So all the sales are going to be like 33% off or something like that.

I predict further profits diminutions
Discovery is also going to be damaged. Mid-tier games that would show up as flash/community/daily deals aren't going to be seen by as many people even if they do get featured, since there isn't a reason to check back regularly anymore.
Hm... on one hand, checking the steam store every day to see what the dailies would be was a bit of a hassle... on the other hand, with only one option, developers are likely to play it more close to the chest and offer shallower discounts.
I think we lose.
If only Amazon could still do competent deals.

RIP Sonic Franchise for $7.I miss those days. I got some absolutely crazy deals when they were going with that.
Soon we won't be able to use sales as a tickbox in platform wars anymore! The horror!
There's always GOG at least!Also, GreenManGaming is selling grey market keys and Nuuvem blocked VPNs (as far as I know).
Our PC heroes are dead.
It was a lottery for them anyways.Discovery is also going to be damaged. Mid-tier games that would show up as flash/community/daily deals aren't going to be seen by as many people even if they do get featured, since there isn't a reason to check back regularly anymore.
It's not confirmed that the winter sale will have no dailies, right?
A sale running through 22nd to 4th with the same deals throughout would be pretty lame.As far as I'm aware, yes it's not.. yet?
The brainy guys at Valve can probably think of a better system for the visibility issue.
This is something they seemed to somewhat do during the last sale. It might not have been intentional (although i don't see how it couldn't have been), but there were some games that were put as daily deals that didn't actually go down in price any more.
I only noticed that with Valve games IIRC, were there others too?

Rockstar. But they are assfuckers when it comes to deals.
They took the regular GTA5 off of the store, and only had a 'bundle' with a Shark Card (IAP cash) that was DISCOUNTED to the regular $60 price.
And because DLC was bundled, you ALSO couldn't get a refund.

I mean regarding midtier/indie getting visibilityTheir solutions always boil down to "let the community handle it."
Get ready to vote on sale severity. May the best percentage win.
Ooh good pointMaybe they don't want to deal with returns on games that get discounted later.
That's fine with me. Sure there was excitement in checking in periodically for new deals but it was more annoying than thrilling. Especially if I miss a sale on a game I'm interested in because some engagement got in the way.
Kinda dampens the fun and excitement as a shopper, but holy crap my stress levels for these things as a dev just plummeted to zero with this move, thank gawd.
