If a game I want goes on sale and its something like 10% off do I wait until the last day of the sale to see if it goes down further?

I believe if a game is not on sale you should wait for the last day in case they just haven't approved the sale price yet, but if it's discounted by any amount then it shouldn't get any cheaper due to the no flash/daily deal policy.

Last winter or summer or whatever it was when Ubisoft waited until the day their games were featured on the store's front page to have their sale were their games just not on sale at all before that or did they have them on sale for a small amount and then bump them up to larger discounts just like an old flash sale? I don't remember.

Blocking the "Visual Novel" "RPG Maker" tags made the discovery queue usable for me, I've never bought or played a visual novel game or a game made in RPG Maker but I've looked at over 1,000 games in the discovery queue and about 900 of them were visual novels made in RPG Maker. Thanks for pointing this out :cool:

why the hell would anyone make a visual novel in RPG Maker when Ren'Py exists

Yo Palpek, I'm suprised your info-posts don't make a mention of the Wishlist feature - which alerts you whenever anything goes on sale. That's why I dig deep into the catalog during regular prices, download a demo for anything that catches my eye, or otherwise just add to the Wishlist and I'll research later during sale time. As you say, lots of things don't get featured on the front page and it's a good way to do the legwork in advance.

Plus, you never know when you'll need to spend just 50 cents more for a card or badge...oh wait, I've had Shadow Man (or most of Night Dive's catalog) listed off for ages, only $1.35! Just what I need for an e-trinket!

(We all got problems, right?)

budget yourself for a bunch of low end games to take your time, also join on the gift train once or twice sometimes you get lucky.

The only way to save yourself is unbookmark this thread, and the other steam thread, and go play cards for a week.. The sales.. the draw.. it's too much.

unfortunately my entire budget is from card money so it's one or the other this time, good advice for others though!

The former. Also, I think they staggered them so that not all of their games were on sale at the same time.

Steam added the ability to customize the discovery queue, including the ability to block Early Access games and blacklist keywords, so even if that's the entirety of the sale metagame again it will still be better than last winter.
Now if it would block any VR games.


I would be thankful in advance if someone can grab a copy of Dragonball Xenoverse and/or the three DLC, if any of them has a pricing error of 80+% off for the first day of the sale. I can trade for wishlist stuff or inventory items and a mystery prize.
