30 minutes seems optimistic

and nothing event related will work for 2 days, just like every other event.....
so you miss the 1st two days of items and card drops

Probably not. They were in the past, but there was no downtime last time.

It's happening aaaaaaaaaah oO

https://steamdb.info/sales/ for one?

Max 50%. You might get better deals for them in other stores.

30%, 50%, 50%, 40%

You can use the site "isthereanydeal" to check the past discounts, Steam usually keeps the same values as past sales unless the devs decide a price cut or a higher discount. For example Hades has been at -50% and probably will get the same cut. More recent games may get a -25% (like Elden Ring and GoW).

Sekiro never goes over 50% off.

at least 3

Hades is such a masterpiece that easily deserves even full price.

Sekiro --- -50% because freeking activision, this may be max discount for forever
Elden Ring --- I would expect at least -30% as last time, if we are lucky and they want to boost player base before DLC then at least -40%, I am veeery skeptical about -50%
God of War --- looking at price history definitely at least -40%, and huge chances for -50%

Elden Ring - https://steamdb.info/app/814380/
God of War - https://steamdb.info/app/1593500/

If you are interested in GoW you can get it for ~15e currently on one of the grey market websites.

You can also check https://gg.deals/ if Steam sale is not in your flavour. Have both officials and keyshops to see the difference.

Remember when Valve gave their games away for free?

This, on the lame argument everybody would refund to get the better deal. If this is true I wonder how GOG manages to have flash deals during sales combined with a much longer refund window.

Good old days, because of actually small time frame some publishers/developers were giving huge discounts that they now newer give for the full duration of the sale

Game bundles are also dyed out as statistics for revenue came, a pale thing of old ones with shovelware for 7 dollars as a common thing. Now its mostly promotions for sequels, base game to push DLC, and indie widening player base

Didn't they switch to 6 hour flash sales? I remember I had an alarm on just to check because the switch was about 1AM until 7AM. I really miss them.

Same here.
A few weeks ago it was at 10% off, i declined hoping it will be at least 20% on Summer Sale

SOLD.

$40 off the base model. I'm happy with that.

Not necessarily. Steam still has some great sales with bigger discounts than anywhere else. Good example for this is Best of Klei games bundle.

There are games which never appear in any bundle.

Has Dark Souls 1 ever been on sale? I'm missing that game and then I might consider playing them.

Thank you! Was wondering the time.
(1pm EDT, 10am PDT for anyone in the US who doesn't want to convert)

I remember that Deck went on sale recently, so I suppose so.

Hard to know as last time was on sale due to a special celebration, but it's a device i really recommend.

Yeah and since the sale is for like 1½ week and the discounts are the same during the whole sale, I see no reason to rush!
Only reason to check daily is for the queue card(s)

I agree, I do miss the fun little activities that sales would have. Think my favorite is either the 2019 grand prix or the 2014 summer adventure where people were in teams and had to craft badges for points.

let me throw a tip for those who wonders what is the answer. just choose a thread/comment where people come here to try to virtue signalling or try to show their moral high ground and, then, oppose them. all the others who shares the same self-righteousness will blacklist you. i also must advise in advance that most users have no idea what is the blacklist purpose, since the majority of them ever made a single giveaway.

It's about time.

When you want to buy Ubi games, you should buy it on Uplay i think, they will never give good discount on games at Steam :(

How much edition with DLC is worth to get for this price?
