I know how these sales work, but when a game goes on sale for a daily or flash deal, that should be as high as it'll go for the rest of the sale. I picked it up the first day because I thought it would be that much if it went on sale again. But here it is, going on sale for a higher percentage.

This has happened to me in the past with their recap days. Bought some DLC for $2.5 at -50% and it was -75% during the recap day.
This time, however, I got SR3 franchise for $10 thanks to a helpful Aussie. :D (If anyone in AU/NZ wants to coop it some time: let me know.)

It's perfectly understandable to wait until the last minute for a generic sale and hope it goes as a daily deal (for example, not buying Morrowind at 50% off and waiting for the daily deal where it's 75% off) but there's no reason to wait to buy a game when it's a daily deal since that's expected to be the lowest price it'll go. For example all the SR3 DLC was normal 33% off the whole sale, but during one of the daily deals all the DLC became 75%. It was perfectly fine to wait for that. But I don't see the logic of not buying a daily deal of a game you want since there's no reason it should go on sale for lower than that and that may be the only daily deal there is for the game, which will then make yous tuck with having to pay 50% off as opposed to 75%.

Nah. I bought 3 games on Day 1 and all I got was a great deal.
Portal 2 didn't change its price in the following days as it was already very cheap from the start
The Trine Franchise reappeared more than once, but always with the same discount
Legend of Grimrock was -66% only on Day 1 and then stayed -40% till the last day.
All this to show you that to "wait till the last minute" isn't always the smartest of moves.

You got a game at a 75% discount, you don't have the right to feel cheated at all at it being a wee bit cheaper later. I've bought several games at full price that went on sale fairly soon after. Did I feel cheated? Nah, I just though "Well damn" and went on with my day.

I bought the game for full price and unistalled it a few hours after. You didn't do that bad.

Agree... A bit unhappy myself. I bought it at the beginning of the sale and haven't played or installed it. If it were a retail version sealed I'd be able to return it to the store and get the lowered price. But Steam doesn't accept returns on digital products. I'd have liked to save the extra money... Steam would have gotten the extra money when I bought an additional game anyhow... I get the whole business thing... but can't help how I feel... disappointed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Buy games on Steam at the price you're comfortable with (especially in these big sales events), because the price may change at any time and there's nothing you can do about it once you've bought the game. If it's not cheap enough, don't buy it.

I bought Saints Row: The Third when it went on sale as a daily deal for 75% the first day. I didn't really care about the DLC package, because it was $25. But now, I check out the SR3 flash sale today. The whole pack is a mere $13.29, a whole dollar more than the separate game. I feel cheated out of this sale, anyone with me?
