From the steamworks developer group....

"In past sale events, we’ve asked for two discounts—a duration discount that runs for the length of the sale, and a feature discount that runs in the event that a game is featured on the front page. This year, to optimize the sale for customers and to allow us to feature and recommend your products in more ways to more customers, we’re asking for just one discount, to run the length of the sale.

We’ll still be highlighting top games on the front page for 24-48 hour spans, but those products will stay at their most competitive discount, before and after being featured. It’s not a major change, but it does make the sale a lot more valuable for customers, and it allows us to build sale tools that highlight and recommend products all sale long, instead of just during front page features."

I hope its not true D:

The part were they say "it does make the sale a lot more valuable for customers" is a real gem. A gem of pure hypocrisy.

Well, looking at the bright side, my wallet will greatly benefit from this. My purchases will involve a lot of thinking, and zero impulse buying.
