The two warring PC stores have begun their Christmas sales and they're offering £10 off every purchase until January.
Steamville Holiday Market has opened for business, which is Valve's rather twee way of saying that their Steam winter sale has begun.
As well as just cheap games there's a whole meta thing going on with Festivity Tokens to earn, which you can then trade for money-off vouchers and stuff like chat stickers and emoticons.
You get 131 Festivity Tokens for every £1 you spend and you need 5,000 tokens to get £3.80 off your next purchase. Which seems… complicated.
You can also earn 100 tokens by completing a Steam quest, which involves thinks like adding games to your wishlist or joining a group chat room.
Frankly, it all sounds like too much hard work to us, but at least you get an automatic £10 off when you sign into your account at the moment, for anything costing £13.99 or more. And then another £10 off once you make another purchase, ad infinitum until 2 January.

The Epic Game Store's store also has a gimmick, although it's not quite as convoluted.
They'll be giving away a free game every day for the next 12 days, starting with the superb strategy game Into The Breach, which we strongly advise everyone go and download this instant.

Epic also has a coupon system that works exactly the same as Steam, so you get a $10 coupon for logging in (we're guessing that translates to £10 here, but the Epic store still struggles with the concept of other countries outside of America) and then another one when you make a purchase.
That cycle will continue until 1 January or until you're a penniless waif, whichever happens first.
