I hate you, Steam Summer Sale

Post by Agent Zirdik »

So I began getting very interested in Evochron Mercenary a few weeks ago. I decided that I would wait until the Steam Summer sale in the hopes that it would be on sale for a better price.
However, as time crept onward, my patience began to slip. At the same time, some information about the steam summer sale line-up was leaked onto the internet, and Evochron Mercenary wasn't on it so I decided "Screw it! I'm buying it now!"
So I bought Evochron Mercenary for full price on steam.
Next week, Summer Sale started, and Evochron Mercenary was 40% off! Dammit, I missed the sale, and the leaked information was bad. But I decided I would buy a copy for a friend who is out of the country right now. So I bought a gift copy at that price.
Today, Evochron Mercenary is a featured sale, selling for only $6.24 out of the $24 dollars it's worth at full price.

My eye is twitching because my gambles did not pay off.

"Cool story, bro" I know, just venting.

However, I am glad to have supported Starwraith 3D Games by paying the full price for one copy, and 60% full price on a second.

Also to all you "potential players" at 25% its marked value, this game is an incredible steal. A STEAL you hear me?! You are COMMITTING THEFT! And NO ONE will stop you! So buy this game please, because it was so good that I didn't have the patience to wait for it to cost what it does now.
Agent Zirdik, out.

:o That is the story of my life. Whether I wait a day, a month, a year or a lifetime, the good deal always comes the day after I commit.

Yeah, I could hardly believe that price myself. I paid the full $24.95 and this game is worth every penny. Zirdik is right. At this price it is a STEAL.

One thing the summer sale did is it got the servers a lot more active. So that's a good thing.:D
