Steam Sales Suck

[mudplayerx]

The last couple of years the Steam sales have really sucked. Nobody wants games from 2016 or modern games that are only 10% off. Really pathetic.

10% off? Which games?

And the game devs/pubs set the prices and discounts.

Why would a developer put their game on a huge discount if people are willing to buy it with a small one?

I saw someone complaining that a game that hasn't even been released yet wasn't on discount the other day.

If nobody wants games from 2016 then why do they sell like crazy during the sales? lol Sounds more like you do not want games from 2016. Actually nobody seems to want games from now filled with nonsense and agenda's plus most of them are just dry.

Please don't speak for other people, you have no right to do that.

Do they really? Or do you already have almost every game that you ever wanted? I see posts like this every year. The discovery list could recommend you pretty good games!

I want games from 2016. Sale was fine, did some nice purchases.

"nobody" turns out to be fairly large numbers. Personally I'm always entertained by user assumptions that developers/publishers don't understand math enough to know whether they're making money or not. If discounting everything to $5 really made the most money, then that's what would happen.

But if you can sell 5 units at $5, 4 units at $10 or 3 units at $20... well... fewer units at higher prices gets pretty obvious.

I haven't seen a single sale where someone didn't complain it was crap. And that goes back to almost the very first Steam Sale.

You expect a recent release to be deeply discounted? That has never happened unless the game had really bad numbers.

[Seraphita]

Yeah. Every. Single. Sales. There are threads with people complaining. Always.

You said it tiger! I want games even from 1984 to 2016 LOL. I love the history of it all and to experience what legacy devs made and without clouting them with nonsense like they do today

The winter sale was lackluster for sure, but people do want older games. One of the best games I've played this year is Assassins Creed Unity, which came out in 2014.

I don't doubt that there are a lot of older cats like myself who for whatever reason missed out on some great games back when they originally came out and are thrilled to be discovering them now.

Only the card aspect sucked tbh.
