I feel like the Steam sales stopped being good a few years ago. I think when they stopped doing flash sales? Now most games are just regular sale price off. No real special deals anymore.
I miss checking daily for new updates on what was for sale and getting a game at a really good price. Now everything is the same price for the entire two weeks so it feels exciting for maybe the first 5 minutes when you check your wishlist and after that it's done.
Don't want to be too negative though. Hope there are some good deals and everyone can grab something at a good price!
Yeah but a sale is a sale. I don't get upset at clothing stores for having sales even though T-shirts have been the same for 60 years more or less.
I don't understand why you would want your sale to be gimmicky, I hate that. Go shop on Temu, DealDash or something like that if you want lightning sale thrills. I prefer to just have a sale and take some time about what I want to buy.
Edit: because it seemed directed at the person I am commenting to.
