There are a bunch of games on that list that I don't own, and which I'm not even buying at 90% discount. I'm not saying that Celeste or Assetto Corsa are bad games, but they are games of genres I don't enjoy. I simply don't like platformers and racing games. Things get a little more complicated with games like Middle-Earth: Shadow of War: I played the predecessor Shadow of Mordor for 31 hours, ultimately didn't really enjoy it all that much, and consequently never finished it. Even at $1.99 I don't need a sequel.

The other half of the games on the list I do own. And for many of those, I can only recommend them at that price. I played over 100 hours of Borderlands 2, and that is without me actually being good at shooters. Even with me recently posting what I don't like about The Witcher III, I would still argue that if you like action RPGs, you should try it out at this price.

Where the deep discount list gets a bit embarrassing is the Steam pile of shame: Games that I do own, like Disco Elysium or Frostpunk, and where I do believe that they are good games, but I just never got around to playing them. Why did I buy these games, usually at an "interesting" discount like half price, if now they are 90% off and I still haven't played them? Some would argue that I am a victim of Steam manipulative sales tactics, but more realistically I simply lack self-control.

In the end I didn't buy a single game on the deep discount page (although I did buy Bomber Crew for $1.99 at 90% off). I basically already owned all the games on the page that I have any chance of ever playing. The games I don't own, I don't own for a good reason. If I was less set in my ways, I could buy a game of a genre that I never tried, like Euro Truck Simulator 2. But given how many games I have where I am more certain that I will enjoy them, and still can't get around to playing them, that is maybe not such a good idea.
