Further proof that Italians have suspect taste in games.

Some good deals here and there:  Heretic + Hexen complete pack for only € 2.49 (mostly interested in these); all the Wolfenstein games for € 3.74 (or Return to Castle Wolfenstein for €2.49). Then, of course, the Doom and Quake packs.

I always wonder if it embarrasses them pulling out the aging relics from the time when they were relevant.

... interesting to note the latest wolfenstein iteration has vanished from steam, apparently in publisher limbo and zero online activity. ET:QW too.

Yeah, and Quake Wars: Enemy Territory is still MIA.

It's kind of weird to me to see these kinds of sales coming what, two weeks after the big summer sale?  Like I didn't spend the $10.00 to buy Skyrim two weeks ago, but now I'll be willing to buy it for $20?

Meh, I picked up Rage & Quake 4 for something like £3 each. I played so, so, so much QW back in the day that I got my money's worth 50 times over. I've not bought anything from them since Quake 3 Arena, thought I'd check out the later stuff myself.

They did a presentation a few years back at GDC and shared some stats -- the boost in sales a game gets from a sale continues after the sale, apparently because the sale puts a game in people's mind, they miss the sale, and then decide they want the game anyway.  Putting a game on sale a second time for a higher price seems like it'd have a similar effect of "I missed it last time, better not pass it up this time, it might never go on sale again!"
