Steam Getting Rid Of Flash And Daily Sales

4.6

The dates for the upcoming Steam holiday sales have been leaked and it looks like there will no flash or daily sales to be had this year.

According to Shacknews, the leak came from the Steamworks developer group in a message about holiday sales dates.

The Autumn sale will apparently run from 10am PT on November 25th to 10am PT on December 1st. The Winter sale will begin on December 22nd at 10am PT and wrap up at 10am PT on January 4th.

Addressing the changes to the sales’ format this year, the statement explained, “In past sale events, we’ve asked for two discounts—a duration discount that runs for the length of the sale, and a feature discount that runs in the event that a game is featured on the front page. This year, to optimize the sale for customers and to allow us to feature and recommend your products in more ways to more customers, we’re asking for just one discount, to run the length of the sale.”

Will you miss the flash and daily sales, or are you relieved that you won’t have to keep checking into Steam to make sure you don’t miss any bargains? Let us know in the comments.

ZTG Whoever says console is better is asking for a slap and for their head to be checked because this thread is giving me multiple face palms and I'm actually considering logging out of TTG and never returning right now.

Yeah, I definitely need to be checked out because my opinion differs from yours.

Ill rather play a game on any system then not playing at all.
Whats the big deal at this point in time

omg, these console/pc wars are so tiring... There's more console vs pc wars than talk about the damn news article. I'm going to start a Gameboy Master Race for all the people who don't care what platform they play on, as long as it brings them joy and happiness what is the difference? I still play my Super Nintendo religiously. I play my Gameboy every day on work break. And, just to let everyone know, the Gameboy DMG had 60fps BEFORE PC!!! Just saying!!! GAMEBOY MASTER RACE FTW!!!

Bompton I still do not see why people still play on PC, it is already proven that consoles are so advance with great feedback.

Just stop. Please. Do us all a favor.

it's all about preference, i like using controllers but i love freedom of pc usage so its difficult to decide on which

You can use a controller on pc. In fact you can use multiple types of controllers from different platforms.

Yep! You can even make a controller act as your mouse and you can navigate through YouTube and such with a controller.
