This steam sale is a joke! and should be removed!
As Title explains, This sale is a joke, a scam, a waste of time, and not worth it!
You steam expects me to spend even 1 dollar they have to do better then this Joke of a sale!
Most of these games I got for free on Epic, and here steam is wanting to spend 10+ bucks on a game that no one liked! I mean not just one game I'm talking about, I mean most of the trash games they have on sale. You expect me to pay money for a game Epic gives out for free is a joke! Steam you need to stop being so greedy, I mean I know gabe newell needs his KFC, but I'm not spending money on a game I could get for free.
55 bucks for Diablo 4 that is just so bad everyone after 1 month dropped it because it is a bad developed game.
55 bucks for Rogue Trader, that becomes bugged in Act 3
72 bucks for COD 3, which is just nothing more then fortnight with better graphics, also Fortnight is free!
45 bucks for cyberpunk, a game that is usually 30 bucks on most CD key websites.

This is just insulting to customers, and gamers worldwide!

Then just stick to EGS? No one is forcing you to buy from Steam if not happy.

Steam doesn't even set the prices, the game publishers/developers do. Sales are voluntary.

Oh look, a thread complaining about a sale. You do realize that the publishers and developers set the prices? Not Valve.

Fortnite is free because people spend thousands of dollars on the in-game items and DLC.

EDIT
Also don't know what you're seeing about Cyberpunk, because it is $30 USD right now on the Steam store.

Those other key sites selling it for $30? That's not a Steam key either.


Epic giving those games out for free? Those aren't free. They may be free to you, but Epic has to pay developers to put those games on the Epic store, for free.

Epic hemorrhages money, year after year. Valve doesn't have to do that because they don't need to. Epic has been trying to play catch up for years and they won't be able to do it. Why? Because they keep throwing money out the window thinking they're going to beat Valve.

Hey look, jester farming via "steam vs epic" nonsense.

Found some neat deals in my wishlist, loaded up the cart and ready to buy.

You can just use multiple stores, you know, as in both steam and egs with perhaps even a tad of gog, if you're daring. It's not a crime!!

Were you forced to part with money? If not, then it's not a scam. The truth of it is you don't like the games or the discounts. That's fine. You are free to take your "business" wherever you want.

And yes, I say "business" with contempt, because if all you're doing is claiming free games, then you're not a customer, you're a leech.

Tell that to Activision. They haven't got the memo in over a decade.

Quite funny that some of their older games became more expensive instead of cheaper :WH3_greasus_rofl:

People love to ♥♥♥♥ on EA but at least BF games are a lot more affordable.

It's been a running joke around here for years about Activision.

They gotta keep their userbase playing the last game in the series. Otherwise people would still be playing MW2.

EA finally added bots back to BF2042, which made me go back to the franchise since Battlefield 2.

I have played exactly four games on Epic (own well over 100 at this point), and have bought exactly ONE. The games I've played are:

1. GTAV: owned it on console and refused to purchase it again on PC, but got it for free on EGS.
2. Unreal Tournament Alpha: They removed it as they have no interest in making any actual good games anymore.
3. Fortnite: My daughters play and I played it with them a few times (it sucks though).
4. Hitman: I actually own Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 (the new one) on Steam, but the new Hitman 3 was my one EGS purchase.
