I was under the impression that Rust wouldn't go on sale as long as it is early access. Either way, bought it. Those developer blogs have been enticing me for too long.
Finally bought the last dlc for skyrim.
And now I'm too burned out to play it...
I miss daily and flash sales.

Or maybe I just wish Vermintide was more than 10% off :v:
Witcher 3 is half off, nice.
I'm home for the weekend and won't have my good computer for a few weeks, not so nice.
I feel like these 'daily' deals aren't lower than it was before? Am I imagining things?

I guess it depends on the devs/publishers. Some games got better deals, some didn't. For example Terraria was [URL="http://i.imgur.com/G0TiA77.png"]76% this summer[/URL] (excuse shitty rubles), and now it's only 66% off [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/[/url]. Not much but still.
Of course many other games have better discounts, so overall it's not that bad without flash/dailies.

Uhm, wasn't GTAV the only game where that happened?

Not at all.

[QUOTE]The Autumn Steam sale is well underway now, and accusations of foul play are already being thrown at some game studios for allegedly raising prices immediately before the start of the sale. This keeps their games from actually being sold at lower prices while still ensuring that they receive the boost in attention from being advertised with the sale.
The increased prices were noticed by Steam analytics website Steam Spy, which tracks various user statistics on Steam such as game ownership, average playtime for individual games, the distribution of players by country, and so on.
Steam Spy called out several game developers on Twitter, saying, “A number of games increased their prices just before the Autumn Sale so they can offer a ‘discount’ during it. Again. Why is it allowed?”
...Earlier this month, for example, Valve received a slap on the wrist from the Advertising Standards Authority in the U.K. for listing Grand Theft Auto V in the Steam Summer sale when the game itself was not technically on sale.[/QUOTE]
Not really
Raising prices just to be able to show a bigger % off is shady, but I don't see how it's a big deal.
Maybe it's just because I just look at the sale price and could care less about the percentage value.
