Steam Summer Sale

[GIBURROWS]

Thanks for ruining my day.

There's some minor rumours about it starting tomorrow, I doubt it however.
It could be to overshadow Windows 8.1 preview since they're against Windows 8

Wasn't it at the end of July last year? I remember being on holiday when it was on and I didn't go away until the 20-something of July.

Last three were

24 June 24 2010
30 June 2011
12 July 2012

I just want to be able to get Dont Starve on sale. I want the game, but dont want to pay full price for it.

 

[MooMoo444]

Buy all the things!

Why not go halfsies with a friend? If they're still doing the free copy thing that is.

 

[Jono8]

It normally waits until i go on holiday to make it as difficult as possible for me to buy anything. So it will be sometime between the 16th and 30th July.

Same here. I though I was the only one after it.

If they are still doing that 2 for 1 thing im in.

That's all im really after in this sale..

I'm actually more interested in seeing what the other big games retailers (GMG etc) do for their sales, it's got to the point where the Steam sales are generally a bit anti-climactic.

Should have started today as it is payday for a lot of people!

Not me. I dont get paid till the last day of the month, unless the last day is on a weekend, then its the Friday.

Come on Steam! Rape my wallet already! It wants it! Its a *****!!

It's good to see other retailers jump on the deep-discount time-limited bandwagon.

Savings = more money to spend on games.

 

[Dauthi]

It usually includes July 4th -independence day. So my guess is next week.

 

[MooMoo444]

Do they usually discount new games? Or just old ones?

 

[Shamikebab]

Feels like it's been ages, did I miss the Easter one?

 

[Craig1981]

Do they usually discount new games? Or just old ones?

Usually both. But newer games tend to get a smaller discount than older games.

 

[V4NT0M]

I reckon 27th June or 4th of July.

 

[FoxEye]

Usually both. But newer games tend to get a smaller discount than older games.

With new games the "discount" tends to only bring them inline with the prices other places are selling for, or often a little bit higher.

For the old games (at least 1.5 years old), the prices can be £5 or so.

During the winter sale Steam was repeatedly outdone by the other digital distributors, even for games that can be activated on Steam.
