Steam has started yet another sale. Now, it&#8217;s their Holiday\/Winter sale. After their Autumn sale, and their Summer sale, etc. As usual, find sales for space-based, science fiction themed and great strategy games that are currently on Steam.<\/p>\n<p>With the banalization of sales, since so many are done in such a small time span, one can&#8217;t help but wonder if these are not the real prices. I mean, when the games are at sale. And, when not in sale, the games are actually more expensive than real price! ;)<\/p>\n<p>Pay special attention to &#8220;daily deals&#8221; and &#8220;flash deals&#8221; each day, in which they discount games even further (75% or so). To make sure you receive the maximum discount, you might want to wait until the game you\u2019re interested in becomes available as a daily deal, or then buy it before Jan 5th.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s move on shall we?<\/p>\n<h3>Highly Recommended:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a  href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/212680\" target=\"_blank\">Faster Than Light<\/a> (9.5\/10) [<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/2012\/09\/ftl-faster-than-light-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Review<\/a>] (25% &#8211;
