id announces huge Steam discounts
id/Beth games bundle for as little as $40.
id Software has announced a bunch of giveaways and deals running throughout QuakeCon.
This includes a frankly bonkers pack that offers you every id and Bethesda game on Steam - including recent stuff like Fallout: New Vegas and Hunted: The Demon's Forge - for just $69.99. Individually we're told that would cost $494.66 to assemble.
If you pre-order Rage or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you can knock it down to $49.99, and if you pre-order both of those on Steam you can knock the QuakeCon Pack down to just $39.99.
The prices announced were all US offerings.
Other deals active during QuakeCon on Steam are active for 24 hours apiece. Today (Thursday 4th August) you can get the Doom and Quake Pack for $29.99 - every Doom and Quake game, including Quake 4. Pre-ordering Rage today knocks the price down to $19.99 for the D&Q Pack.
Tomorrow, Friday 5th August, you can get the Elder Scrolls Pack (Morrowind and Oblivion Game of the Year Editions) for $19.99, or $9.99 if you pre-order Skyrim.
Saturday 6th August marks the start of a Brink free-play weekend, where you can also buy the game with 50 per cent off for $24.99. Then on Sunday 7th August, there's a Fallout sale - Fallout 3: Game of the Year will be $9.99, New Vegas will be $19.99, and there will be DLC discounts too.
Finally, id said that if Rage received 100,000 Likes on Facebook, it would give away the Rage iOS titles for free for a week.
Phew! Finally, it's also a free premium content weekend for browser-based shooter Quake Live.
