed™ Unbound
Detroit: Become Human
As Dusk Falls
Pentiment

I was looking at the deals and I realized I'd only play Silksong right away and it's not even out. I was going to buy something just to momentarily feel better for like 5 seconds but my mood is awful because of financial troubles I'm in at the moment – so it doesn't make sense either. Therefore I grabbed Vampire Survivors for free on Epic.

Bought for me Unity of command 2 Berlin dlc
From my husband received Frostpunk 2 and Octopath 2
What i gifted to him ? Comics. He doesn't play videogames.

Probably nothing.

Nothing

ace combat 7
everspace
state of decay 2
talisman origins

I couldn't resist, it came together so nicely.

Yeah ... I think I'm done for this holiday season. On the top of my list was actually Age of Wonders 4 with both seasons. But that's still too pricey.

got Palworld, it's real fun.
also got SOMA when it was 95% off, kinda looking forward to playing it.
I was also pretty excited to play NFS: Unbound but it ran like shit so I refunded.
also got the ultimate edition of Forza Horizon 4 before it delisted, but I already got the base game earlier this year. the DLC is nice but eh, don't really feel like playing the game as much as I used to.

thinking of getting Half Life: Alyx, but I haven't been able to properly set up my Quest 2 so I'm undecided for now. I always get some sort of error on SteamVR when I try to run a VR game.
Is there any way I can check if my machine can run VR properly?

Went for cheap-ish, short games this winter sale for a total of 10.20$ CAD.

Toilet Chronicles (horror/comedy)
Future Racer 2000 (horror)
FLATHEAD (horror)

That's pretty much it, I don't think I'll grab anything else.

Inhales.... 165$!?, but I bought only:

• Cyberpunk+DLC
• missing DLCs for Shadow of Mordor/War
• Talos Principle + DLCs for Talos 2
• pack with Balatro, Dave the Diver and Potion craft
• metroidvania pack with Bloodstained and Blasphemous
• Bully
• Divinity: Original Sin
• Risk of Rain
• Brotato
• Devil May Cry HD Collection
• Dragon Age Inquisition
• Batman Arkham Origins

Expiring pre-paid card and unused steam funds from cards used well I think.

My recent purchases. Total = ~$50

$13 for myself

Fly'N $0.99 (played)
South Park™: The Stick of Truth™ $2.99

I'm really tempted to buy the DLCs for Case of the Golden Idol and Talos Principle 2, but will probably wait for a deeper sale... I've spent too much already.

Baldur's Gate 3
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC
OMORI
Detroit: Become Human

About $90 total
Got a $50 steam card from family, so only about $40 out of pocket

I have a massive backlog and get the monthly Humble Choices (Along with the occasional other bundle), so don't want to spend too much on new content, but I decided each major sale I was going to spend $20ish(AUD) on targeted things I really wanted, stuff that was a few years old now and hadn't been bundled or I thought might not be bundled. I was going to do it last sale, but I procrastinated/thought about it for too long a missed it! (oops!) So this sale I got the Divinity Franchise:

Divine Divinity (Which I already owned)
Beyond Divinity
Divinity II
Divinity: Dragon Commander
Divinity: Original Sin
Divinity: Original Sin II

Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection
A Shelter Full of Cats
Hidden Cat Memories
Rush for gold Bundle
Dungeons & Dragons: Enhanced Classics Ultimate Bundle (of which I missed only the OST)
and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC

Forza Horizon 4
At this point, Seasonal Sales aren't that "good" for me anymore.
The lowest discount could happen at random times (theme sales, publisher sales, etc.) now.

Ok so now I have to update mine.
State of Decay 2 - $2.99
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League - $3.49 Better than the last sale I think - refunded
Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World - $9.99
Ys XIII Lacrimosa of DANA - $13.99
Nexomon - $4.99

inbento, a cute little Riddle Game, Lil Guardsman, this is a just too cute Papers, please-like with Pointn'click mechanics and the last of us Part 1. I'm planning to buy some more, but can't decide. :)
