As we told you yesterday, the summer sales on Steam have begun and that means nothing more than usual: lots of games with more or less juicy discounts which we can inflate our library so that we may one day bury our teeth in them.

Things as they are: in a few decades, we have moved from paying for games at unsustainable prices to the pockets of young addicts, to having much, much more on our side than we can swallow if we do not focus solely on intervening. button, something that is not healthy or accessible to everyone.

Whether it’s for any reason, whether it’s driven by a wise selection and wait process, or by accumulating a spurt, we continue to happily buy games and take advantage of any new sales or discounts that appear as if they were. single action. When the truth is that sales are constant throughout the year.

Not only that: although it is true that seasonal sales are wild, not a day goes by that they do not play with sales or discounts. That’s why choosing and waiting is usually better – having a careful “wish list” to go – than going crazy to see what we’re hunting for. For economic reasons, but also for the fundamental thing: with such a large offer, it is worth choosing what to spend time on.

But what letter am I dropping, just to say at the Humble Store they are also for sale and always have a higher price than those on Steam or almost any other site, especially if your reference platform is Steam. Why? For several reasons:

• These are very similar sales, both for the level of discounts and for games that are discounted, although the Steam catalog is larger.
• In addition, they are similar, often coinciding in time, offering the same or almost identical discounts.
• When they do not overlap, they are practically consecutive.
• When you shop at the Humble Store, a small portion of what you spend goes to charity.

Aren’t you convinced of these benefits to sell the Humble Store before the Steam sale? The two who come will do it, and all the games you buy at the Humble Store, read the Humble Bundle, are available for download independently, without its implementation linked to a specific software client. And if you don’t trust the store to one day close the door and leave you without games, you can download them and store them elsewhere.

It’s true that at a time when games are receiving regular updates, it may sound bad to stick to a particular version of them, but at least in theory, if platforms like Steam or the Epic Games Store close their doors tomorrow, the world would be everything. they left without their games because they are tied to the service. Nothing more, nothing less. Although we’ll see if they regulate it, because it’s not.

But not only in the Humble Bundle you can access to download all the games you have purchased at any times -then if they closed, you would be left without this option-, but you can download them and save them yourself, as I indicated. From time to time, you can only stop if they have updated any of the games in your collection.

But the fact is that of all the games, you are offered games that you buy in the Humble Bundle, in addition to downloading, the key to register on Steam, so in practice it’s almost the same to buy them on one page or another, except for the Steam points you earn. If you care a lot about me, you may not care so much. Otherwise… better in the Humble Store!

What sales are you celebrating now in the Humble Store? “Freedom of DRM” with discounts of up to 90% on many titles India. This is actually another of the attractions of buying in this store: many games are sold without DRM, and therefore without the restrictions of the program.
