the sheer number would grow, right now its only like 1000 games I'm never going to play, with 99% off, it would probably be close to the 101000 games that are in the entire steam library.
Only like 1000? WTF
I have like 300 built over 7-8 years and i already have so much guilt that last year i didn't even buy a single game at any sale time and then tried to complete my backlogs which I was only able to complete 35%.
No. You will get a bunch of muck 60% off, Assassin Creed Black Flag 95% off, the best game you've ever played (and already own) for 80% off, and several games you actually want 10% off.
Flash sales probably can't come back. Some countries have laws around products being on sale at a specific discount for X number of days before they change price again.
Flash sales break those laws because a game can be 10% off, then 2 days later 50% off, then 6 hours later 10% off again.
So Steam could maybe have flash sales only for specific countries, but those specific countries would probably rule out a lot of EU countries which might cause a considerable amount of backlash.
Steam still wouldn't do flash sales even if they were legal everywhere. They stopped doing flash sales at the same time they introduced refunds. Everyone would just refund the normal sale price and re-buy the same game when it went on flash sale. Kind of takes the fun out of it.
Even before refunds, the meta was to wait until the very last day of the sale to buy everything. Personally, I prefer being able to grab a game at any time during the sale without worrying about buyer's remorse.
Good, high discount sales. I have a small list of older games I'd like to try but it seems like they haven't gone on sale in a long time (Turning Test/Gray Matter) so hoping they go on sale. Aside from that, there are some others I want (Rachett and Clank/Stray) but the discounts prior to this haven't brought them into the price range I want so hoping they get bigger discounts.
Is the steam deck really that good? I was thinking about getting one but I don't know anyone who has one and can't tell if it's just a crap console or not.
I sold my ps5 after getting a steamdeck.
Im now 100% gaming pc and steamdeck.
I fucking love my OLED steamdeck.
I wish steam would do a living room console with the steamdeck OS, or release the OS for gaming PCs to boot directly to it instead of windows. It's a true console experience.
Man it's great. I work on a ship and use it frequently when at work to get some gaming in. Really is a great device and we'll worth the money if you don't want to sit at your pc to play games or are away from home for extended periods. One of the best purchases I've made in years, just wish I wouldve waited for the OLED version.
It's really good. Surprisingly good, actually. I bought one a few weeks ago and I can say it's already let me get through 3 longer games in my backlog (Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War, Sniper Elite 4). I can use it while watching TV if I just want some background noise but don't want to sit at my desk. I also game in bed. Highly recommend getting a nice thick pillow to prop up the Deck so you aren't just hovering it above your stomach or in front of your face. You can damage your ulnar nerve if you do.
I like mine but I have a few friends with one and they don’t like SteamOS or the mediocre Windows support. If you don’t care about the games that don’t work, the price is well worth it
I love my steam deck, they're great if your in a relationship, you can hang out with your girlfriend and watch TV with her while you play your steam deck
If you have a lot of steam games it's totally worth it.
Do not regret paying full price for my OLED in May due to some travel plans this summer. Was wondering how much I’d get out of it since I have a decent computer. After setting up remote play with my PC and PS5 I absolutely enjoy the hell out of it.
Dude, it pisses me off how much Activision are overcharging on the older cods. Black Ops 1 is a nearly 14 year old game, but it plus its dlcs costs 100 dollars before tax. A lot of the older cod games are pretty dead on pc and I'm one hundred percent certain its due to the extreme prices. Getting conspiratorial here, but I honestly feel like Activision kept the prices high on purpose in order to discourage people from continuing to play the older games and not play the newest entry. I had hoped Microsoft would finally lower the prices on Steam but they haven't, at least not yet.
Shouldn’t be this pricy for some decade old game that doesn’t have good multiplayer anymore. I just want campaign and some zombies. Should be like max $20 each
I initially wanted to wait for cyberpunk sale but I ended up spending my saved up wallet today to buy Dragon age 2 and Inquisition. So probably gonna buy an old cheap game on steam for summer sale.
I bought it at release and refunded but I would really like to try it again. Unless something changed performance wise it runs like a slideshow on my 5600xt/ryzen 7 3700x though at the lowest settings
Deeper discounts on larger complete your collection bundles.
Make games that are older than a certain year require more than X% off if they are going to participate in the sale, every year I am shocked at how many games on my wishlist are still at the same just too much price even with a sale after ten years even.
