Not enough college financial aid left for me to be able to, otherwise I'd have to look at my wishlist and see what's available for a good price.

[Discussion] The Steam Spring sale is live, what games are you buying for your Deck?
(store.steampowered.com)
I barely ever opt for Steam over GOG.
What about you, Fubar? Anything catch your eye?
I've always, always supported GOG. My library is beyond extensive (though I heard just last night that some gamers whose libraries are so big, they own so much on GOG, they make the servers crash every all the time!) and on Steam? Only a handful.
I much prefer to support their sales, for their stance on DRM-free gaming, and games preservation.
If you don’t like it, why bother to comment on it?
none, can't afford anything.
It's it just me, or do these sales get worse every year?
- Gris
- Balatro
- mirror's Edge
- Horizon Forbidden West (saving this one for desktop)
Gris is great. Small, but beautiful.
In this economy?
Obviously something to get my mind off this economy.
I told myself not to buy any games until KCD2 is out on GOG. But I am tempted
I've been eyeing Signals, Children of the Sun, Jusant, and Weird West for some time now. Maybe Floppy Knights and FAR Changing Tides too
They gave away Weird West on Epic a while ago. I checked it on Game Pass and had to quit it. The atmosphere is very good and overall looks interesting but the controls were awful for me to get used to. If you are going to get it I recommend checking it before the return window expires, just in case.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm a fan of the people behind it and follow the development closely so I'm kind of biased and know what I'm getting into haha
Probably Zomboid, been eyeing it for a while. And maybe Heavy Rain, at €2 it’s very tempting.
I got Warplanes Air Corp and also Battle over the Pacific. And Dragon Age Veilguard.
However, lol, the servers must be a little overloaded, it’s downloading at dozens of megabits and, running a speed test at the same time gave me over 700 so yeah. It’ll take some patience XD
Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Dead Cells already bought.
I bought Station to Station, a nice peaceful train simulation game.
Aestik it's been on my wishlist for awhile and I don't see a reason not to pick it up at the current sale price.
I've stopped buying from Steam on account of their country threatening to annex mine. GOG is looking good though.
