It may seem that way, but the RSS feed takes all the newest sales, all of which are currently Steam. It is working as intended, there is a lot of Steam sales right now due to the steam sales of course.

I hate Steam, how to filter it out that I get correct deals?

Steam has actually been removed now, as the importer wasn't working correctly.

The sales page is likely being depreciated since it only gets about 0.8% of our total hits, and it's a lot of work to keep it alive for a tiny gain.

If the sales pages is going to be deprecated, how about to release it's source of the backend on ~~GitHub~~ ~~GitLab~~ ~~BitBucket~~ PikaCode or Repo.or.cz ?

We actually run a gitlab for GOL, but it isn't currently open. The current code is a mess and heavily tied to GOL so it probably won't be released as it is.

It seems you definitely buried the Sales page six feet under?

Fine, I'll check out IsThereAnyDeal.com

I did state two months ago the entire page was being depreciated.
