[Game Deals] Thread: Occasional Low Prices

This here thread is for Deep Forum Lore game and gaming deals. Post'em if ya got'em!

The sort of unwritten rule was that Steam deals, especially for Summer and Winter sales could clutter up this thread because there would be constantly changing and updated sale deals and it generated a lot of posts in a short amount of time for the duration of the sale (about two weeks). Well, a few years back Valve changed how the sales would go and instituted 'themes' with some sort of meta game involved and the sale deals would be for the duration of the sale. So, while it's probably less of a problem talking about Steam's seasonal sales since nothing changes daily anymore, I actually encourage you to visit the Steam Thread where you can get a greater insight on the value of a Steam deal. (Ignore the Monsters. New victims people welcome!)

No worries, thank you for doing them in the first place! Hope your move goes smoothly.

You're welcome, and so far, so good (which is great to say in the time of Covid)

    This is how I feel about every Ubisoft game, if you wait long enough you'll find an incredibly good deal (and usually "wait long enough" is just a few weeks after a game launches).

    Yeah, Ubi drops their game prices weirdly fast, even if they're sales successes.

    It's so damn odd to see a Mario game selling for peanuts, but Ubi set the price for Mario + Rabbids.

    Switch Lites seem to be in stock pretty regularly. Switch Normals have been going back in stock at various places and then selling out pretty quickly.

    So, it’s not impossible, but you’d have to be getting alerts of in-stocks through a website or twitter account or something.

    Forza Horizon 3 hits end of life on September 27th (yay car likeness licenses), so it's discounted to $10 for the base game on the Windows Store and Xbox. The "Ultimate" edition is also discounted, but does not include the Blizzard Mountain or Hot Wheels expansions; those are in the expansion pass (also discounted).

    Friendly reminder that Total War: Troy is free in the Epic Games store, but only if you pick it up today: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/a-total-war-saga-troy/home

    Literally a free AAA game. No reason not to pick it up and put it in your account, even if you don't plan on playing it right when it comes out.
