Which sale are you talking about. There are like three going on right now.

What sale? Steam just can't put on any game they want on sale - products including prices are dictated entirely by the publisher/developer. Also in the sale events that are created, not every one needs to be bloated with AAA games.

Ah yes, the same old complain about an issue that isn't the point of the thing they're complaining about.


There's no horse-made games on here either. Not all promotions encompass EVERYTHING. Only two sales per year do close to that. This is CLEARLY lablled as what it is.

I think its a little silly. Honestly. But I never turn up the chance to get a good deal on interesting games.

Don't care what the sex of the lead of the studio is anymore than I care what the lead artist had for lunch on Saturday.. As long as it's good and by the law of statistics. the majority of craptacular games out there now and historically have been made by guys, in studios run by guys.

And that's the other point.
Not every good game is a AAA.

Someone didn't get the memo that not every Steam sale has AAA games in it.

The people that buy them and then demand a refund after 40-115 hours because of small online outrage usually from twitter or reddit where people claim they were given refunds despite playtime.

The never ending cycle of "should've looked before I leapt".
Indie/small devs seem better anyway:

More a fan of generalized seasonal sales of genre, even the demo events make sense.

When people start making sales/events for games based off of things like gender, orientation etc they're too political & separated from the goal; making good/enjoyable games. But like most users with common sense, I buy what I enjoy or otherwise vote with my wallet.

It is silly. There's starting to become too many days of (thing) / sales for (thing) globally. People/Companies need to stick to just "Sell product. Remain about product. Do not politicize".

Well, I kind of agree. In that I similarly will just take what's offered regardless and buy a good game regardless.

but I don't have any job with having a promotion for ANY reason, whether tenuous or even something like this which has some highlight.

Let’s see this sale…some really great games like Darkside Detective and Call of the Sea, some pretty average titles and some meh stuff. Nothing new.

So, basically like every other event sale we’ve had that features a lot of indie games. Poor OP, I can only assume they hated all those as well.

It's not even a real sale, just a small-time event, like there are a lot.

As an older gamer, i have to laugh at the constant complaints about sales. What do kids these days expect? Every game for free or 1 buck at the most, 2 months after release?
I'm still fascinated that companies are willing to sometimes put a 50% discount on their games after just 2-3 months on the market.

Back in the 90's, you were happy if a game dropped by 50% TWO YEARS after release. Console games practically never saw a price decline, unless they wer re-released in some budget form like Playstation Platinum (and even then: only 50% off, no matter how old the was)

Also since when does "AAA" mean quality? People learned nothing from worthless crap like Battlefield 2042, Cyberpunk or Last of Us it seems.
