The Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2021 lasts until February 15th, 10 AM Pacific / 6 PM UTC. See more on the Steam store.
Also don't forget that Paradox Interactive also have their own sale with Cities: Skylines currently free to play, and DRM-free store GOG are also doing a huge sale.
Quoting: pageroundWitcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY is $10 USD on Steam, GOG, and Humble. Seems lie a good time to pick it up if you have been waiting for a sale.
Funnily enough, that's what I've been considering. I vastly favour buying native Linux titles, but if the game is sufficiently discounted, I'll buy it to play with Proton.
Quoting: mark348Divinity 2 is at a great price too
Does it run well in Proton?

Runs perfectly for me, have been playing it with local coop with my daughter on and off for about 30 hours or so. See one-time "fix" in ProtonDB that you need to apply.

At $11.59 (CAD), it's the lowest price Steam has had it. And I think Steam is the only platform with the native Linux version.
See more from me
