Black Friday Sale? (steam)

I find myself wondering if there will be a sale this coming Black Friday? Having recently got back into Train Sim, I have my eye on a few routes as my collection feels rather sparse, but the route prices feel rather steep at the standard price. Especially for someone looking to bag a few at a time.

It occurs to me that perhaps there may be an opportunity to snap a few up next Friday in some sort of Black Friday sale? Is this often the case? I know it is for other sims.

 

Next Steam sale will be the Xmas/New Year one which I think starts on 21st December. A while back they equalised their sales so more evenly spread over the year, which meant losing the Black Friday/Thanksgiving one.

 

Sure, but not all sales on Steam are during an official Steam sale. I regularly get sale offers on Steam. Well, I get them almost every day for things on my wishlist.

 

Indeed, not saying there won't be something but the big DTG TSW sale outside of the regular Steam ones seems to be their "Rail Fest" event usually in February. Best advice is to watch for official news in the Announcements or Live section as DTG will not respond directly to questions like this.

 

Just after my last reply, I had a Discord alert about the PlayStation Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. So it seems that PlayStation will be getting one.

Now the question is, will the rest of us?

 

That's correct. Actually the next big sale starts December 18th.

 

That is where you just need to be patient

 

Yes of course Your Majesty.

 

To be fair, we on Steam get far more sales than our console brethren, so I don’t begrudge them having a sale when we don't. The winter sale will come soon enough.

 

Just be patient or buy at full price. It’s simple!

 

I'm a fiscally prudent man seeking to make an informed purchasing decision. I'm not a child on Christmas Eve.

Well, neither do I, good fellow. I'm not quite sure where you've gotten that notion from.

Where was there any expression of impatience implied?

Thanks for solving that complicated equation for me, though.

Some curious replies to an honest question. A simple "possibly, we had one last year" or "Usually not" or "I don't know" would have sufficed.

 

Meanwhile, over on XBox I'd imagine the next crack at a sale is probably the big annual one that takes place over late December/New Year.

 

I agree. Those patronizing responses are weird. DTG is not the government or some kind of public service. No need to " be patient ". Nothing wrong with demanding more sales from a commercial company.
