According to this article, Steam developers can now set their own discounts for custom sale periods.

Uh-oh..is this a good thing?
Aha! I knew Steam was setting the prices in the store all along! On the official steam community hundreds of users are spreading false information that the publisher decides on steam sale prices. Now it's revealed that Steam has been deciding the prices all along. I knew I was right!

I can't wait until someone from a big gaming company accidentally sets their price from 59.95 to 5.99, or screws up even more and sets it to 0.59 cents.
About time. Now if they can just unban all the falsely accused cheaters.
From the article:
"Prior to this, Steam and developers had to work together to create individual Steam sales."
Good job on reading the article first.
As much as I enjoy a good discount I do actually dislike taking advantage of a company who makes an honest mistake ... although there are a few companies who I wouldn't mind taking advantage of (cough cough **EA** cough cough) I generally prefer paying a realistic price for a game (doesn't mean I don't wait for a sale but I am not waiting for a clear mistake to occur either)
$5.99 is a fair price for just about anything EA puts out on the shelf and dares to call it a game worth owning lately.
I don't get steam, why should I sign up and buy a game and then beg them to let me play it?
Am I missing something?
Sure you might get a discount but it's still 3rd party.

WTF dudes? How many exclamation mark atoms do you need to detect traces of Sarcasium?

Uh yeah, I'd like to buy 10 copies of the game...
oh wait no, better name it 100copies

Buying multiple copies of games on Steam, unless it's a bundle, is a PITA. Like seriously, you have to repeat the process from step 1. You can't even just keep selecting the add to cart button because if it's already in your cart it takes you to your cart so you can check that game out.
Although if a game for $60 was set at $.60 by mistake, I would continue ordering it until they fixed the price mistake. I'd say $59.40 for ~3 minutes of my time is worth it.
