According to this post the 2025 Steam Summer Sale is starting tomorrow.

Are you ready?

Sites I like to check before i spend money:
  • https://isthereanydeal.com - Shows if a game is currently cheaper on another storefront. Also tracks price history and all time low prices.
  • https://steamdb.info/sales/ - A good way to find highly discounted games on Steam. Has adjustable filters and allows sorting by discount percentage, price and user rating.
 
I pretty much only buy stuff from my wishlist when something is over half off, which hasn't happened in a long time.

i would like to throw in https://gg.deals/ as well, has a shit ton of legit stores and key stores, if the steam summer sale prices arent good enough, or if you dont want to support steam.
 
Steam sales, or how new credit card owners can build credit quickly with one simple trick.
 
I'll be buying Cataclismo (the covid game), Chaos Galaxy II (Three Kingdoms IN SPAAAAAAACE, by a Chinaman), and Gustav (Worst Korean)'s new platformer thing (just because I love the character pixel art in Void Memory). Even if they aren't on sale (not waiting for the next one), but only these three things.

All other games I maybe want aren't yet released (not even demos), and when they are, they'll probably suck.
 
The best part of these sales for the last couple years has been that video in the OP reminding me of when games used to be good. So far this year we've had Deltarune and Clair Obscur and everything else being something I won't remember in 3 months.

Anyway I have no idea. Any good bullethells or roguelikes that are also bullethells recently? Deltarune doesn't count; Hades clones suck on principle.

E: Forgot about Cataclismo, but that was good too.

It was the loss of the flash sales and those mini games that gave more then just shitty profile stickers and emoticons.

Flash sales were such an awful idea. There was no point in buying sht till the last minute of the sale since flash sales could get it cheaper for you, just price games as the bare minimum you're willing to sell them for. That's not the mention the years they let people vote for the next flash sale. They would just vote for the highest % discount. I remember this cause they voted 80% off of VVVVV instead of the normal sale price of 60% off (So it was 1 dollar instead of 2 dollars) instead of another game which would've made it 10-15 dollars cheaper. This was even worse cause VVVVV is such a fucking niche game that I doubt very many voting it would like.

They where definitely a shitty anti consumer practice but it's hard to deny them making the sales more exciting. I remember checking the store constantly every day a sale happened now I maybe browse the store once and just look if any of my wishlist stuff is a good price.
I'll admit it's almost certainly the fact I've seen quarterly sales for almost 2 decades at point but seeing people make a Hubbub about steam Sales just seems quaint especially with all the sale prices tracking site now available. You can never dislike cheaper games but people acting like it's still this crazy thing everytime kinda feels a bit forced. There's also the fact I'm at the point if I really want a game for cheaper I'm perfectly content just waiting the 4 months for the next sale while I'm sure many aren't.
 
Buying shit on Steam in Poland nowadays is worthless as the fat cunt updated the regional prices when the USD-PLN exchange rate was at it's worst.

It went from $0.99-3,59zł to $0.99-4,49zł.

The current exchange rate? $0.99-3.59zł. The same as Steam's old regional pricing. That's how fucking bad it is, and despite people saying that it's been a problem for years, Valve doesn't give a shit. As if the weak sales nowadays weren't bad enough.

Fuck Gabe, fuck Valve, I'm going back to pirating my shit since there is no value in buying shit on Steam anymore.
