• What Happened to this Once Great Site?

  It's Thursday night. I'm considering going to see 'Five Nights at Freddies' but not if it has bad reviews. I go to metacritic.com and it's not in the first row. Not in any of the rows on this horrendous website design. What the actual fuck? Source: 7 months ago

• What are the chance that baldur gates 3 become free in steam DB ?

  Asking if you should buy a game now or wait for a sale isn't allowed, asking when a game will go on sale is not allowed, asking how big of a discount a game might get is not allowed. Use SteamDB to look at sale histories on games. Source: 5 months ago

• A big chunk of my wishlist just went on sale

  Here's how to cure you from your buying habit, checkout https://steamdb.info/, check the price history of the game you're thinking of getting. Most likely it's on sale once every odd month, and discount percentages are only ever increasing over time. So really you can just buy it when you think you have time to play it soon.
