Now that we're past the summer solstice, it's time for us to announce the Steam Summer Sale! Starting this Thursday at 10am Pacific, check out thousands of sunny discounts, a brand new set of (seagull!) stickers, new profile goodies, and the return of the cat. See you Thursday!​

[Dacvak]

I’m glad I sold my Steam Deck.

Spoiler

Now the temptations will be marginally smaller.

 

[IDKFA]

Long live the King

 

[Skifi28]

Can't remember the last time I actually bought something on steam. Third party stores usually have better prices all year-round.

 

[Arsic]

Time to get all these hentai games steam keeps recommending even though I filtered for it to never show them to me.

Clearly Gaben wants me to jack off senseless on my steam deck with a harem full of Chinese cartoon porn.

GAF needs a crying emoji.

How could you part with it? I’ve been playing mine nonstop since I got it in February. I’m seriously considering skipping Switch 2 (assuming FOMO doesn’t happen).

I absolutely despised the screen. Once the OLED came out, I sold my original with the intention to buy the OLED model. I just haven’t gotten around to buying one since I haven’t had a ton of time to game lately.

 

[Chukhopops]

Hoping for some good discounts on NIS / Atlus games. I want to play some dungeon crawler for the summer vacation.

 

[Gp1]

Time to pay for Gabe´s Ozempic guys;

I'm ready.

If the discount isn't good, you can try System Shock Remake, it should be going on sale for around 50% off.

 

[KeepThemEyesOpen]

To be more broke or less broke...That is the question.

 

[SGRU]

I have 200 bucks ready for this.

 

[Dacvak]

If Balatro gets any sort of discount and you’re on the fence, definitely grab it. That game is already more than worth the price.

 

[Draugoth]

AAA games at a discount cant beat the ammou of meat beating for $0.99 a game

 

[Zathalus]

It’s the same discounts you basically get all the time and can be had year round thanks to key sellers. Nothing to get excited about.

 

[Magic Carpet]

wishlist still need.
New Riven remake game
No Rest for the Wicked (no one on Gaf is talking about this or I accidentally put the threads on ignore)
Eriksholm
Avatar Pandora has already been on sale for quite a while $41.99.

 

[Wildebeest]

15% off that one game you wanted that is 50% off on key resellers. Please be excited.

 

[T4keD0wN]

New deep discount category, interesting. Could it be theyve finally noticed the complants about the sales not being as good as theyve used to be?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Looking to pick up Prototype 1 and 2 so I can look at them in my library and imagine playing them some day.

 

[kruis]

[JayK47]

Time sure flies when you are playing all your free games on Epic. The few games I do buy on Steam are still in my queue, so I really do not think I am ready for another Steam sale.

 

[Dthomp]

I miss years and years and years ago when Steam sales were actually good and not just 10-15% off of stuff.

 

[Bry0]

Remember the FOMO daily sales? I was like an addict.

 

[jshackles]

Long live the King

Judging from recent photos, he's still got some life left in him

 

[Sanepar]

$500 ready to buy games for next half of year.

 

[demented waffle]

Old Steam sales? Wallet's anus puckers.

New Steam Sales? Wallet goes meh.

Some of us like to support the developers when purchasing our games. Buying from a key seller doesn't achieve that.


Others have Steam gift cards they received as gifts or whatever that they are ready to burn through.


Others still are looking for games that key sellers don't have access to (Half-Life: Alyx, many VR games, etc..)


etc.. etc.. lots of reasons to be excited for this sale.

For what it's worth, "key sellers" is a broad umbrella term that covers places like Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, or Humble Store which all source their keys directly from the developers. If you buy a key from one of these shops, the developers get paid. In fact, depending on the store and the sales volume, they usually get a bigger percentage cut than selling on Steam. This is how they can discount games more heavily on these sites while still making approximately the same amount in most cases.

 

[Fahdis]

Aaahhh, Im excited. You may not need to pick up anything. But the summer and winter sales make me feel cozy af.

 

[Celcius]

I just want Capcom to take my money for the Marvel vs Capcom collection

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I just want Capcom to take my money for the Marvel vs Capcom collection

I'm not even a fighting fan and I'm going to try to get the physical for Switch

 

[RoboFu]

Ehh cloud saves is a must for me.

 

[Jesb]

These sales suck ass but I got $60 in my steam wallet to use.

 

[Skifi28]

Ehh cloud saves is a must for me.

Moat third party stores sell steam keys anyway.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

are these hentai game even good games?

 

[hemo memo]

I’m ready.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I’m ready.

I am too

 

[R6Rider]

I reached a point sometime last year where I had bought most titles I had on my Wishlist and all of them for discounted prices over the years. The vast majority being older titles, but now it seems the only games left on my list are ones that never go on sale.

Essentially reached a "caught up" point on titles.

 

[Guilty_AI]

They may or may not have good stories.

Some have pretty good soundtrack too

 

[Wildebeest]

The keys come from the developers and steam doesn't take a cut of that money. Probably the biggest source of keys being dumped on the market and driving down prices is them being an unwanted item in a humble bundle.

 

[Topher]

Ehh cloud saves is a must for me.

The keys are redeemed on Steam so that's not an issue.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

I miss the args with the silly web games that went along with the flash sale era. I am a sucker for those freebie chat stickers nobody uses, though.

 

[bender]

I'll be curious to see how this pans out:

New to the sale this year: A selection of extra-deep discounts you'll want to peruse for especially good deals.

Steam sales have certainly lost their event status with all the offsite key sales, but that also disqualifies you for one of Steam's best features in refunds. Though I guess you can game the system and have the best of both worlds.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Humble Bundle is legit

 

[badblue]

I’m glad I sold my Steam Deck.

Spoiler

Now the temptations will be marginally smaller.

I wish I had a Steam Deck. I'd probably be playing my backlog on it rather then buying new games
