Literally the worse steam summer sale ever. Everything is only like 15-25% off with the occasional 50% off a full $60 game that came out a year ago with a full $50 season pass.

Where all the 75-90% off of games?!?

As the number of users rise, the incentive to have "Crazy Gabe's Deep Discounts" has diminished. They don't really need to have insane deals to draw new people to the platform and now instead of serving the consumer, which is what they used to do, now Valve kowtows to the publisher so that they don't incur too large a "loss" during sales. Just look at the other imbecilic things they have done (paid mods) that aren't really consumer friendly as they are publisher friendly. And friendly to faggots that steal free mods and try to pass them off as their own and make them for sale. Fuck you Russia.

Instead of cards you got coal items in your inventory. For daily voting stuff and buying games.

Coals were keys to free games. Russians bought Humble Bundles for 1 cent - Back in the days Humble still gave you steam keys even if you only paid one cent - And so they made thousands of accounts with the Humble games giving them voting rights and so free coal and games.

You guys know how you promote a babby business, right? You have shit like "come in and be entered to win a $100 gift card" or "refer a friend, get $100" or just ridiculously-cheap deals like Steam has. Now that they have a massive userbase with a track record of buying shit on their storefront, a 40% discount leaves them and the devs with a little more cash.

Plus, most games selling so well came out really recently, enough so that a huge discount would be stupid (unless they're already dead, like Battleborn).

>or is this it
Is this it? Shit is barely discounted and a bunch of games didn't even get a drop.
>>
When games gets below 10 euros i start to buy on impulse and 20 euros might lead to a buy if i have an interest in the game. So the discounts are really irrelevant and since so many games have really high standard prices so few games drop to the prices that i want. I don't remember this being the case a couple of years ago. When i talk to friends about console prices i talk about games costing 60+ euros but normal prices for high budget pc games seems to have adopted those prices. I have still the mindset that a new games should cost 40-50 euros but this does not seem to be the case anymore.

Two questions:

1) What the hell is the logical connection between the quality of a Steam sale and the discount percentages in the "top sellers" list?

The top sellers almost exclusively contains two types of games: new games and very popular games. These are two types of games which are less likely to see deep discounts.

2) Can you show that the top sellers during previous sales were significantly more discounted on average?

Remember that one data point is meaningless if you're trying to claim that something has changed. I'll also point out that anecdotal evidence doesn't count; I'm sure you'll say "I remember when it wasn't like this" but then I'll point out that I remember it being like this every year.

Doom came out less than six weeks ago, and it's already 40% off. That's actually a surprisingly large discount for that particular game.

The last game I bought for under $1.40 was Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi. It was $0.99 at the time, and the price is the same now. I enjoyed it, but this doesn't mean you will. It's a difficult first-person shooter with randomization. The graphics are dated as fuck and the controls aren't the best, but the mechanics are interesting and it's spooky.

I'm just glad they're not doing stupid gimmicky mini game bullshit with the sales this time.
Also I'm glad that all the sales are here day 1 and they stay the same through the whole thing.
Daily Deals sucked because you weren't sure if you should buy the game while it was 30% off at he beginning of the sale or risk waiting until later for it to possibly go up for even cheaper.
Then you waited, you missed the 30%, and it didn't go back up for sale.

Buying games during Steam Sales used to be a gamble.
Now I know exactly what I'm getting into.

Best Steam Sale yet.

No, child. Games as hyped up as Doom usually just take more than six weeks to go down to 40% off.

Black Ops 2 is still full-price, which always makes me laugh. But I know that's not quite the same.

Bagged milk is an eastern thing. Kinda like sweet tea in the southern states. Bagged milk stays fresher longer than a jug since there's less air in the bag after you take milk since it creates a vacuum as the bag collapses. You need to drink a lot of milk though since it's only sold in 2 2 Liters packs (4 liters total). Cartons are the fucking worst though.

>>342541242
>I'm just glad they're not doing stupid gimmicky mini game bullshit with the sales this time.

In my opinion, the mini-games and other things that happen during sales only became stupid and gimmicky after Steam introduced trading cards and subsequently decided to make everything about trading cards.

>Also I'm glad that all the sales are here day 1 and they stay the same through the whole thing.

About a year ago, I would have strongly disagreed with you, because daily deals and flash sales are fun if you can be online all the time. But now that I have a full-time job, I'm very likely to miss an entire day of sales, so I'm totally okay with static discounts.
>>
They've stopped doing flash sales, and even their gimmicky sale games. This gimmick this time is to click through your queue, which are essentially ads, to get a card.
They've become lazy because they know they can still generate hype

Yes, the sales you see now will be the prices for the entirety of the sale. The "highlighted deals" are just a random selection of games to show. No more flash sales.
>>
Is this the worst ever summer sale?
>>
Not having Daily Deals and Flash Sales really take the urge away to constantly check the front page for new deals and getting games that you might didn't know about or would not have bought otherwise. This new system feels lazy and badly thought out. Most of the deals the past few months sucked.

It's no coincidence that the discounts suck now that flash/daily sales aren't a thing.

You'd have to be retarded to think publishers are okay with devaluing the fuck out of their game on a digital platform for 2 weeks straight. Flash sales allowed them to be cheap for a limited amount of time and then use the hype of the new sales to get people to buy at the "normal" sale price.

Valve discontinued flash/daily sales because they get a 30% cut of all sales, so the higher price things are bought at, the better.

Bundle sites are honestly the way to go for dirt cheap games now. Mostly for indie titles, but some AAA publishers participate every so often.

>>342532580
This. Last winter sale was the worst winter sale we ever had as well, and also the first time we dropped the flash/daily sales.

>>
I bought something for 80% off so I don't mind this sale.
>>
>>342541706

Yes, but a lot of these games wouldn't have gone lower anyway.

In past years, I would see F.E.A.R. for $2.49 during a daily deal or flash sale. That's the current price.

In past years, I would see Max Payne 3 for $4.99 during a daily deal or flash sale. That's the current price.

I'm sure there are some games whose current price is only as good as the "regular discounts" of previous sales, but after looking at just a few games I can already confirm that some games are currently priced as they typically are during a daily deal or flash sale.
>>
>>342542103
>Valve discontinued flash/daily sales because they get a 30% cut of all sales, so the higher price things are bought at, the better.

no they were canceled out because refund system made flash/dailies pointless. buy game for x price, it goes on flash sale for y price, refund it and rebuy at y price.

Anon, IG had a Majesco publisher bundle with fucking Costume Quest 2 (bundled for the first time) just the other day. BundleStars had a decent LEGO bundle as well, and bundle good Night Dive/3DRealms stuff all the time.

98 is in the BTA of a current Humble Bundle and 2002 UM is in the $10-tier. I have no idea why 13 isn't in it though, but the bundle is worth it if you don't have any of the Metal Slug games on Steam and are a fan. Plus, there's a small chance you might get more Steam keys for the DRM-free shit that isn't on Steam yet the next time they do a Humble Bundle.

Redux by far for the original. It's not as big of a difference for Last Light.

The problem with the Redux versions was that they were charging way too much for them and giving a shitty 50% discount to owners of the original.
