Would you look at that...justice.

Steam Sales won't mean much when the only things going on sale are crap like that Earth 2066.

Are you sure? I'm not so sure. Every time there's a Steam sale, there's an influx of buyers. Even if they just ***** about the game (Which can be moderated, evidently). God mode springs to mind--a game that's simultaneously perpetually dead and alive because there always seems to be an influx of new players looking for other players. And yet, even when there was a community, matchmaking's so broken you couldn't get anyone. Controls are kind of bad, too. Game's kind of limited. People will complain. But somehow, the 4 or 5 sales (That I'm aware of) have got people to buy.

It seems like quality is almost secondary to sale status. I think this is why PSN has had Time and Eternity on sale for the last six months (probably hyperbole, but it's been half off for ages). For a limited time, of course.

That's pathetic. Crap that's not worth buying that's on sale is still crap that's not worth buying.
