And yeah I've also felt Steam Sales have been a little lacking recently, even the big holiday ones since they removed the time-limited deals. I understand why they wouldn't want games that are already discounted to temporarily be even more heavily discounted during there big sales, but now it feels like instead of the games selling at -50% and then jumping up to -75% for 6-24 hours they just say at -50% all the time, so the sales are actually worse value. Stops people buying a game, then getting mad when next day it's at an even bigger discount I suppose, but I'd still like it back. |
Yeah, dailies and flash sales actually got me spending more cash each day. Now all we have are fixed price rates from start to finish, which in turn makes the whole event quite predictable and boring. I actually turn to the likes of GMG when Steam sales show up, mostly because I'll find a better deal there and grab my keys. Valve doesn't seem to care since they make tons of cash selling hats for TF2 and knife/glove skins for CSGO, skins/voicepacks for Dota 2.
Platinum/Sega recently put up an amazing deal for Vanquish PC, by slapping on a discount for those that own Bayonetta on Steam, meaning it goes from £15 to £11.24 and it's the deluxe edition. If Arkane/Bethesda hadn't been so hush hush with the PC version of Prey and offered a decent promotional discount, I'd have leapt on that too, but instead I'm giving my money to Sega/Platinum (3 times if I count buying two mates a copy each).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
