Steam Sale starts June 19th. mg7:

Pretty much confirmed now that the weeklong deals end Thursday instead of next Monday.

Steam Summer Sale has begun. As always, if it's not a flash sale or daily deal, don't buy it until the next-to-last day of the sale.

If you plan on crafting some badges, make sure you have at least three games on your wishlist. Even though it's a small chance of winning, Valve is giving 30 people who are participating in their summer event three games from their wishlist each day of the sale. More details at Steam.

EDITED the bold since it's been pointed out on other sites that the discounts disappeared for every game that wasn't part of the encore sale on the last day during the winter event.

Wait, I'm clueless here, what is the benefit of buying the last day of the sale? Just that it may come up as a flash sale at some point for less or is it a badge thing?

I randomly caught a stream of Democracy 3 the other week, and it looked pretty cool.

Anyone have it?

Looks like I'm going to pick up The Witcher 2 today. I only have it for 360 and I'd like to play through the series again before 3 drops next winter.

I was placed on the pink team.

Just to make sure you get the best deal from Steam. The benefit might not be a whole lot depending on what the base discount is, but if you plan on buying a lot of games, that couple of dollars here and there can add up. There have also been a few instances where games and DLC that were daily/flash deals had better discounts in the last day or two like the BioShock Infinite season pass during the winter sale and Saints Row: The Third a couple of years ago.

Just in case people missed the edit to my last post: it's been pointed out on other sites that the discounts disappeared for every game that wasn't part of the encore sale on the last day during the winter event. So assuming there will be another encore sale on the last day, buy any game that wasn't a daily/flash deal on the next-to-last day.

Just bought The Witcher, The Witcher 2 and Torchlight 2 for under $11. Nice.

Holy shit. The tokens to change to the purple team are selling for $30 on the Steam Market. If I manage to get one, that sucker is getting listed immediately.

The other team ones are ~$10 btw, and none of the point steal/boost tokens are currently less than $5.

Good thing the points reset every day, how the hell did Purple get so far ahead.

I very much skimmed the rules last night to all of this, and clearly don't know what's going on because this read like a foreign language to me.

Someone on reddit linked a Steam profile for a guy on purple team who's crafted the summer badge 150 times already. That's 1500 points for the purple team right there, but I have to image other people are doing the same thing on other teams, right?

When you craft the summer badge, you have a chance (not guaranteed) of getting a token that will allow you to change teams, steal from the point total of other teams, or add points to your team.

This thing is neat, but also completely bananas.

Dammit. Racing lost to FPS in the community choice 29% to 71%. I'm sad. No 50% off Assetto Corsa today.

Used some Best Buy certs and got a $50 Steam card. Figured it'd be easier to stick to my budget that way lol. Not interested in any of today's deals. Hopefully something good comes up in the next flash sale this evening.

I'm hoping the cyberpunk games win the community vote. I'd like to get the Shadowrun Returns expansion cheaper.
