I hid my wallet from steam A long ago.
Hasn't bothered me since.

It's outstanding. I highly recommend it. Have you played any of the previous Total War games?

Yes, I have. I've enjoyed them before. The Medieval TW ones were my favorite.

FSX Steam Edition, DCS MIG-21, and Strike Suit Zero Director's Cuts are what I may end up picking up. I am supposed to get an 85% discount on Strike Suit as I own the original game plus DLC, but that discount always seems to come/go. Not sure if that discount is over. Unsure if I want MIG-21 for $25, seeing that it is still a beta. Still awaiting updates for some FC3 aircraft and EDGE... the small incremental updates always make me feel like I am waiting for something. And the current terrian is really starting to bore me. I am getting tired of buying beta products in general I suppose. I figure by the time it is out of beta, I can snag it for a few dollars less. But I may end up getting it anyways, because I want another fast moving fighter in DCS. I got two helos and a P-51, but my favorite type of aircraft are 1960-modern fighters. And after playing the FC3 aircraft in various forms for a decade I really want something new. And maybe EDGE will take advantage of my new GPU.  Plenty of other games out there that I want to, but not sure if I will pick them up.

Prey tell, I've been wanting to get Rome 2. I'd also like to maybe get it for my sister but she has a MAC computer. The game says its Mac compatible. Do I have to buy a special version of it for her or will the same software work too? I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with Mac systems.
15 bucks looks too good to pass up and I've heard its gotten better over the last year.

Thanks to Elite, I've got a bit of resilience to Steam's sales. I may pick up a thing or two if the deal is good, but I no longer feel like a crack addict on withdrawal symptoms.

Calling MiG-21 a beta is like calling the original BF4 release "final"...it's not. The MiG-21 is done with a few bugs. In other words, there are many "complete" releases out there that are more incomplete and have more bugs than MiG-21. It's more about the conscience of the developer wanting it to be called beta.

That's about right. The only downside is it's heavy on computer resources and some users (with what I'd call high end rigs) report FPS issues. It's fine on my old E8400, though.

15 bucks looks too good to pass up and I've heard its gotten better over the last year. Rome 2 is pretty much unrecognizable from the way it was on release and that's a good thing. The game has had over 10 patches so far.

Why are these threads always referring to Steam. There's loads of other sites with deals too.  Anyway, BF4 is currently $5 at Gamestop for PC download. http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/battlefield-4/108897 I've pretty much gotten everything I wanted to get already on previous Steam sales. The Going East DLC for Euro Truck 2 is less than $2, so I'll probably grab that.

FSX Steam, Euro Truck 2, Freespace 1 and 2 are all $5 or under. If you guys see any other sim titles on sale post them here! Sometimes they aren't the most popular on the main Steam site and are hard to find.

The Jedi Master Glad the issues are getting sorted out. Might have to reconsider. I doubt it will go below 50%, but I might wait and see if it turns up on a daily deal or if it goes on sale via ED's website. I was hesitant with the MIG-21 because even until recently (and even currently? not sure) I was seeing some issues with it when placing it in missions. Notably, invisible missiles, odd LODs, lack of skin/texture options, buggy damage model, low frame rates, and orange LODs at distance. I know the last thing I listed is fixed though. Really saddened that EDGE isn't here though... although that is another topic on its own.
