Steam Sale - speculation and conjecture

[749006]

Anyone noticed any changes today with offers?

Dean

Only change I can see is that London to Faversham has been removed from the DLC list. Only the standalone version is available at £12.49 (50%).

It always was the Standalone version.
If you buy L2F then you get it installed in to your main Railworks game.
That way you can run anything you have on the L2F and give the 395 a run somewhere else.

A 395 appeared at Railfest York, last year. But it was dragged there by a diesel.

Bought it with 80% discount.

Now London-Faversham is offered with only 50% discount. Probably a mistake, lucky me ...

I thought the bundles were meant to represent better value? These ones actually COST you money!!

Now Steam cannot do there own arithmetic.

Nothing new there. It's not always cheaper to buy bundles on Steam during a sale, it's happened many a time for many a game.

For the first day or so it was 4.99 GBP and then it went to £12.49
Maybe a lot of people got in quick.

I did
London-Faversham High Speed 4.99 GBP
Class 87 Retail 4.79 GBP

I see that the original 31 pack is now shown as 60% off

One of the locos I wanted to pick up

Yes, but somehow with the same discount and the same starting price, the sale price is 1p more expensive

Odd - shows as £11.99 reduced to £4.80 on my login...?

Mine too, but every other £11.99 60% off item is £4.79.

What beats me is surely if lots of people buy the DLC when its on offer, why can't they reduce their prices to sell more?

So far I have purchased

BR 4BIG
4VEP
Class 455
4 CIG Southern
IOW route

And all for less than a full price route, one thing that did confuse me is why are there two 4CIGs? I went for the southern one in the end as I have L2B

Where?

[ChrisBarnes]

I don't think he was referring to RW DLC, just the Flash Sales on the front store page for individual games.

Been like that since the start of the sales, new offers at 18:00 BST (17:00 GMT) and at 02:00 BST (01:00GMT)

Also of note the "Flash Sales" usually end up in the 'Daily Deals' at some point so if you miss a 'Flash' you don't miss out.
