TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT

It's the 22nd you fat fucking slob.

I doubt

most of them started on 18th

Nope, even PayPal confirmed it on the 22nd you stupid fool.

Stop being an uneducated hype memer

Probably not but wouldn't be surprised if they started it early

No dailies or flash deals so less sales in general.

Zero, zero memes!
Ah ah ah!

How is this bad?

Also steam sales never start in the weekend, pretty much always on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Because they've slowly but surely taken all of what little fun and excitement the Steam sales had. They're no longer Steam Sales, they're just sales.

Faggots complain "wah it was fun to buy games in that time span, I treated it like a GAME." Buyer psychology, if it is a limited flash sale then it is going to feel more special than a regular sale, I don't get it either anon.
>>
>>320607261
It doesn't work that way at all.
Companies are less likely to put up bigger sales because they last longer now and losing more money in the long run.

>>320607393
So you're a sheep that's sad your consumerism game is gone. Jesus Christ. Listen to yourself

Pretty sure I've seen this thread yesterday.

>>320607468
It's just less sales and less off now.
What's hard to get about that?

hotline fucking miami 2 better go on sale i'm not paying full price god damn

hotline miami pissed me off but i can't stop playing it and i need more more more

just drill my fucking face for 1.6k points senpai
>>
>>320607149
Will this bite them in the butt when people complain that there was no good sales?
>>
>>320607730
Hotline 2 is full of garbage level design. Don't buy it , pirate it at most
>>
>>320607730
Just pirate HM2, it's not like the Level Editor is worth it.
>>
>>320607586
I started getting games off of steam regularly last march, and I noticed no differences in how many good sales there are.
>>
>>320607421
>Discounts getting worse

It's not up to Valve how much a product is discounted. People just expect everything to be 75% off now
>>
>>320607748
Everyone says that anyway.
It won't make any difference.

There's not gunna be xmas sales this year they will do new year's sales because that's religious sensitive thing to do

the new year's sales will start on the 30th

>>320607932
It's never been called a Christmas sale m8
>>
>>320607852
Reminder that even though they're not in complete control they do suggest prices like they did with Ark.
>>
>>320607784
You probably don't look very hard or even notice when games got marked up when they were put on "sale"
>>
>>320608102
You know that's illegal and you should be doing something about it?

>>320606963

it will be the 22nd somewhere in the world tonight

you can't contain this hype

Reddit I can understand, it's filled with shills there, but how can /v/ be excited for a fucking sale

Either buy the game full price or pirate it. Don't be a faggot and try to justify buying games at 33% their initial price
>>
>>320608202
>being this of a newfag

>>320608202
Your logic makes no sense
>>
>>320608202
Impeccable logic there Anon, I'm sure you're great with money.
>>
>>320608313
How exactly?
You either support the dev or you don't

People who buy games at $5 are moralfags, and probably underage so no money.

That is not how time works.

You're a fucking retard

Except they don't start it until it's 22nd 10am Pacific time.

Literally never happens. How obscure do you have to go for this to be actually a thing?
>>Man, I want to play the multiplayer too but can't with piracy
Only accpetable answer, but if you've actually browsed these threads you'd see that most of it is filled with single player, AAA trash. And by AAA, I mean basically anything Ubisoft and EA. Literally paying for the same game over and over again

It's either there is a torrent and it has no seeders or there isn't one. Not to mention it's rare to find them with seeders and updated builds. Doesn't help when private trackers are being DDOS'd by shitters for a straight fucking month.

You talk about AAA trash, but then ask how "obscure" you have to be. You don't have to be obscure. Anything that isn't AAA trash or some meme game typically has no torrents

Yeah, great post there. Clearly you have some idea of what you're talking about with that.

This. We weren't seeing a lot of 85% off and huge package deals any more anyway. I feel like the sales improved with this new method, even if they aren't as good as the first few Steam sales.

Underrated post.
>>
>>320607483
It did work exactly that way, though. Everyone kept saying this before the sale, and they were wrong as shit. There were just as many 75% off sales as the past couple years of sales. Remember, the sales have been sucking for a while anyway, this is all we ever got recently except now it's not restricted to daily and flash sales.

They weren't even doing that community vote thing any more, so no more extra price cuts on top of the sale. The timed sale was nothing more than an annoyance as of late.
>>
>>320609515
Timed sales are fucking annoying.

>Out doing shit
>Game I want is on flash
>Sale goes away by the time I can purchase
>Last day the flash sales are up again too so it's completely arbitrary. Just have to wait more to play a game I want

Holy shit, I thought you were lying /v/. But there ARE people this stupid.

I've never used it but, Steam on mobile let's you purchase the game, does it not?
