Today’s Cheapskating features 31 Steamy deals.
July 11 marks day one of the Steam Summer Sale. Ten “Daily Deals” (strangely some last longer than a 24 hours), four “Flash Sales” lasting 8 hours a pop, and tons of other discounts across the PC gaming spectrum. While many discounts are solid, some of the thunder got taken away as their homepage headliner, BioShock Infinite is actually cheaper at Green Man Gaming.
That’s right, the popular 2013 hit is 50% off at Steam ($29.99) but for 24 hours you can pick it up for 60% off ($24) at GMG after coupon. That’s a pretty impressive price tag and actually makes it lowest ever price since the release day 4 months ago. Often hit titles like this won’t budge in price for over a year, as was the case with Skyrim.
Nevertheless, if you’re looking for the best of the best of the Steam sale, we’ve got your back. Below is a spreadsheet of some of the top deals and if the games are cheaper somewhere else we’ll link to those.
