#2017 steam sale update#
Steam celebrated its 20th birthday with a nostalgic green-themed update to its storefront and a trip down memory lane. The year 2023 marks the 20th year of Steam being launched back on September 12, 2003. In celebration, today we brought back the green, put together a little walk through memory lane, and have sticker gifts for all! Thank you again 💖 /xrC4TuWRmx I didn’t buy it then, so I’m not going to buy it now.Happy 20th birthday to us! 🎂 And thank you to all of you – Steam would be nothing without you. Today I got the sale email and there are just two titles from my whishlist currently on sale, one of which has been much more heavily discounted several times before. I have far more games already available, unplayed, than I will ever play, and more coming in every week and month, so why pay to add to the pile unless it’s something i am literally going to start playing the moment it finishes downloading?Īs for the sale itself, I swear I get more emails about titles on my wishlist being discounted outside of the sales than during it.

That happens rarely because there are way to many free options these days.

The thing is, even now, if there’s a game I *really* want to play I’ll buy it full price at the time I want to play it. At a certain point my bargain reflex kicks in and I feel I’d be making a mistake to pass an offer up but it has to be a really good offer for that. It seems that I need a discount well under 50% to make me buy something off my wishlist. I can’t spend the whole time doing Argent Tournament dailies. If nothing else, thanks to the US Independence Day holiday falling on Tuesday this year, I have a four day weekend coming up. It has to be the right game and I have to be in the right mood, the stars have to align, the moon must be full, and the price has to be right. Once in a while something new pops up… I was on the Valheim bandwagon on day one… but that is a pretty rare event. I tend to stick with the same old selections until I have worn them out. The problem is, will I even play a new title? Anybody having visited this blog more than a few times probably has the correct impression that I don’t play a lot of new titles.
(Where you have to buy all the DLC anyway.) And Forza Horizon 5 is 50% off for all editions… I think they have released all the DLC for it at this point… and I would rather have it on Steam than on the Microsoft GamePass subscription. Will I buy it for a mere $2.49? Darkest Dungeon, which I never quite got around to buying, is 70% off. I mean Ogre, which has been on my wishlist for a while, is 90% off. There are stickers to collect, points to earn, backgrounds to buy, and all of that sort of thing, which is covered in the announcement.īut it is the promise of a deal, a discount, the discovery of whether or not a break in the price is really the deciding factor on whether or not something moves from your wishlist into your inventory over the next two weeks. There are other aspects to the event, things besides the sale. (He said, even as preparing a six month update post on 2023.) And the summer sale always feels like the younger sibling of the winter sale, where we get year end numbers and the Steam Awards and all of that. I have opined in the past how the excitement of a mere sale has worn off over the years as it went from being a unique event to a standard routine.
