So it begins. The Steam Summer Sale has arrived, and it has come to claim the wallets of man. Hide your dollars, hide your cents, because Gaben is selling everything out there.

It goes until June 30th. Some games last the entire duration, others are on a day by day basis.

Well, sh*t. I just blew my entire check(well, I have some money, but only like $100, and I'm trying to stay in a budget.) and I don't get paid til the 2nd

Is it just for the 12 days, or do they do more later in the summer?

[TenorSounds 832]

It's funny, I own so many games that I've reached a state where I can't even take advantage of these sales. I'd like to say I've beaten the system, but I have the feeling that I've lost in the worst way possible xD

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Me, and how I "buy" games.

But these sales do give a decent reason to get a legitimate copy........

I used to pirate PC games in middle/high school (not new ones but a lot of older ones), but now that I have a steady source of income it's usually 100x more convienient just to buy them. Having it all handled by Steam with all of my games in one place is also a plus!

[Celli 4,349]

I think I'll hold off for a few days and see if they discount these prices lower. I really want Bioshock and Stanley Parable, and I usually get 1 game because they're usually pricy when they're not on sale.

There is always the Autumn Sale, just save up for it and splurge then. Or save even more for the Winter Sale.

Unless you wanna play games that are on origin only. Or games steam doesn't carry any more.

I think I'll do that. Or like I said in my last post, wait and see if the games go lower.

Well, yeah but I don't really mind using Origin for those few games and Good Old Games takes care of the rest. Besides, you can still create a Steam shortcut to the executable and it's practically the same thing

Yea, but for me, with my other hobbies taking precedent, pirating just makes gaming with friends a bit easier as I don't have to shell out $40 every time they find a new game to play as a group. So it is just easier for me

And that's fine, that's just what I mean about the "convenient" part; I have enough of an expendable income where buying the games I want isn't that big of a deal. I probably wouldn't pirate anyway if that wasn't the case, out of principle, but I can still see why it would be better for some.

I use my expendable income on my other hobbies, and I only really play video games to spend time with friends. I have no issue with piracy, and if I really love the game I'll go buy itt to support the studio.

For those of you new to this, here's a helpful video on how to Survive the Steam Summer Sale. Brought to you by my friend Boogie.

 

[Revy ~ Two Hands 862]

Picked up Fallout 3 GOTY I used to have the xbox 360 edition but now I have the PC version and I've downloaded a handful of mods.

It's been a long enough time since I played it I think I can maybe get back into it again.

[Gourgeist 262]

Ok I have a new deal. $20 steam money and I'll pay back the very start of July. I can pay back in steam, eShop card, or paypal. 

[Flakk 65]

I don't really buy games for the sake of it so I kinda have the opposite problem than most people, I don't know what it worth buying.

 

I bought Castle Crashers because it was one of my favouite Xbox games but I have no clue what to buy next. Super Meat Boy? RPG Maker? Audiosurf? Fable? Another copy of Bad Rats? It's really hard to choose.
