The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

it's clunky as fuck

 

Steam sales became the epitome of :meh:

 

Indie Trash MEGASALE, EVERYTHING UP TO -15%!!!

Buy 500$ worth of games and get a GOOD GOY STICKER for your steam profile that nobody but you will ever see, HYPE HYPE HYPE!!

 

Meh is an euphemism tbh. They've become plain shit, outside of maybe really old games that everyone owns for at least a decade and that are better bought on gog.

 

Who needs Steam sales when you have key seller sites...

 

Yep. During the last few sales I just bought most of what I wanted on a key reseller website, because it's cheaper than getting the game on steam sale lol. Just shows that the sales declined hard, if the reseller still has the key that he bought during a better one few years ago

 

enjoy getting the game removed from your library when they do a chargeback on the credit card used to purchase the key

 

Between Isthereanydeal and grey market I almost never buy anything directly from Steam anymore unless it's something I really want and it isn't anyplace else. Besides, I fucking hate paying sales tax on games.

 

Yep, I also though it worked like that, so only got some cheap games for experiment first. But now some of those games had been in my library for years, so I doubt they can still pull it off. And to be honest they don't really need it to do money, I usually see the games appearing on that site right after they were on sale steam with +5-10% margin on top, so they still are profiting as long as they sell most of what they buy

I only buy from one reseller site that I'm pretty sure isn't a scam tho, so can't say about the rest

 

taxalot

 

I use isthereanydeal too.

But only for uncracked games.

 

Tax not a lot.

 

You have to be dumb to buy on steam these days when key reseller sites are around.
Even better you can just buy an account access these days to new games for something like 1-2$. Especially good if you don't like playing online.

 

I've been buying games from key seller sites for half a decade, have upwards of 100 games bough that way. I haven't had a single one of them removed, my dear retard boy.

 

anyone played this?

 

I think it was being discussed in another thread. I remember reading something like "not impressed" or "underwhelming," but I cba to find/remember who was talking about it.

 

They know their audience well:

 

Thank you, Merchants Guild

 

where the sales at

 

The Grimoire saga took a dark turn...

 

Cleveland Mark Blakemore time to sue.
