Steam Week in Review: Steam just got its first 'dopamine site', so you can fatten a fake backlog without spending a cent

Gabe Newell delivering discounts.

Watch Dogs 2 is currently $2.50 on Steam. It's hardly a classic, but it's not terrible either. At one cent per 10 minutes of content, how can you resist? It's only five pleasantly tactile mouse clicks away.

Maybe you can't resist. During Steam's seasonal sales it's possible to scoop up dozens of games for less than $5 a pop. Ted Litchfield found 31, many of which could individually keep you occupied for weeks. The temptation to splurge is probably irresistible, especially if you've been bitten by some of Steam's incentives to hoard: maybe you love to customise your profile using Steam points, for example. Or maybe you love trading cards. Or maybe you just find pleasure in watching your library grow.
