This sale is rather poor (which is good for me because I wasn't looking to buy much this time). Lot's of indie/early access titles being peddled as the featured games.
Brothers is a great game if you have a controller.

It's a little more complicated than that. Like Planetary Annihilation, Galactic Civ's high price tag is attributed to their kickstarter price. It cost backers $100 to get into the Gal Civ alpha so when they put the game up on Steam they had to charge that much in order to not piss off their original backers.
I mean if you read their Steam page it's tells you everything you need to know.

How long will this game be in Early Access?
“Galactic Civilizations III will be in Early Access until May 2015, according to our current schedule (which is of course subject to change). However, the existing Alpha will become Beta in late summer 2014, which will coincide with two things: the game being something approaching fun, and a price drop to the regular $49.99.”

So ya, maybe wait a couple months and pick it up at half the price it is now.
