SALE IS OVER, YOU MISSED IT Gif by Captain Swing. My Steam ID in case you have any suggestions/questions. DAILY DEAL = FLASH DEAL = COMMUNITY DEAL It won't get cheaper if the slot the deal sits in changes, stop asking about that. Join our #steamgoons IRC channel! A wonderful gif by Captain Swing based on my thread original poster: Welcome to the Steam Summer Sale 2013 Thread. Pro-click: http://store.steampowered.com/ Every year Steam has two sales that actually matter and Summer Sale is one of them. Buy dirt cheap games now and buy them hard as the next occasion may not present itself too soon. At the same time wait for the game to become a daily deal. If it never becomes a daily deal you can still buy it on the last day being sure it has not in fact become a daily deal. Let me repeat that one more time. As a wise man once said: A wise man posted:Wait for the game to become a daily deal! homeless snail posted:It's kind of pointless to ask people to make steam sale predictions.

Summer Sale starts July 11th and ends July 21st All the different deals:
This year's METAGAME "But what the gently caress ARE Steam Trading Cards?" Shut up and read: http://store.steampowered.com/promotion/summerfaq/ Mystery Cards have been revealed. All cards updated to specific graphic representing games ( THAT WILL GO ON SALE ): Also POSTCARDS: There are tiny icons hidden in the postcards referring to icons on the larger map in the client's background: Holy poo poo Steam background changes a bit every day and you didn't even notice! The tiny plane moves around the map to different icons representing the leading daily deals and you can kinda predict where it's heading the next day. There are also hidden codes in the postcards that are small pieces of trivia (they all start with SS13 for "Summer Sale 2013"):
When you complete a card set (normal or foil) you can craft a badge in your Profile>Badges menu: When you craft a badge you get: 1.Steam Summer Sale Badge 2. Steam XP 3.Profile background 4.Steam chat smilie 5.A card for another badge 6.A chance for a special postcard You can craft the badge several times for higher levels. The results of crafting will be the same but with more Steam XP each time. How to get more Summer Sale Cards? You can either get one from crafting a badge for a game. You can buy one on the market. You get a chance for a card by voting on Flash Deals. You will also get one for every $10 you spend during sale:

Use this link to just browse Steam games for hidden gems. Our very own Axemaniac has a Steam Shots youtube channel with short but sweet reviews of every new Steam release. If you're not sure about a game there's a huge chance he can give you just enough of an impression to help you make up your mind. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jShmygWl1w Last time there was a big indie sale going on I made a write-up on good indie games under 5€. Here it is:

Did some people's card numbers not change or is my extension just broken? My cards(need to be logged in to see my profile) still have the same ID as before.

The past couple of months of card baroning, praise be to Gaben for his many blessings, have left me armed with a fat wallet for the sale. Gaben is love. Steam is His mighty Church.

I have been both anticipating and dreading this day since the Winter Sale ended. Bring on the deals.

The thing that really gets my goat(se) is that there are a lot of good games either coming or new that I'd like to see sales on, but definitely won't reach 75% off. Like Payday 2, the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, Shadowrun Returns, Deadpool, and Saints Row IV. are you mother fuckers ready for a miracle

I've owned Steam for a couple of years, but it's only been in the past 3-4 months that I've started playing PC games more than my console. I remember the winter sale from this past year, but it was more of a "check every once in a while" rather than a daily habit of following sales. This year I've been eagerly anticipating the summer sale (like we all are) and over the past couple weeks I've been adding items to my wishlist. During the Steam sale, how are you alerted when a game from your wishlist is on sale?

# ? Jul 10, 2013 23:21 |

I'm ready, but I can't imagine this will be as big for me as say a year ago. I already have so many games. I honestly think I might have everything I really want. I'm sure I'll end up seeing a deal I can't pass up though. But I'm going to try and keep it under control this year.

You should receive an e-mail, but every one I got was hours after the sale went live and sometimes I got no e-mail at all.

I am so disturbed now. I may have nightmares. Also did they photoshop him to make him MORE obese looking or is it just like, the effect of the pillow's natural shape?

I'd check as often as possible and even on your cellphone's Steam App/SA App.

You should feel ashamed of yourself for not including Little Inferno as a must buy game.

Engulf yourself in gaben's pillowy mass Can't wait to pick up Don't starve, Rogue Legacy, Unepic; those are my top three right now. Also hoping BL2 season pass goes on for the cheap, but this is gearbox we're talking about so...

Awwww yeah, got my budgeted money put aside in my steam wallet, ready to add to my growing backlog and despair over ever finding the time to play through all these ridiculously cheap games. Life is good.LordNat posted:Anyone think grabbing up some $1 mystery cards is a good investment? No. Nope. Nada. I'm fully prepared to be proven wrong but there is no way in hell I'm paying money for some mystery cards on the off-chance it will be something more than just a unique badge, and I'd be pretty pissed off if whatever Valve's gimmick for this sale might be involves having to pay cash to get at it.
