Oh good, another Steam Sale. Here I thought I’d have a little money left by the end of the fortnight, then this happens.
This Holiday Sale is particularly interesting too. Much like last year’s Holiday Sale, there are achievements to earn that unlock benefits, but these benefits are much more appealing this time. For every achievement earned during this sale, one of two things can be earned.
The first one is the most immediately rewarding, being either a coupon for a game discount, or a game itself. This list shows the various things that can be won, and there are a lot of things. There are lots of awesome things, and hey, I love free stuff.
The second seems worse but really could be the better of the two options; coal. The coal can be used for one of three things. You can trade your coal away for other gifts, or items in games like Team Fortress 2. Additionally, coal can be crafted into a non-coal gift when you have enough. The final and possible best use for coal is as an entry into a massive giveaway. Every piece of coal in your possession at the end of the sale counts as a new entry, and the prizes are large. The “grand prize” is every game available on Steam, which is a lot of fucking games. The other three prizes are just wishlist games and Valve games, but those are still really good too.
Steam Sales are weird for me, because it’s one of those times when spending lots of money is actually a really fun and enjoyable experience. Also, the artwork for each day (such as the image above) look amazing.
