Steam Christmas Sale

Scot

Any ideas when the Xmas sale is coming up? If you put a thread on their website asking about this, it promptly gets deleted. Understandable as to why they do this but damn frustrating. I think it started in November last year?

Last year they had an Autumn  Sale from late Nov to early Dec then the Holiday sale from around Dec 20 to first week of Jan.

Hundreds of games on Steam and I will no doubt buy more games I store in my library.  I need help.

Same boat. I have 600 games on steam now, I didn't even want half of them they were just good deals on things I might eventually play some day.

I think the Xmas sale was pretty much the same as the late November one, the deals in both about the same?

There are sales fairly regularly on Steam, still a bit early for christmas though

It's not even Halloween and you're looking for a Christmas sale?

Can't remember the last sale where I actually thought, 'now here are some good offers'...

I try to just keep my wishlist up to date and then wait for emails to tell me an item is on sale. But yeh, I'll probably end up buying more games than I need during the christmas sales.

Personally if i ran the Steem wesbite i woudl be banning anyone asking about xmas sales its not even november. In fact if i ran this website, i woudlnt' just ban people, i would put their picture on the wall of shame!

Let us have autumn before we think about xmas please

Screw that, where's the friggin Autumn and/or Halloween sales?! Also, get Razer Cortex, it tells you when games on your wishlist are on sale even on other sites such as Humble Bundle, BundleStars, IndieGala etc

I am not after the Xmas sale right now, yesterday in fact. A November one will do fine for now.

Halloween Sale has kicked off, spookie treats

I have some Early Access games on my whishlist and seems they will never finish.   At least 2 have almost ceased updates.

The stopped doing the daily sales. A piece of me died on that sad day. Then again, a piece of my wallet sighed in relief.

Before, each day you would have different sales. I used to love that format and was buying stuff like crazy.

Now they have the same sales throughout the whole sale period. They simply highlight some each day.

I never play their early access games just like I never play beta's etc. Unless you simply want to save money and have no intention of paying for it I see no reason to do so. You will pay for the game and feel jaded with play much earlier. I on the other hand come in fresh, get the full features and have a much better game experience.

Now having an Autumn sale, so that's two end of year so far. Got to be a Xmas one as well mind you.

yea 13,697 titles on sale @ Steam right now...........

Yup, was having a look during my lunch break, all 18 games on my wishlist are discounted by at least 33%. 

Gonna hurt my wallet a bit I think, especially as I had to buy a new car this month and xmas next month......but screw it, cheap games! Am thinking Anno 2070 as it's only £4 or Grey Goo for £6. 

I keep getting tempted with TESO too, gold edition is £20 which sounds pretty decent, but then I remember I hated the combat and questing when I was in beta. 


I wish there were more RPGs about that I liked. I don't enjoy CRPGs or ones with too much focus on story but those seem to be the norm these days. Anyone got any good recommendations? Preferably open world like Morrowind, or something with deep combat like FF7/8/9.

Lately they have rotating sales fairly regularly.  

I now usually don't pre-purchase games most of the time the quality isn't there and it's usually a year before they get it to the point it should have been at launch.

Oh my...  I think I may have already earmarked my end of year homeowners insurance refund check...  Need to check on my wishlist!

All of my short wishlist are at 40% or more off. Although only three of them are looking at me with puppy dog eyes.  Wasteland 2, XCOM: Enemy Within and Homefront the Revolution.  COD Modern Warfare 2 is peeking around the corner.  I'll take another look Monday and see if they are still so appealing.
