Too many sales on steam now, I just don't care anymore. Am I alone?

Agreed. I use isthereanydeal.com to make a list of what I want and just get it from the cheapest vendor when it hits the target range im looking for.

With some many legit steam key resellers now, games are almost always on deep sales after the first 3 months or so.

What's most frustrating is 5+ year old games whose biggest discount is 15%, clogging up my wishlist. Some devs are really hurting themselves by being so stingy.
