Steam Store Summer Fun Highlighted and Clarified #UPDATED!
It's just how things work, folks. People grab games on the spot during Steam sales.
I believe that the current results are this way because one time wins because it had the most people interested in a certain day of sale of a game or certain games and then the next day the games on sale might not interest them or they're low on funds or just waiting for another game to come on, i personally haven't spent anything yet and i'm still waiting for games i'd be interested in getting to pop up but the point is that i don't think everyone is buying a handful of games each day of the sale (unless you're new to steam!). If teams were split evenly i think each team would win equal amounts of time since everyone has a finite amount of cash and a finite wishlist of games they want to get. So basically, let's say each team had and equal amount of cash to spend during the sale. When purple team won first day they're now the poorest, with red still being the richest since they were last. 2nd day red won because most were interested with the games on sale and just so happened to be the richest. 3rd day green wins because they just like red, they came last the previous day so they spent the least, they see good deals they all go for it. So really its just a matter of how big each team's wallet is (because it is finite) and everyone on each team does have a finite wishlist which they may or may not dent depending heavily on their budget/wallet. Once each team has used up all their money or has no more items on their wishlist of course they're going to lay back and just enjoy the games they got and probably avoid getting any more games from the sale
I'm intrigued by how the green team achieved such a significant lead.
I'm waiting for Blue team to have a substantial lead, and then I'll contribute. Not before. Not after. I'm pretty sure that's what most people are doing. Hence, why it's settled down to the point of 1 team having a huge lead, and the other 4 all sitting back with relatively equal points in comparison. Why should I waste my cards helping blue team lose again? Also, yes, I'm sure each team is going to win at least one day. Especially as the members of other teams exhaust their badges/cards/funds winning days before. I'm guessing during the last days of the sale, the margins between teams will be very low, and so will the overall point pools. I doubt we'll see any team winning by over 100,000 points during the last few days.
