Steam Summer Sale 2012 (July 12 - July 23) Official Thread - Page 4

Chris McMahon · 29th June 2012, 10:20 AM

I'd say with the weekend deal just announced, the possibility of the sale starting tomorrow is pretty low now.

The next most likely start is 4th July (US time) like in 2010, IIRC.

4th of July themed sale will have the Americans going crazy.

Pitty I was really hoping it would start today/tomorrow as I have the week off between changing jobs next week. I was planning on actually bothering with their achievements this time around since I finally have time to kill.

Well, looks like June 30 has come and gone. There's July 4th coming up, 2010's start date and July 12th seems to be popular on the Steam forums.

12 more days?

Looks like Amazon might drink Steam's milkshake.

Luckily Amazon has a good manager who watches out and competes with other sales instead of relying on complete ignorance (EA).

gregpolk · 30th June 2012, 4:27 PM

EA did have a small sale with some significant discounts.

Hehe.

It seems steam does not want to be too predictable, eh? They might do it a week or two late.

For this sale (if it does go on) I might able to get people games from the russian store. Just check the prices using /?cc=ru. Won't be able to guarantee you won't need a vpn to play some games but it shouldn't be too hard to find

I just hope the Kingdoms of Amalur + DLC goes for $30 like it did on Gamersgate, I don't want the Origin versions (though I'll probably get them for free on Origin when I sign into the game on Steam anyway)

Do not try to bend the sale — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no sale.

Neither are my hard drives

Do want Vegas Ultimate Edition!!
