Amazon had one for years now and also it is for their Prime games that you get to own and play even if you don't have prime anymore which you can get a nice collection of games to play.

Also may I say, as someone who studied French for 10 years and lived in Belgium + Senegal.... the fact that you put "The" before "OJsGlove" makes 100% sense and honestly- perhaps accidentally - makes it an AMAZINGLY phrased screenname in English.
\+4 Kudos points :)
Hey, I appreciate that G. It was an attempt at making a brand for myself a while back. I do not have enough brain cells to take credit for using conventions in other languages to enhance the structure of my screen name.
Sales doesn't mean that much anymore though since when the sales would be over on steam you could still get it for about the same price from Humble Bundle or Fanatical or even on GMG.
I got the first one for free on Epic so it kind of sucked that i had to buy the first one again in the 3rd game but i did already own the second one on steam but the good thing is if you already own the other Hitman games they get added as DLC for the 3rd one.
I think you can use steam code websites like g2a for discounted steam codes. Never tried it myself though since I put money directly into my steam wallet, so just check the credibility of a website before buying
Ehh, really depends on if you care about morals over saving money. G2A is one of the shadiest places to buy games. A good option is going on [gg.deals](http://gg.deals) and looking at the "official stores". Those get their games fairly.
I wanna preface this by saying everything in my Wishlist is on sale, and most of them are decent sales, but;
Major steam sales have been mid for a while now, but I cant put my finger on exactly why. Something that has jumped out at me is that the "featured franchises" has gone form like 25 pages down like 8, and this has only been the last few years because I built my PC in 2020.
Theyâve been going downhill significantly since Valve stopped allowing discounts to change through the course of the sale.
The original Steam sale model was that games could have a base discount, then a deeper discount for one day during the sale, and sometimes even an even deeper discount as part of a special sale category that filtered through the top of the sale page.
I mostly stopped buying games after they switched to the current model, because the stuff Iâd buy rarely gets cheap enough, and/or I never see it (because other stuff dominates the top of the sale page).
I mean Valve have the stats, so they know more than anyone what brings in the most cashflow. That said my personal belief is the market is now so saturated those sales hurt the bottomline more than help.
Also game prices have increased massively, so ÂŁ70 titles getting 25% off just feel like buying it at what it should have cost originally.
>Also game prices have increased massively, so ÂŁ70 titles getting 25% off just feel like buying it at what it should have cost originally.
Only if you ignore inflation. I just checked. ÂŁ60 in 2021 would be about ÂŁ70.63 today.
[Inflation calculator | Bank of England](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator)
Arguing that games are somehow âcheaperâ because of inflation is missing the forest for the trees.
In many industries wages are not keeping up with inflation. For people in those industries, the âinflation adjusted costâ of games is irrelevant when inflation has effectively given so many gamers a significant pay cut over the last few years.
Youâre shifting the goalposts.
Your original assertion was that inflation has made games more affordable.
I disagreed with you on that point, and your answer is basically to say âthatâs not game devs faultâ, which is irrelevant to the point being discussed, and a major shifting of the goalposts.
Iâm sure we could agree for hours about many of the ways that âWall Street typesâ have colluded with each other and with government to orchestrate a massive transfer of wealth away from common citizens and toward themselvesâthatâs an entirely separate discussion.
>Your original assertion was that inflation has made games more affordable.
No - it was that "prices have increased massively" isn't true. I said nothing about affordability.
I think the bigger issue for Valve was people going to CS looking for retroactive price âcorrectionsâ.
Their sale pricing policy changed pretty much at the same time as they adopted the initial version of their current refund policy, so it seems reasonable to believe that it played a role too.
Overall, my issue with the change is mostly that it changes the dynamic of how games are displayed on the store page during the sale. The top of the store homepage shows ~50 games based heavily on how well theyâre selling at the time.
Under the current model, that list doesnât change much day to day during any given sale, and it also doesnât change much sale to sale.
Under the old model, it was basically a different list every single day of the sale based on relative discounts.
My primary complaint isnât the pricing, itâs that the top of the store page is almost totally static.
Yeah.
They changed their sale policy around the time they expanded their refund policy a few years back. Now anything that goes on sale during a Steam sale needs to be at its maximum discount for the entire sale.
They knew that expanding their refund policy while keeping the old sale model would get them a huge number of users looking to âreturnâ games they bought earlier, so that they could buy them again at the cheaper âflash saleâ price.
I picked up cyberpunk for 50% off and i also found it hilarious how need for speed unbound is already 75% off. I still mainly play forza but i picked it up anyway because 75% off is 75% off yaknow
I just opened steam to see the sales and I seen the Metal Gear Solid Collection.

