I'm tidying up the last room that needs tidied before Christmas and checking the steam auction every 45 minutes to bid gems for games. My 14000 gems wasn't enough to get anything in the first 19 rounds, but as the available gems dwindle, there's some bargains to be had.
I love indie games and I'm managing to get a few at reductions far bigger than during the actual sales. I also 'crushed' my inventory items to create the gems, so it's like I'm getting them for nothing. I won the game 'Claire' that I've had on my wish list for a while for the equivalent of less than £2, Richard & Alice for the equivalent of £1 and The Lost Crown for 70p.
So much for this being a dud event...
