Now to wait 4 more hours after that until steam is actually usable.
Like, what the fuck do ya'll even hope to get from the sale anyway? Do you really NOT already have literally everything you would ever want to play AND a gigantic backlog of games you'll never touch to boot?

I got some 40 titles on my wishlist. I'm going to gobble up the discounted indie titles. Anything that retails for 40 will wait for Xmas sale.

Dusk AND AE, in full, all at once... I envy you. Bought both day zero in early access. The wait was painful, not gonna lie, but it was so worth it in the end.
I haven't even launched a few games purchased based on codexers' suggestions back in summer sale 2017

I'm hoping that at least one title on my wishlist (currently 21 items, of which 8 are "Coming Soon") goes on sale with a good discount.
We'll just see what happens.

Told you nibbas. Every steam stale is the same valve can't cope with the hordes ramming the gates looking for deals. Wait a couple of hours and shit will calm down.
Valve, just like any other company launching an online game or service, obviously could cope. Just rent a crapton of additional capacity and you're good to go. But why waste money to solve a problem that usually lasts only an hour or two? Dumbass customers can wait.

God forbid this multi-million dollar company rent a few additional servers beforehand.
Got in. As expected, I don't see anything that wasn't discounted before or that'd interest me. The most conspicuous sale is 34% on DMC5 I suppose but spectacle akshun isn't my thing so meh.

I don't think it's that simple, the amount of traffic Steam gets when a major sale starts is probably absurdly massive.

I joined team pig because pigs are the obvious superior choice. Trying to figure out the best way to squeeze goodies out of the metagame bullshit. There's a "Buy a bigger discount" thing on offer, but to reach that you need 15,000 good boy points. I apparently can get something like 26,000GBP just from my Slay the Spire achievements (Why? Lord knows), but I'd only actually get a couple thousand because my "Boost meter" is limited, and it says I can expand it. Okay. So I see how to expand it is by spending money during the sale. So I'd have to spend some money to open up the "Boost meter" to get my good boy points to get an extra discount on my tendies, and they don't even specify how much of an extra discount it is and if it's on a full order. If it is it might be worth some bullshit to unlock then place a final order to clean up and squeeze everything from that.
Edit: Oh, so apparently the "Boost meter" starts at 100 by default, but it's increased up to a maximum of 1k based on your account size/purchases/etc. So I'm already maxed out, so my StS GBP excess will apparently be wasted and only GBP generated by purchases carries between days. Well fuck. 1,000GBP a day possible earnings, 15,000GBP to buy the discount, 14-15 days the sale's running. Huh, I must be missing something.
