But the vast majority of your catalog should be running its best discount for the duration of the sale.”<br> <br> Is this the end of insane Steam sales, and the beginning of reasonable sales?<br> <br>  <br> Sponsors:<br> Audible<br> Go to audiblepodcast.com/mmoreporter<br> Harry Potter series now available on Audible.
