Steam sale ends with a dud

Also how is Metal Gear Rising not one of the best sellers to go back on it's steeper discount. I was certain that would be in the encore as it was selling like crazy the day it was on sale.

+1 it is the worst deals that had steam.

damn, i thought Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will be -50% again.

sighs Steam disappointed me hard today. Was expecting a last day with some featured deals that didn't happen during this entire sale. Instead they made a boring community choice and 12h deals. Not to say some days were boring too.

Sure we had a few surprises like new releases from 2-3 months ago for 50% off or close (Evil Within, Civ, Borderlands..) but still those don't feel that great for some reason. Civ and Borderlands feel a bit like they could have been cheaper at it's initial release price to start with. Don't feel much exciting.

i bought a few games this sale but that's mainly because i had the money sales have been shit

A bit sad but at least our long and slowly drawn out suffering it is finally over. Until next Spring/Summer sale, that is!

The sad thing is that so many games had better deals during Fall sale. Case in point: TRI: Of Friendship and Madness was 33% off during Winter, but barely a month prior it was 75% off.

I know people complain about every Steam sale lately but this one really was weak. Most of the games I was waiting on didn't drop below 50%.

I even crafted a Holiday Sale badge instead of selling the cards like I usually do because there was hardly anything to buy.

+1 only bought like 6-7 games and just 2 from steam (Orion prelude and overcast),the rest i got it via splitting packs/trading. By the way valdis story and the obscure franchise didn't even get discounted .-.

"best deals"
Its sad i bought more games in fall sale than in this sale.

regional locking is totally not to blame

Idk, i found good stuff to buy. Be happy instead: you got more money to do/buy other stuff.

Temple of Osiris has been 50% off at GMG and HB but not steam. lol Maybe pubs are getting a bigger cut selling games outside of steam now or something. I know Steam "suggests" all prices including sale prices, so idk what's going on other than Valve is getting greedy.

Yes this sale sucked for me too. Almost nothing I wanted went over 50% off, and the stuff that did I had seen for bigger discounts earlier in the year.

too bad I added 25 euros to my steam wallet in the beginning of the sale

And water is wet

I almost completely dodged Halloween sale, In order to spend all mah monniez at the Xmas sale, but it didn't work out for me lel... I've seen better deals.

I bought more this sale then any other in the past 3-4 years so I'll leave you to your sad little pity party.
(BTW I looked at your wishlist, if you don't think you bought enough cheap or heavily discounted games then that's on you, they're there for the taking.)

I bought Bit.Trip Flux for $1 to complete my BT Collection.

That's all.

I don't think anything else on my wishlist went more than 66% off.

Somewhat bizarre way of handling the last two days, but I guess it's good for those who missed the previous dailies? But then what about those that missed the community vote and 12 hour sales?
It all just seems like Valve is doing weird observations on buying habits (again).

I really can't complain about the prices though (I mean, I got Flight Simulator X for $20 off), since my limit for most everything now is $5 and I have most everything I want. The real problem is so many were expecting way lower prices and it seems like a lot of these prices were seen before in previous sales, on Steam or elsewhere.
That, and all the recent trading restrictions and completely awful auction thing.

Worst SALE in the history of steam .. also i didnt craft any badges because there were no crafting rewards.. 50+ full completed sets just lying around zzzz...

Some publishers be like:"When we set a 15% disscount people will buy the shit out of this game" f.ex. Game of thrones by ttg or The Forest... The only thing i bought was Speedrunners to play with my friends.. Mh, its was definately a bad sale. Holiday sales were really great and big,but this year it sucked :/

Are people still whining about the sale geez when this nightmare will ends?

Eh I don't see a big issue besides half the community vote stuff. And as far as events go, last year's was rage worthy.
