What are you buying?

The thing about sales, are that if they happen every month is no longer a big event.
I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but it really seems like everything is on sale all the time, but the sales aren’t actually sales they’re just the price a thing should be
I remember in the past these event sales being much, much better. I remember the discounts being higher, at least 50%. And 90% and 80% were a lot more common.
I think that’s the actual crux of the matter. These weekly sales throughout the year always existed, it’s the events that don’t feature as big discounts as they used to
I think sales have lost their luster when they’re almost the same prices we’ve seen all year around. The golden age of sales was from 2010 - 2018 I would say and it was THE time to wheel and deal on getting games you sought for the most for crazy prices.
Nowadays, things remain stagnant. You’ll find games released 5 years ago get an eh -15% off. You’ll find games even 10 years ago get an eh -30% off. Most of the games you see go 65 - 90% off are either games you already had gotten long ago with better prices or games you couldn’t give a shit about.
I understand that it’d be dumb to expect one or even two year games to be more than -50% at least. But the older the game gets, come on, you can do better.
This is the deepest discount I’ve ever seen on Rimworld. Still not at the right price point for me but it’s darn close.
You might want to put your wishlist in isthereanydeal.com - rimworld’s not at its lowest currently https://isthereanydeal.com/game/rimworld/info/
Isthereanydeal.com is such a good resource for knowing if a deal is actually a rare opportunity or it’s a game that comes up for deep sale constantly.
Rimworld almost never goes below $26 in sales if I recall. And it pisses me off too because it’s an 8 year old game, but the devs remain so stingy on giving a good deal. It’s like they act like they’ve made their own sacred Super Mario Bros game that can never have a good sale, like Nintendo practices.
Ugh, I have too much to play in my backlog already. I’ll probably pick up one game that I want to play eventually, maybe Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.
I’ve been playing Outer Worlds, though, so I’m saving up for the 2nd one just in case it’s good. Given Avowed’s release, my hopes aren’t high. However, the first game is so intensely 6/10 that if they can just improve a tad bit on the formula, I think I would like it a lot.
Just don’t mix up Outer Worlds with Outer Wilds lol.
Or maybe do, since they’re both good games.
Does Factorio ever go on sale? I think I’ve had it wishlisted for over a year now.
Not sure if trolling but no, factorior will never go on sale, and will only ever increase in price.
If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.
No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.
Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.
Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.
As someone with 902 hours on steam and about that much on the standalone client, I highly recommend you dont. It will consume the next month of your life. If you do buy it. Learn about blueprints and how to import them. Dont have to use others but one of the better teaching tools in the game for belt mechanics. If you like trains, use the mods, the train logistics mods make them so much better, but do take some study to make work.
Honestly the sheer number of games that I have is just unsustainable relative to how much work I have 🤣 I simply don’t have time for it all. Not to mention as I get older all I want to do is play World of Warcraft or the games I used to play in high school.
Skate and Apex Legends have been really fun for me though recently, but there’s no games I want to really buy so they can just sit in my library like we all do.
Just purchased Stationeers and that’s likely it for me. I’ve been meaning to pick it up forever and it rarely goes on sale, so it felt like a safe choice!
Ahh that game is so great but I hate it and can never get far in it. It both scratches a itch that almost no other game can yet is so exhausting to play I can never keep at it for more than a couple hours.
Only buying Ghost of Tsushima and just gifting Cyberpunk 2077 to a friend. It feels like every sale it’s the same deals, at least to me.
Nothing, too busy playing Hades II. Death to Chronos!
Moonlight guide us!
Dude yes, amazing game that never gets old, from a fan of the OG game as well
Everyone in this thread: happy with what they have and got bills to pay
Me: ok cool I can actually stay under 400€ nvm the fact my backlog bigger than Beverly Hillswhat are ya buyin??
Fixed that for you
It seems, like… nothing ?
What are you buying? Groceries, maybe I can swing something during the winter sale.
I have a huge backlog, both in steam and physical, so no, thanks….
I thought this said “Autism Sale” and got excited.

All. The. Trains.
OpenTTD is always on sale ;)
It can be two things.
Same here.
Glad im not the only one
Probably these: Doom Eternal (3.99€), Dust to End (2.99€), Night of the Dead (8.69€), Days Gone - Broken Road DLC (5€) and Sniper Elite 5 (5€)
Never played the first Hades. Never played Cult of the Lamb. They’re both on sale now, and they seem like pretty good Steam Deck games.
Hades plays very nice on steam deck
Two of my favorites games on the deck
Skip Hades and miss nothing.
It’s a wildly-overrated game. Tedious, derivative and grindy.
Ignore that post. Some opinions aren’t worth voicing, this is one of them.
I’m well aware what Hades is. I guess that guy doesn’t understand the Rogue-like model…
