When isn't it a good time for a sale? Usually the first to climb up the hills to fetch a hefty basket of discounts, GOG seemingly waited for the dust to settle around Steam's 6PM Winter Sale watershed before throwing their hat into the ring.
Pulling off the dad jokes to rope in the customers, GOG's big Winter extravaganza earned itself the cute Goodbuy 2016 moniker. You can't pass up a good pun.
As you can expect from Steam's closest rival, the discounts are out in abundance. Only here they're don't typically buckle under the weight of proverbial feet stampeding through the entrance only to be greeting to "Savings of up to 0%!" that Steam has comically played off before. Here, we're looking at offerings of up to 90% from anywhere between modern classics to golden oldies or, in the case of remasters, a little bit of both.
Picking up Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 this month? You get to punch Frieza again!
This year's smash-hit farming simulator (no, not that one) highlighting the first day of deep discounts at 33% off with Owlboy receiving a lesser 20% and Stunt Island seeing just 10%. Of course, it's a little unfair to go off the lower end of the deal spectrum. The newer the title, the less of a discount you'll see. It's natural. Age of Decadence lands at 75% off with an aforementioned classic in The Saboteur sitting at 67%.
For all intents and purposes, through the miracle of Christmas, Stardew Valley is actually £0.03 cheaper on Steam currently. We can't cross-reference everything, but it's worth noting prices do differ across the marketplaces. Make informed decisions!
