The biggest culprit of this in the last 10 years, for me, was N+. It drives me up the wall. You had complete levels in 5 level bunches. So if you died on the 5th level, you had do the first four levels again just to get back to the part where you died. I was so mad, I’m probably never going to buy N++. Probably.
To bring it back on topic, it’s not even on my wishlist, so I have no idea if it is part of this Steam sale or not.
