I have far more games already available, unplayed, than I will ever play, and more coming in every week and month, so why pay to add to the pile unless it’s something i am literally going to start playing the moment it finishes downloading?Īs for the sale itself, I swear I get more emails about titles on my wishlist being discounted outside of the sales than during it.

And Forza Horizon 5 is 50% off for all editions… I think they have released all the DLC for it at this point… and I would rather have it on Steam than on the Microsoft GamePass subscription. Will I buy it for a mere $2.49? Darkest Dungeon, which I never quite got around to buying, is 70% off. I mean Ogre, which has been on my wishlist for a while, is 90% off.
