What are you buying?
The thing about sales, are that if they happen every month is no longer a big event.
I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but it really seems like everything is on sale all the time, but the sales aren’t actually sales they’re just the price a thing should be
I’m finding this sale underwhelming, and my backlog is already huge. Might skip it this time.
Edit - okay, found some good stuff. A lot of the tables for Pinball FX were on deep sales, and with the Legacy packs I got them even cheaper (some I owned for PFX3 already, and some I bought legacy for both).
New Heretic+Hexen remaster
Some DLC for Across the Obelisk as my wife and I play that one together.
Still an underwhelming sale, but at least not a total bust.
They’ve been pretty underwhelming for a while now.
You used to get crazy deals on games only a few months old. Now it’s just the same 50% off a five year old game before being ramped back up to full price between sales.
There’s a few bargains of stuff you may have missed, but likely they’ve been an Epic freebie, or on PSPlus or in a Humble Bundle by now.
Part of the sale issue for me, is that I sometimes already own these deep discount games. It makes it feel like there are less good deals.
Also some new games have what I consider to be really high base prices, so a 60% discount is still not near the impulse buy range.
Like, I’m sure Spider-Man is good but it’s still $60 and ‘only’ on a 50% sale? You can get it for $15 at GameStop.
I thought this said “Autism Sale” and got excited.

Groceries, maybe I can swing something during the winter sale.
Does Factorio ever go on sale? I think I’ve had it wishlisted for over a year now.
Not sure if trolling but no, factorior will never go on sale, and will only ever increase in price.
No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.
Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.
Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.
Factorio never goes on sale, but Shapez and shapez 2 are on sale and they are in the same genre but more beginner friendly.
Shapez 2 was great. I got into last night. Lovely and relaxing. No stress, no resource management, no time limits, no enemies. Just cozy thinking about production and how to optimize. Right up my alley.
It seems, like… nothing ?
