Maybe he means in the subject line - I do find that I have to open an e-mail to see what game it is. I can’t see it from the subject line or the little Gmail notification preview thing.
Yep. That annoys me. I wish the subject line told me: “Civ IV is on sale!”, rather than a generic “An item is on sale!” subject.

So, buried under refutations and confronted with the evidence of my own inbox, I recant. I have many times had the experience of frustration that I had to click through the email to find out what was on sale and associated that with Steam wishlist notifications, which is clearly wrong (unless I’ve stepped into another branch of the multiverse) but I can’t for the lift of me figure out what it was.
Regardless, I was wrong. Steam emails are appropriate and very informative. The Epic store continues to be mostly pretty, but non-functional, except that it gives me lots of pretty good free games (that I have to dig through the client to find and “purchase” one at a time, because there’s no cart.)

Thanks for the update! It’s stupid, but stuff like this gets stuck in my crow’s brain and I sit there and peck at it trying to figure out the answer to even the most trivial of questions. :)
We’re on the internet, sir. No one admits wrongness here.

Probably the Steam app notifications. Those just say ‘a game from your wishlist is on sale’

Ah yes! That is very likely. Thanks! That helps relieve my brain itch.
I guess I’m the weird one who actually doesn’t like receiving e-mails when stuff on my wishlist is on sale because I have a decent size wishlist and there is almost always something on sale. I suppose there is probably a way to turn that off though.

Epic’s going to publish the next game from Remedy, Playdead and Fumito Ueda.
Very cool initiative. Publishing Ueda’s next game is a real surprise! All three are incredibly talented developers and deserve all the success in the world.
If you are gonna do exclusives (store or platform related), this is the way to do it. Kudos to Sweeney for offering such good deal to these devs, I imagine many independent studios will want to contact him.
Spring Sale is on and holiday coupons expire May 1st. Thinking Journey to the Savage Planet for 7.99 with coupon.
Nice. I was hoping they would have one more sale before the coupon expired.
Current free games are:
Totally Reliable Delivery Service
Drawful 2
Gone Home
HOB
Drawful 2 is free as well.
Yeah I just noticed that carry over apparently! 
Oh wow, Gone Home, I hear that has a devil worshiping murderous goblin ghost thing.
I like how the Epic Store says “owned” next to games you own. Like jeah, bitch, 0wned.
You played Unreal Tournament, right?!
I got into 2003 for a good bit, I remember the announcer saying similar things!
I think Totally Reliable Delivery Service is temporarily free for a week, since it just launched a day or two ago. Just thought I’d warn you in case you wondered where your game went next week.
Don’t sleep on HOB. I really really liked it. Shame the studio shut down right after releasing it. : (
