Steam sale IS NOT A REAL SALE.

Consumers have associated the experience as a sale, but the last few steam sales I have only found very very niche stuff actually on sale, everything else isn't really on sale it just has meaningless percents next to them.

Edit wow so I am really not in the majority here with my opinion haha, ok, maybe I am seeing this wrong? Honestly, the last couple steam sales I have compared the sales going on to previous sales <1 month previous or less away and the sales just didn't look that good from that perspective.

I am not saying games aren't going on sale in the Steam sale, I am arguing the sales are mediocre compared to random sales throughout the year, but again... I probably just have a warped vision of this because clearly people think otherwise.

    As in, there aren't discounts? I only ever look st my wishlist during steam sales and I see plenty of discounts and I dont see the msrp having been raised or anything

    Meh I don't typically see pricecuts that are that meaningful, on isthereanydeal the steam sales often just don't impress me in how they compare.

    I don't mean to rain on the parade, the deals aren't bad and I love steam so shrugs

    Meaningful to whom?

    I've gotten at least 50% off compared to the day I wishlist something on every game that I've waited on a sale for. I know this because I only buy wishlist stuff when it is at least 50% off
