> [@Skywatcher](#): > > GOG has started their summer sale. Thank you. Got Swat 3 and 4 for less than 10$. Definitely something to check out. It’s the anti-CoD. The police equivalent of Arma; hardcore and deliberate. ---

This thread has mostly outlived its usefulness, given that it was started at a time long ago when big sales were notable and relatively infrequent. Now we’ve literally got hundreds of games on sale every week which is too much to even mention. Edit: 2009 is when this thread started. Crazy. But since lots of people subbed here would probably be interested, I went ahead and created a [summer sale](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20277943) thread. ---

For the people who are subbed I figured I’d mention the [2017 winter sale thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20679002) ---

Bumping to recommend this game which is part of the current “Talk Like a Pirate” sale; it’s like a cross between _Sid Meier’s Pirates_ and _Mount & Blade_ minus former’s the dancing. The publisher licensed the engine from _Warband_. If you get it, be sure to check out the alternate starts mod in the Steam Workshop. https://store.steampowered.com/widget/413710 ---

The Witcher 3 GOTY edition, which includes both10+ hour DLC’s, just dropped to its all time low price. $9.99 I bought it for $14.99 6 months or so again and trust me, it is worth every penny. [On Good Old Games.](https://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_game_of_the_year_edition) ---

Jedi: Fallen Order, one of the better games I’ve played this last year, is now $19.99, it’s all time low. One of the few really great Star Wars games to be released the last few years. - Steam - Epic - Amazon All have it for $20. ---

There are a bunch of 75% off deals, some 70%, some 80%, and a few 90%, but they look all old enough that anyone interested in those games would likely already have them.
