It's so bad, OMG. For +30 games on my wishlist, not a single difference from the Summer sale, and about half of them were already on sale for the same price before the Autumn sale began.
Why even bother with seasonal sales at this point.

I'm feeling like a lot of y'all. My backlog is already immense, and i don't even need DLC for the games I have, which are mostly all huge and never ending anyway. Have we reached peak gaming? Are we now making games faster than anyone can play them?
Playing Hades 2 on desktop, Hollow Knight on deck, and Anno 117 is coming out in a month... Not to mention the five other games I added to my backlog this year and haven't touched yet.
I will be skipping this sale, methinks.
Atomic Heart and Cyberpunk 2077 are the only two on my list that are discounted enough.
Maybe, maybe not. I'm not close to running out of unplayed games.
CB 2077 is really good and probably worth it if you enjoy open world games like GTA, skyrim, or RDR.
Atomic Heart I have been having a hard time getting into, for all the commonly cited reasons. The game looks gorgeous and its a fun setting, but you actually spend a lot of time in boring grey hallways fighting the same robots, and the combat just isnt especially great. Performance has been real hit or miss as well (I'm on Linux through proton).
I bought "Cult of the Lamb". It's not a spectacular discount but good enough to go try it out.
We made our entire cult out of cats 😁. If we ever end up with a non-cat, they're first up to be sacrificed lol.
Don't tempt me to spend even more money on games I will forget I bought 😅
I have…

…in my cart, but considering I‘m unlikely to get around to any of them this year, I‘ll let them sit in the cart throughout the sale and see whether I’ll pull the trigger on anything.
Picked up Rogue Trader, Death Road to Canada, and Doom Eternal for $20. Not bad.
I’m seeing a lot of games with what seems like a much steeper discount than usual. First thing I do when there’s a steam sale is look at my wishlist and sort by discount and there are a lot of games on sale for 90% off, many of which only a couple dollars.
I'm already playing Hades 2 and FF Tactics comes out tomorrow.
So that, I guess, then probably nothing. /shrug.
Steam sales lose their luster when they're so frequent.
I might pick up monster train and doom eternal. Yeah, I still haven't played doom eternal.
I really like Monster Train. Its my favorite after Slay the Spire.
Monster train 2 is even better!
Can't find anything worth playing so far.
Darktide 67%, X4 at 75% and Hades 75% off are all extremely tempting. I need to start seeding the idea of buying darktide to my friends. I dont even think its worth buying any of these when im so hopelessly addicted to Beyond All Reason.
Darktide is fun with friends, but it's still a good game without. My friends all burnt out on it after 30ish hours but I've almost hit 100 now and still having fun every now and again. Scratches a very particular itch
I mean I was kinda tempted to get Planet Crafter, but then I thought about it for a bit and realized that I didn't really want it.
Edit: I ended up buying it and Goblin Cleanup because I got paid for a job after making this comment. I ended up playing for 7 hours straight because I just wanted to see the next tier/level of stuff
i didn't get anything in summer sale so this time I might indulge
Played the demo of Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream a while back so might buy it now it's 20% off. Not surprised it got "Overwhelmingly Positive". Bloody excellent game.
If it would have had Swedish voice acting I would have bought it.
Just to throw in a different genre, I'm currently enjoying Car-X Street, Forza racing, and need for speed heat.
I'd like to buy Sea of Stars or Dungeons of Hinterberg. They've both been on my wishlist for a while. But I can't really justify the cost rn, and I already have a huge backlog to work through. So I'll probably skip this autumn sale as well.
If I had remembered this was coming, I might have waited a little bit to see if Maze Mice was gonna be on sale. Either way, nothing I'm desperately craving to buy, so I'll probably see if any of the games on my wishlist go on sale for a good deal
Edit:
Might wait and see what's on sale before making any purchases considering I spent a little more than I was expecting over the weekend.
Though I might splurge if Sonic Lost Worlds is on sale for a good price. Just for mods to make movement in that game actually bearable. Trying to run only to basically be slowed to a crawl by moving left or right is painful.
If you bought Maze Mice not too long before the sale started, you might be able to get the difference refunded to you by taking to Steam Support
It's not a huge deal. It also gives a little more to the dev, so in the end I don't mind.
