Ah, but isn’t it about how much you like what you DON’T buy?
As @Left_Empty points out, what good is that if you can’t add 30 bucks of funds to your Steam Wallet? If I want to buy Overload ($29.99) I either have to slap some garbage game that costs 49 cents onto my purchase or buy 50 bucks worth of Steam Wallet funds.
Hold up, hold up. Is this something someone says every time? Potentially me? Because repeated posts in periodic threads like this are like nails on the chalkboard to me. I would hate to do that to someone.
I have constant buyers remorse, I’m fully convinced what I didn’t buy was better than what I did, and that whatever I’m currenlty playing is not as fun as what I’m not.
FOMO is a harsh mistress.
If you don’t own this, its a fantastic add on item. For <$2 :D
It’s not usually you Tim. But someone always says it. I think it was me about 7 years ago.

This page should let you add $30, unless I’m missing something wrt the Paypal offer.
7 years ago the sales were still good. Over the last few years (now that they’re a market leader and there’s a reaction against race-to-the-bottom pricing) they’ve been bad. This is the worst I’ve seen.
However, all my games are pretty new. Maybe it’s typical and I haven’t noticed.

When I click on that link all I see is take-em-or-leave-em preset amounts. Is there a way to customize the amount right before purchase or something that I’m not seeing?
But maybe I’ll take @lordkosc’s suggestion and just add that game or another under $5 one that looks good.
Well this sale came just in time to help fill a PS4 sized hole in my heart. I have been transitioning towards PC gaming again and somehow one of my kids talked me into passing my PS4 on to her. Still scratching my head on how she managed to do that.
Starting off this sale with the Prey-Dishonored 2 bundle. Never finished them on the PS4 so looking forward to Prey survival mode. Also picked up Spellforce 3. Not too happy that they abandoned the zoom in camera view that made the first two games so special but now seems like a good time to give it a chance.
Probably going to buy Kingdom Come Deliverance before the sale ends as well. Honestly not sure why I haven’t picked this up yet.
I wouldn’t recommend Darkest Dungeon to my worst enemy.
I thought about Fallout 4 and then didn’t get it. My vs. Steam level has risen considerably.
Cool!
Obviously YMDV.
So I picked up Atlantic Fleet. I have it on a tablet, but it looks so damn good on PC.
Also Immortal Redneck and another shot at Bio Inc.
I want to name a guy after our shitgibbon in chief and torture him. If it finally runs for me.
Tempted by Obduction for $11.99, pretty good Myst-like?
Not worried too much about anything on sale on my wishlist or otherwise (owning every current console and getting the Humble Monthly and other bundles on top of that will wean you of Steam sale fever fast), but it’s well worth noting (if you’re up for an 18+ visual novel) that critically-acclaimed Christine Love venture Ladykiller in a Bind is on sale for a historic-low $5.
