sales goes on a lot since a few years. about 4 majors steam sales per years not including the small ones.

next one should be lunar new year as you missed christmas. it usualy start around end of january so in about 2-3 weeks by now.

as for the bugs i am enjoying the game bug free so far. now it's rather balance issue that get fixed.

Games on sale for its biggest discount since release. Check fanatical.

Is that a key site? (dunno how else to describe it)

Fanatical is a legit site, like Greenmangaming.
They used to be known as bundlestars, when they used to have some legendary bundles (like those Dark Eye RPG's for $1.99 each).
100% legit.

I've never heard of any of Greenmangaming, bundlestars or Dark Eye RPG's so all that means nothing to me. I was just asking if they primarily sell keys. I wasn't asking if they're "legit" or not etc.

I'll go on the presumption of "yes, they primarily sell keys". If you work for them, you've gave a bad first - and last - impression.

Also does it work well without bugs?

Well they just fixed a couple of critical bugs in December where essential NPCs you had to talk to would end up dead so there are plenty of bugs to be had.

I would recommend not playing in Last Azlanti (i.e. ironman) mode.

Then you don't know much about online shopping. He is right. gg.deals lists fanatical as an official store selling for 14.99. I prefer buying from GOG but you are not likely to do much better anytime soon. $14 is the lowest it's ever been.

According to various sites there won't be a Lunar New Year Sale on Steam this year, instead something in Spring.

And that's a bad thing? a good thing? does it matter? This is nonsensical at best.

The question raised by myself wasn't anything to do with online shopping knowledge in a general sense of the activity. I asked a particular question about a particular site.

See the little mouse icon next to my username, that means I already have the game. I got it as a gift a while back. Personally I'd say I did better than £14

The Dark Eye is a tabletop RPG setting, most commonly played in Germany, known for attention to detail and sometimes over the top realism (compared to stuff like Greyhawk, Planescape, Forgotten Realms Pathfinder, etc).
Games like Blade of Destiny, Shadows over Riva, (Realms of Arkania) and other series like Drakensang come from this setting.

If you got it as a gift you did indeed get a good deal.
