I bought absolutely nothing this year. First time that's happened in a steam sale.

I don't think I picked up anything big only some £0.79 indie game bundle

Then I was also gifted Fract OSC which is pretty great!

To lazy to go through my list of new games, But bought about 15 or 16 games, plus some DLC for them and other games I already have.

My haul for this sale is;
Xcom: enemy unknown
Borderlands the pre sequel
Red orchestra 2
Orion: prelude

Very happy with these purchases so far, but seem to have run out of missions on borderlands @ lvl 22.

Didn't buy anything :/ was hoping pricing would have been a bit better than it was. Nearly bought a few but thought against it.

Holding out for gta5 for a fiver

If it full of hacks, I can wait for a better discount

Was wondering how well the Monster Summer Sale did, as many people called it terrible.

According to this article at Lazygamer, that uses Steamspy statistics, it still sold loads of games.

Didn't buy a single thing. We were spoilt too much in past sales.

Well, there are still a lot of games I want to buy. But the thing is, Steam is no longer the best place to buy them.

Perhaps you're right - previous Steam sales were very heavily discounted, and we expect that now. The number of games this year reduced to £5 or less was far less than previous years.

But GOG and other places are now cheaper (sale vs sale).

Interesting. I wonder how this compares with the christmas sale and previous years?

Love this game too . It's linear but that's part of its charm

thought gunslinger was quality, only took me about 6 or 7 hrs to complete but enjoyed all of it, even better when it costs less than a pint of perroni

I literally got to the end and then restarted. Just thought it was amazing. :cool:

The mechanics are just so delightful.

It's not surprising. Steam continues to get more and more popular. As it does, sales will decrease but the newcomers won't be aware of any other options. It's like when people buy things on sale that aren't a daily or flash deal.

And that's probably why the discounts aren't as great as previous years. Valve and the game companies know people will buy them regardless.
