Steam’s Annual Sales Do Weird Things To Me and I Have the Backlog to Prove It
I love Steam. I really do. I bow down to Gabe Newell and Valve. Top notch thinking there. But as much as I love Steam, their annual sales do things to me. Before my friend Tom convinced me to get an account I had never been much of a computer […]
