They are a merchant. You go to them to buy things. Not earn badges or have them hand pick deals and sales for exactly the games you want at the price you'd pay. When did everyone become to damn privileged. Do you walk into a supermarket and complain that your favorite food isn't on sale this week?

They don't owe you squat.

Seriously.

EDIT : Many people are missing the point. I'm trying to say, that you are an idiot if you complain that the sales that Valve has on games are "bad games or etc" They are putting on sale whatever they want. You shouldn't complain because it's up to them, not you. They don't owe you anything, they can put on sale any games they want. Daily, flash, vote etc.

EDIT 2 : Seeing as how lots of you completely missed the point, I'm going to close this.

Hey I just wanted to say a big fuck you to Safeway; they put oranges on sale when everyone knows tangerines are far superior and never go on sale, who the fuck do they think they are?

Seriously though man I'm with you, sales are sales and we should be happy with what we get because we could be getting nothing at all. As much as I won't say I don't miss the achievement stuff they did in the last few sales (badges are kind of shitty trade-off) the fact they go to the trouble of doing massive sales and events like this at all is pretty damn awesome.

It is called marketing you twit.

Grocery stores dont have to have those free sample giveaways, or take coupons, or do sales. Electronics stores dont need to have models sitting out for you to view, or salespeople to answer questions, or offer special services like delivery and setup.

I could go on, but hopefully by now you realize the idiocy of your post. Companies do different, interesting, beneficial things for their customers in order to drive sales.

Seriously.

You completely missed my point. I'm saying that people getting upset that "the games that are on sale are shit" is dumb. They put on sale what they want, not what you want.

It's the expectation.

After how grandiose previous sales have been, this one's been fairly lackluster. People expect what happened in previous sales to happen with this one. It hasn't thus far. When somebody doesn't live up to their standards or reputation, they get told. Blizzard's heard all about how bad D3 is compared to D2, I'm sure. It's reasonable to be mildly upset.

Only mildly, though. People that are ranting and raving in any way about the sale need to take a serious look at their life.

The sale has been pretty good for train enthusiasts, though.

This.

However, there's a reason all of this happened: the coal fiasco. People are greedy and got what they deserve.

just because something is up to someone doesn't mean people cannot complain about the results whatsoever. if we were to go with your logic then we'd live in totalitarianism in most countries, because it's up to politicians to manage the country and the safety and well being of their people (oh what an irony) however they don't do shit actually, and they didn't in the past. had people not complaint we would be fucked over all along the watchtower dear self righteous sire.
