"The Steam Store is experiencing some heavy load right now. Please try again later."

Oh, Gaben-senpai. You did it again.

Where is your Primordia shilling when I need it! Actually, though, neither Epiphany nor Primordia is that great a deal. Both were just sold for less on GOG (-80%) without DRM. I believe both have also been sold for less on Steam, but I'm not sure.

It's interesting to see WEG doing its first tiered sales rates though -- Shardlight is barely on sale, TB is only 60% off, the rest of the catalogue is 70%. I don't think it's been that way before.

Epiphany has not been sold for less on Steam.

I didn't mention Primordia because I built that post by looking at my wishlist, and of course I've had the game for ages.

It is said every sale, but it truly is worse every time.

It's all about wishlists now. Don't look for the AWESOME sale that stands out. Build a wishlist with hundreds of games, then just go over it every sale and check off the games that are cheap enough. Sale over.

I've been waiting for some of those oldies to get a 75% for a while now, so I'm rather pleased.

Steam is sweating like an old man right now. Can't even buy anything.

What have you got so far? I sadly let my wishlist fall out of order, so I am having a hard time tracking anything.

Besides what I mentioned last page?

So does steam keep adding sales until the whole thing ends, or is this it? Never been in on one of dese sale things.

I am hoping to see Doom at 60 % or more.

 

[Siveon]

IIRC, they don't add any sales or do "flash sales" anymore. It's all just a flat discount.

This is it. Refunds made special sales worthless. Besides, at the last day(s) most deals would go back again so why bother to buy everything right now when you can just wait a couple of days?

 

[Infinitron]

The nice thing about the old style of sales is that the constant price changes meant that occasionally there was a bug and a game would get double-discounted. Dishonored 92% off in 2013, nevar forget.

Honestly, I've never seen any STEAM or GOG sale that could top the price cdkey sites (legit mind you) are selling them for.

Cdkeys.com have been selling doom for like 38 dollars for like 4 months now, and they are totally legit and its a steam key, lol.

What is the incitament to buy directly on steam/gog at a shit high price, when u can get it half price or more at cdkey sites?

 

[Angthoron]

D44M and GTA5 have demos now? What the hell.

I guess that's how they can inflate the number of owners/players?

[mastroego]

Ok so for now I'll take:

-Thea: The Awakening (-40%)
-Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny (-80%)

I'll probably never play the latter but it's 3€ (!).
Also I'm circling around Rise of the Tomb Rider.
I would take it for -35%, but with the DLCs is still very pricey and I can't even figure out WHAT THE HELL THEY DO.
I'll get it one way or the other anyway.
