I know, I know, these aren't really the hot **** they used to be, but its still worth pointing out or discussing any deals you come across or your potential purchases for discussion's sake.
A lot of game pricing nowadays is sticky and games tend to have a much higher "standard" price to their 75/80/90% off sales don't look nearly as impressive anymore (Red Red Redemption 2 having a $99 standard price for an 8 year old game that is Rockstar's secondary niche franchise is absolutely nuts). Publishers are trying to squeeze blood from the stone if I may mix my metaphores here.
Publishers like Playstation really don't like deep discounts on their IPs, and seem content to keep even old stuff like Days Gone and Spider Man 1 at a $15-30 sale point.
Between higher game pricing, and PC component pricing spiking (RAM ofc, but even AMD saying its cards will get more expensive next year and Nvidia saying they will be reducing their output of consumer GPUs) might mean we're in another Covid-esq era of "play one of the 200 games you already own instead of trying to buy a new one".
Ok this is getting a bit ranty, so here are the games that look tempting off my wishlist, all below my $10 go point. Doubt I'll buy all of them, but I'll definitely get some of them:
Divinity Original Sin 1 - $4
Black Mesa - $5
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture - $5
Weird West - $6
Dusk - $7
WH40K Boltgun - $9
Talos Principal 2 - $9
WH40K Chaos Gate - $9
Marvel Midnight Suns - $9
Slay The Princess - $10
BattleTech - $10
High on Life - $10
Persona 4 Golden - $10
