Obligatory video.

Woulda been amazing if it DID drop 5/26....a Birthday gift from GabeN: Wallet DESTRUCTION!

Buying WoW tokens for gold now, potentially saving money for steam purchases but do have other priorities I "should" be focusing on instead.
Will see if I am strong enough to resist.

What's there left to buy if one already has the best games of 2015? GTA 5 and Witcher 3? Thousands of hours of content in those games. No other games matter anymore . . . perhaps Skyrim still...

Might finally get TW: Rome 2. Starting to have my RTS withdrawals.

Would advise against it personally.

It's ok after all the patches but isn't really a standout in the series. If you haven't given Atilla a go - seriously do, it's brilliant and a direct evolution of Rome 2. They took all the core mechanics of R2, added a huge amount more depth, brought back some of the most loved features (family trees, court intrigue, more advanced sieges etc) and actually released it in quite a solid state of balance with an OK AI (instead of the steamroll that is R2).

If you have played Atilla already and then pick up R2, you're just going to feel like everything you like is missing.

Why was the sale rumored to go on a month before the calendar date of "summer starts"? The sales started off as late june into july, but more recently have been early July to mid July periods.

History
2010: June 24 - July 4
2011: June 30 - July 10
2012: July 12 - July 23
2013: July 11 - July 22
2014: June 19 - June 30


My guess is either June 18 (which would mean the earliest ever) or June 28. 28th makes more sense since the Summer officially starts on the 21st. Though I wouldn't mind it starting on 4 or 11 July, since that would mean I can celebrate my birthday by buying myself some games

No thanks, already haven dozens of games from previous sales that I haven't even started playing. Getting a larger pile of shame is out of the question.

If you're like me, please control the impulse buying. Just because it costs 1.99 doesn't mean you HAVE to get it.

[Asmekiel]

But I only have 2600 games on Steam, I need more!

Here's the Gamespot article highlighting this.

Just letting you know that GOG.com has the GoT season on sale for $18. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect that much of a discount during the sale considering they just released the 4th episode.

[Nerraw]

Great. I was planning on saving some money in June...

[Hellravager]

Yea its confirmed too http://www.pcgamer.com/steam-summer-...start-june-11/

This isn't confirmation. That article you linked is just regurgitating what the Gamespot article said which is just regurgitating what the IGN article said. It's still all based off of the Russian social media Steam page.

[Hellravager]

Hope Bastion is on sale still havent played it yet

[Tekkommo]

Told myself I was going to buy the Resident Evil 1 remake when it came on sale. Same with Telltale GoT, but I doubt that will be in the next sale.

Besides that, there is nothing.
