Is It Worth Waiting for the Winter Sale to Buy Multiple Games? ❄️🎮💸

[NoobMaster]

Hey everyone 👋

I'm currently eyeing a handful of games that have been on my wishlist for a while 🎯. Some of them are on light discounts right now during the current sale, but nothing major 🧐. I'm wondering if it’s worth holding off and waiting for the Winter Sale instead (assuming it starts around mid-December like usual) ❄️🛍️.

My questions for you all:

🧊 In your experience, do the Winter Sale discounts tend to be significantly better?
📦 Do bundles or publisher packs usually come back with deeper discounts during that time?
🤔 Have you ever regretted waiting (or not waiting) for a bigger sale?

Basically trying to decide between getting a few titles now vs holding off and grabbing everything in one go during the Winter Sale 🎁. Appreciate any advice or shared experiences! 🙏

Thanks!

Steam Summer sales starts end of June i believe, you could always pick something up then.

But games can go on deeper discounts at anytime.

It's possible that the big Steam sales get a good discount on some games, I wouldn't expect that in general: they are too long and too famous.

Of course, keep in mind that "games" is a very general term. There are tons of them, and lots of publishers. In other words, it's not like every game is treated the same...

You could take a look at isthereanydeal to see how some of the games you're interested in have historically performed.
