    Why don't you people buy from GOG? They've been having a huge sale for the last couple of weeks. Fez & Hotline Miami have both been on sale. Don't Starve was on sale a few days ago.

    I don't understand why you would wait for Witcher 2 to go on sale on Steam when they often sell both bundled on GOG for under $10.

    Usually, if I have a choice between DRM and no DRM, I go with no DRM. Call me crazy.

    Some Dota 2 cosmetic bundles would be nice.

    As for actual games:

    • Super Puzzle Platformer
    • Monaco
    • Fez
    • Don't Starve

    Oh fuck, I didn't even think of Dota 2 items. Does that sort of stuff typically go on sale during these events?

    They had the early access starter packs in the winter sale (or at least the deluxe one with Jugg set, not sure about the Sven one), but I'm hoping they go a but further and expand the sale to in-game items given given that Dota 2 and the workshop have really exploded since then.

    @oraknabo: I buy games on GOG as well, but usually only older games that I can only get there. Steam is just easier to install, run games and maintain what is rapidly turning into a vast gaming library. Having saves in the "cloud" is also great, though Gamesave Manager+Dropbox does that fairly well if you don't want to use Steam.
    The DRM part of it doesn't bother me at all, never had any problem with it to be honest.

    As for the sale, I really hope nothing catches my fancy. Already bought Rogue Legacy, and Witcher 2 was cheap a week or so ago. I also picked up the Legacy of Kain pack on GoG, got Amalur on PS3 to beat, and generally too many games (only got a 66.8 completion percentage on Backloggery, just can't seem to meet my goal of 70%...)
    But! If I am to buy something I would buy Dark Souls, just can't seem to sit down with my 360 these days to beat it. And Surgeon Simulator 2013 would be neat to have.

    All I want is Borderlands 2 and the season pass + DLC. I was going to buy it on amazon digitally, but I live in Canada, and have a Canadian credit card, so now that's out and I just have to hope that steam sells it at a similar price when the time rolls around.

    Nevermind. There is no longer anything I want from the Steam Summer Sale.

    FEZ is the only thing I want. I just got all the Cubes and Anti-Cubes on the 360 version and I really think its one of my favourite games this generation, would pay a reasonable sale price just to see what it looks like on PC. Maybe even beat it again, who knows.

    I should refer to this when the time comes.

    • Dust: An Elysian Tail (furries)
    • Fez (only if dirt cheap)
    • The Swapper (at whatever sale price)
    • Gunpoint (looks awesome)
    • I Am Alive (if it's under $5)
    • Remember Me (50% off or greater)
    • Metro 2033 (since I now have Last Light)
    • Antichamber (?)
    • Dead Island Riptide (if I feel like it)
    • Sleeping Dogs DLC (all the important ones, anyway)
    • Super Puzzle Platformer (maybe?)
    • Dishonored (also a maybe?)
    • Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (missed it last time around)
    • FTL (because why not at this point)
    • Dustforce (this list is getting long)
    • Darksiders 2 (finally)
    • Quantum Conundrum (now I'm going too far)
    • Closure (digging deep here, guys)
    • La-Mulana (I don't own this already?)
    • Starseed Pilgrim (still don't know what the fuck it is)
    • Scribblenauts Unlimited (it was on sale for cheap recently, but it could be cheaper?)
    • Spec Ops: The Line (there's a 1% chance I'll buy it)
    • Cart Life (sure, why the fuck not?)
    • Poker Night 2 (yeah)
    • Monopoly (now I'm just pulling games out of my ass)
    • Monaco: What's Yours is Mine (seems like a popular choice here)
    • Agricultural Simulator 2013 (no no no, that's it! I'm done!)

    And I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'll be watching.

    1. Bethesda bundle for less than $80 that includes Dishonored (+DLC), Skyrim (+DLC), Brink, Rage, all Dooms, all Quakes
    2. Magic 2014 for $5.00
    3. Tomb Raider

    Beyond that, I can't really think of a whole lot that I really want that I either can't get cheaper somewhere else or will be buying before the sale hits.

    I would like some really nice games to be pretty cheap in order to give them away through the Steamgifts group though. Also hoping to win some stuff through there as well.

    Eh, sadly my videocard is crapped out, sure it still works but it overheats extremely fast, i need a new one. Especially since it's fairly old (raedon HD 5770)

    So i'll miss out on this summers sale. Maybe I'll get a new card for X-mas so i can take part in the holiday sale.

    I'm not really motivated much to buy a card myself currently.

    Good luck to everyone else getting what you want though!

    I'm keeping with my tradition of buying the previous year's Magic the Gathering game with a 75% discount after the newest one has released. It's usually like 8-10 bucks with all the dlc included.

    I don't think there's a single Steam game I want right now, I have everything I need pretty much. Well maybe Endless Space, which was just on sale, but I'm not sure if I'm really ready to get into 4X yet.

    The Witcher 2 was like 6 bucks the other day. I would like BioShock Infinite to go low, I might buy some of the Magic the Gathering games if they are cheap enough (even though I own some of them on Xbox already). I might finally buy Just Cause 2 as well.

    Hmm.. I'm trying to not buy many games this year but I'll probably buy Trials Evo: Gold and maybe sleeping dogs. Buying sleeping dogs sounds like a bad idea because it will be yet another open world game in my vast backlog, but shit does it look fun!

    At this point, I can't really run the big AAA games on my laptop, so I usually hope for some steals on indie games I wouldn't otherwise contemplate. I've been snapping up a ton of adventure games on GOG and bought a few things from that Amazon sale (namely Rollercoaster Tycoon 2), but I've kept a small chunk of change for the Steam sale if/when it happens. I guess I'm most excited for those indie bundles.

    If I could pick up Skyrim: Legendary Edition for $30 or less, that'd be pretty sweet. Other than that, I've basically got almost everything I want in my backlog already, except for maybe DmC, Metro LL, and RE6 if it's ridiculously cheap.

    Usually, if I have a choice between DRM and no DRM, I go with no DRM. Call me crazy.

    This. I love Steam, but GOG had some crazy great deals I couldn't pass up. That being said, I'm hoping Don't Starve will drop below $10 during the Steam sale and Knights of Pen and Paper +1 goes on sale as well.
