So, I have 31 games on my wishlist, some are old releases, some new (and I don't expect huge discounts on them), but...they ALWAYS put the same games into daily deals!

Some game are bth on flash sales and daily deals, and you can find always the same games discounted!

Don't Starve, Skyrim, Hotline Miami, Gone Home.... I want a 75% discount on Rayman Origins, I'm waiting for it from the last X-Mas, but it NEVER comes!

Same for a 75% discount on The 7th Guest and its sequel.

Well, regarding Rayman Origins, you should have bought it here on GOG during the Insomnia sale.

Don't Starve was 91% off for a few minutes, but then Steam jacked it up to 66% instead.

I think Rayman Origins is popular enough for a "front page feature". Just remember that most past sales of Rayman Origins were 50-66% off.

As for 7th Guest I guess you're out of luck.

There are too many goddamn tablet-styled indie games on Steam. It's looking more and more like Desura.

GOG is somewhat guilty of this too, but at least they seem to have somebody actually manning the floodgates from time to time to keep the diarrhea from getting too deep.

Yeah, I hope they will put it 75% off before the sale will end.
The fact is, the sequel is out, and the game is getting old, but they never offer a huge discount on it :(

And I have not too much money because I haven't a work, so sometimes I prefer buying games on Steam because I can take them for free thanks to steam trading cards credits.

I was a bit surprised that Tomb Raider was only cut to $10, but I guess it did just come out this year. I still got it for half that from Amazon, though, so all is well. I'm waiting patiently for Dishonored GOTY to drop to $5. Maybe next time.

Had there been DRM-free releases of these games, I'd have bought them both, at higher prices, well before now. Oh well.

Personally I feel all the sales have been disappointing, not just Steam.

Yeah, Gamersgate and GMG are horrible too.
The prices on Gamersgate, also, are so expansive :|.

Punished_Snake: The GOG one was good (not this one, the autumn one).
Which one was that?
Not the Insomnia one I suppose, because that was godawful.

Yeah, the Insomnia one, at least there were free games on it.

That 0.0000000000000000000005% of the customers could even get.
Valve gave away free copies of L4D2 and gave people plenty of time to claim a copy.
That was kinda nice of them.

Steam just had Left 4 Dead 2 for Free. I was surprised it actually ran very well with high settings on my laptop.

If you get Rayman Origins some day, be sure to manually backup the savefile, as there's only one and it can get corrupted in the PC version if you're unlucky. Once burnt, twice shy. :/

Don't forget that GOG gave the old Fallout series for free too.

But yeah, the sales are a bit disapointing, maybe beacuse I already bought all the games I wanted last year or during the previous sales.