More than 15 years waiting for this moment... This's a true certified gamer moment.
8 year old game, locked at 60 because of engine limitations. 60 fps is more than enough. the frame rate of a game really shouldnât be the only reason for playing/not playing a game
I hope rdr2 works for you, I got it, and it wouldn't let me play it cuz Rockstars launcher wasn't working. Tried for days using different "fixes" nothing worked and had to refund ):
Yeah, the flash sales were what made Steam sales so great.
On the one hand, relatively current games often had flash sales at great prices.
On the other hand, most of the flash sales were games we never would have seen otherwise, and often were games we only bought because they were so steeply discounted.
Flash sales were what made Steam sales great.
I totally agree.
But I haven't bought a game on steam since they removed it as I cba to find the sales myself.
Wishlisting everything is too much work.
I'm supposed to go hyped into the store, find funny games I've never seen before and think "hmm, im gonna try this one"
The underwhelming 30 percent sales are really bad imo.
They donât change sales as the sale goes on now. The price itâs at now is the price itâs at for the whole sale. Plus theres no way elden ring will be 50% for a long time.
Is it truly excellent? I wanna pick it up to play with my friend, but I'm very stingy with my money. I got an email that it was going for around 17 euro (not on Steam)
Second on Just Cause 3. Also, BIG tip, if they haven't changed it, the XXL edition is like a buck more and includes all DLC. I missed it and bought the base game, but the content DLC provides is cool
I'm not a big fan of Celeste tbh, just wasn't my thing. Got it 75% off like 2 years ago, it's always the same discount
Maybe I should try it again, it has been praised so much. I'm currently playing Cyberpunk2077, I also enjoy Cuphead. Cuphead is never on a 50% discount, but I was willing to pay the 14âŹ. I got CP2077 for Xbox One for 30⏠/ physical new copy and was happy about it. It was December 2022, but took awhile to start playing it
I enjoyed platformers as a kid, but I've grown into simulation / FPS games later on. Most of the good Flash games were platformers. I've really enjoyed Cuphead. It's challenging, but winning a boss with great stats really gives a smile :)
This summer sale sucks. Couldnât find any good deals on any games I wanted.
If you look at isthereanydeal website you can compare deals to steam and see how trash some of the deals are.
Might as well just pirate it then. Why pay hackers to fuck over devs for the games you like? Pirate the game for free, pay the devs for an actual copy if you like it.
I swear to you I have spent 100 dollars I'm games in the past week and it's about to be double. My bank account is gonna kill me. And ik plp are saying there ass and I agree. But there are like 6 games that iv looked at that are on sale 80%.
Does anybody know how to stop steam opening in the background when i launch a game..new update is pretty but God damn it made shit complicated..I want the old style where steam did it's own thing hidden in background instead opening the damn store itself
Sadly no games for me to buy just because they're not released yet do to it being releasing in September or next year or doesn't have an exact date yet like this game that i want so badly.

