Sorry if this is a stupid question or if it's been asked before, but here goes.
I'll get random emails periodically informing me that a title is "Now Available on Steam" and I think back to myself like, "hasn't this been on Steam for a long time already?" and I'll like check my wishlist and the game is already in my wishlist. For example, I just got an email about a game called 20XX now being available.
Is it that these titles are maybe early access and I get the email when they are out of early access, like the official launch?
Does Steam just randomly do this in hopes of generating spontaneous sales?
Also, while I'm thinking about it, I'll also get emails from Steam telling me, "An Item on your Wishlist is on Sale!" or whatever the verbiage is they use, and when I look at the email it's usually for a game NOT on my wishlist and they all seem to be "Free to play" games.
That seems oddly underhanded.
I don't know much about Steam's business practices.
