It's all fun and games until an Egyptian hacker steals all your V-Bucks and Tim Sweeney personally comes to your home to tell you that he believes that the Egyptian hacker is actually you now since he's logged in to your account.

We’re just jaded af.

I can relate. The first time was awesome. Now I'm just waiting for my wishlisted games to hit the same historical low from a past sale.

A young gamer is irrelevant by definition though, as they can't judge the "ever" part. ;)

I disagree, many of the games I'm following have had better sale prices on past Steam sales or in different stores. Many games have the same discount they've had for years. The few that have better discount prices are only marginally cheaper. The event and lack of cards have generally been found to be worse. If something keeps getting worse, stating that this is the "worst summer sale" is actually a quite accurate statement. Can you provide me with a worse Steam Summer than this one? Sometimes a bad sale is just a bad sale.

very cool. I got the game too because it looked very interesting. Still getting used to the mechanics. Maybe we can play some time :)
hmu <^.^>

You forgot about Oprah and that one Baldwin brother they keep forgetting to invite to the family reunions.

Hey, leave the Shamwow guy out of it. I like that guy.

There's your mistake... wrong Conan!

I would have called the FBI. I know a guy there who can make wonders.
I want to believe he can solve the mystery of why this sale is be so bad.

If I hadn't spent my Lunar Sale tokens just prior to the Summer Sale (when someone posted here that we could still access the page), I'd have had 38,000 tokens before taking part in the event, and I know people who had a lot more than that to start.

And I didn't exploit anything.

will this be removed/reversed at the end? Can't be that some people have such Advantages.

called consumerism has nothing to do with gamers in the grand scheme of things .... BAHHHHHHHHH

Wanna provide some actual proof...?

I even looked through everything. At the very worst you'll see people irrationally frustrated at the discounts. I doubt I'm the only one here looking for something to point towards users thinking that Valve owes them a steep sale.

people act like Valve owes them something

You know, they want us to give them our money. They should be there for us, not the other way around. So yes, they should do everything in their power to keep us happy.
I know it's hard to believe in this day and age when companies can do whatever the hell they please and we are expected to keep our mouths shut, but customers are what should matter the most.

Well, fair enough, let's dilute the word's meaning due to technicalities and unnecessary semantics, sure.

Don't breathe too much now. Need more oxygen to live? Nah, mate, calm yer tits, you're actually just a really greedy person. Hope you're not eating more than 1200 calories of course either. That's just greed if you go higher.

Regardless, being a consumer that has self-interests is as much greed as buying off-brand food in the grocery store.
Games aren't a necessity. Buying games is fine. Not buying them is just as fine. It's a pretty bitter outlook to respond to disappointed comment on a topic about a sales as "greed".
I hope you're buying everything at full price without flinching and you never have wanted something without getting it. If you've done one of these things, congrats, you're now greedy.

Quick question: You did spend all of your life earnings on this sale, right? You didn't hoard the money for yourself, like some greedy goblin in a dank dungeon, right? Only greedy people want to save their wealth. Like a dragon in its lair. There are stories written about people like you. How greed corrupts. Scary stuff.

As with shares and stock investment... diversify :)

Of the things you said only the exclusives are complains I agree with. Store features are things that take time, see Steam for god sake xD
And I didn't see really proof of the data stealing on reddit or forums, just angry steam fanboys who obviously are not objective and probably made that up lol

Not only does it make no sense but it's the kind of greedy move that makes people stop buying altogether.
There were games on sale that usually go a little lower when discounted but I thought what the hell, if I can get the discount from spending a couple more euros. Not anymore. I'll buy them later on.

Look at it as a conversion from Points to Tokens which it is.
The Tokens are then consumed by whatever you spend them on but get never destroyed for the remainder of the Event.

Think positive, be positive ;)
