What did you buy? How much did you spend? [Summer Sale 2024 Edition]

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - € 1,99
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - € 2,69
Middle-earth: Shadow of War - € 1,99
Batman™: Arkham Knight - € 1,99
Need for Speed™ Payback - Deluxe Edition - € 2,99

€ 11,65 in total

After finding I already had Beacon on itch.io, and Jedi saber slashing free on EA, I ended up adding Super House of Dead Ninjas and Islanders to the Witcher 3 and calling it done. All very cheap.

(And I did earn potatoes this week. About two strawberry baskets full.)

For nostalgic reasons (it was my first ever played multi player LAN experience back in the early nineties) I've bought "Rise of the Triad - Dark War". Surprisingly it came along with a free version of the 2013 version of "Rise of the Triad" in the library.

I would like to get a few more titles high up on my wishlist but discounts aren't big enough and prices are way too high for what I want to/can spend on them.

Finally gave in to a purchase I had delayed for over 2 years! I bought AC Origins! Had played half of it years ago.

I accomplished a personal/professional win this week, and this is one way of celebrating it :)

Kudos to Golwar for creating this thread right after the sales started, since in other years it was usually after the sales and the games mentioned couldn't act as suggestions for others.

Super House of Dead Ninjas

Fanatical's NSPCC Charity Bundle

And on Steam:
Immortals Fenyx Rising - Gold Edition

American Truck Simulator

And my splurge buy. Demo actually worked:
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist

$35 for:
Helldivers digital deluxe edition ($10)
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack ($2)
Wolfenstein Youngblood Deluxe ($6)
Wolfenstein 2 New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition ($9)
Then I bought:
Wolfenstein Alt History Collection ($7.18)

Regarding the Wolfenstein games, the reason I did it this way, and I am annoyed that I had to, was because the Alt History a Collection DOESNT APPEAR to include any of the DLC for the two games that have it, therefore I had to buy the deluxe versions first, then get the other games, as part of the bundle for the deepest discounts. Still, just over $22 for 4 games with all available DLC isn't at all bad.

SMAC-PP is probably my utmost favourite purchase though, I played the original a fair bit back in the early 2000's and had since lost the CD's. Now I have it and the expansion pack in my Steam library for all time! And yes, I play it, it runs very well on modern tech, really enjoying it!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293830/Forza_Horizon_4/ Ultimate Edition, 19.99€ (yes I claimed the 3 free DLCs)
This one is the most expensive gaming-related purchase I have ever made (previously CS Prime at 14.29€)... I hope I won't regret it. :')
