MercurySteam releasing new game reminds me I still need to grab this.

 

[jshackles]

Hoping for some good deals, but I'm sure that we'll get the usual Sekiro for $30 per usual

 

[Kacho]

Definitely sitting this one out

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Hoping for some good deals, but I'm sure that we'll get the usual Sekiro for $30 per usual

Seems to be the running theme for practically every game on my wishlist. Quite a few games always have the same sale price, for years.

 

[Puscifer]

Behave yourselves.

Its 30 now!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Nine Sols and Animal Well are the only two I’m interested in that I don’t already own from the trailer.

 

[Idleyes]

I'm not buying a damn thing. My backlog of discounted impulse buys is so massive, it's starting to warp spacetime.

Hoping for some good deals

Steam sales these days are only really useful and/or interesting for niche games that are hard to find on other stores and have the same price.

There are plenty of those though and you don't give up the ability to refund. Also, a lot of times the other stores prices will adjust down to compete so still a good time to look for deals.

I don't understand anyone who buy the game from steam directly when the publishers are greedy as fuck.

[Agent_4Seven]

Not going to buy a single game, bought plenty already. Winter sale it is.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'll try to be strong I promise.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Too bad the Steam Deck 2 isn't available.
Too bad the Deckard isn't available.
Valve has been sleeping a bit too much lately. Where the hell is the official Steam OS release? Last I heard it was going to release in March. it's March.
Well? Were waiting.

also waiting for Portal 3.

Yeah, that's true, but what I meant is that, for the most part, you can find great sales on other stores throughout the year too, which makes Steam sales not as appealing as they were years ago

Definitely. Sales were a much bigger event back then.

Me before the sale: I have a huge backlog, I won't buy anything this time.

Me on March 13th:

Not all games are available to be bought on 3rd party websites (some indie titles).

Also, some games are actually cheaper on Steam during sales (some visual novels, very niche Japanese titles, etc).

EDIT: But yeah, if it's available on key sites, it will be cheaper there most of the times.

I hope for something good but ever since getting the Steam Deck and actually following these sales, I realize its the same discount 99% of the time. Its never a surprise like last sale was $25 but this sale its a $10 game. It will be $25 for next 10 years lol.

Car maintenance broke both my legs this month. Lets wait and see the discounts, but thanks anyway.

Capcom deals are live a day early:

Capcom Spring Sale

Save up to 87% on select CAPCOM games from March 12th through March 24th during the Capcom Spring Sale! Featured Products

store.steampowered.com

Kind of disappointing discounts after having a few Humble and Fantatical bundles with most of this stuff over the past few months.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I always like looking at Steam sale threads for one thing which is seeing who gets excited and who doesn't. I can tell long time PC gamers from new players by how they react.

Steam sales used to be so damn good. It's hard to find any excitement nowadays.

Definitely sitting this one out

Yeah, I will probably sit it out as well. If the recent Chilla's Art game go on sale I might grab them but that's it.

 

[Guilty_AI]

keeping a lookout for these three packages

The Citadel & Beyond Citadel on Steam

store.steampowered.com

The Surrealist Bundle on Steam

store.steampowered.com

MULLET ULTRAKILL BUNDLE on Steam

Obviously refunds and changes to Steam's policies regarding discounts has put a damper on the excitement of the sales (remember "Flash Sales"? Amazing stuff!). However, also having unlimited forward compatibility on PC, combined with a personal library of games that only grows over time, means that most of us that have been gaming on PC for a long time already own the things we want and are therefore immune to caring how deep a discount can be had during the sales.

For example, last year The Witcher 3 price dropped to just $4 during the Summer Sale - the lowest price it's ever been. That's obviously an insane deal for someone just getting into PC gaming, but the vast majority of us have picked it up somewhere along the way when it was $10, or $20 (still a good deal!). Heck, last month Steam had Skyrim for just $4 as well - same thing, crazy value for people that don't already have it.

When you get to have a Steam library that's my size (almost 5000 games) there is obviously a huge chunk of the store that will get great discounts that I personally won't care about at all.

Steam sales died after they stopped making pricing errors and got rid of flash sales.

Now the reality is that most games are on sale all year round via 3rd party key sites.

 

[Plague Doctor]

I can't wait to add to my backlog.

And sadly, I mean this.

Absolutely.

I think another thing for me as well is how good the sales on consoles are now as well. It used to be that 1. consoles didn't really have much digital games in general and 2. that the sales were meh but now games basically go on sale for the same price plus minus $1-3 on every platform.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Maybe grab Elden Ring and Erd Tree expansion if it gets a good discount. Moved over all my Souls-games to PC since free online. But From Softwares games usually stays at a consistently high price nowadays so not expecting much.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Really hoping that RimWorld and Doorkickers 2 get a bit of a discount.
