Overall, based on what I do see on the autumn sales... looks like I'm more or less right with my prediction.
Very little goes above 75% off, and most of the stuff that even approaches that level of discount are old games, games with poor/mixed reviews, games owned by Valve themselves (which we ignore as it's like them saying "look look! see, still getting awesome deals with the new format! So what if these are all our OLD games!"), and games that have lots and lots of DLC - of which all or most of the DLC is typically not on sale or included.)
Sure, there's going to be some exceptions, but overall... much more blah. I will probably be picking up a couple of game editor progs on Monday... but even that's iffy. Final verdict? Valve's getting a lot less cash out of me this year.
