The days of steam having wild deals on newer stuff are over. IMO. It’s all more measured and regimented now. The sales are part of the whole business plan these days, and likely planned out from the start.

I’m sure there are exceptions, but I don’t get the impression that sales are as exciting these days. Everything has adapted to consumers expecting sales.
