Counter Strike : Source Is Half Price

All the source games are half price like portal 2, orange box collection, etc. It will probably go cheaper when cs:go beta comes out on the 30th.

cs go beta comes out on nov 30. BUT ONLY 10,000 copies of it.. which means only the best players on the world will get it..

It's only been out 7 years.....

The price gets cut a lot, it was $5 a few months ago. It's now £6.99 (however much that is for you guys with different currencies). It's 50% off so I'd say it's a good time to buy it.
I'm a little rusty on when I actually bought it, but when I did it was $5, $20 is overpriced. =D

Shows you that Valve are greedy people o.o $20 for a 7 y/o game is a bit over priced...

To be fair, it does drop in price literally every month to about $5-$10, and thousands of people already have the game (because it's been out for a very long time). If you're stupid enough to buy it at full price then that's your own fault. And that's the thing, if you're new to Steam and you see CS:S and it's $20 you're gonna be like "well im not paying that much for a 7 year old game", so when the monthly price drop eventually comes around, you're then like "oh well that's a good price, I'll buy it", and loads of people do. So Valve isn't counting on anyone buying it for that price, they're counting on loads of people buying it when it drops in price.

It's a pretty clever tactic, and it's obviously working since yesterday it was one of the top sellers.

Doesn't Steam take in a significant cut of the profits? Why we hating Valve?
