Are the Steam sale prices fluctuating during this sale, or are they static?

I ask because I thought for sure I saw Wargame Red Dragon on sale for $10, but now it's $20.  Maybe it was $20 all along.  Same with Spin Tires. 

I'm not sure if it's like the Xmas sale where the prices change daily, or if everything is locked in.  Any help appreciated!

Yeah, I thought originally I saw red dragon listed for $9 until Dec. 1st so I held off to see what else came up, but now back to regular price.  Although not $9, you can get for $16 from GMG with the coupon code of B9J1L1-0AZCS9-S0IASV.  I am in no hurry so I will see what comes up at the xmas sales.

Tactics has some of my favorite in-game cinematics ever...and it was a pretty cool game at the time.  Curious to see how it weathers.

Boy has 4 hours into Goat Simulator and would have more if permitted.  Not to take it in any way seriously, but it does make the point that, at least at a certain age, there's something to be said for toys rather than games...

Best,

Thanks Grim.  Yeah, I was pretty sure I saw it in the $10 range, as well as Spin Tires.  When I saw them I added them to my cart but then got distracted before I checked out.  I didn't think I would impulse buy those games at $20 each...my impulse buy threshold is around $5-10.

Wargame Red Dragon was on one of their Daily Deals. 

I suspect that means they will offer it at the Daily Deal price again at the end of the sale..?  You just gotta be quick, Grasshoppa.

Age of Wonders III for $13.59  --  yea, or nay? 

(that is, for someone who is only lukewarm on this genre -- have Fallen Enchantress, and like the concept, but have only put in a few hours since I bought it a long time ago.  Have avoided Endless Legend, Eador, Warlock, etc. etc., just out of general lack of interest...)

^Definite YEA. Great game. Offers probably hundreds of hours of play and I've just scratched the surface. AI is solid too.

BTW Fallout:Tactics has dropped to 2.99 for those interested.

I grabbed Fallout: Tactics back a while on GOG but it's one of the games they had to drop from their lineup.

Yes, great price! But you'll still only put just a few hours into it. I suspect you are infected with Game Attention Deficit Disorder like the rest of us.  :P

AoW3 will drag you in and break the back of your gaming ADD, if you have it. It takes no prisoners. If you like fantasy even a little bit it's a great buy...the lore is really well done.

I'm going to say no.  If you're lukewarm to the genre, AoW3 certainly won't change your mind.

Im hoping we'll see Gus Simulator on kickstarter soon.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I picked up Papers Please! for $3 or so and it's been a blast.  Not only am I having fun with it but my 13 and 9 year old daughters have been playing it all day.  Money well spent.

Just got Space Hulk for £5, I didn't buy this before because it was £30 I think when it came out
