6 games to buy during Steam’s Women’s Day Sale
polygon.comMarch is Women’s History month, and to celebrate, investment group Wings Interactive has put together a Steam sale that celebrates games made by gender-marginalized developers. Data shows that investors, who fund game development, are failing developers from marginalized backgrounds. This is where you come in. Buying and playing games from these creators is a way that players can support individual developers.
There are a whole bunch of games, across lots of different genres, available for purchase at discounts. Looking for a puzzle game? Role-playing adventure? A shooter or strategy title? Here are six games to play from the Women’s Day Steam Sale, which runs through March 10 at 1 p.m. EST. Best of all, many of them will run great on the Steam Deck.
