 we end up with the same games onsale every steam sale.

I see what you mean but there are always new games coming out so you will always have games 'getting old' so I'm not sure you can say that the cheap games are running out. I'm looking at mad max for £35 right now just scratching my head.

I am just coming into pc gaming so for me this is a most magical thing with lots of great sales that even beat the third party key sites. 

Too right! The thing is i'm not sure if this is me just getting used to the sales or them getting worse. I can't help thinking that the refund policy has negitivly impacted sales prices as they aren't just around for 2 days :/

As someone mentioned in another thread, this might be due to Steam's new refund policy. They don't really need to lower the price like before to attract buyers because they know they can get refunded if they don't like the game. It makes sense.

Well if you dont like the discount wait for it to get cheaper.  Or simply buy it form another site. Its def cheaper elsewhere. Who knows maybe will see mad max at a larger discount in the coming days. If ive learned anything from steam sales. Dont buy anything on the first day.

They aren't doing day by day sales anymore I don't think due to the refund policy but ill keep my fingers crossed!

Anything that isn't 75% or more off is not a sale to me when it comes to Steam.

Then you'll be sorely disappointed with this sale... as I am

 

Also the site is broken af right now, and doesn't load half the time

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

A steam sale being worse than last year's because you already own all the games.... is a good problem to have, hahaha. Looks like this sale is just fine. :)

I think it's just the lack of Flash sales. That's where a lot of the 80%+ discounts were.

 

Aside from that, it's always been the case that newer/very popular games get smaller discounts than older ones. And it's also the case that most of the games advertised on the main store page are new/very popular games. I wasn't expecting a big discount on most of those. Usually those huge discounts have been on games that were either a year old or more, and/or on a Flash sale.

I like the MS paint brush that is used here..

 

Anyways, the sale just started and this is not even a flash sale.. I don't think you can judge yet
