Third-Party Steam Sales This Week (19 January)

One of Valve's recent changes to their videogame selling platform Steam is the capability for developers and publishers to create their own themed sales. These third-party events give these entities the control, offering them a unique Steam page for them to link back to and all sorts of epic tools (essentially working as a first-party sale, with room for demos, upcoming titles, and more).

One problem this didn't solve, however, is the over-saturation of the market, where it's difficult to know what's happening and when. With so many teams jumping at the possibility to do this, it means that there are hundreds of games on sale at the same time outside of key events, but it also means that it's hard to know these specific third-party ones.

So, here are all of the Steam third-party events that started this week, including some information for you to know more:
