Too soon to be thinking of steam christmad sales and wishlis

Post by Stefan Stirzaker »

Middle of november and Christmas decorations everywhere. A young (at heart) mans thoughts turn to the wonder of christmas sales. Is steam going to deliver this year or is GoG better for sales now.

And wishlistmas .... my favourite event of the year. We are doing it?

Im not looking forward to their sales. I either already own it all in a huge backlog or its all on my wishlist and I cant afford any of it.

Steam sales were largely neutered by the returns policy. There are no more huge discounts and no more pleasant surprises. They do have good prices, but not amazing prices, and you can do everything in the first hour.

Green Man Gaming just started its Black Friday sale today, however, the site is already offline due to traffic.

I need to get my sale notification list in order. I don't even remember what I want but will never play any more and yet would pay for if it's under $10 buy normally runs $20 or more. It was a fairly extensive list.

I started a thread here specifically for the annual OO giving:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=93643

Doesn't matter to me which thread we use, but I've offered to update the list of those that wish to join in. Last year the thread was in PC Gaming so that's why I looked there and didn't see anything.
Plus, this thread title was bit nebulous :)

EDIT: I've linked to the tracker and started listing names in the thread above as I am volunteering to update the list of names.

Apparently this thread was not intended to start keeping track of participation, so participants should please go to that thread linked above.

Inasmuch as we care about keeping track, anyway.
I have but one advocate.
