GTA 5 from Epic did it for me. Waited since 2013 to buy this on Steam ... but never more than 50% off.

Since then, never bought anything from Steam. And I have a library of 700+ Steam games.

Steam nowadays most titles just giving 50% discount on summer and winter sales.
High discount only appear on their special week sales.

Then some title this winter sales give you 66% discount, if you not buying and keep waiting, sometime on next summer sales, it only give you 50% discount. Some title only give 75% discount once only then next few year it give 50% only so if you miss out that time, you may not able to get good discount anymore.

Some title 66% discount which look quite good. After you bought it, it appear at next month humble bundle.
Some will appear as epic free games week.

Steam losing a lot of good things such as 4 copies bundle, daily special high discount and not even try to give some free games like epic.

Their card price also drop a lot. Last time each summer or winter card can sell for RM0.50 but now less than RM0.15

The best is using touch n go ewallet to buy steam games or top up steam funds.
Every month got voucher discount for steam then when you spend RM10 x 2 times, you can get stamp to claim cash back more.

Steam set a new regional pricing suggestion. MYR recommended game price increase around 30 to 40% ish. Up to game developers to follow the new pricing suggestion. Full table and explanation at steamdb website.

New Steam recommended regional pricing

Shit, our Pasukan Khas Jihad Tangani Inflasi do what?
games 40%?
They say they had success handle the Inflation?
Are they going to tell us because of war, games demand too high so price also increase?
Why MYR so weak and they say MYR weak is not important thing to them? They care export industry only?

Plenty of good classic games on steam that can be had for less than 5 ringgit during sales. There are also regular giveaways on G.O.G, Epic Game Store and Amazon Prime Gaming...

Of course if you want the latest and greatest right here right now, you have to cough up the dough... How can the government control the price of games anyway? They aren't necessities. 🤔

Finally, the regional pricing are just recommendations.

I never buy games at full price on Steam. Mostly @ 75% discount or higher. 😁

Now hard, those good game seldom reach 75% anymore. Most of the time 50% even 3 years pass for that game.
Got 66% then must grab already. Sometime after a year release, they still dare to adjust the price higher than release time. So even after that they give 66% discount, it still cost more than earlier price in 50% discount.
