am i the only one who waits for it to go onsale but it never did? i saw it was on sale on steam few times this year (also last year)

According to: [url=https://isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=risk+of+rain#/page:game/price?plain=riskofrain]https://isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=risk+of+rain#/page:game/price?plain=riskofrain[/url],

the last time it was on sale was 2 years ago.

So, recently it seems there has been no sale for this game.

Edit: I tried to edit this but I think hyperlinking might be broken on the forum.

I bought it on 15-06-2016 for € 2.19 as part of the SUMMER SALE 2016.

This is one of the few games I actually got while full price. And I do not regret it one bit! I have put in so many awesome hours into this game! :D

That's what happened when I just pasted the url. It added tags. Maybe I need to update Barefoot Essentials or "Chrome".

There are special characters in the link that need dealing with, including each and every time you edit or reply to the post. Remember? :)

Even without the tags? Just pasting the bare links?

Last Sale for it was Fall Sale of 2016. It's one of 53 titles currently in the catalog that haven't been on sale since 2016.

Well, if you post the full URL (including the "https://"), the forum software will detect it as a URL and automatically add the URL tags, copying the problematic URL into the proper place in the process. This causes it to effectively fuck up the link while thinking it's helping you. ;)
if you just want to post a link as plaintext, I think omitting everything before the actual domain (isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=risk+of+rain#/page:game/price?plain=riskofrain) should generally work.

There's also some trick regarding using quotation marks around URLs within link tags. I think it only works to preserve "forum-safe" URLs (i.e., ones that have already had any troublesome special characters replaced with their corresponding HTML codes), keeping the forum software from permanently converting such codes back into the trouble-making characters they replaced. I haven't really done any trial-and-error with it yet, though.

Well that sucks, but okay. Delete the https stuff. Got it.

dont worry, OP. Considering amount of bugs (some of them lead to crash) and dev's stance ("this game was made by student, so we wont fix anything. Deal with it") regarding them, you miss nothing - as person, who bought this game (on steam) back in days when it received updates, I cant call it a "worthy purchase".
