Have you ever been browsing gaming deals and couldn't decide what to buy or have been low on funds (gotta keep that gas on) and have had to make a gaming sales sacrifice?

Post your quarrels and results here. :)

I just bought Majesty Gold HD on GOG.

Sacrificed Majesty 2 Collection (GOG) and Darksiders 2 Deathinitive Edition on Steam.

Everytime there's a sale of the same game both here and on Steam.
As much as I want the DRM free version, the exchange rate and the lack of Brazilian currency/payment options just kills it for me so I end up getting neither (sometimes I cave in for the Steam overlords if it's really, really cheap).

BTW GOG, I'M STILL WAITING!
When considering Dungeon Keeper spiritual successors I bought War for the Overworld (not on GoG so I got it on Humble) because it was DRM-free optional, map editor (more replay value), and on sale. New content and patches and 'Survival Mode' planned later. Yes, I realize the DRM-free version is the "2nd class citizen" version right now, but that still seemed better than the other options.

Sacrificed Dungeons2 - no map editor or random map generator for replay value and it was more expensive even when it's on sale. Developers confirmed there will never be a map editor or random map generator. No more new patches. Nevertheless, it's still on my GoG wishlist.

Sacrificed Dwelvers - Still in beta stage and I'm not a fan of the giant pig face mother being the Dungeon Heart, but perhaps a mod could change that later. Still I might get it later.

Sacrificed Steam-only DRM Dungeon Keeper spiritual successors.

I would rather get a great game than a good game on sale. I prefer newer games to older games as I know rose-colored nostalgia glasses can be misleading. I hate reviews from people who remember playing a game 10+years ago & haven't played it recently. Currently considering the below multiplayer games I've never played yet & most are on GoG (but in no rush to get any today)...

Hack&Slash = Grim Dawn vs. Van Helsing1 (Van Helsing2 after I do 1)(Wolcen is too alpha & unbalanced to consider now & Gauntlet:Slayer is Steam-only)

RPG = NeverwinterNights2 vs. Divinity:Original Sin (both have far more replay value via multiplayer, community content, mods, map editor) than other similar ones in my wishlist (Icewind Dales, etc)

Real-time Strategy = Warcraft3 (not on GoG) vs Sacrifice vs Impossible Creatures vs Warrior Kings:Battles vs. Majesty2 vs Dungeons2 vs Stronghold Crusader2

Turn-base Strategy = Age of Wonders3 vs Elven Legacy vs Disciples2 vs Chaos (although there is a free new mod for HoMM5 which I own that I may try instead)

Econ Sim with some war = Anno1404 vs. Settlers:Rise An Empire

Shooter = STALKERs vs. Dying Light:Following Enhanced (shooters usually aren't interesting to me, but these seem worth trying)

Adventure = not my thing at all, but if I did try yet again then probably some horror

Platform = Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (but this is Steam only so I probably wont get it)

It nearly always comes down to the backlog, and thus the likelihood of the game ever being installed on my hard drive.

It looks like they've been working on it.
Actually in sales and in my whishlist are Icewind Dale:EE, Pillars of Eternity and Showel Knigt.
But my current lack of a job makes i have to do a lot of gaming sacrifices and skip them.

PRAISE!

*crossed fingers intensifies*
You call it sacrifice, I call it priorities.
I got cheap games (Darkest Hour and King Arthur Collection via trade) instead of Sorcerer King which has relatively high price and low discount.
I also can't buy Pillars of Eternity: Royal Edition because I have Kickstarter Hero Edition which can't be upgraded.
