I've had a few people ask me how I have so many games in my Steam library, so I figured I'd make a bit of a guide on how to get games on the cheap. (NOTE): *I'm sure a lot of people already know about this but this guide is targeting more towards newer steam users or just people who didn't know they could buy cheap games else ware. Ok so lets start:

Bundle games: These are the best deals you can get on games because most often in bundles you can "pay what you want" to receive your Steam keys. It is also helpful to fill your Steam library or get them for trading cards.
Reputable bundle sites:

Now on to single game keys:
My number one rule is I will never purchase a game for full price when I know I can get it for a lot less. Most games you see on steam that aren't on sale are pretty expensive. So what do you do? You use reputable key resale sites which most if not all sell the game cheaper than steam. This rule generally applies to DLC too.
Reputable key sites:

This site will allow you to compare game prices so you can find the cheapest one:

Notes to add:

-I have not listed all the reputable sites yet but I plan on updating this thread.
-Be careful when buying keys, especially if the site looks shady. Recently their was around 7,000 keys stolen from Rebellion and sold to other sites at a cheap price. This resulted in these people having the game and key completely revoked from their steam account. So all I'm saying is be careful.

I recommend adding [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] as they are currently one of the best websites that I have used to purchase codes, they do have an autokey feature which will automatically send you your key through that system which usually takes around 5 minutes, seems to be a much quicker method than waiting for a human to send your key out by email or whatever.

Thanks for this. I've had trouble finding a site that will accept my dogecoins. ;)
