A popular subreddit like /r/gamedeals is a good place to find game deals. In the BAPCS Canada subreddit, game deals are forbidden except for free games.

However, since the other game deals community are smaller/less active, would it be a good idea for this community to be a place to share Steam/Epicgames/Prime Games deals? Should there only been free games (like the subreddit), or is any discount okay?

Not sure about GoG and other platforms, but happy to hear thoughts on those as well.

I can see the appeal but I think it could make this place a target for getting lots of spam/marketing stuff. I don't want this place to be flooded with tons of tiny indie company putting on a 10% sale specifically so as to post here. It might be too small for that now, but it might not be like that forever.

That's a very good point. Do you think we should also stay away from free promos (aside from big game on epic games shared on the subreddit)?
