Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale 2019 - June 25th to July 9th | I live my life one sale at a time.
- Thread starter Uzzy
- Start date
I "think" buying games and unlocking achievements gets you points you can use towards discounts.
basic terms from my understanding
buy games = increase boost capacity
play games = get fuel that are used for boost capacity.
fuel can not be greater than boost capacity. You burn fuel which also burns your boost capacity. burnt fuel gives tokens for the various things to use it on (discounts, etc.)
Only played 1, which was very short but really atmospheric and the puzzles were challenging but fair, I didn't need to google help for any of them. The game's got quite a creepy ambience about it. Not much of a narrative, but there is a subtle journey playing out, that makes you want to play the next game when you finish, hence why I plopped less than £1 for the sequel.
Vastly.
You earn points and tokens to spend to increase a number that is compared with a number on other teams.
It's not at all compelling and just stupid. Especially from a company LITERALLY FOUNDED ON MAKING GAMES.
The only thing to care about is to get enough tokens to get Level 1 of the badge and say "Fuck it" because the competition means nothing and the corgis will win every day because whoever picked the teams has no clue about how people think.
It did in the lunar sale, so this should do it too.
Added a TLDR which should be better:
TLDR VERSION:
You get Fuel (THE WHITE NUMBER) by doing Steam activities in the page. You can boost as much fuel as the "Boost Capacity" ( THE RED NUMBER) per day.
The races are daily and you will get your maximum "Boost Capacity" (THE RED NUMBER) at the start of the day. Buying games increases your "Boost Capacity" (THE RED NUMBER).
When you boost and burn fuel and reduce the "Boost Capacity" for the remaining of the day. The burned fuel becomes tokens.
You can transform tokens into Discounts and Steam Sale stuff.
You can use your tokens in the REST AREA
Ok. That makes sense. So you have to spend $150 and play a bunch of your games to get a $5 coupon? Seems a bit much.
If you spend 150$ you would get 5$ coupon each day if you do all the boosting. (just based on the increased "Boost capacity")
I almost did, then the Switch came out and...the rest is history
I'm pleasantly surprised to see The Room Three receive a 75% discount, since this is the first time it's been on sale.
I think Thumper and Redout: Enhanced Edition are at their lowest price on Steam so far too.
Disappointed that GTAV's price went up in-between adding it to cart and trying to check out. The Premium Online Edition originally had a 65% discount rather than the 49% it's now at.
I bought the game last week when it went on sale for $8 because I didn't think it would get any cheaper than that - so I still have the opportunity to refund it.
But if I refund the game now, will I still get the discount for original Dark Souls owners ($4) or will the price stay at $24?

I suppose this is probably a question for Steam support, but does anyone know how loyalty discounts work on Steam?

I have no idea what i'm doing with this Grand Prix game, but I just gained 10 steam levels by leveling up the badge.
Thanks!
Sorry I'm stupid. but it's okay to just buy I want want in one time instead of a few each day for this "gimmick"?
So Team Corgi is a trap right? Like yeah it's going to win but you'd probably rather come in second on a team with half as many people to draw against for the prizes.
As a reminder for people: the full list of Humble Monthly games are revealed on July 5th, before the end of this sale (July 9th).
If you're a subscriber, I'd recommend not buying anything until then.
And if you're not a subscriber, the currently-revealed games for $12 are Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and Moonlighter. Buying the bundle is cheaper than Hellblade on its own right now.

It's 300 winners/day for first, 200 for second and 100 for third. So I guess it would depend if there's more than a 33% falloff from first to second place.
I don't think so? It always makes these "contests" such a farce.
So you can get a badge, some chat emotes, a coupon for a ton of points, and the chance of a random game if your team wins the race of the day. Anything I'm missing here, none of the games they have listed for points really interest me enough to install much less buy so I probably wont bother.
Gold Edition + Gathering Storm would net you all of the expansions and some DLC at a good price.
You could skip GS and save quite a bit, but tbh I just can't imagine playing Civ6 without it. Improves the whole game a lot.
What is the fastest way to get fuel? I just kill monsters in Stardew Valley, but maybe there's a faster way?
I just got:So I did this
Also, is this normal?
Steam Grand Prix 2019
7,400 XP
Redeemed for lots of tokens. You have reached level 74
didn't even really do anything except press the boost button a few times.

Fastest way is to load up games you have a lot of achievements so you can redeem them. I get like like 20k from my Divinity Original Sin 2 achievements for instance. It looks at your last 5 games played (and you might need to play them for a decent amount of time).
first artifact now whatever this mess of a sale game is, valve should stick to copying other games instead
kidding, maybe
now PLAY IT
and GET THAT FOXGIRL'S PANTIES OFF

People got initial rewards based on their account "value." So people with tons of games started with a lot of boosts to use. I had like 24.
To refuel it tomorrow I'll just cash in my 20k points I have waiting from Divinity Original Sin 2.
so to get boost points you have to play games
your total boost amount possible goes up each day and also depending on how many games you have
you can boost if you have boost points to spend that helps your racer go faster
the spending money either increases boost points, the total amount of points you can have, or both I dunno
