So that either means no more deep discounts or deep discounts all through

From what I understand, it looks like they want the deep discount to run throughout the sale and not only during flash or frontpage occurrences to promote more sales.

From what I understand it looks like instead of 80% off for highlight sales and 50% off for rest of the time, it will be 65% off throughout the sales duration.
^^It will be a single discount throughout the sales (as per my understanding), so if GTA V is discounted at 50% off, it will stay the same throughout the sale, instead of different discounts on different days. Basically, it will almost obliterate the chance of missing a deal. So if your paycheck is credited mid-sales, you can still catch up.

But what's the point if we don't get the deep discounts anymore?^^It will be a single discount throughout the sales (as per my understanding), so if GTA V is discounted at 50% off, it will stay the same throughout the sale, instead of different discounts on different days. Basically, it will almost obliterate the chance of missing a deal. So if your paycheck is credited mid-sales, you can still catch up.
So e.g who will buy Remember Me at 65%?
You get it wrong, say if a game is 90% (or whatever percentage) off at the beginning of the sale, it will remain so throughout the sale. So as [MENTION=135367]007[/MENTION] said, deep discount will run throughout the sale instead of few hours or a day or so.
Again, that's my understanding.

Which developer will set it to 90% off for the whole sale? No one will do that.

Yes that part I got that same discount full sale per title.
My point is does this mean that deep discounts are gone. Because as you know very well, deep discounts were only part of flash sales before.
Now if they do have the deep discounts all through then it will be awesome.
Guess we just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed.
^^If people can set it for 90% off for a whole week (weeklong deals), I am pretty much certain they can do so for another week also. There's a possibility that the key generator of the game may run out (remember Prey or TDU2) if the discount is too good, so you may see a few games getting removed or purchase disabled during the sale.

So they won't put back new keys?
Depends on their situation. TDU2 devs put the game back, after a month or two later, I think that was during last year's winter sale. And I hope you know the story of Prey, it was on 75% discount during one sale, the key generator got exhausted and there was no further combination of the key possible with the existing code. The devs gone kaput soon after, so the game never come back to Steam.

Ah wasn't aware of this prey situation. Been on steam for only 3 years now. Heard that prey 2 is in development but it seems like forever now.

The bundle is good but sad that I already have grid and dirt games. Don't think its worth getting just for autosport though.Have the steam sales started?

Well if you know, the current steam login auth has been replaced by the mobile auth. So I guess it is pretty secure.
Yeah it has. Do you use the app? I'm still paranoid about these things but it's so much more convenient to just add a credit card to your account and purchase stuff from the app
.Plus I can keep track of my wishlist easily.
