How To Get The Best Promotion When Steam Summer Sale?
At this time, the issue surrounding the date of the implementation of Steam Summer Sale is busy discussed in various media. Some of the news averaged the source of the leaked twitter paypal and there is also a prediction of the site when is the Steam Sale.
Both show the date of 23 or 24 June this year as the date of the start of Steam Summer Sale. So this week we need to prepare ourselves and a thick wallet to get the best discount promotion on Steam.
In order to wait for Steam Summer Sale promotion which will start soon, here are some ways to maximize your game shopping efficiency in the near future.
Plan for expenditures by referencing alternative games of the preferred genre
The following tip may not be a public secret, because in fact this is the basic thing you need to do to find out which games are good and are getting a discount on Steam. The easiest way to enrich your referrals is to keep up with the news of the game, read reviews, and watch videos scattered on YouTube.
Planning an alternative game arguably a kind of backup your target game that has the same genre. Imagine an example of such a case: you are targeting a modern military shooter game like ARMA III in Steam. But because the price is still less affordable, you can still have fun with other shooter games that can be an alternative such as Insurgency or Operation Flashpoint.
Having a reference about alternative games can be spelled out is quite important because indirectly you have a second option in shopping games. If the main game you want apparently does not get a significant discount, do not hesitate to buy alternative games of your choice that could be more affordable.
Power use the wishlist feature as a discount reminder
Yes ,,, other than as a discount reminder, did you know that the wishlist feature in Steam also serves as a "code" for your friends so they know what game you really want? This is not something new, but actually that's the main essence of wishlist utility is not it?
This one feature will give you a notification when the game you want is getting a discount. The way to activate it is quite easy. You just click the "add to your wishlist" button and as soon as there is a recent price change, you just check it in the inbox.
On a normal day besides Steam Summer Sale, a wishlist notification that goes into your inbox is usually a discounted game like Daily Deal, Midweek Madness, and Weekend Deal. So you do not have to hesitate to enter the game you want into this list.
Fill balance of Steam and install Steam mobile app on smartphone
This third tip is a follow up of the two things I have described before. Given that there are already so many Steam Wallet recharging methods, I suggest that you choose safe, secure Steam Wallet purchases instead of offering low prices. Buying balances through sellers offering cheap prices can sometimes not guarantee the security of your transactions and accounts, so be careful.
Fill the balance of Steam Wallet can also with mobile phone pulse or via Alfamart outlets nearby
The next step is to download the Steam mobile app as a second access window when not near the computer. With this, you will be able to monitor the promotion of any game that is being scattered on Steam and directly buy it with the rest of your Steam Wallet balance.
The wishlist feature I mentioned earlier will be even more useful if you also download the Steam app to your Android or iOS device. If the games from the wishlist you come enliven the price promotion in Steam, you will receive the notice directly on the smartphone and can buy it whenever and wherever you are.
Yes, this is a disease that average attacks PC gamers when Steam Sale arrives. Whether we realize it or not, we are sometimes impulsive when we see a game sold at a very cheap price. This is true in all game discount promotions and not just in Steam Summer Sale only.
When you buy a game, make sure to also adjust to your financial condition. Should buy games need not be excessive because it will impact on your cash flow over the next few weeks. Surely you do not want to spend weeks enjoying the meal of warm rice and soy sauce instead is not it?
Stacking games that you know will never play at all is tantamount to spending money on unnecessary things. Although cheap, but with the same expenses you can actually use the money for other things such as saving, home installments, health insurance costs, dowry, and many others.
Through this paper, I hope you can be more efficient and planned in the face of the upcoming Steam Sale discount waves. Be a smart and careful buyer. Do not be tempted by large numbers accompanied by the percent symbol.
Maximize your Steam game collection, minimize your spending, and happy shopping. So many of my posts on this occasion, may be useful to me personally and also to all friend Steemians.
