I just opened my Steam wishlist and there’s a lot of titles on there with 75% - 90% off. Including a one piece game normally $80 for $12.
Now to go through them and see which ones I still want now that they are cheap and time has passed for more reviews/development. Seems like games I add to my wishlist are about 50/50 for if I actually want them when they are really cheap.
The era of mass buying games on sale has come and gone imo.
I haven’t seen any really interesting deals in relation to games I remotely care about in years.
I’m starting to go down the dark path of Indies only.
Indies are the bright path. Been absolutely fucking enthralled with Signalis lately, and it was made by less than a handful of people.
The dark path is AAA games: expensive, buggy at launch, unnecessary micro payments, short-lived.
It’s sad. The heyday of steam sales were insane - I’d never seen anything like it for gaming.
Now, it just feels underwhelming.

Its underwhelming because the sales aren’t as great, and all the games that I’ve wanted I’ve bought.
Nothing new is all that enticing, and if it is it’s an indie title and doesn’t need to go on sale and therefore probably won’t.
Most indie titles are like 2.99 ~ 30 bucks tops. And all of the damn decent ones are around that 10~25 dollar range.
They may be gone but left a lot in their wake.
On a serious note, indies also sell at a discount sometimes and I already have too many games in the backlog to finish them ever, I think 😰
