Steam is getting rid of the flash and daily sales for the upcoming Autum/Winter 2015 sale
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
that is lame flash sales were awesome they better have something better greedy people
The sales probably won't be as good if flash/daily sales are going away. Valve is telling developers to just pick a single sale price, which will likely hover around the 50% region. That's still good of course, but flash/daily sales saw a lot of games having discounts of 75% and above, which was why they were so popular.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what's even happening at Valve these days. They seem to have abandoned game development entirely (outside of DOTA 2, anyways) and the Steam store has been turning into a complete mess. It's interesting if you contrast this to Blizzard, who have been expanding a lot and starting many new franchises as they expand BattleNet, what with Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, Overwatch and all the continued support and expansions for the rest of their library (Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft).
Don't have a clue what's going on at Valve any more, they seem completely lost.
Aw, that's disappointing. I always enjoyed checking in on the sale each day to see what the new discounts were.
I suppose this stops the mentality of waiting until the end of the sale to see if a game will get a daily/flash sale, but I wonder how good the deals will be.
Pls no D:
Well that sucks. I liked the flash sales.
