Steam Steam - Tópico Oficial

Pessoal se eu fizer um request para comprar um item a 0,04€ se alguém meter esse item a 0,03€ esse item vai para mim ou para quem tiver request de 0,03€
Se fores o primeiro da lista que está a comprar a 0,04€ assim que entrar um nem que seja a 0,03€ é te vendido a ti.

Uma vez comprei um sticker, tinha uma buy order de 9,60€ e foi-me vendido por 8,10€...
 
@AMMO As mid-week e as weekend começam às terças e quintas respetivamente. As Mid-week não têm um fim predefinido, se olharmos para as mid-week atuais, a promoção do Payday 2 + Shadow Warrior 2 acaba sexta, enquanto que a do ARK acaba segunda.

De resto acho que estás correto em todos os pontos :P
 
Ora e cá saiem mais umas novidades da steam....

Valve is being investigated by the European Commission over 'suspected anti-competitive practices'

By Joe Donnelly 11 minutes ago

The commission is also investigating five publishers regarding geo-blocking.

The European Commission has today opened three investigations into practices where it believes companies are trying to prevent customers from benefiting from cross-border purchases. Alongside consumer electronics and hotel accommodation, videogames are being looked into—the commission is specifically investigating whether or not companies are "breaking EU competition rules by unfairly restricting retail prices or by excluding customers from certain offers because of their nationality or location."

A press release issued by the European Commission suggests that while a number of regulatory barriers have scope to hinder cross-border sales, the investigation aims to target retailers who accentuate said barriers themselves. The Commission suggests that certain companies may do so in order to "fragment the EU's Single Market along national borders" which in turn prevents competition. The investigation hopes to tackle retail price restrictions, discrimination on the basis of location and geo-blocking.

"Under certain circumstances, these practices may make cross-border shopping or online shopping in general more difficult and ultimately harm consumers by preventing them from benefiting from greater choice and lower prices in e-commerce," reads the press release. "Such behaviour may breach EU competition rules that prohibit anti-competitive agreements between companies (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union—TFEU)."

Valve, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Focus Home, Koch Media and ZeniMax are the six games-related companies that have been singled out for scrutiny.

The press release can be read in full this way, however the following excerpt refers directly to videogames within the context of the investigation:

"The Commission is investigating bilateral agreements concluded between Valve Corporation, owner of the Steam game distribution platform, and five PC video game publishers, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Focus Home, Koch Media and ZeniMax. The investigation concerns geo-blocking practices, where companies prevent consumers from purchasing digital content, in this case PC video games, because of the consumer's location or country of residence.

"After the purchase of certain PC video games users need to confirm that their copy of the game is not pirated to be able to play it. This is done with an "activation key" on Valve's game distribution platform, Steam. This system is applied for a wide range of games, including sports, simulation and action games.

"The investigation focuses on whether the agreements in question require or have required the use of activation keys for the purpose of geo-blocking. In particular, an "activation key" can grant access to a purchased game only to consumers in a particular EU Member State (for example the Czech Republic or Poland). This may amount to a breach of EU competition rules by reducing cross-border competition as a result of restricting so-called "parallel trade" within the Single Market and preventing consumers from buying cheaper games that may be available in other Member States.

"The Commission is carrying out this in-depth investigation on its own initiative."

It's my understanding that if Valve et al fall foul of the European Commission's rules, players will be legally allowed to buy games from other EU countries' online stores at lesser prices.
 
Os preços dos jogos na Steam store aqui na Suíça são ridículos, pena que não deve ser abrangida por esta investigação, o último jogo que comprei na Steam foi o Dirt Rally a 23chf porque me deram 20eur para a Steam wallet, senão compraria em sites de keys como faço...

Se compensasse, compravas items no market da steam e depois vendias por dinheiro para o PayPal
 
Obrigado pela info dos "Deals".

Como tenho um valor elevado na carteira e gostaria de investir preferencialmente quando os jogos estejam em promoção, assim já sei em que dias fazer uma busca pela página Steam.
 
@molhopicante depois, antes de comprares, verifica neste site:

https://steamdb.info/

se a promoção em que estás interessado tem o melhor desconto possível. Vê-se muito o desconto ser reduzido durante estes deals, e às vezes mesmo nas sales. Como alguns dizem isto está muito fraco na steam, mas na minha opinião é a única plataforma na qual confio o suficiente para fazer estas compras de jogos.
