Valve Unleashes the Potato Sack Reunion
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Well, I own a lot of the games in The Potato Sack so I never bought it, and probably won't do so this time either. That said, I do hope it's something interesting.
It also would have been nice if the new Potato Sack included differant games, I'm just saying.

Yeah, I don't know if Valve realized, but most people get their paychecks on Friday, so releasing this on Wed. and Thu. is a bit of bad timing.Excludos said:
When you buy this you get any games you already own as gifts but can anyone tell me for sure whether you get to gift the games individually or whether you have to gift the spare games all together because as usual Steam is giving the least amount of information possible on this.
While Half-Life fans keep tossing coins in to the 'I wish HL3 gets announced fountain', I am going to look at the bandwagon treads of the Humble Indie Bundle wagon, to see if it gained any more weight.
That's not quite... the whole story (yay LRR joke!). While accurate, you forgot to mention that there was a whole ARG behind it which not only lead to Portal 2 being released early for PCs (though not by much if I remember correctly) but also brought on a lot of people working together to find all the tiny clues to find the things you had to do. It wasn't just beating secret levels. The community had to find and complete these things, and do specific tasks to get 'DLC' (which wasn't actually DLC, but more of a non-achievement token to show you did it), and so on.gigastar said:
The reward for getting all of the things done was the golden potato, which I'm one of the holders of (had to do everything in about 1 day... it was pretty nuts). The people who completed it didn't get Portal 2 for free per say. They actually got the Valve Complete Pack, which included Portal 2 along with every other game Valve made to that point. While accurate, it's important to point out that it was much more then one game. And anyone who already owned copies of Valve games got giftable copies of those they owned.
All and all in was a surprisingly deep event that a lot of people put a lot of work into. If it's going to happen again, good. I'd like to see it, even if it does force me to work for hours straight to try getting it finished once more.
My Gods, it must be true!Sixcess said:
I remember getting so paranoid about the ARG before that I started finding links with the number of spelling mistakes in an Aperture Science manual to Half Life 2 Episode 3. I do not want that phase again, it only ends in disappointment...
