Steam Summer Sale Question

75% is alot off

Wait a minute, when is this Steam Sale on? Because I'm in the UK and there is no sale for any Bethesda games right now! :/

:)

One suggestion as a first timer: unless you're desperate to start a game immediately, don't buy it right at the start of the sale. Something that's 50% off throughout the sale may well get a 66% or 75% daily deal at some point along the way. General rule of thumb is not to buy anything that's not a daily deal (or flash deal) until the last day.

Yay, the classic comment...

Baines isn't "greedy" or "entitled" in the slightest. The winter sale was disappointing because it hasn't lived up to expectations of previous sales. Instead of having new, fresh deals daily, it basically had a bunch of games that they just discounted over and over again. Where's the fun in that?

I don't think that was the point Baines was trying to get across. The last X-mas Sale was lack luster compared to the former larger holiday sales (especially Christmas sales), due to, like he said, many "limited time" deals were repeated. This might be due to a lack of games which Valve got the green-light to set large discounts, or it might just be because they were trying out a new concept.

Don't be too quick to call people out, when actually they are being right about something. If anything, it makes you stand out as a bit of a douche (not saying that you are, but you are not really showing your best side).

Most people wanted Season Sales because of Achievements and meta-game along many nice price drops. After Winter Multiple-Account Fiasco from 2011 Steam Sales become just big sales. And other shops also started doing big sales, so Steam Sales lost their "magic".
People remember how fun earlier Sales were. And now there's nothing that makes them different than others.

I'm sure there are tons of people who wouldn't really mind lack of Sale as long as Steam would bring back treasure-hunt back.

I'm not complaining at all. I'm just saying that Steam's future sales might be more restrained that people have grown to expect.

For the Christmas sale, there were people who believed Valve would keep trying to outdo the other online stores, and outdo its own Thanksgiving sale. Valve didn't, really. That in itself isn't a bad thing. (One could argue that Valve had already pushed online discounts further than they should have.)

Although it was a bit annoying how they overplayed the various limited time deals, with the same games popping up over and over. Stuff like the voter's choice didn't matter, not when the games, chosen and unchosen alike, would also show up again as both flash and daily deals. And it did dampen people's enthusiasm to see the same games show up in each "special sale" category.

Flash sales and daily sales are a-ok. If the game you want gets a random 30-50% discount and is not shown in the main sales lists, chances are it may get a better deal later on.

Good because my wallet has been itching like crazy lol.

I believe in next Thursday - 4th July sounds like a great day to start big sales, doesn't it? And that would be consistent with usual Thursday start.

Nooooooo...

Please wait just one more week, my next payday is so far away goddammit. I hate how the GOG and Steam summer sale are so close to each other. Then there's GetLoaded.

Yeah i'd buy a million Fortix's
