Lol, no.
And within the next four years, it’ll be non-existent.
I think it’s mostly because of how rapid the internet was at becoming more accessible. It was inevitable as to how big it’d become.
And the opinion then changed from that to “The internet never forgets” which was more in the mid-2000s and early 2010s. This is 50/50 because it really depends. Some sites shut down for good, so if there was anything or anyone on it, then we can safely say the internet forgot. But that opinion mostly applies to whenever someone becomes a lolcow or someone who generally does something so stupid online that it’s everywhere. Hence the internet communities not forgetting.
Confirmation bias.
The prices aren’t impressing me, then again, they really hadn’t impressed me for 5 years in a row now. They’re exactly the same as I’ve seen them in other sales, except the other sales mark them down slightly lower.
Granted, I’ve acquired nearly every game I’ve personally been scouting for so the thrill is mostly gone. I’d only be spending just to spend on things I don’t quite need and not want.
You first.
They really were. Like, in 2015, I paid a total of $153 for like 34 games. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but for the games I wanted that were there? Totally worth it. Like Wolfenstein the Old Blood, Transformers War For/Fall Of Cybertron, Oblivion and Morrowind to mention a few.
My argument is that, the purpose of the Autumn and Winter Sales is we’re expected to see staggeringly great deals. That is why so many people have looked forward towards every year with Steam. When you see a game that’s been consistently 20% all year, it’s been released 6 years ago for example and it’s active on the Winter Sale with the same exact price as it had been? It defeats the purpose of being involved in the sale in the first place.
It’s a matter of to each their own as to what game they think is currently having a great deal and that’s factored in whether or not that they have it. I’m seeing deals of games where I admit, are at extremely better price points than when I originally got them for. But I also can say that there are games that are on sale right now, where I remembered getting them at better deals way back when.
I’ve already pointed out that it’s also likely that I’ve been acquiring a majority of the games that I want and that if I partake into this sale, I’d only be spending for the sake of spending which may likely not be worth my expenses.
The cons would outweigh the pros.
We would be back to the 2000s where the world was cautiously allied with the U.S during the Bush years. Like, the world depends on the U.S for a lot of things and to lose it’s support, ally and everything to dictatorship would be detrimental. Trump is orchestrating a U.S where he thinks everyone should bow to the country, under his rule. It’s not about making America Great Again, it’s about making Trump Great Again.
