There was a Steam summer sale last June, quite late in to the month. Can we expect something similar in the coming weeks? I eagerly await these massive sales. I already have roughly 50 steam games unfinished, but always want to buy more. It's an awful compulsion.

I think we'll just have to wait and see. As far as I know these thing aren't announced in advance.

I think it'll be the same time as last year - end of July, beginning of August. At least that's what some people in the Steam forums are saying.

It will happen eventually. No doubt.

@GaiaAthena: Last year it was end of june start of july

Oh no not again

I can't wait. I'm at 390 games on steam (I've probably played twenty of them). Another summer sale could put me at 450!

As long as they have more facts like "X people are killed by sharks each year, 0 deaths have been reported as being caused by playing video games" then I'll be happy.

I read somewhere it will start on the 24th, don't hold me to that but it's coming.

As much as I want a sale..I don't think I want a sale. I need to play the games from the last summer sale. 

Can't wait to buy more games my computer can't actually run.

There was a rumor that it would start today but...it apparently didn't. I hope it starts up the same time like last summer.

Maybe next week.

Please steam, I beg of you. Do not make me give you all of my money again!

I wish it had started today.

Really hope it starts soon-not interested in that many titles right now but im sure some price drops will change my mind:P

I guess this is going to be the official Steam Sale thread? Anyway, I'm really hoping to get Alpha Protocol heavily discounted. 
 
For the sake of discussion, what is everyone else looking forward to getting heavily discounted?

That fact will have to be altered slightly after that guy who played some MMO until he died from exhaustion. I wish I could link the article.

I think that falls under deaths caused by being a complete idiot.

I would probably prefer if there was no Summer Sale at all. I just cannot fight the urge to keep buying stuff I didn't really want. The Vinny Syndrome is in all of us.

I've been buying shit I don't really want on steam for the last three months, Summer Sale be damned.

I regret almost all of it. Mostly Brink. Fuck you, Brink.

I don't care if there's no Summer Sale this year. The Daily Deals have been getting better and better these past few weeks. Monday Night Combat for €2.80 yesterday, the Overlord Complete Pack (3 games) for €5 today. If they keep up the pace, I can make do with the Daily Deals.

I've been on the fence about whether or not to give Cargo the quest for gravity a chance or not. If it shows up on the Steam Sale then I am going to have to get it.  

It starts June 24th, as far as I know.

Edit: Oh no, that was last year's sale I guess, though it could very well start on the 24th again. If not the 24th, I'd have to guess the 27th.
