winter sale thought

Yes, no daily and flash deals :/

I'm not so sure that the deals are actually worse than normal though. Looking at the frontpage deals, they seem to be in line with what you would expect. You don't get the psychological effect that makes you impulse purchase and try to trick you into thinking that the deals are better than they actually are, based on a perceived scarcity anymore.

I've never been a huge spender during these sales but I did want to pick up a few games. Rambo being one of them and it didn't even get any discount :(.

there are 10.000 discounted games right now, that's way more than we had on any other sale. not as fun as discovering each day which new crap games are on heavy discount, but it's easier to plan expenses in advance.

It's okay. Maybe steam thinks that daily deals and "limited time" discount during a sale season does not increase sale. Users can grab any games they want at 50% off without being afraid it will go for 80% off the next day. Smoother server, less likely that a price glitch to occur during transition time. Less downtime means more purchase.

It's decent. I found two great games (Civilization Beyond Earth (which was on my wishlist) and Endless Legend) that were worth my money. But it is not the best sale I've seen on steam.

i bought gta 5 and i have everything

but yes, the worst sales ever. i wanted auctions :/

got it free

One thing I know for sure it's better, is the Tomb Raider Collection. I purchased it in June for 16€ thinking it wouldn't go any lower, and now costs 12€ with a nice -85%. I got a bit upset, but this morning I woke up and saw I won Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, so... XP
Have a nice Christmas

eh, from my part Im happy with the discounts we got

wasnt planning to pick up hundred of games anyway, not that my 10 euro of steam wallet would let me go on a shopping spree anyway XD
