There is something magical in savings. The word “save” has an innate sense of warmth, comfort, and meaning. Doubly so in games, where “save” means a great deal for data preservation, but also is analogous with progress and a nebulous sense of safety. A game saved is a game that is distinctly less at-risk. So, looking across a sea of savings, it can be hard not to also equate that with all the right warm fuzzies.
Anyway, philosophical meanderings aside, here’s the best gaming deals currently about:
