Encased 84% off

The game where they spent more resources on tranny support for character creation than any quest design after the first 30 minutes?

Can recommend CrossCode. Pretty decent 2D top down action game.

What do you mean? So many things are releasing now or coming out of early access now precisely because of the Summer sale. They want to get things out before the sale starts for maximum exposure.

During takeover sales visibility plummets. No to mention, why buy one full price game when you can maybe pickup 3-4 games you want to play for the same price.

 

[Jenkem]

a lot more people, particularly casual steam users, visit steam during the sales events. newly released stuff will appear in discovery queues, which are incentivized for users to complete. anything that a user had on their wishlist and has been updated or recently released will most likely be highlighted for them as well as they scroll down the main page. a lot of people wishlist early access games but would rather wait until they release, if it does so just before they are in the mood to spend money they might get more sales, etc.

During full takeover summer/winters sales the whole new releases/upcoming/top sellers tabs are removed from the front page and I don't think many steam users utilize the new and noteworthy drop down menus to reach them during that time.

This french jrpg inspired thing left early access, I haven't really heard too much about it because it originally launched as french only and didn't get an english translation until fairly recently.


Could someone link that site that has a nice easily readable column with deepest discounts colored in blue/matched deepest in green?

Is this what you're after?

 

[Modron]

There was a just one that was easier to parse quickly someone linked a few months back that does of course work

Yeah no wonder I didn't bookmark it, since I already had the main page bookmarked.

[KörangarTheMighty]

Bought TZAR on Steam because it was dirt cheap and I filled out the D&D Collection with the various games that released earlier this year. Spent about $30 bucks total.

It shows differences in regional prices, all time low prices, what type of DRM is used, etc.

WTF is this new shit with these coupons, you can't see the percentage of the discount unless you actually go to that games page and it shows you the original price and the current one

Fuck this gay shit and the faggot who created it

Maybe it is a regional thing? I do not have the coupon icon. Mine just shows the sales price like normal.

Koei putting everything on sale except Nobunaga's Ambition
