OK, so I'm bored and don't feel like working at the moment, so decided to stir things up a bit by rumor-mongering.

Rumor (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2711515) has it, the sale may start on 6/28...or maybe next week... :D

Just checked and saw that the Summer Sale the last couple of years started on the last Thursday in June, so the 28th does look good...

Sale has started....

We gonna place bets on what will be on sale?


I'm guessing it's about time that Skyrim had a hefty sale price.  Probably a big-name shooter or something, too.  But I'm more concerned with the smaller companies' stuff these days.

^That would be excellent since I just got some credit over at Steam, about 40.00 worth. 40.00 these days goes a long way there, especially during a sale.

I think Skyrim already have had a 25 or a 50% sale. Pretty sure it will have another during the summer sale. All in preparation for the expansion... ^^

I saw these comments listed after a article listing Endless Space's release date being 07-04-12:

Hope releasing during the Steam Summer Sale doesn't hurt their sales.

    Possibly but the extra traffic coming through steam might be beneficial for them.

   If you hadn't heard... the sale apparently starts July 15th and goes through July 23rd this year. The dates were leaked by some indie dev on the SPUF, and then sort-of-corroborated by a few other slip-ups.

    I mean, I guess it's not definite, but it's sounding like that's going to be the case.[/b][/b][/i][/i]

I am not sure my wallet nor my wife is ready for the summer Steam sale.   ;D

Fighting Farmer, I really hope your avatar isn't a fighter. I really, really, really hope she's a hugger.  :o

(Come to think of it, I really really really really hope she's not your wife, daughter or so. Don't mean to offend!)

Fighting Farmer

I may even consider to get married if she would be my wife.

No, its a picture of a NBA cheerleader, believe it or not.

More I think about it, I'll marry her.

I hope she's not a Supersonics -- whoops, I mean Thunder -- cheerleader. I would be apparently required by state law to hate her and throw starbucks coffee on myself.

Greenmangaming has a 25% off everything sale going this weekend.  Use code: 25OFF-ALLTH-EGAME

You can use this as often as you'd like up until it expires. When does it expire? 1100 UTC July 9th 2012 (7am ET 7/9/12).

Personally, I'm not too big a fan of GMG with yet another drm-type wrapper/shell to play their games, BUT, they do sell some games that are Steam-only, so you'll end up with a key that can be activated on Steam.  So, choose/buy wisely...

Toonces

Steam has Wargame: European Escalation on sale for $20 right now, for 20 more hours or so.  I picked it up; if anyone else wants to get it maybe we can try some MP later.
