Would D2 technically qualify for the upcoming Steam Bash Bash sale?

[Millennium]

There is an upcoming Steam sale that is for games that use melees as a primary mechanic, wondering if D2 would technically count since there are Swords and Glaives.

You say that like titans don't exist.

Quick answer, no.

Destiny 2 is primarily a shooter, and even if it was primarily melee, it's not up to Steam to include it in any sale event, it's up to the publishers if they want to participate. And it's unlikely that Bungie would include it an any sale events. They occasionally sell specific DLCs for 25% or 33& off. And they usually have a bundle of some of the DLCs (atm it's the legacy bundle which includes Beyond Light, Forsaken and Shadowkeep, the vast majority of which is vaulted) which usually give you a around a 20-25% discount overall.

Depends on how Valve determine which games qualify. If, as I expect, they use tags then just about any game on Steam could qualify.

Like I said, Steam has no real say, it's up to publishers to participate in steam sale events. Steam/Valve can only offer the opportunity to participate and suggest the discount amount. Prices are 100% set by the game's publishers, not Steam. Which is why you see wildly differing discounts during any steam sale (like anywhere from 10% to 80%).

I never said anything about prices as I know full well that they're down to the publisher and whilst you're also right in that Valve can't force a publisher to participate in a sale they absolutely can set conditions on what games qualify to participate in a particular sale.

Given that practically the entire store recommendation algorithm is based on tags it's not much of a stretch to suggest they may use tags for other things such as sales.

i would recommend going to one of the legit key reseller sites and u can buy destiny 2 expansions for hella cheap. i havent boughten witch queen yet but i bought the legacy collection that includes all past DLCS and only paid about half the price of what it cost on steam, and they had just as good of deals on witch queen as well, most steam games for that matter. i would only every pay steam prices if there literally isnt a key floating around for sale on of the resell sites
