Looking at all the crazy bundle deals and how cheap they are, I was wondering, how the hell can Steam make money doing this? After all, if Skyrim, plus New Vegas and all expansions, plus some other Bethesda games are being offered for a mere $50, less than Skyrim is supposed to cost alone, then this is very lucrative for gamers and terrible for Steam, right?

Then it hit me. I don't actually want any of these games or bundles, because all games that I want to play I already have anyway. And yet here I was seriously contemplating purchasing some of these games, simply because the sales were too amazing to pass up. Someone on Valve's marketing team deserves a medal.
