Saying Valve ruined the sale is weird to me. Are the Daily Deals from today ruined, because there's a banner for Where Winds Meet on the front page right now?

You can also see on SteamDB, that the game got a (relatively) sizable increase in players, following the sale.

    I think it's mostly because these Devs were impacted by an actual mistake from valve recently, and then this happens during their apparent compensation for this.

    Tbf though I agree this article is mostly about clicks. They say the emails went out and they sold 5k copies, so it's not like the first time