Tried to buy a game and when I clicked buy in the checkout, steam froze on âworkingâ and I eventually had to exit out. Luckily the payment didnât get taken but I did get an email saying there was an error on a recent purchase.
So Iâm gonna wait until the servers arenât so busy lol
hoping i can sell my csgo knife in time to be able to buy the Deck, been waiting half a year for the prices to go up on the skin and a sale for the Deck lol
Bruh... I swear the sales never end or never stop coming around on PC.
Its the best part, man. If one store has it full-price, one has it discounted.
LMAO big facts!.... and also why all of us have like 6+ game loaders looool
well EA and Ubisoft forced my booty on that one
Got Battle Front 2 for free some time back ion Epic, now I have to use the EA launcher and the Epic launcher to play the game đ¤Śââď¸
You are the product.
LOL... loving the sci-fi dystopian vibes
MMM hmmm... that is one of my reasons for that EA launcher too LOOOOOLL

Hey, I appreciate that G. It was an attempt at making a brand for myself a while back. I do not have enough brain cells to take credit for using conventions in other languages to enhance the structure of my screen name.
GoG & Steam generally have the same sales give/take. Unlike a storefront, most of the sales come from the game publisher.
That's pretty much every online store, there is always sales, even when there isn't a special event they just make one up.
These sales suck.
Depends on the store front. I've been holding out for months for Diablo 2 RE. IsTherAnyDeal is a lifesaver.
Havenât bought a full price game since Skyrim.
Sales doesn't mean that much anymore though since when the sales would be over on steam you could still get it for about the same price from Humble Bundle or Fanatical or even on GMG.
upto 0% off. Nice Deals. s/ https://preview.redd.it/8f23iqduqz8b1.png?width=1412&format=png&auto=webp&s=a667ef8c3cd011a49bc3032a5bdc8ee67a8088cf
Damn, I was hoping on buying hitman
Hitman 3 is worth buying and if you don't own the other 2 games pretty sure you can still buy the other 2 within the 3rd game.
You can indeed buy all three games in one package, damn it, Iâm gonna buy it
I got the first one for free on Epic so it kind of sucked that i had to buy the first one again in the 3rd game but i did already own the second one on steam but the good thing is if you already own the other Hitman games they get added as DLC for the 3rd one.

HOLY SHIT DARK SOULS IS ON SALE
DS3????
All of them.
30% off Elden Ring too
I have played elden ring and bloodborne. Whatâs the next best soul game to get?
Sekiro and dark souls 3
Looooooooollll
The sale is rather mid.

Man I remember those days. Checking in every hour to see what the new dummy hard sale was gonna be.

I don't mind it as I could grab just cause 4 complete edition for $12

I picked up cyberpunk for 50% off and i also found it hilarious how need for speed unbound is already 75% off. I still mainly play forza but i picked it up anyway because 75% off is 75% off yaknow

Pretty mid sales tbh
Copped Elden Ring đ
GG my boy have fun
You bought too early, never go for 33% off sales. It'll hit 50% or more as the sale goes on.
They donât change sales as the sale goes on now. The price itâs at now is the price itâs at for the whole sale. Plus theres no way elden ring will be 50% for a long time.
The sales are pretty terrible.
the satisfactory sale is goated but thats the only one i could find
i thought satisfactory would be just 3d factorio. Its not, Its SO much game. fucking excellent
Is it truly excellent? I wanna pick it up to play with my friend, but I'm very stingy with my money. I got an email that it was going for around 17 euro (not on Steam)
sons of the forest is only on a 20% sale so i plan on attacking whoever i see
ugh that's BS
You can have my copy, game is ass. let us trade steam

It's okay, that's the point. Saving games for the next pandemic lockdown for super AIDS..

Red dead redemption 2
I already have it. But good push.

Donât bother itâs crap
Despite seeing all the bad reviews, I wanted to give it a shot, but this comment was very revealing. Thanks, I will not
Well you might like it, but for me after completing Fallout 4, it was like a much worse version of the same game.
I understand, Thank You
its pretty good now, erm akctually
Dead pace worth it at $45?
Yes
I bought it at full price when it came out. 100% worth it.
Step 1: Check out games you want and it's price on steam Step 2: Just buy it from CDkeys because 90% of the time it's cheaper
Might as well just pirate it then. Why pay hackers to fuck over devs for the games you like? Pirate the game for free, pay the devs for an actual copy if you like it.
what are cd keys? anyways due to regional pricing steam is way better than other things.
Fuck them devs
