Which why nowadays, even during the mighty deals periods, I don't buy games anymore. Right now, I'm focusing on finishing games I already own.
It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don't even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they'd pop up regularly during the winter sale.
But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is "will I play it right now?"
I have to be honest, i much prefer only having to look once during the sale. Having to check every 6 hours kind required you to plan your day to check for deals.
