Thus far, I've avoided the sale.

9.99 - Darksiders II - Have on Xbox, never opened, loved the first
4.99 - Fez

4.99 - Doom 3: BFG Edition
11.99 - Mass Effect Collection (ME & ME2) - Xbox rebuys
3.39 - Star Wars: KOTOR - Xbox rebuy
3.39 - Star Wars: KOTOR2 - Xbox rebuy

108.35 - FUUUUUCK! Why did I add this up! Ironically, the tax rate here is 8.35% so it's like I spent exactly $100 at B&M here.

I still might get a bit more tomorrow, but we'll see how I feel when I wake up and look at that number again.

My tiny haul:
Just Cause $0.27
System Shock 2 $2.49

Also bought Ticket to Ride, Ticket to Ride USA 1910 DLC, Party of Sin, and Drip Drip (not steam) for $1.69 at Amazon.

I have about $9 in my steam wallet from selling cards during the sale as well, so I guess I did alright.

I haven't bought anything either. Between the freebies from the PS3, and CAG, I decided that I'm not paying more than $15 for $60 game, and no more than $5 for a $20 game. Oh wait, I guess that means I should have bought the ME collection! (Just checked and it's $20 now)

The Steam carriage is turning back into a pumpkin in about 30 minutes if anyone is thinking of any last minute purchases.

Re: Steam Summer Getaway Sale 2013 (Jul. 11th-22nd)

I walked away with nothing this sale for three reasons:
  1. I've already purchased these games in past summer and winter sales. Steam really needs to add new games into these sales.
  2. I've purchased these games on other platforms. I also purchased some of these games cheaper on said platforms (like Doom 3: BFG and Far Cry 3).
  3. I didn't really care about the games that were being offered.
I'm just sad I missed the boat on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 as I would've bought that.

There was a point in time where I owned multiple games across multiple platforms, but I stopped due to frustration, especially with that of multiplayer.

... and you should've bought the entire GTA franchise as it was only $5 more.

slightly OT but the Daily Deal is

Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams

80 % off for $2.99 it's a fun platformer and they just updated the game with some remixed levels.

Re: Steam Summer Getaway Sale 2013 (Jul. 11th-22nd)

I just picked up Giana Sisters (thanks to mhg) but other than that I only bought Alan Wake for $4. I was tempted to get Tomb Raider for $12, but I have a lot of stuff unplayed in my library. I probably wouldn't get around to playing it before the winter sale anyway.

Re: Steam Summer Getaway Sale 2013 (Jul. 11th-22nd)

My final haul for the sale :
Toki Tori 2
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 (+ DLC + Prima eGuide)
Bully Scholarship Edition
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
Worms Revolution (+ Season Pass DLC)
Chivalry : Medieval Warfare

And I suppose you can add Terraria, which was gifted to me -- Thanks Rich!

So not a huge haul this year, but of course that's largely because I already own so many of the featured games on PC, 360 or PS3 already and certainly overpaid for them.

I somehow managed not to buy anything this sale. Maybe next summer.
