Thanksgiving sale = less discount than normal.

[SmudgyRotter]

Is it just me seeing this?

Edit: 1 more question: Should I wait for Christmas sale? Will it get deeper discount?

[Out Of Bubblegum]

No idea. Maybe because people are buying anyway they have less reason to discount?

Depends on the game.

What even is "normal"

So should I wait for Christmas Sale?

Yea so for example, I remember game Outward. It's last sale in Halloween or summer, I can't remember which, it got much deeper discount, like it went down to like 10-15 bucks or so, I kinda did not buy, I thought were no rush. Now it is like only 50%....like what the hell!!??

Kinda like other post said, depends on game, but I wonder if Christmas sale got deeper discount?

I think it really depends on the game. The more popular games don't tend to have good discounts, because they don't have the incentive to do so (whats the point if they know people will buy the games regardless). The older, less popular games tend to result in the 80% and such deals.

At least thats judging from my wishlist.

Dunno, I would get 4 games out of it, if my PC could handle them.

Publishers are under no obligation to deliver the same or better deals than what they've given before. Some only treat the autumn sale as a taste and save larger discounts until winter.

If you want to potentially save 66% rather than 50%, definitely wait until the winter sale. There's no guarantee that it will or will not have a deeper discount though.

Fine then, I'll just wait for winter sale. I probably just grab 1 or 2 titles with nice discounts.

The Autumn event is when Square-Enix likes to take a break and do their own publisher sale beforehand.

Some game devs do, others don't.

I've always found that if I wait for "deeper discounts" they never happen.. it depends on the game, how much I want it, and how much it's on sale for more then 50% off... some games do have better sales... some never do.. depends on the Developers/Publisher.

I believe I've only purchased two of the games I have online ( on Steam ) at full price...

To answer your first question, no it's not just you. I've noticed myself personally, the discounts on most sales have decreased incrementally over the past several years. And second, yes you may want to wait until the Winter Sale - the best deals are usually provided in the Summer and Winter sales, although as I've said they've become less great over the past several years.

It's probably America's spiraling economy made worse due to the pandemic, we're all feeling it.
