For the first time in years, actually looking forward to the Winter Sale. Dec 22 - Jan 5

https://www.pcinvasion.com/steam-winter-sale-2022-begins-next-week/

A few games on my wishlist:

Midnight Suns
Spider Man
Captains of Industry
Empires of the Undergrowth

Among others
Johannes "Honus" Wagner
"The Flying Dutchman"
Shortstop: Pittsburgh Pirates 1900-1917
Rated as the 2nd most valuable player of all time by Bill James.

I wouldn't expect too big a discount on the first two.... probably not more than 20% on Midnight Suns, and maybe around 35% on Spider-Man, but maybe they'll surprise us.  <:-)

I would actually be surprised if any discount on Midnight, just released in early December....depending on which spider man, one just released in November so I wouldn't expect that much off either....otherwise people who just bought would be in an uprising:)

Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but I mock the Steam sales.  Until they return to the old 50% - 75% discount and stop insulting me with their piddly 10% discounts I spit in their faces. 

I'm sorry if I sound negative but money is tight these days and I want to enjoy something in this world so give us a break Steam and give us monster discounts.

This. I never buy from Steam anymore. You can always find bigger discounts elsewhere.

I was not aware of the poor state of Steam sales....

I was used to the discounts mentioned so minimum 25% or more.

Where else can I look to if it's not Steam?

I was hoping to pick up some discounted Slitherine titles in the sales.

Yep, miss the days of the flash sales they used to have. Coincidentally they stopped having them around the same time they started offering refunds.

Epic Coupon: 25% off when you spend $14.99 or more on New Release of Discounted Games

Most of the games I want to buy are newer so the discounts will be pretty smaller or not discounted at all. Plus I did buy a few games during the Thanksgiving sale which decreased my wish list slightly. Why is it that I have more games wish listed that are in development then completed titles  :uglystupid2: Really silly.

I'm in more or less the same boat as you.  About 60% of my wishlist is games in development.  With the exception of that new WW1 game coming out next year I'm so tempted to delete the other games from my wishlist that are still in development.  I know it helps the game developers by whishlisting but as the consumer it depresses me everytime I log into Steam only to see games I want with no hope of a release date.  IOW my initial interest is fading on a promised game that looked good but who cares now because it's never going to be released anyway. 

It's like, the girl of your dreams that you've been chasing for ages keeps promising we'll go out on a date SoonTM next week I promise.  She keeps saying this over and over again every week.  Eventually that genuine wholesome love interest you had in her turns into FU and SMD then get the hell out of my life I'm done with you.
