PayPal has once again outed an upcoming Steam sale before Valve has had the chance to announce it.

While I personally got an email on the matter pertaining to the Black Friday weekend sale, this time, it’s PayPal Japan which has outed the next occurrence of wallet molestation.

[frontovik]

My wallet is not ready.

 

[Dance Inferno]

*steeples fingers*

The waiting game begins.

 

[Zombine]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

 

[brandonh83]

It's that time of the year again where I drop a lot of money on Steam sales and just tell myself that I'll get a proper gaming PC "soon." It's only been happening for the past 4-5 years.

 

[jacobeid]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

Pretty fucked, but make sure to wait for the dailies.

I'm actually good on games but I do hope that You Need a Budget 4 goes on sale.

Wait for Dailies!

 

[SliceSabre]

I still have games from the last winter sale

Spoiler

2 years ago

that I haven't played.

I need to learn some self control for these things.

 

[Salih]

Every year it is the same: I already own every game i want.

 

[thelatestmodel]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

Probably not that fucked because the discounts are just that good. You can get a lot without even spending very much.

 

[kabel]

Not -75% or better? No buy!

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Every year it is the same: I already own every game i want.

That just means you can spend more money on crafting badges!

 

[ashecitism]

Ground Zeroes comes out on the same day, so probably expect it as a daily.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I've saved like no money for this sale. Damn shame.

Spoiler

My Steam wishlist is at 100 games now.

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

So very fucked.

 

[Kid Ska]

Probably sitting this one out, for the most part. I'm more focused on Wii U, and Rebirth eats up all of my PC gaming time.

 

[Giriath_89]

Not again.

 

[bigkrev]

The only thing I bought Black Friday sale was Shadow Warrior for 90% off

I fear this sale will not be as kind

 

[gngf123]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

Pretty fucked.

Just remember to wait until daily or flash sales. Don't buy anything otherwise unless it is the final day of the sale, else you risk the game going for much less the next day.

 

[kabel]

Ground Zeroes comes out on the same day, so probably expect it as a daily.

Reduced on release day?


nah

 

[throwawayname]

Not this year Gabe!

 

[oti]

So Shadow of Mordor for 10€ is a sure thing. Right?

 

[Garou]

It doesn't specify, but since this is a Japanese newsletter the date might actually be the 17th for the US?

 

[abracadaver]

 

[alexandros]

Probably sitting this one out, for the most part. I'm more focused on Wii U, and Rebirth eats up all of my PC gaming time.

Heh. That's what they all say.

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

Awwwww yeahhhhh.

Can't wait to answer, "WILL ___ GO ON SALE?! WILL ______ BE ANY LOWER?!" over and over.

It is a holiday tradition.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

I've actually held on things fairly well since the summer, so hopefully there is some good stuff to pick up. At least Metal Gear is supposed to be that day.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I'm more interested in what crazy metagame they'll have for us this time. Will we be randomly playing games to earn coal, or will it be another case of people effectively spending over $30 for a chance to win three games from their wishlist.

 

[Sentenza]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

[Demon Lizardman]

I smell my wallet burning a hole in itself.

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

Rebirth eats up all of my PC gaming time.

How is Rebirth now? I saw all the launch reviews and have stayed away from it.

 

[DukeBobby]

Ground Zeroes and a Steam Sale on my birthday?

Aw yiss.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

How is Rebirth now? I saw all the launch reviews and have stayed away from it.

I'm assuming he means Isaac and not X.

 

[Samyy]

Limiting myself to just Rise of Nations and Civ 4
Yes limiting myself!

I can do it!...right guys?

 

[oti]

Another opportunity to buy Bad Rats!

 

[Ledhead]

I don't have too much on my radar. I'll pick up This War of Mine if it goes on sale

 

[Twookie]

 

[Zombine]

Come on Borderlands The Pre-Sequel for 75% off. The Thanksgiving sale was weak.

 

[Filben]

My wallet is not ready.

I'm on that train to Nopeville, too.

I can do it!...right guys?

Yeah, sure, rrrrrrright. Search your feelings. Deep inside you know the truth.

 

[Future PhaZe]

im overwhelmed to be honest

might grab mordor and aliens but i swear im done until GTA V after that

 

[ashecitism]

Reduced on release day?


nah

Konami pulled something similar with Rising before. Pre-orders went live with the holiday sale and it got a 33% discount as daily and 15/25% as a regular deal.

 

[CyanideFuse]

I just checked my Steam wishlist. It measures in at 104. Oh ****.

 

[ChryZ]

My WISHLIST (86) is ready, although my wallet not D:

 

[RustySpoon]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

Last year I sold some dota items before the sale and got around $35. With that $35, I got more games than I could play this year. So honestly, you're probably going to be good. Just wait for the dailies.

 

[explodet]

I'm actually good on games but I do hope that You Need a Budget 4 goes on sale.

Why? It's one of the most boring-ass games I've ever played.

Although I will admit I keep playing it at least 2 or 3 times a week for some reason.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I'm so excited.I'm so excited.I'm so excited.

I'm terrified.

 

[CyanideFuse]

This is my first time experiencing the winter sale as I just built my first PC. How fucked in my wallet?

Appreciate your first sale. It is an incredible gaming experience.

Spoiler

You will only end up playing about 10% of the games you buy

Oh, and yes, your wallet is fucked.

 

[Danielsan]

I'll allow myself to spend € 50. I know it's a not going to happen, but I'd love to not buy anything for a change (to my credit, I did not give in during the autumn sale). My backlog is still huge and I'd be better off saving the money. Them deals though...

 

[Dr. Buni]

I only have 18 games on my wishlist. Maybe I will clean it completely this time around.

I actually had like 50 titles on the wishlist but I removed most of them, because I am sure I would likely never finish those games.

 

[MUnited83]

Reduced on release day?


nah

Oh, it will. See how MGS Rising preorder got introduced last winter sale and discounted at 33%off. The same thing will happen now. There's no chance in hell that it doesn't have a discount because they would lose all the exposure they could potentially have. They would get buried by everything else on sale.

European Steam is terrible, I don't know how anyone can buy games from there. US gifters are helpful!
