Back in the day Steam used to have amazing deals...now...eeek, talk about losing your fan base.
 
Most of the sales I've seen are nothing new, and been happening for months. Jedi Order has been at $29.99 many times before, so have other AAA titles. Horribly disappointed...

    If you expect AAA studios to provide bonus discounts for their games, then good luck with that.  That's up to the studios, not Steam. 
     
    More than a few games I've been looking at have had the steepest discounts yet so I've acquired a bunch to last me awhile, seems like I will need them this year. $5 off 30 is always a nice touch too. As for the sale, I made another $5 just off selling those summer sale cards 


    Have water, will cool.

    Wow you couldn't be any more wrong, as Steam is a distributor just like any other and they get bulk rates bruh. Steam could do a heck of a lot more, and yeah plus their 30% cut... not a big fan anymore.
