Yes, that is correct. The time of the apocalypse is upon our wallets. It is probably a bit weird that the end times come every year, but most gamers at this point will understand just the effect that a steam sale can have on a bank account. If the deals on gaming classics from GOG weren’t already tempting enough, from now until the first of January most of Steam’s catalog has reduced prices for their biggest sale of the year.
If you are somehow new to this whole Steam Holiday Sale thing, here’s the rundown: Most of the games on the platform are at reduced prices. While a few of these games will be at crazily reduced amounts like 75% off, others will be at more conservative 33% off – which is still quite nice. Every day, however, a selection of games will be chosen to be daily deals which will receive additional mark downs. Today’s deals are all 75% off. Additionally, there are pack deals available, where you buy a large collection of games, usually from a specific company, for massively reduced prices. For example, the 1C Complete pack is 91% off.
While it is extremely easy to spend huge amounts of money during the sale, it is hard to argue that this is easily the best time of year to buy games, at least economically speaking. A gamer with enough willpower can make out very well, but who are we kidding? We know what we’re going to do: BUY ALL THE THINGS!
