Steam Summer Sale 2020 COVID-19 Edition

No weird/broken/buggy games to play this time around. Just points earning through purchases to get avatars, stickers and stuff, which will continue past the sale. They've also retroactively given people points for purchases earlier this year. You can also get the Summer sale trading cards by going through your Discovery Queue each day

Looks like a better than usual sale as well.

Could be. Video game spending is up this year likely thanks to COVID-19 so publishers and developers may be trying to take advantage of many people still staying at home and looking for games to play.

And it ends up just being a few Rocksmith DLC yet again, for me.

Yeah it was clever/evil of them to offer "remastered" tracks to get people to buy songs twice.

I don't understand. Did they remastered tracks?

The tracks I picked up were regular releases from the previous release-to-sale gap. One more sale and I'll be pretty much done with DLC, because the gap only has one cycle left (so for the winter sale, all DLC should be on sale). I don't mind throwing them a few bucks every sale, I get new tunes and they keep ignoring the customs forge.

Yeah they did for some.

$5 off $30 with the sale prices got me to buy some games.

Halcyon 6 is a pretty boilerplate but well done seemingly space roguelike pixel gfx thing if you aren't sick of pixel gfx at this point (i'm so close).

I got Galaxy of Pen & Paper +1 for $3 because Chroma Squad was great. more pixel gfx tho... but seriously get Chroma Squad for $3 if you haven't. Funny and charming and different.
