Steam is also no longer the only player in town. We used to eagerly anticipate the Steam Winter Sale because it was the only way to get really good deals on digital games. Now, we regularly have Steam's competitors either price matching them or even doing better and over more points during the year. I mean, hell, we literally have a new Humble Bundle every single week now. Before, my mindset during this Steam sale would've been, "Oh wow, I better pick that up. It's not going to be that cheap again for ages!" and now it's, "Hmm... I think I'll wait and see if GMG or Amazon mark it down more." or "I bet that game ends up in a bundle eventually."
I don't know how RS was on the 360 but on the PS3 load times were unbearable. If you have a halfway competent PC it makes the game actually playable. 2014 is also much better than vanilla Rocksmith.
They've been doing 4 deals (plus one bonus deal) every 4 hours, but I can't say as I've seen much that's been notable.
The impression I got from looking into it is that it's still very alpha, rough without regular updates etc. Would love a new version of populous but doubt I could handle anything that isn't polished enough to release status yet.
