The thing about sales, are that if they happen every month is no longer a big event.
I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud here, but it really seems like everything is on sale all the time, but the sales aren’t actually sales they’re just the price a thing should be
I remember in the past these event sales being much, much better. I remember the discounts being higher, at least 50%. And 90% and 80% were a lot more common.
I think that’s the actual crux of the matter. These weekly sales throughout the year always existed, it’s the events that don’t feature as big discounts as they used to

This is the deepest discount I’ve ever seen on Rimworld. Still not at the right price point for me but it’s darn close.
You might want to put your wishlist in isthereanydeal.com - rimworld’s not at its lowest currently https://isthereanydeal.com/game/rimworld/info/
Isthereanydeal.com is such a good resource for knowing if a deal is actually a rare opportunity or it’s a game that comes up for deep sale constantly.

It just replaces prices actually dropping.
