Steam being a US-based company kinda put a damper on my willingness to shell out the moolah for games I might not even play …
GOG is my go to. Still have a huge steam library from before but my future purchases are going there.

Steam sale IS NOT A REAL SALE.
Consumers have associated the experience as a sale, but the last few steam sales I have only found very very niche stuff actually on sale, everything else isn’t really on sale it just has meaningless percents next to them.
Edit wow so I am really not in the majority here with my opinion haha, ok, maybe I am seeing this wrong? Honestly, the last couple steam sales I have compared the sales going on to previous sales <1 month previous or less away and the sales just didn’t look that good from that perspective.
I am not saying games aren’t going on sale in the Steam sale, I am arguing the sales are mediocre compared to random sales throughout the year, but again… I probably just have a warped vision of this because clearly people think otherwise.

As in, there aren’t discounts? I only ever look st my wishlist during steam sales and I see plenty of discounts and I dont see the msrp having been raised or anything

What about the time they tried to implement paid mods with Bethesda?
That’s not great, but it’s not ‘company thriving under a very literally fascist regime’-bad.

Meh I don’t typically see pricecuts that are that meaningful, on isthereanydeal the steam sales often just don’t impress me in how they compare.
I don’t mean to rain on the parade, the deals aren’t bad and I love steam so shrugs

Use SteamDB to check price histories. Steam Sales often present the lowest historical price on any game.

There is too much on the backlog for this bullshit

They’ve tried, they’ve listened, they’ve not gone forward with the implementation, apologized and refunded and everyone else moved on.

What is that third representation of money? Paper bills, credit card and [???]. Is it a ring?

That’s a wallet containing 50€ notes

Thanks, now I feel silly for not recognizing it.

Thank you, don’t know how I didn’t recognize it.

TBH for me, between the sales and the Linux compatibility it’s still worth it even if I’m effectively renting the games.
