They stopped doing flash sales when refunds were a thing. People could buy a game, see it was 90% later, refund and buy it when it was much cheaper. Or if you a week or two before the sale you could do the same thing, but the lightning deals has the biggest impact for refunds. Steam didn't stop them, but the game devs just stopped in light of that.
I know people really like refunds but I miss absolutely ridiculously low priced games. The games used to be so cheap, I couldn't even care if a game was actually trash. Got it for a dollar who cares.
That wouldn't solve the problem. The problem is people buying the full priced game, refunding and then getting the lightning deal game. You didn't used to be able to do that.