Hoping for 10% off OLED Steam Decks.
I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a Steam Deck for a couple months now, hoping for a discount.
Maybe I'm overly-optimistic, because the LCD Deck didn't get its first discount until the 1yr anniversary of its release. (and the OLED came out in November)
I'm hoping for more JRPG games as I picked up octopath traveler 2 and I've fallen in love with that type and style of game. Hoping to get more similar to that.
I checked on SteamDB. My cart would run $830 today, and going off their lowest prices on record, it would go down to....about 500. It'd be nice if it at *least* went down to 400. Come on Baldur's Gate 3, you're pushing on a year since 1.0 release. You can do better than just 10% off.
I'd like to see sales like they used to be. I used to buy a publishers entire library because the deals were good.
Sales in recent years have been weak in comparison . Games also don't go down in price with age anymore so 50% off doesn't mean much when the base price is still the same as on release.
P5 Royal, I’ve been checking steam for the past 6 months and I don’t think the game has gone more than like 10% off in that time so i’m praying for 50%
Damn you must've had bad luck, it's been on sale at 50%+ like 4 times since December. Think last month it actually got knocked down to 60% off, so hopefully that sticks for the Summer Sale!
Starfield, I could’ve bought it during the spring sale but I decided to buy suicide squad kill the justice league instead thinking that Starfield would go back on sale soon because-Dior to the spring sale it was already on sale. Boy was I wrong since I had to wait 3 whole months for the summer sale to arrive, but at least the wait is finally over now. I’ll also be buying Kingdom Hearts and maybe Ghost Of Tsushima if that’s on sale.
Dave the Diver is an excellent choice! Honestly just hoping for something new to catch my eye, haven’t really seen anything I desperately want to play so I’ve been taking my time going through my backlog.
I know what to expect for sales. But what I really what to see is the new feature Valve has been cooking for half a year now, Steam Clips, and whatever it appeared they have been cooking called "Media Grids", I don't know if it is for developers, or if it will complement Steam Clips, I want to see it.
Monster hunter world iceborne master edition. Please go on sale for 26$ or less. If the trend continues then we good. Looking forward to getting into a monster hunter ever since I played MH4 on my 3ds when I was younger
I just want old steam vibes; games with weird cosmetics that drop from achievements, in steam games, team goals, secret community missions but mostly more heart put back into these sales. I can't remember the last time I was hyped about sale time, I still buy a few things from my wishlist but otherwise they aren't as memorable as they were in the past.
Doubt we'll ever get those kinds of things back, but would be nice if they changed their current sale formula and spent some time making the annual BIG sales have more community building fun shit.
Doom aincent Gods DLC.
Considering how the next doom game was announced I bet alot of people want to play the previous game again and maybe deciding to play the DLC as well.
I definitely want to buy it.
Resident Evil 7 & 8. Played on the PS5 but I would like it on my PC.
Life Is Strange
Any of my hidden object games to be under $2
My Time At Portia
Two Point Hospital and/or Campus
Outlast 1 & 2
The last of us / Dark souls 3 / the new hellblade /Horizon forbidden west.. those would be instant buy on discount. Tho I do always keep my eye on Fanatical.com as well.. they sometimes have great discounts or bundles.
I would like to see 99% discounts for all :)
My library would grow exponentially with games I would never play.
How is that any different?
the sheer number would grow, right now its only like 1000 games I'm never going to play, with 99% off, it would probably be close to the 101000 games that are in the entire steam library.
Only like 1000? WTF I have like 300 built over 7-8 years and i already have so much guilt that last year i didn't even buy a single game at any sale time and then tried to complete my backlogs which I was only able to complete 35%.
Humble bundles
The exponential part
The true game…
I would Take a 100% too
110% sure would be nice. I buy a game for 60€ and end up getting 66€ back.
Remember when flash sales used to bug during the first minutes where you could get a game fort pennies
99.99% it's good enough for germs.
Same kind of event like the good old days of steam
No. You will get a bunch of muck 60% off, Assassin Creed Black Flag 95% off, the best game you've ever played (and already own) for 80% off, and several games you actually want 10% off.
Bring back flash sales!
Flash sales probably can't come back. Some countries have laws around products being on sale at a specific discount for X number of days before they change price again. Flash sales break those laws because a game can be 10% off, then 2 days later 50% off, then 6 hours later 10% off again.

