Steam Summer Sales Begins - (June 19-30)

Just a heads-up. Daily deals and also 'Flash Sales' every 8 hours, with 75% - 85% off.

As if I don't already have enough games I've not played...

I have already bought something...

I had been eyeing Planetary Annihilation for quite a while now, because I thoroughly enjoyed Total Annihilation back in the day and am still very much enjoying Suprème Commander.
For me these games mark the top of the curve regarding RTS games. Still having base building as a major gameplay aspect and super large maps to enable all kinds of tactical approaches.

The Alpha of PA was way too streep of an admission price and even the beta at full retail price wasn't something I was willing to bet on. But the game is now in a 50% sale making it 23 euro's.
Pretty good price now that SP has been added recently.

Apart from some DLC for Rome 2, EU 4 and CK2 I don't think I will be buying something else. :)

Famous last words.

Not sure what on my wish list I really want. I think everything I still have on it will have to be heavily discounted for me to purchase.

I'm hoping for a better deal on DayZ and Dark Souls II...

Yskonyn · June 19, 2014, 01:07:28 PM

Do you guys think Elite will be featured in the sale? ;)

Ha! You wish!

However, I just got their weekly newsletter and I think you can purchase the non-premium beta now at a reasonable rate. The premium beta will be wrapping up soon.

Let me know what you think about PA. $24.99 is a great price for it now.

There's Devil May Cry off of my wishlist. I want Payday 2...but I'm waiting to see if it gets more than the current 67% discount on a daily deal. :)

Everyone put your gaming helmets on!

Ian C · June 19, 2014, 03:24:37 PM

Well I just picked up all Mafia II DLC for next to nothing, Superpower 2 and Horizon @ 50% off.
I didn't realise that the sale also covers most things in the STEAM catalog and not just the offers on the intro page.

RooksBailey · June 19, 2014, 03:46:30 PM

I've already done pretty good even before the Steam sale began. I got Gunpoint for $2.50 from Steam yesterday, and Shadowrun Returns for $5 on Gamer's Gate summer sale (I am loving that game so far). For the Steam sale, I am eyeing State of Decay as I've heard good stuff about it. Currently half off, but I think I can wait for something better. :)

bbmike · June 19, 2014, 05:18:25 PM

Well, I didn't last long. All of the Elemental: Fallen Enchantress DLC is on sale so I scooped it up. :D

WallysWorld · June 19, 2014, 05:28:32 PM

I'm on a major Combat Mission kick lately so the only things I want from Steam is the Canadian Mountain Passes route for Train Simulator 2014 and maybe top off the DLC's that I'm missing from EU IV.

Grim.Reaper · June 19, 2014, 05:31:51 PM

I am going to show my will power and not buy a single thing:)

Gotta stay strong....

TheCommandTent · June 19, 2014, 05:35:26 PM

So the virtual RPG tabletop software Fantasy Grounds is on sale. I've been looking at this for a while but not sure I will actually use it once I get it. :)
