    Steam sale IS NOT A REAL SALE.

    Consumers have associated the experience as a sale, but the last few steam sales I have only found very very niche stuff actually on sale, everything else isn’t really on sale it just has meaningless percents next to them.

    Edit wow so I am really not in the majority here with my opinion haha, ok, maybe I am seeing this wrong? Honestly, the last couple steam sales I have compared the sales going on to previous sales <1 month previous or less away and the sales just didn’t look that good from that perspective.

    I am not saying games aren’t going on sale in the Steam sale, I am arguing the sales are mediocre compared to random sales throughout the year, but again… I probably just have a warped vision of this because clearly people think otherwise.


  • Well guess they shoulda named it “Legion Go Get A Grip” then.

    Having detachable joy cons is great, this space is incredibly vibrant right now and has all the hype people were projecting into stuff like VR except it is real and organic this time.

    I love my Steam Deck but I love it because I could see Valve was creating a new market that according to my estimation was going to point the way forward to the broader pc gaming industry and yet it never seemed like Valve was interested in pre-emptively making a walled garden around that future they got to first.

    Seeing devices like the Legion Go succeed in the sense that people are using them and loving them gives me hope, there is zero “my device is better” crap just like… .damn I am thankful Valve didn’t really try to make a total walled garden and I am thankful other hardware makers hit the ground running and didn’t get utterly left in the dust or totally at Microsoft’s mercy when basically the entire industry shifted to gamepass.
