Oh lord, my wallet is not ready for this.

Remember kids. It's not a sale until the game is at least 50% off its regular price!

After 16 years of sales, my library is filled to the brim with almost everything that goes 75%+ off that I would want. It's like 3 games a year now that I don't already have finally hitting the impulse buy range for me. Outside of that, fanatical and humble bundles round out my let's buy a game id never otherwise buy and try

My initial thoughts are these sales are somehow getting even less exciting every time. It is clear that games should only be purchased on sale now as prices don't seem to drop otherwise.

I still find these exciting. I gifted my friend Portal 2 since she just got into gaming. Slay the Spire for like $2.50 is a steal.

Like a lot of you... I have many of these but its exciting for gamers that have to ration or haven't picked these up before and you never know what you may find.

Last sale I picked up Skyrim for $3. Never played and I had a blast!

Oooo! Cyberpunk 2077 and Civ VII are 53% off

Ace Combat 7 is less than $5, that's a real solid deal if you're new to AC and/or interested.

Just a heads up that you can browse and set filters on steamdb to see new historical lows for games(obviously based on steam pricing only).

Some notable historical lows are Silksong, KCD2, Arc Raiders, Hades II, Megabonk...

Hooray! I dont want anything :)

For about one hour after it started I could not buy the games I wanted LOL

Is it just me or are a lot of these discounts.. Not as good as previous years?

Anyone have any recommendations? I enjoy rpgs and strategy games. Anything that can be played with a controller is ideal.

I clicked on the link and it opened my steam app on the "enter payment details" page, because I added a load of shit to my basket earlier and aborted because I got a new bank card who's number I don't know by heart yet. Something about clicking a lemmy link about steam and it opening the credit card entry page just made me laugh a lot.

I've been touching a lot of grass recently and when I do game, it will be the same 3 games or so again so I'll pass this one and probably subsequent sales

What have y'all bought so far on this sale? I just got Detroit: Become Human for $4.

Honestly, the only one I'm really looking at is Ranch Sim because it's down to like 2.50, none of the other ones really look all that attractive, to be honest.

Kicking myself for buying Icarus when it was $20 because it's now 3.50

Ok, I’m excited for the steam sale though. I can’t wait to buy video games on discount

I need a rec. I got almost $13 just from selling Steam cards this past week. I got a few games in that price range or a smidge over that I really want to check out.

DotAge vs Heroes of Science and Fiction vs Stardeus vs Shapez 2.

They're all right up my ally. Anybody have any experience with any of these?

Tachyon: The Fringe for $2 and some change for the nostalgia. Doesn't quite hold up w/ a max resolution of 1024x768, but had a great time in circa 2000. Maybe I can beat it this time.

Lol there's so much traffic on steam from this sale that I'm getting an error (E502 L3)

Just got a Christmas gift card from work today! Thinking of spending some of it on Trials of Mana.
