Since Steam now offers digital products, it qualifies as a "Steam Sale."
You're questioning the purpose of Steam's software sales and its connection to game promotions.
Oh come on, what does it change for you? I'm so tired of people saying "I miss the old [insert something .. anything ..] because it wasn't like this". It's very nice that they sell software, especially the modeling/texturing softwares that can be used to create mods for .. oh wait, for your games! And even if it's music production softwares or whatever, it's still a great deal for people who work with these kind of softwares. There's nothing to be upset about, a pointless and unfounded complaint really.
It seems you're questioning the value of current trends and expressing interest in gaming sales. You also want to know about Assassin's Creed 3 and whether it's a solid choice for beginners.
Steam has been offering software solutions for a long time now...
I agree that if it comes at the cost of less games deals, then I'd rather see them stick to games since that's what the majority of the users are interested in. However, is there any "evidence" at the moment that the video games sales will be less frequent, less important, no as good anymore? This is not a rhetorical question, I'm curious if anything was said/proven about that. ^^
