nijuu: I don't know. There is good selection of games on sale (
http://didimatic.com/dd/en/onsale/gamersgate/), but there is just not much I - a) already have or b) really want.
I think it just perceptions, in the the last couple of years I have managed to more or less get the games I want, and there is not that much being released again, or it is too new to be in the sales.
I had the same problem with the summer sale here on GoG, I ended up only getting 3 games, and two were duplicates from games I had other places. (the third I have not yet downloaded...) I am expecting the same from Steam.
This!
I dont't think the sales are bad just because one has everything already or is too stuffed.
New gamers grow up every day, that don't have these games.
For me, I am basically I only waiting for nice Far Cry 3 sale this summer, pref. on GG, that's all I want to get out of it.
And I spent about $12 on the GOG sale, since the games I REALLY wanted were not on sale.
dyscode: LOL, masterfail on my part! I don't know why I recently though it's 72 hours...
HypersomniacLive: Not necessarely - IGS is a bit slow with its email notifications (though not a whole day slow, more like 10-12 hrs late), maybe you assumed that it starts around the time you get the email.
Possibly. If it wasn't for the email I might miss it completely. But then usualy I get the mail only a few hours into the start like 85+, cause I post them here quite a few times first.
BUt maybe it's just becasue my freelance workday feels like 32 hrs-shifts. ;D
