I'm not your friend, guy. I couldn't care less about your hurt feelings. ...angry stuff...The fact that one post makes you so uncomfortable that you have to whine about it, tells me a great many things about you....angry stuff...slagging people off?
My issue is that during flash sales I could pick up actually good games that I wanted often under €5 but certainly under €10. Now any game that I'd actually want still costs €20 or more including the DLCs for Skyrim, a 5 year old game. And this during the "big summer sale" Or another game I often purchased DLCs for always had 75-80% off during sales. Now they never go beyond 50%. So instead of €8 they now never go bellow €15. So I just stopped buying them, as I stopped buying anything on Steam. Because there are no good deals left.
If you think there is no pattern here and the deals aren't much worse than they used to be, then you're looking at it with your eyes closed.
And don't tell me that it's only games I want, everything else is cheap. Because it was the same thing during the last holiday sale. There was not a single good enough offer to make me spend money. When during earlier sales I regularly purchased half a dozen or more games. You know in that consumer hostile time of flash and daily deals. It's not about the % that says how much discount they're offering. It's the fact that €30 for getting both DLCs for a 5 year old games is ridiculous.

It's my understanding that publishers set the prices on Steam. Regardless, Skyrim Legendary Edition (i'm not sure which of the many versions you're looking at) was 9.99 on 11/25 and for several days from 12/23 to 1/2 (maybe the 3rd).
Again, just because it's not on the front page, doesn't mean it's not on sale. There's nothing on the page about Pinball Arcade (which simulates real pinball tables), but the 3 season pro pack was 10 bucks last I checked (far and away the cheapest I've seen).
Just go to is there any deal and look there at prices to find deals. Sometimes they're not on steam (but most of the time they're still steam codes), but they often are.
I think a key point is you said that there were no good deals last Xmas, and the game you used as an example, Skyrim, was on sale for 10 bucks for over a week during that sale. The deals are still there. Now if you want to complain that they didn't make it clear to you that it was on sale, I concur, but that's not new.When it comes to sales they're cagey on who actually sets the discount. But from what I could gather from talking to some developers they can't go around changing prices arbitrarily. That means steam at least has a big influence. In one particular case some content's price was bumped up for one region, and the devs didn't know anything about it, they had to contact steam to set the price straight, as they didn't intend to raise it.
Of course I looked trough the list of top deals, and under $10 games, I've seen a few decent deals, but only on games that were already discounted dozens of times, so if someone wanted them they could've gotten them already, like Mass Effect. Maybe some were even free on origin but I can't be sure since I got them retail ages ago.
I too would like to pick up DQ:H -- I have heard that it's pretty good but nowhere near worth the retail price.Just picked up Volume, Tales of Symphonia, Audiosurf 2 and Ryse: Son of Rome. All for whopping total of 22 bucks.
Yep, Steam sale working just fine for me. Probably going to pick up Tales of Zestira while its 20 bucks, The only other game I'm really hoping to see go on sale are Dragon Quest Heroes.
A friend told me Euro Truck Simulator 2 (which is on sale today) is really good. For those who have it, which option do you think I should get, just the bare game or one of the expansion pack packages they offer? FWIW, I've never played a truck simulator game. TIA.
I don't know which paint job packs you want, but all you need are the Scandinavian, Going East, and High Power Cargo. Then there are cosmetics starting from the top of the DLC to 6th DLC called Wheel Tuning Pack that are neat.
This might be the best deal for you, as it has all the areas, but missing the High Power Cargo which adds variety to the loads you can take. Of course you can add that DLC to it.
Save 70% on Euro Truck Simulator 2 - East + North Expansions on Steam
I haven't played in awhile so I grabbed the Mighty Griffin and a few more that I was missing. Thx!

It does seem like, if you know what you are looking for, any discount is a good deal.Man I don't know about you guys, but I've got a whole slew of games on my wishlist that have fairly big sales - GTAV, The Witcher 3, Just Cause 3, RoTR, Total War, Doom, Fallout 4... It's a shame I have so little time these days...
the thing is that now with all these price comparison websites its like there is steam sales all the year i personally check the prices for a game from [...] and just getting the cheapest one... bored of checking steam all the time and beging for lower prices...
