    This sale sucks. A lot of these games were cheaper in past sales.

    (My site choice isn't meant to be mocking, it literally is one of the better explanations)

    Basically, inflation. Game prices are going to go up (not that they have ever tracked with inflation anyway). Companies do have staff to pay, after all. The economy is tough.
    Actually lack of new games, games these days last for years eg GTA V, as prime example, should have gotten 6 in ONE era, 7 in Series era.

    In 360 era I could not keep up with all the individual new games, plus neglected PS3 as had no time for, now today I am buying same game on PS and Xbox and maybe PC as well, due to lack of new games.

    Games get old, prices drop, and they get money from the new games, but if not releasing new games fast enough, they have to then rely on the old games still.
    Buying:Physical discs leads to profits, Digital games leads to bankruptcy. I will not support digital fully until we can trade digital games

    Children of morta left games pass a year ago and I've been waiting really patiently for it to go on sale since. I've never purchased anything so fast. Absolutely loved what I played of it with my partner and can't wait to go back to it.
    Fantastic game, and for those who like to play single player and not co-op, don't worry, it's perfectly completable single player (that's how I did it).

    Great game, great progression system, and doesn't outstay its welcome.

    Would be cool to see more people playing dj max with the insane sale, that alone makes the deals great. xuan yuan sword 7 being on offer is nice too.

    Every time the Titan's Quest DLC goes on sale I check to see if they've fixed the unobtainables yet. Still no sale for me...sigh.

    A very nice selection to choose from. It beats me how people can complain about this sale. I picked up Sexy Brutale, In Sound Mind and American Fugitive which combined was less than £10. Thanks to previous posters for the pointers on these.
