Default Is D2D or STEAM going to have another sale?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get Thief Deadly shadows, it used to cost $4.99,
but now it's $19.99 on STEAM and D2D. That seems excessive for a 5 year old game.

Do STEAM or D2D going to have some promotion soon that lowers cost of games?

They have promotions every few days. What games on sale isn't known until the promotion goes live.

your best bet would to be buy it from here and post in the wanted section


D2D's 5 dollar deal was a celebration of 5 years in buisness.

I've rarely seen a game go on sale more then once on steam in a 2-3 month period.

Try waiting for new year. Steam always has new years sale or something like that.

The games that do are generally newer games like TF2 and L4D.

Since you're on Vista, don't get the D2D version. Their DRM or something prevents the game from working on Vista and probably 7 too. Read the reviews.

Steam usually has a huge Christmas sale in December. I think last year it was 10-75% off.
