I’m pretty good at finding a decent discount. It’s what I cut my teeth doing here at VideoGamer, no matter how much I try and forget it..
. Anyway, one thing that you begin to notice when you see an old headset or graphics card with B**** F***** or Prime Day discount is the deja-vu. ‘Wait a second, I’ve written an article on this LG C2 once before, maybe twice, even thrice?’ Maybe you will check back through the articles you’ve written, notice that the ‘discounted’ price is never really that different, and in some cases it’s even more expensive than before.
That’s one of the issues that I’m noticing with this year’s . It’s a bit whack, frankly. The first game I wanted to check out at this year’s Steam Summer Sale was Elden Ring.
I’ve got it on my PS5, but I’m a gluttonous fellow and want it for my future Steam Deck (which, I have not bought yet because they sold out in seven minutes). Before the sale, I checked . Lowest recorded price, £29.
99. The sale began last night, and just as I expected, it was £35. It’s only a five quid difference, but I had really expected more from what should be the biggest gaming sales event of the year.
It’s been two years since it released, and the DLC has sold over 5m copies now, surely a bigger discount will encourage even more players, and even more expansion buys. Even fur.
