Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!
-
People got wise to it lol. People were posting flowcharts about not buying games until they were on flash deals if you want them. Also some years I think they did something that led people to believe only having specific games on your wishlist was advantageous which led to people removing everything from their wishlist except for stuff that was more expensive. That disproportionately hurt indie devs.
All in all I think I'm glad it's gone. Plus the games (like that racing thing) never made sense to me.
i remember one year there was a game i wanted all year
and it came up on flash sale finally for like 95% off, and steam shit the bed for two hours and I couldnt check out, presumably from the crush of purchase attempts.
I emailed and asked if they'd honor the price given the issues on their side, and they said no, I missed the sale. Not gonna lie, that kinda heated me up quite a bit, cause I didnt miss the damn sale, I wasnt able to check out cause their end shit itself.

What're you buying?
Sadly nothing as I'm kinda broke. Got enough in my backlog to see me through though.
-
There's always the five finger discount
Or you can simply cough up the money and pay for one of the best games ever made?
-
It’s already the cheapest game per minute played
I'm guessing minecraft beats it. Or if you look at an individual player with thousands of hours it's probably one of the mario speedrunners.
-
I could maybe use 20-40 euros, so I could get one of these
These
- DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT 15,99€
- God of War 19,99€
Or
- Star Wars Outlaws 34,99€
Or
- Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition 38,62€
Don't know yet which I should get
Outlaws isn't worth it tbh, I really enjoyed death stranding though great game
-
And Factorio still doesn't changes price. Wth
The price is the price, yo

Or we can be upset that some devs never put their games on sale when tons of others do. I don't care if it's considered "the best game ever made" by gamers who are already fans of factory-type games, that argument doesn't hold any water for someone who's a fan of other genres like RPGs or shooters.
Also, their "reasoning" that it's unfair to people who paid full price is bullshit and you know it. Tainted Grail had its full release last month, along with a price increase, but the game had gone on sale multiple times between the EA and full releases. Abiotic Factor is doing the exact same thing, and also had sales in between the EA release and full game. There's no real reason that it shouldn't go on sale at least once a year or something. If you miss a sale, that's on you.

Aa per the FAQ on their website, Factorio will never go on sale.
Which is kinda stupid imo. If you want more people to try and buy your game, you should at least put it on sale once a year.

Supreme Commander is good. It is the closest modern-ish game to Total Annihilation that I've seen.
The entire collection is super cheap right now.

They’ve sold between 5 and 8 million copies of that game to date.
I think they’re doing fine without needing a sale and devaluing their product.

What should I get? I'm back on Morrowind from a bout of dwarf fortress. A modern Morrowind would be perfect. But not oblivion I need something fresh. I've been eyeing start citizen but the reviews are really lackluster especially about the thing I care about.
OpenMW and TES3MP is a great way to enjoy Morrowind in a modern engine and with friends.
There’s plenty of mods available for OpenMW so you can make it look stunning and add loads of new functionality.

Dread delusion claims to be like Morrowind, but it's just on my wishlist soni can't say how accurate it is.

I'm sorry, I didn't see Undertale anywhere on the box art.

I haven’t played a single game I bought from last summer sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You lost this \

What about the price for your life?

I have to imagine once it ages a bit more they'll bring the regular price down. But as many fans say, it's really a fair price for what the game is.
