No steam sale??

[Bio[redacted]]

I've been holding out for months for the steam summer to be able to have the funds to purchase this expecting a sale but was dissapointed. I checked the steam sales tracker and apparently its never been on sale. Like ever. What gives? Its been over 6 months now and there hasn't even been an introductory offer.
I could understand it for games under 25$ but anything under that I cannot justify for purchase with my current economic situation.

You know we live in an age where someone could never spend one cent on media like games, TV, movies, and they could get by fine with everything thats free out there.

If you've been holding out or saving for months and you still can't afford $40 then paying $20 instead is still going to hurt you.

I don't know if you looked outside chief, but not everywhere is the flourishing utopia you think it is.

Never said it was a flourishing utopia. What I said was if over the course of months you can't save up $40 to spend on a video game, then its not going to matter if the price was $20... its still going to hurt you financially if you're in that bad of a situation.

Yes that situation sucks and i've been in MUCH WORSE then that in my life. You know where you can't have a gaming PC where you live? When you live in a car and have no electricity.

Its great to see someone putting financial responsibility over video gaming.

It's definitely worth the $40 if you're only trying to pay less for it during a sale. If you *need* it to be less than $40, then I'm not sure when it will be on sale. Hopefully soon, though.

Sales are marketing tools. If they are happy with sales figures then they have no fiscal reason to put the game on sale. It's unfortunate for consumers who want to pick the game up at a discount, but there isn't much that can be done about it.

If the game had 30% sale, not only it would bring free marketing but also generate more profit than a game just sitting there losing players and general interest.

I've also heard (and found) that Helldivers 2 is a good bit less than other AAA games recently. For instance, Jedi: Survivor is $70. That doesn't make Helldivers 2 any less expensive, but the $40 it does cost is comparatively a lot less for an equally (very) entertaining game.
