I couldn’t find when this started, some folks speculated the 22nd but that’s a holiday, and so I just looked and sure enough, seems like it started at noon today (about an hour ago).
Yeah, I noticed that while going through my wishlist. Well, it’s only been an hour, probably not worth trying to actually buy anything until tonight when things settle.
This might be the first year I don’t buy anything. I know someone was looking at Civ VI. Can’t say I recommend it but the bundle is a pretty good price.
I wonder if half of the sale is null and void in Australia due to the change from USD to our local currency, haha. Last I checked, before the sale went live, at least a hundred or more games on Steam (some major ones at that) were currently not purchasable.
Also don’t forget GMG and Humble Store have sales going on with respective vouchers / humble monthly 10% discount.
I saw Resident Evil 7 Gold edition is $25 over on GMG after the voucher.
What I usually do is add the games I want to my Steam cart then , double check prices at other stores.
General Rule of Thumb for big sales like this, don’t buy more than 10 games, you won’t get around to playing them all before they are back on sale again. :P
One very odd omission from this sale is House of the Dying Sun. It has been a part of every Steam sale and yet somehow is not included in this one. I have always hesitated to purchase it because the main story takes only about 3 hours but decided to buy it before my condition worsens and I can not play it at all. Of course, it is not for sale for some reason. Bugger me.
Oh snap! I had the “grid based dungeon crawling bundle” in my cart this morning, and it just dropped to half price. SOLD. I’ve been wanting to check out both Vaporum, and Starcrawlers. Thanks for posting about the sale.
