2 days ago, I bought Amnesia, Civ 5 Game of the Year Edition and COH Complete. COH Complete was on as a daily deal. Now, the next day, Amnesia which was 50% goes on for 75% I feel ripped off. 20 dollar game, I spent 10 bucks, now, a matter of 12 hours later, it's 5 bucks. So, I'm kinda PO'd about that but enjoying my games, when another 24 hours, Civilization 5 goes on sale from 50% to 75%. I spent 25 bucks on it, and I really enjoy it, but now it's on for 15 bucks. I feel as if Steam should have a system where if you buy a game, and within the next 3 days it goes on sale, it should temporarily for 3 days per-say, add the extra value you could've saved to your Steam Wallet, now that they have that system. I think it'd provide a good alternative to people who can't willy-nilly spend money.

Too bad, there are tons of warnings by users NOT to buy right away.

Golden Rule of Steam Sales: Only buy a game if it's a daily deal (or flash deal or CC). Only on the very last day of the sale may you buy any games that never went on daily/flash/CC that you still want.

Every longterm Steam user knows this.

Nature of the beast, man. Stick with daily/flash/community deals until the last day and then buy whatever else you want. It has been this way ever since Steam started doing these big sales. :/

It's not a bad idea, but I think you'll be better off suggesting it to Steam. Not that I think they'd do anything about it. It's part of how their sales always work, and making this mistake once or twice you'll learn to wait for daily (or in the sale flash) deals.

I highly doubt you will find any sympathy from the forums it's the risk we all take, do I buy it and know that I have saved 50% or do I wait and hope that it comes for 75% which may or may not happen.

You have given nearly double the money to the developers of these amazing games than you otherwise would have, had you bought them off daily deals; and I think that's admirable. Kudos to you, sir.

sales a sale like they say you win some you lose some. the price had to be good for you if you bought it in the first place so if it gets discounted again than its just bad timing. itll be cool getting credit back if the price drops but just seems unlikely.

Always wait until the last day of a Steam sale.

Also say goodbye to your SG account.

/facepalm

The point wasn't that I bought the games before they went on full sale, It was that they should implement a system with the Steam Wallet for that.

Your fault. This is how Steam makes money - by waiting for people to spend money when the don't need to.

this is just silly. everyone knows that you dont rush into buying hoping to get a good deal. its a trade-off, and always has been: do i want it NOW, or do i want the best deal.

You're doing steam sales wrong. If something isn't a daily deal, don't buy it until the last day of the sale.

I only buy games that are on daily deals or flash sales or community sales. The rest of the games you can buy in the last day if they don't come on sale before that. You should be smart about things like this. Why buy a game now when the discount is till 23rd and there is a possibility of the game coming on sales? Surely you can wait for a while.
