If you were to look outside my window right now, you might scoff at the idea that anything containing the word "Summer" could be just a month away. And yet, according to the Steam page on Russian social network VK, the Steam Summer Sale will begin on June 11.

Let's be honest, most of us own all the 'big' games that usually go on sale. It's going to be a disappointment as usual.

Quote from: Esch on May 29, 2015, 02:43:49 PM

recent sales have been garbaggio but hopefully i can get my hands on Cities:Skylines to help plug the gaping hole in my heart

You could've got it for $20 from GreenManGaming at launch.

This is pretty true. People need to stop going "OMG SALES SUCK" because they own a lot of the big titles that get decent sales at the time. Not our fault you haven't played them yet.

Bebpo · « **Reply #5 on:** May 29, 2015, 05:19:17 PM »

Yup, very true. Or get them for free in Nvidia deals

studyguy · « **Reply #6 on:** May 29, 2015, 05:35:26 PM »

If you're new the the PC game then the sales are

If you've been around for a good minute, then maybe you pick up like a fourth string title on your wishlist bench.
The kind of game that prob wouldn't make it in normally but you feel the need to pad your roster anyway, but either way you doubt it'll get any playtime.

Didn't own a pc that could run it then

First rule of PC club: You always buy the games you think you want.
Second rule of PC club: You always buy the games you think you want despite the requirements.
Third rule: Because you can always go to it a year later with upgrades and THEN play it.

Chances are Cities will have a good discount anyway, Paradox usually have great deals during sale periods since they try to launch DLC near them

Yep.

They added some skus with the online money so it bumps up the msrp of the game and with the 25% discount its still at 59.99

Also removed the SKU which is just the game as well

Regarding the prices earlier like GTA V, Steam Spy was tweeting out a whole bunch of games that had their prices suddenly increased right as the summer sale started and they went on sale.

Quote

Steam Spy ‏@Steam_Spy Jun 11
Yeah, it looks like Gaijin raised prices for two of their WarThunder packs before Summer Sale

Steam Spy ‏@Steam_Spy Jun 11
Now, that's some creative arithmetic here, Rockstar.

Grand Theft Auto was 59.99 and now with 25% discount it's 56.23? Seriously?

Tabletop Simulator was $14,99 before Summer Sale, then suddenly it is $19,99 with 33% discount http://steamspy.com/app/286160

Steam Spy ‏@Steam_Spy Jun 11
Wolfenstein: The New Order was $44,99, now it's $59,99 with 50% discount http://steamspy.com/app/201810

Steam Spy ‏@Steam_Spy 20h20 hours ago
Alone in the Dark: Illumination was $29.99, now $34.99 with 14% discount (same $29.99) http://steamspy.com/app/275060

Steam Spy ‏@Steam_Spy 20h20 hours ago
DarkStar One was $7.99, now it's $9.99 with 85% discount http://steamspy.com/app/12330

He had SpeedRunners listed but the devs responded to him that they had announced a price bump a while ago due to the content they added to the game and it was just a coincidence.

Quote

Subterrain was $11.99, now it's $14.99 with 34% discount

The Masterplan was $14.99, now it's $19.99 with 25% discount

The Age of Decadence was $24.99, now it's $29.99 with 25% discount

Those along with the above were all the ones he tweeted out. I've seen others before where I've gone "I think that was cheaper two weeks ago in the Monday sales at the same 75% off..."

Enhanced Steam lets you see the lowest price and you can click on that to pop up a graph to see the price changes:

Worst part about the monster game was that there was no boom period right at the start, cards only went up to like 25 cents. They used to shoot up to like a dollar right at the start of these types of things and if you could pump em out before the bust it'd make up for the rest of the period where they got you basically nothing.

Gods Will Be Watching is a minimalistic “point and click thriller” centered on despair, commitment, and sacrifice as players face intriguing puzzles and tough decisions that will affect their entire crew’s wellbeing.

I think I might take a punt on this just to lulz at amateurish grimdark.

They un-fucked that game significantly in an update. If I remember it right, a lot of the outcomes to your choices were kind of random, so progressing anywhere was frustrating.
