Why does Steam have so many sales?

Question

I always wondered this since the first day I used Steam. I mean really what is the point of have a sale everyday? I'm fine with it, but I want an idea of why Valve would do something like that.

Answer 1

I think it's to get people away from console games and digital downloads and draw more attention to their own selection.

Answer 2

Exactly what lanfan said. More sales=more TAKE MY MONEY!

Answer 3

Because if they have a lot of sales, more people will want to buy things just because it's a sale and it costs less. It's a lot better than having a ton of really expensive games and not having as many people buy them because they're so expensive

Answer 4

because it makes people foam at the mouth and turn them into

Answer 5

Because they are selling your mom
