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.
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

What about the time they tried to implement paid mods with Bethesda?
They’ve tried, they’ve listened, they’ve not gone forward with the implementation, apologized and refunded and everyone else moved on.

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 …
…and which you don’t actually own.

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.

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
just because the things you want aren’t on sale… doesn’t mean the sale doesn’t exist

Steam :: Steam Workshop :: Removing Payment Feature From Skyrim Workshop
We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree. We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. It's obvious now that this case is different.
(steamcommunity.com)
Except they didn’t apologize and according to them adding paid mods was not a mistake, their mistake was starting with skyrim. I think it’s funny how enamoured people are with steam to the point of misremembering what really happened.
Edit: love the downvotes, just proves how brainwashed steam fans are, just like nintendo fans.

Let me know when Steam starts accepting the cartoon moths that fly out of my empty wallet.
You got some of them moths??

Meaningful to whom?
I’ve gotten at least 50% off compared to the day I wishlist something on every game that I’ve waited on a sale for. I know this because I only buy wishlist stuff when it is at least 50% off
