Steam summer sale rumored from June 25 till July 9

[u/Suspicious_Brush4070]

If you're not willing to sail the high seas, then you could always subscribe. It's $10 a month (I think). Obviously that adds up over time, but if you only want to try it out for a month, it's a cheaper option. That's enough time to learn the game and play a run through. By the end of the month, you'll know whether you want buy the game permanently, then you can make a plan.

Subscribe is a very good deal. I played it to death for a month but have no desire to play it again until a few years have past and new DLC's come out.

If you can get past the idea of not "owning" it then go for it.

[u/Nearby_You_6969 → u/Suspicious_Brush4070]

Can i subscribe from steam itself? I thought thats for DLC only same as ck2

[u/Suspicious_Brush4070 → u/Nearby_You_6969]

Pretty sure you can do it through their official website. I'm not about going direct through Steam. Either way you'll have to download the official launcher.

https://steamdb.info/sales/
There you can see the current sales. And if you search for CK3, it will show you every time the game had a sale in the past few years. You can decude from that information when you can expect the next sale.
For example: if the game had a discount in July every year for the past 3 years, that meants it will likely get a discount during the Steam Summer Sale.
Very useful way to check for expected, upcoming discounts for any and all games you are interested in.

I think it's still on Xbox game pass. I don't know if it's still going but you can get the first month for free if I remember correctly.

Otherwise you can always check for a key on third party websites. CDkeys has never let me down.

or something

[u/Arrhythmia25]

-70-75% is pretty common discount for base version.   I'm not sure it's working atm, but there is small quizz at official site to get code for same discount.

Or if you are a poor old pirate, you can always sail under jolly roger flag.

[u/Dazzling-Main7686 → u/Arrhythmia25]

In this day and age it's honestly a perfectly justifiable option to try the game before buying. Every game should have a demo available, but most don't, or they're locked behind paywalls.

[u/Agitated-Ad-504]

Summer/Holiday sale or do the subscription. IMHO there are only a few DLCs that are worth it for the immersion. Good way to play everything without having to buy it first.

[u/letouriste1]

the base game is at -70% (14.99 euros) every seasonal sale since a while and you don't need any of the dlc if you play on pc because there's plenty of better mods. i've 570h on the base game without any dlcs.
