Other than keys that redeem on steam that I've gotten on Humble to give away in discord I can't remember when the last time I bought a game on steam was.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they grey market? I think they sell keys from retail boxes from cheaper regions i.e. not intended for you probably. Not a scam like G2A, but still not the nicest gesture towards the dev/publisher. So buying authorised like through Steam would support the dev the most.
Halloween is focused on horror games only. Autumn and Holiday are the same but Autumn usually has less games on sale. If there's something on sale on Autumn, it's usually safe to buy unless there's a Holiday mini-game that the money would count towards in some way.
No, it made it better. Worst case you had to wait until the end of a sale to see if a game you wanted to buy is discounted 75% instead of 50%. Now you can buy it and start playing the first day.
I'm buying plenty of games at 75% off or more, so that's not really true. It's certainly less annoying now since you won't run into a situation where you'd have paid less if you've just waited for a completely random time (like when being asleep).
Yeah that's the highlight of them for me, finding out about stuff in the hidden gems threads because those are the only times people tend to talk about them regularly. Last holiday sale I discovered Copy Kitty and it was one of my favorite games of the last year.
