Nope. I'm a broke collage kid, so I have to spend wisely.

Endless Legend and Civilization Beyond Earth.

Also picked up Sorcerer King during Stardock's Autumn Sale just beforehand, and so far it is my favorite of the bunch!

Got a bloated backlog, and there is not much new in the strategy department atm. I already got Endless Legend, Scorcerer King, AOM III, Warlock II and basically all that matters

I saw that deal, which was a great one.  I picked up on a previous Steam sale for around $20 and have enjoyed it a lot.

I picked up Space Rangers HD.  Went straight to Favourites.

I bought the first two Mass Effect games.

Borderlands 2 after watching a playthrough of Tales of the Borderlands.

Yea, I have to agree.  I grabbed it a while back via HumbleBundle and immediately regretted not buying a cp earlier. It was on my radar as "compelling" but I've purchased so many games that looked compelling that ended up being fairly disappointing, but not Prison Architect - great game thus far.

The sale was pretty fortuitious - my friends were pretty hooked/intrigued by the alpha 27 dev video, so it was nice to be able to pick up a copy for them for only $6 a pop.  My one friend had already put in 2 days of play by the 2nd day he owned it, so easily worth money from the get-go. 

Seems like I've purchased a lot of games (both for myself and friends) that don't really ever get played --- it's nice to buy one that gets some time logged on Steam.

Didn't buy anything. Didn't see anything I was interested in. I already have so many games that I don't play that I purchased and was disappointed in them, then there were the massive bundles where I only wanted one or two games but the price for the bundle was cheaper than buying then separately, so I have way too many trash titles.

Not a damn thing, amazingly enough. First Steamsale I didn't buy anything on.

There was a few things I wanted to buy (Age of Wonders III, Mass Effect trilogy) but there wasn't any cards for x $ spent. I believe that will happen in the christmas sale.

I also got enough to play as is with an enormous backlog. Add to that that I only play games that run perfect on my old rig (Core 2 Duo and GTX 570) so that narrows it down a bit.

Wonder if Xcom: Enemy within runs perfect on it....

helm's deep (lotro)....  then promptly taking a break for the next couple of weeks to give ff14 trial a go.. might get the base game when the trial ends.. not sure.

Do you think the backlog phenomenon will eventually cause Steam to change their business model? E.g. transition to subscription based.

Nada.  Waiting for wasteland 2 to come down in price.  And any home-world type games.  Hoping the homeworld w graphics upgrades is reasonable. 

AOW3 is on sale now over on GOG.

Could you elaborate on this?

I don't know what "backlog phenomenon" means in this context.
