Steam Summer Sale V3 - Games

[QUOTE=SFC3;31071001]I can't wait for the e-mail saying "Congratulations, YOU LOSE"[/QUOTE] "BUT WE HAVE YOUR MONEY!"

How should I interpetate the following: [QUOTE]Sweepstakes Prizes. The Sweepstakes winners will each receive the top ten (10) games on their Steam Wishlist at the time of the drawing. Unreleased games will be delivered to the winner at the time of their release. Prize value is the purchase price of those games at the time of the drawing. Prizes are not assignable or transferable. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. [B]The winner is solely responsible for any taxes applicable to the prizes[/B].[/QUOTE] Do I have to pay fucking tax over my prize? My top ten is a little under 400 euro's together, I have to pay VAT over that, then I have to pay 76 euro's.

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;31071043]How do we know that we won, will they send an e-mail or something?[/QUOTE] Yes they will send an email.

I hope they'll announce that the contest is over when they send the emails, the suspense is bad enough already

Now I wish I didn't spend all that money, well, I guess I have more games to play. I regret being so excited.

Some states may do this, I'm not sure.

Wait, so is the contest over? I hope they announce when its over. I know they won't be releasing the list of people winning though. [editline]12th July 2011[/editline] Also, I bet people who sent their entry in might have a higher chance of winning. Theres probably only a few people who did that.

[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;31071103]So did you put all the games in Steam's inventory on your wishlist too?[/QUOTE] why yes i did :P

[QUOTE=Takeout;31071384]I believe it refers to any place that requires tax to be paid on anything won from a contest. Some states may do this, I'm not sure.[/QUOTE]My country has, but only for money prizes AFAIK, and its like 52%. [editline]12th July 2011[/editline] Someone(he made some FAQ about the contest too) on Steam Forums said: [QUOTE]If you don't receive an email by midnight tonight US Pacific Coast time, then you haven't won. If you did. Congrats[/QUOTE]

I would like to see what games where given away like last year.

[editline]12th July 2011[/editline] Found it.

[QUOTE=Someoneuduno;31066577]I'll look up "douchebag" while I'm at it for your sake. I have a job, most probably unlike you. If you can afford to buy 10 games from one paycheck I'll be fucking shocked. P.S It doesn't count if mummy and daddy buy your games for you.[/QUOTE] I bought my entire gaming rig on a single paycheck :smug: I.E. Not hard.

Didn't buy much this sale. Just Bioshock 2, Magicka and Terraria.

[QUOTE=nightlord;31072018]Didn't buy much this sale. Just Bioshock 2, Magicka and Terraria.[/QUOTE] Magicka and Terraria are both worth $10 easily. Hell, I would pay $15 for them both. Never played Bioshock 2, though. I bought the first one this sale, though. I feel like an asshole now. My friend logged onto Steam this morning and I jokingly said "you should buy me Borderlands." He tells me "The night of the sale I tried three separate times to gift you Borderlands. Steam wouldn't accept my Credit Cards."

Every time I see the steam emails in my inbox, I always think I won. Then it turns out they're just the steam support emails I get from steam guard/ when I receive a gift.

By valid entries did I have to do something other than sit there and wait? I mean I got 16 tickets but I didn't really do anything aside from watch and wait. Please don't tell me I had to do something I wasn't told about...

[editline]12th July 2011[/editline] By the way, are Steam download speeds still in the shitter?

So Midnight pacific? That's Noon in Central right?

Heart stops every time i get a new email.

Was gonna attempt to add 10 Free Games to my wishlist and hope to win to see what they would do if I was picked. Then I realized there aren't even 10 free to play games on STEAM and it doesn't even let you add them. Disappointment.

Last e-mail I recieved was from steam support. :(

[QUOTE=ItsMozy;31072445]Yes there are. [URL]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=851573[/URL][/QUOTE] Yeah... I just went to Genres and went to the Free to Play category.. didn't really think about the other ones.

What the fuck, I was just signed out because my email was connected to from another computer or device. OMG Valve is now hacking email accounts! [editline]12th July 2011[/editline] Password changed. Take that valve.
