I've expected Steam to have recovered by now.

You'd think that after so many years in business and so many billions (or is it trillions by now) of bucks, they'd have learned by now to prepare for it.

Hard to even SEARCH the store at the moment.

Awesome.

I'd pay full price for that.  :P

Kind of curious what games people have their eyes on, might give me some ideas. I put myself on a $50 limit......gonna demonstrate some self discipline. :peace:

I'm hopeful the Crusade expansion for Galactic Civ 3 will be on sale....and Planescape Torment: Enhanced Edition.  Among others!

Disappointing first look.....Crusade expansion not on sale and Planescape Torment: EE is only 15% off (was hoping for 50%)

A few of my wishlist items are newly under $5, though there's so many I'd like to get...sigh.

I'm thinking of Warhammering-up.
Getting the expansions for Total Warhammer and Mordheim I don't already have.

EDIT: The more I browse the more I feel how underwhelming this whole "monstrous summer sale" is.
Half my wishlist isn't even on sale at all (and I've got a pretty big wishlist), those that are are mostly repeat sales (more or less same percentage off),
and sometimes even less.

Great game and a steal at that price
Insert witty comment here.

I can't find, "Old Retired Bastard Simulator 2017" anywhere. Oh, wait. That's my life now. Sorry for the confusion.

> Peruse my wishlist.

> Struggle with lag.
> Drat, Life is Feudal: Forest Village isn't for sale.
> Add it to cart anyway, because nieces.
> Find Banished to delete it, because LiFFV is basically the same game with some upgrades.
> Run across Farming Simulator 2017. 33% sale, not bad for relatively new game.
> Add it to cart, because nieces.
> Cart no longer has LiFFV.
> Try to rectify this oddity.
> "We're sorry experiencing heavy lolag"
> Give up trying to do anything early in Steam sale.
> Hope LiFFV shows up on sale later.
