It's not always the same. One year, I think 2010, it started the very last Friday of June and lasted through two full weekends (and the weekdays in between).

Why do they have sales? It's not like they have inventory to clear.

Because they love us ?

No the reason is because it makes them lots of money, both Valve and the developers/publishers.

Too be honest.. I might (MIGHT) get something this steam sale..

but honestly in a week and a half, 2 games I already own come out.. I will be busy with them for quite some time. 

I completely forgot about a Summer Sale until I saw this thread to be completely honest.

Lower prices = more sales = more revenue for Valve and the Developers/Publishers.

They can see up to a 3000% increase in revune. Its actually not for the consumer its a great way to generate revunue for a game that has slowed down

This will be my first Steam sale ( and only 2nd purchase after Civ 5 G & K) Is everything on sale? How much average discount is it? Was thinking of buying Fallout 3 cheap, see if my laptop could run it and if it did I'd get more on the sale. Oh, with Steam, if I buy something now then buy a new desktop in a few months, it's no issue to re-download them on the new computer? One last thing, why, is it so common for people to give $hit to Steam, what's the hate for? Sorry to hijack the thread

My advice, wait for daily deals. Almost all games are on sale, but every day certain games go for an even deeper discount. It will be on the front page of steam.

^ True Advice!

You might want a game at 50% off but then it may be 75% off the next day as a daily deal.

This wasn't the case during the Christmas sale 2012. That sale was very subpar. Amazon, GMG, Gamersgate, etc. brought much better deals to the table.

If the Skyrim Bundle with all the DLC is 17 or lower, that's the only thing I would buy.

Yeah it's still one of the top sellers on Steam even without sales. 50% off is the most you can expect, especially since Legendary Edition just came out a few weeks ago.

I'm just hoping to get 1 game on sale: Planetary Annahilation. It is the only one that interests me but the 83 Euros pricetag is offputing.

And maybe we get a mix-up like last sale when Sleeping Dogs was 90% off.

If you know why they put it at 90$, then you will see that Uber/the dev will most definitely not do that. That aside, can't really find anything interesting..Interested in payday 2 but a sale near release is unlikely, hoping perhaps a dota2 item sales.
