Steam Sales used to destroy my wallet because there were so many good deals on games I didn’t have. For the last few years though, I don’t know if the deals have been worse or if I just don’t need any more games.
Yeah currently there is very little reason to buy on sale. You aren’t missing out. No more flash deals, no special pricing. Nothing to miss out on.
Every single game has a regular price, and a sale price. The sale price is the price it will be on sale - every sale throughout the year. If it’s 10% for Halloween then it’s gonna be 10% for Summer, Autumn, New Years, for years to come.
Just put everything on the wishlist and buy whatever you are going to play right between now and next sale.

I miss the flash sales and daily deals. Buying at the right time was a game itself! Plus the 70-90% off sales were fire!
Those still happen tho?
Not that I’ve seen for several years. Looking it up, they stopped in 2015…

That makes me feel old.
I didn’t know about those, thought you meant random sales throughout the years up to 90%. Til
It was waaaay longer ago than I remembered. Time sure does catch up.

Can’t remember the last game I bought in a sale, the games I’m truly excited for I get on release anything else is mainly playing my back catalogue.
