So Midweek Madness on Steam has some sweet titles on sale now, one of them being The Talos Principle at 66%

And I still have that 50 % stackable Alienware coupon for it.
So what do you think guys? Should I get it now or wait for the Winter Sale?

Do you think it will be at least 75% off on the Winter Sale?

I really want the game, but with current obligations and exams, I wouldn't be able to play it by New Years Eve anyhow....

Oh and coupon expires on 1/1/2016, so there is a possibility to buy it during Winter Sale if it goes on Sale before New Years Eve.

The coupon lasts until 1/1/2016 though, so I'll be able to get it during the Winter Sale as well probably.

I am waiting for some non-addicts to answer :P

I am a non-addict, I don't see it going lower than 66%.
However, since you have the option to wait because the coupon expires on 1/1. I will change my answer to wait.

If you can't play it until 2016 then there's no point getting it now. In the Autumn/Winter sale it will almost certainly be cheaper, or at the very least it won't be any more expensive than it is right now.

It is a great game though. Well worth the price it's at now if you were able to play it right away.

The Winter Sale normally has the best prices of the year (along with the Summer Sale), so it'll probably be at least 66% off again before the 1st of January.

But ... I'm finding it hard to resist getting it now myself. -_-

If you have coupon, it should be a great deal. Even with 75% discount at Winter Sale, you saving less than 2€ with waiting, so if you want to play it soon, buy it now.

as others have said you might as well wait, since you can't play it now and it will most definitely be cheaper during the winter sale.

If you'll actually play it, go for it! If you don't plan to play it until winter sale, then no reason to buy right now. It will very likely cost the same or even less.

There is no way I'll play any new game other than the one I started.
I mentioned you what is going on in my life right now, plus the obligations, plus getting sick as I am now.

Waiting seems like a better option. I would probably buy it if I had wallet money right now though.

Then let's wait together and message me if there'll be a good deal on the game, I'm also looking out for it ^^

Thank you everyone so far. I am short on cash right now (spent all on giveaways here haha), and by the Winter Sale I should be able to sell some items, or add wallet money.

Plus it might go on a bigger sale then, so I think I'll wait.

Now it will be added to the bundle list as happened with Heavy Bullets :(

Comment has been collapsed.

It shouldn't since with coupon code price of game is -83% OFF :)

Heavy Bullets with discount code had almost -94% OFF

You are wrong, you need to check it considering russian price, as with Heavy Bullets. It's easy:

Russian price: 203 p.=3.14 USD
3.14/2=1.57

USA (regular) price: 40$
40*0.05=2

Hmm dunno game is 599 ryb in store without any discount , with -66% its 203 ryb and additional -50% makes it 101 ryb
that makes it again -83% discount . I dont think they should calculate it in $ or € since its region lock.

the 95% rule is always in comparison with the Steam store price, no matter if a game is region locked or which region beats the 95% discount.

With Shadow Warrior (another game with stackable coupons) happened something similar months ago.

I would wait until the Winter sale to see what kind of discount it gets. That's usually when the best discounts are offered, so if nothing else it will probably at least be the same (if not better).

Were you paying attention? Lol You need to add the coupon from Alienware.

With the coupon, it shows up as $6.79 for me.
$39.99 $13.59 (-66%)
-$6.80 with coupon
Subtotal $6.79

That is with the coupon added.

Steam automatically will add any coupon applicable when you checkout.

$13.59 is the price with the 66% discount, after adding the coupon $6.79 is the purchase price.

What, do you guys have the full package with DLCs that costs 40 $?

Because full price is 20 euros for me without any DLCs, and I can't buy them together with the game in a pack.

Comment has been collapsed.

Nope, just the game without any DLCs. For me it's 6.79 euros though.
I'd definitely buy it for 3.40€ but not for 6.79€. Lame.

Omg, I had no idea about this as well! I should move to Croatia then, if I ever want to make my own adventure game, (probably in collaboration with someone).

Well their name is "CroTeam" lol. What did you think it stands for?

Aside from Serious Sam series and The Talos Principle which were made by CroTeam, other games made by Croatian developers include: Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World, The Red Solstice, Starpoint Gemini 1 & 2, Gas Guzzlers Extreme and several others.

One of my favorite games made by Croatian developers is Bluppo, which is a DOS game, made many years ago. It's one of my favorite games from my childhood.

6,79€ for me after coupon. What a deal ! (I'm ironic, there's no way I'll pay twice the price of the other euro zone)

Well with the coupon:
half price of 66% discount is 83% off
half price of 75% discount is 87.5% off

It's your call, buy it now for 17% (6.8$ for 40$ base price) or
wait for the winter sale and get it for 12.5% (5$ for 40$ base price)

Is there even a small chance that the stackable coupons can be changed into normal coupons by then?

coupons that last longer than 1 week (badge bonus) are always stackable :) badge coupons are not stackable

There were some other alienware coupons (metro redux bundle, dead island goty) which were not stackable, but indeed they didn't last long.

Unless you're going to start playing right away, wait for the winter sale. It will be the same or cheaper, plus you get the cards from buying stuff to either sell, trade or collect.
