Steam Autumn Sale is Live - Even More Games on sale Than Previous Editions
Steam may be losing some luster in the digital game distribution arena with the quantity and quality of heavy players that have appeared since its inception - I'm looking at GOG and the EPIC Games Store especially. However, Steam continues to be the service that offers the largest library of purchasable titles. As such, if you don't have a backlog of games to play already (don't lie, you do have them, but we won't judge if you buy some more), now is the time to make the jump.
The biggest discount percentage I've seen, so far, is that for Rise of the Tomb Raider, which cuts a total of 85% from its listing price. Discounts range from 20% through to that (apparent) ceiling, with franchises such as the Dark Souls Series (Dark Souls 3 for $15 (75% off), Dark Souls 2 for $9.99 (75% off), and Dark Souls Remastered going for $23.99 (40% off). The Dishonored franchise also sees massive cuts from their list prices, at 70% for the original and 75% for Dishonored 2 and its Death of the Outsider expansion (how I love these games). The Master Chief Collection, however, isn't on sale - it's still in pre order, you know how it is. But maybe one of these days you'll get that one (though it already is a steal at its launch price for the quality of games you're getting). Go on, feast your eyes and murder your wallet. We're cheering for you.

I won't support Steam until they fix their broken digital platform. I don't want to have the hassle of Steam crashing, games failing to launch or error out when trying to download and/or update, buttons not responding on the UI, taking up 1-2GB of RAM just sitting there and not being used and a handful of other issues.
I wonder how many people are avoiding Steam right now due to these issues and putting their money into other digital platforms such as EGS and GoG?
Buying from Steam? Only if the key is cheap and its something I do actually want. These sales never really worked well for me, when key sites offer them the year round.Still keeping the batch, I actually really really like it. One click, no changelog :)
Not a single issue using Steam until the UI update. No crashes, no memory leaks, no issues updating/downloading games/updates, nothing.
Update comes along and Steam crashes, issues downloading/updating games, memory leaks and so on.
I reverted back to the old UI and zero issues.
It is possible some of the issues stem from my use of Windows 7 on my gaming rig, but I also had issues using the new UI update on a Windows 10 computer as well.
But speaking to crashes, I can't even remember the last time Steam crashed on me, or when I last had issues downloading/updating games. It has to be years. In fact, I can't remember the last time any of the launchers (Origin, EGS, Uplay etc) crashed on me. That just hasn't been a thing I ever worry about anymore.
It has to be some other underlying issue surely, OP.
Oh wait, what about the thousands of people that have posted similar and other issues on Steam forums since the UI update?
But for argument's sake, let's say that was true. Thousands out of around 100 million active accounts doesn't really account for much. If a significant number of users were experiencing the number of issues you're having, it would have gotten much more public attention. By the way, I'm not saying that there aren't any issues with the new UI, but I don't think there are serious widespread issues like you're describing.
Also, makes game names a lot bigger - before, I used to be able to see all of my Favourite games at once. Now, about two thirds are shown, and I need to scroll down for the last third.
No, I have no plans on removing some of the games from the Favourite list.
I really wish CoD MW (reboot) was on Steam.
I really think Steam does a better job than Battle.net
Of the last 4 games I purchased 3 aren't on Steam.
Better than shitposting here where the Ui means nought.
You might get help that way, a fix , Steam's no different to me ,not perfect mind.
This could have been a look bargain thread, now it's a Moan Ui thread.
Right now your comment sounds the title of a click bait article where no actual information is provided, just some outlandish number used to try and get people to click and then read something that's not really relevant to the title.
Thousands that do utilize the forums have posted about issues and voiced their opinion. If you haven't read through them you're more than welcome to do so. Not very post are complaints, but a majority of them are. It's easy to see it's not an isolated issue with me or the two computers I've tired using Steam on since the UI was updated nearly a month back now. Some posts are of people that just don't like the new UI, but there are a lot of complains of issues the updates have brought.

Never played the backstory before HL2, so all brand new for me - love it so much, amazing storyline so far.
.99 cents :clap:
Work rig enthusiasts learn to accept lower frame rates as part of life. lol. :p
HL2 is $1 too and that's a must play for anyone that hasn't. HL2 Ep1 and Ep2 for 80 cents each is also an extremely good price for anyone who hasn't played those. Portal 1 and Portal 2 for a buck each or $1.5 for both. Top notch quality Valve games.
Also note for Command & Conquer on Origin has the Ultimate Collection for $10 which includes:
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Command & Conquer: Red Alert: Counterstrike
Command & Conquer: Red Alert: The Aftermath
