This kind of deal shows me that no one should ever buy something on steam when it's not a special deal.
66% off sounds impressive. but seeing that the normal price is 49,99€ is ridiculous.
On amazon.de i can buy the retail copy for 25,88€ here in Germany.
Sure, the 66% off deal results in 17€ which is an insanely good deal, but how is the normal price of 50€ so late after the release justified?
I really like the steam service and I'm always looking forward to the "deal marathons" in the holiday season and midsummer, but I would never even consider buying a just released title on steam! I don't think any digital copy on steam has ever been less than the retail on amazon on the release day!
