Well, that sucks the air right out of my anticipation balloon. The flash-sales are by far the big draw for me. Everything else goes on sale constantly anyway. I'm looking for those "4 hours to get FarCry 4 at 75% off!" deals...   :tickedoff:

Keeping track of the best sales is going to be a real PITA.  I suggest you all sow your oats before the sale hits.

No doubt they'll come up with something else. After all, Flash deals didn't exist in Steam sales up until a couple of years ago.

I have no bread related puns because I'm kinda drunk. So...yeah.

The lack of flash sales shouldn't be a problem to those of us who are sufficiently well-bread to pay our way.

That status is, of course, strictly reserved for the upper crust of Grogheads society.

I picked up Pillars of Eternity, I just hope it's as good as they say because that'll be it for me for this sale.

Remember, based on what we know, the sale prices are very likely to remain static for the duration of the sale, so if you see something you like at a price you like, don't bother waiting!

Argh.  Of course this sale comes during the part of the month when I'm broke.  And of course 4 out of the 6 games on my wishlist are deeply discounted.  I'm just gonna go sit in a corner and quietly rock back and forth now... 


Incidentally, Steam is currently doing a 24-hour flash sale for Distant Worlds: Universe if anyone's interested.  It's about as cheap as the game ever gets.

Whilst you're rocking back and forth think DEEPLY about those games.   Are you REALLY, actually going to play them?  I mean,  really?  And what about all those  casualties from the last Steam sale - are they not deserving of some attention first?  Hold fast, brother.

Anyway, it'll be the Christmas sale soon enough.

I have been eyeing Conqest of Elysim 4  -- Beyond Earth Rising Tide --  SOW - Waterloo --  Buzz Aldrin's Space Program

But so far I have resisted.... may pick up another thing or two.
