https://www.pcgamer.com/if-youre-having-trouble-with-wolcen-grim-dawn-is-very-cheap-right-now/
ARPG Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem's recent launch has been a bit of a disaster, with players experiencing game-breaking bugs, numerous glitches, server issues, an exploitable economy, and an overall lack of polish. If Wolcen has irritated your itch rather than scratched it, fellow ARPG Grim Dawn is currently 75 percent off on Steam and isn't held together by chewing gum and sellotape.
Grim Dawn is best known for being the spiritual successor to Diablo 2, but you'll feel right at home if you've played any modern ARPGs, too. Both of the dark fantasy's expansions, Forgotten Gods and Ashes on Monmouth, are also discounted for 20 percent and 30 percent respectively.

The Humble Store has a new Rockstar Week sale, with up to 70% discounts on several games for Steam and/or the Rockstar Social Club: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/rockstar-week/

CD Projekt RED has announced that the sales for Steam version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have exceeded $50 million. That’s for the period between October 1st, 2018, and today. Do note that The Witcher 3 came out in 2015 on the PC.
In short, and after three years, the game was able to bring an additional of $50 million. That’s a lot of money and shows the strong legs of this particular title.

As a result, CD Projekt RED is now getting 80% on any subsequent sales of The Witcher 3 on Steam.
