Generally true, but there are the games that you can't get Steam keys for like Ubisoft's stuff, GTA V and The Witcher 3. It's handy for those if you want to have them on Steam.

They're normally acquired from cheaper parts of the world or traded in mass to get better deals.

Same day as the EU referendum. If we lose at least I'll be able to drown my sorrows with some cheap games. There is some DLC I want to pick up for a specific game.
Just make sure you get down there and vote before you even switch ya PC on!
Steam sales are only good now for maybe the odd bit of DLC that's super cheap or the trading cards.

Hasn't been a good steam sale in years since the first few.
Even worse since all the badge nonsense was added.

Steam sales are a non event for me these days. Shame
Yeah they haven't been as good as in the past and I have brought all the games I want already. Hope there might be something nice come up that I want but at least I can buy some cheap CS:GO skins off the marketplace!

I'll be on the lookout for Total War: Warhammer bargain and cheap DLC for Age of Empires 2.
I dont really understand those who say the sales aren't as good anymore.
People seem to get disappointed if games from 6-12 months ago aren't 75% off, which was *never* a thing. Steam sales were great when they were newer and had all sorts of great, but slightly older games at really good discounts. So many people filled up their libraries with all the cheaper titles and then inevitably subsequent sales are going to be less appealing because you've already bought much of what was going to be heavily discounted.
It takes time for game prices to come down and we'll continually see a small portion of games go from light->medium discount or medium->heavy discount each sale. And 'medium' discount is often seen as unappealing or disappointing, so out of these titles, it's only the ones that go from medium->heavy discount that many are interested in or excited about. And that's only going to be a very small percent of the 'big' games people are waiting for.
I think Steam should do less frequent sales. I know they make a killing off them either way, but I think there'd be more excitement from them if there were bigger gaps in between, where we'd see slightly more games being discounted to what people want each time.

If there's stuff on my wish list on there I'll pick them up. Wouldn't mind getting battle fleet gothic and blood bowl 2, perks the new xcom as well.
The game hasn't been out long enough to get a big discount.

If any of the "Air, Land & Sea" Just Cause 3 DLC is decently discounted I'll pick that up - otherwise not interested in anything else really!
