Steam Sale candidate?
The Steam Autumn Sale is coming up in about a week if I'm not mistaken. Any chance this game will be on sale? Or is it too soon after release?

I'm a cheapskate, so I'm willing to wait a week for a discount, even if it is only 10%.

this early it's not happening, but there are discount sites that are carrying the game, 10% discount or more at release.

edit: just one of them (not GMG which is a horrible service imo), and it's 25% off. Only downside is that you cant get a refund before 2h, so better be sure of your purchase.

Idk about the autumn sale but it's practically guaranteed to go on sale for Christmas.

I really doubt that the game will be on sale. Wait for next year.
if they were desperate, maybe -10%. but I really doubt.
edit: but hey if you are willing to wait, just wait 2 weeks or 1 month, maybe you are lucky!

I would say this was 'never' worth that much. not 'no longer'.

Especially when you add in the factors that no one really knows where the development time and funds of this game actually went, because with the AI having 400 lines of code or so, mods on day 1 being better than years of development, the reports of this game crashing all the time, menus not saving settings, launcher not worker.

How was Paradox not aware of this? especially with the leak 6 months prior to release? not much has changed since then really =(

I'm not going to say "this is the worst game ever". it absolutely isn't, there was at least an honest attempt here to code a game which works the way they said it works, and the assets at least look like they're suitable for a victorian era game. There's no malicious code/background jiggery going on with DRM, miners, or anything.

but I'd say this is game is 50% off, at best. £20.

CK3 should go below 50% of its sum price

best advice i can give is just wait until next year's sale. im sure the game will be more playable by then.

I would only buy with at least 50% discount, even then with a grouchy face probably...

Second this. I like GoG and Fanatical and a couple others.

I second the horrible service of GMG and also recommend avoiding them like the plague. Issues with their site led to an accidental purchase. They send the Steam codes in the clear too so that whether you've ever even downloaded the game or even attempted to use a code matters not. Their attitude is that you have a code now so it's yours whether it works or not. This happened to me and they steadfastly refused to give me a refund despite claiming on their site such policy to do so. I ended up having to escalate it to Paypal which thankfully I'd used for the purchase. They took one look and granted my refund, lol. GMG is bad news. :steammocking::steamsalty:
