The best thing about Steam is that around Christmas and at some point in the summer they have amazing big sales with lots of really good games with insane discounts. I thought that I'd create a thread for people to suggest such deals to others and to talk about the various random stuff that you get in these sort of things. Although this thread is named after Steam feel free to recommend similar deals from other digital download sites like gog.com; since they are equally applyable. Please only stuff that actually sells legitimate games though: you do get places that flog "digital versions" of games for nothing all of the time which turn out to be the latest torrent...
One thing that I would genuinely recommend you keep an eye on is the Humble Bundle site. Every so often they put big bundles of games on sale on a "pay what you want" basis: the money is split in proportions that you suggest between the game developers, nominated charities and the people behind the site to keep it up. Don't expect the latest AAA titles on there: but you can find insane bargains even factoring in other stuff that is available: I ended up getting DIRT 3 and a whole bunch of other driving games for around $10 while the thing sells for more than double that by itself. They also have a digital store where you can buy single games and sometimes they have insane bargains there as well (I got Crusader Kings 2 and a bunch of expansions for around 75% off). Everything in it is 100% legitimate since the vast majority of games sold give you a Steam code that you register within Steam and then it is just like you bought the game from within Steam.
One current recommendation is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance which is currently available 75% off for £3.99 on the UK Steam store: which is nothing for one of the genuinely funnest games that you can play. Its silly at times, but its a Metal Gear game with the main character being a sword-wielding Cyborg: what do you expect!!
Crusader Kings II is also a genuinely good game that always goes on a daily deal at some point. Its currently 50% off for the game and a bunch of the expansions until the sale ends on January 2nd: but usually it ends up as a daily deal and that makes it even cheaper than that!
