Will it go on sale during christmas?

[Combo]

I hope so.

[Corvax]

Most likely not.

[Thank you for your contribution]

4 years and it'll go on sale like Starbound

[Dodsmania]

No no no, just buy it already

[Fabio]

It could be on sale right now, if the people voted for it to receive a steam award... People just think about themselves nowadays.

I recommend that you wait for christmas, maybe Gabe can make it happen.

[Darren]

The maker of this game seems to have decided not to put it on sale anytime soon. The only way it'd go on sale is if he changes his mind, which is doubtful. Maybe after it's been fully released for awhile. Or maybe it'll never go on sale.

[Dodsmania]

I voted

On very exceptional occasions, Valve can give up a part of its cut to make a sale possible (during holidays, especially on community picks).

Do you have a source for that?

I believe it was during the "The Gabe said so sale" for Smite. I lost track of the very source which was in the official forums, since it was way back this year. Hi-rez was not going to make a sale during the summer, but valve made it happen.

Don't take my word for it, I have no idea where the source is now. This is simply what I read back then, I just can't prove it, which is a shame.

the game is 30 bucks! and is worth every penny.

Yeah, there's plenty of other similar cases where Valve override whatever the dev wishes and throws a game into a sale. I've seen numerous cases of devs saying up front that they have no input on when their game goes on sale at steam.

It basically operates based on popularity. The more popular the game is, the less likely the sale and the smaller it is. An opposite trend of this is ArmA 2 being dirt cheap until the DayZ mod and then actually being bumped up in price.

Based on this article, Rimworld as a popular indie game is won’t make it this Christmas - as a rough estimate. http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/23347/20161205/steam-holiday-sale-2016-leaks-deals-discounts.htm

wow... it's almost like capitalizism?

You know... there are tons of free games.... but they are worth what you pay for them. In some strange world it makes sense to hold out on what you want to save $5 but that isn't this one. In this world we are all just wasting oxygen so that we can consume and give our mindlessly reproductive kin a reason to produce... civilization really is quite nonsensical and circular... in this world... that $5 you want to save with the sale is just $5 that your even lazier children won't inherit.

Free games aren't even worth that. I regularly read the VAC forums because it's cheap entertainment; do you know how many of those free games result in people getting bored enough to download Cheat Engine, which they then forget to turn off and it gets them banned from CSGO?

Free games: not even once.

Also most of this post is sarcasm, but the quoted post is good.
