Actually sadly this ish the trend nowadays especially for those "big" name game so to milk more moola from their fansees. Unlike in the past that PC version tend to cost less but with more ontents, nowadays the PC version are closer and closer to console price liao yet content are also being streamlined and downsize to console-like too. So end up PC gamers are actually paying more than they do in the past yet for less contents. Worst still now with internet and micro-transaction they also start to believe in releasing unfinished game at full price and then sell you the fix\remaining contents as separate DLC later at extra cost. :(

That why moi nowadays also seldom hoot any "big" name games at release anymore. Rather wait 2~3 yrs then hoot together with all the DLC at discount. :(
The only big games I hoot are those multiplayer, because bo bian need to pay for their server support.

The rest can wait still sale or climb

AAA titles usually will be spammed with DLC so best wait a year after release to buy like Skyrim.

Side tracked a bit, Gog also got sales though the pricing not as good as steam (Eg Witcher 3 50% off but still at USD 30) but no DRM can pray on any PC you want and can pray offline so still can consider if the title only cost a bit more compare to steam.

Just saw AD&D Stronghold Kingdom Simulator there, last time moi poly time pray this game non-stop almost every day. So going to hoot as soon as moi reach home. :(

yesh, will have..


Steam’s Autumn sale will reportedly run from November 25th at 10am PT and will end on December 1st at 10am PT. The Winter / Holiday sale will reportedly run from December 22nd at 10am PT and end on January 4th at 10am PT.

The report comes from the Steamworks developer group, which was picked up on Reddit, where a message was posted discussing the upcoming sales events. According to the message, it appears Flash and Daily Sales will not be returning to these two particular sales.

“In past sale events, we’ve asked for two discounts—a duration discount that runs for the length of the sale, and a feature discount that runs in the event that a game is featured on the front page,” the statement reads. “This year, to optimize the sale for customers and to allow us to feature and recommend your products in more ways to more customers, we’re asking for just one discount, to run the length of the sale.”

Top games will still be highlighted on Steam’s front page for 24 - 48 hour spans, but those that are highlighted will stay at their most competitive discount, before and after its featured.

Both Flash and Daily Sales kept us checking out the front page of Steam on a daily basis to see what kind of deal we can suddenly take advantage of, although this route certainly helps ensure Steam users get the biggest discount possible from the get go. While we'll miss Flash and Daily Sales, at least we know we won't be missing anything if we skip a day or two from checking Steam's frontpage.

This means that whatever discount is given will be final right?
No more voting to choose which game to get more discount? :(

voting highly doubt so, judging from steam frontpage now...
it's very likely that they have implemented the 1 sale throughout the promotion period policy. even if there is a "flash", the increment in % of discount will also be little. Like what the article stated.

meaning what you see is what you get..
