Each year Black Friday has more and more game development deals. Each year it also gets earlier and earlier… Black Thursday, Black Wednesday, you name it and of course they are trying to stretch it out with Cyber Monday. This post is an attempt to capture the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals most relevant to game developers. If you know of a applicable sale I missed on this list, please let me know!
I will edit this list as new deals are located. Have a gamedev deal to announce, email me at [email protected], leave a comment below or in this reddit conversation.
