Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!
-
What're you buying?
I think I'm going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.
Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.
Remember you can get things refunded if you don't end up liking a game.

I got gnome jigsaw puzzles and the frog DLC for against the storm

Disco isnso good. But even the devs said they would rather have it that people pirate the game bacause they got fucked over and don't make money of the game anymore.
How did that happen?
-
honestly the only ones I picked up this year are the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and Jurassic World Evolution 2. that's it.
I don't think it's a matter of the sale is meh but most of the stuff with deep discounts is always on sale with previous sales and thus I already picked that stuff up. You'll constantly see the same games over and over with each sale and when you participate in each sale that number of games to get great deals on becomes less and less.
Indeed. I think if you know about the other storefronts and isthereanydeal you don't get a wrapped about steam summer sale. There's usually some new ATLs that push newer/bigger game prices down a bit further than usual though.

I actually looked up the source for this and couldn't find it.
That being said I agree with the sentiment.

wrote last edited by [email protected]There's a rather long documentary on it. I want to say by NoClip but not totally sure.
Short version is they came up with the idea in the 90s I want to say, playing tabletop with a friend group. Two main designers. Helped set up a company to make a computer RPG version and designed and built the game with a team. Outsider investing came in and bought up some amount of the company.
Once game was built and shipped and they were looking into what to do next they were effectively ousted from the company. So the two original designers of the game now get nothing and lost control of their passion project.
Edit: while. NoClip is making one, the one I'm thinking of was done by People Make Games. At least I think it's this one? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIGA8taN-M

All these have been on my wishlist for ever. Finally made the purchases today.
- Stardew Valley
- Disco Elysium
- Kerbal Space Program
Edit to add
Disco Elysium has been refunded. Thanks everyone for the advice.wrote last edited by [email protected]Dear God no. Refund Disco Elysium if you can. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.
The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.
Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don't give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.

but it doesn't go out of date
That's not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)
Classic is a little different from modern tsw, it could have been retired when it became Classic but they kept it on. How long on total was that dlc available for? And I don't believe its been turned off just not available to buy or officially supported?

Pseudoregalia is insanely good
It is very good. Nails the style.

Frogs are what peak 3D platformer performance looks like.

One of my favorite games of all time, The Talos Principle, is on sale for $5. There's a remastered version but honestly the original holds up really well. It's a first person puzzle platformer game similar to Portal but the main point is the story, which is a really thought provoking philosophical exploration of humanity, machine consciousness, and self determination. It is legitimately the most interesting game I've played in the past 5 years and it has really caused me to think about these topics in ways I hadn't before.
Myself I am buying Persona 5, Pizza tower, and the Phoenix Wright trilogy. I have been wanting to play Persona 5 basically since it came out, and I got to try Pizza Tower a few weeks ago at a friend's house and really loved it as a fan of the Wario Land games. Phoenix Wright is just nostalgic for me and there really aren't similar games out there.

Awesome, thank you. Refund requested

Still mad that they fucked up KSP2. I realize it was a different studio, but I'm not happy about it.
I can't really blame the studio though, I mean the publisher went bust. The game was coming along slowly, but it was definitely coming along, and I really liked what I was seeing.
I just wish Private Division wasn't such a mess. It's all just so disappointing.

Summer Stale.
I miss the old sales, when games had deep discounts and the deals cycled like every 2/4/6/8 hours.

yup, but in exchange would you give up the refund process that we now have?

Great game, solid sequel too.