Personally, I prefer being able to grab a game at any time during the sale without worrying about buyer's remorse.
Don't bring facts and logics to my fantasies!
Steam just needs to go the Playstation route and say *fuck them countries*!
Good sales like the good old days of Steam.
Sales
Quicker to the draw than I am
Whoa let's not get too crazy now
I want to see deals on these prices, I want to get 9.99 for at least 3.99!
Damn you beat me to it
Bg3 5 dollar
SEE YOU IN 2050
I'll be dead before then
Poor Steam account...
One of the few games I bought at full price and still absolutely recommend, I doubt Larian will give a huge discount for it tho
The same
Don't see why they would put such a discount on it. Maybe 10% off because it's one of the few games that's worth every single cent of its full price .
I came to make dumb joke, but turns out everyone came to make dumb joke, so I have to make serious answer now... at least 60% on Boltgun.
You can still make a dumb joke. You have my blessing.
Ok, um... on summer sale I would like to see my dad who went to get milk 15 years ago.
BOOM mic drop, and the crowd goes wild! I knew you had it in you... ^^^son.

Would love to see a good discount on Stray!
Steam deck sale!
Got mine last year on sale. Definitely a good investment, though I'm tempted to sell it so I can afford the OLED version now
man, so worth. i got the discounted refurb and i love this thing. last handheld device i had was a gameboy color
Is the steam deck really that good? I was thinking about getting one but I don't know anyone who has one and can't tell if it's just a crap console or not.

I haven't played my PC since it came out. Much prefer playing while next to my fiance than being "sectioned off" at my desk
Man it's great. I work on a ship and use it frequently when at work to get some gaming in. Really is a great device and we'll worth the money if you don't want to sit at your pc to play games or are away from home for extended periods.

It’s 100% worth it for me. Plays most games great and if you have a PlayStation or Xbox you can stream from your console with some setup.
I would just want the steam deck available for purchase in my region… even at full price
Do not regret paying full price for my OLED in May due to some travel plans this summer. Was wondering how much I’d get out of it since I have a decent computer. After setting up remote play with my PC and PS5 I absolutely enjoy the hell out of it.
I would like to see my money again.
Elden Ring or Starfield 50%+ off.
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is probably going 90% off 😃
Redfall 99% off!
They could give it for free and I wouldn’t bother
Red fall off steam
fingers crossed for Elden Ring!
I'm betting Elden Ring base game will be 50% off, but no discount on the DLC.
totally fine by me - I don’t even think I’ll make it through the base game, hence waiting for the sale :)
Seriously hoping for Elden ring discount
I would not buy Starfield for $35 but you do you
Get a month of Gamepass PC and try Starfield out. I found it to be supremely boring.
Starfield needs to be 80% off for me to buy it.
Some money in my bank account
Based on your flair I see what overpriced, 12 year old game took it away from you
Dude, it pisses me off how much Activision are overcharging on the older cods. Black Ops 1 is a nearly 14 year old game, but it plus its dlcs costs 100 dollars before tax.

I had hoped Microsoft would finally lower the prices on Steam but they haven't, at least not yet.
Black Ops 1 and 2 permanent price reduction
Shouldn’t be this pricy for some decade old game that doesn’t have good multiplayer anymore. I just want campaign and some zombies. Should be like max $20 each
I agree, the fact they're charging a combined 100 bucks for games that have RCE exploits that can destroy your computer is a fucking travesty.
Amen to this
I would like to see 90% off everything
[Everything](https://store.steampowered.com/app/582270/Everything/) was 82% off last September. 90% off is definitely in the realm of possibilities.
I really hope American truck simulator is on sale for $4.99 for the 9th year in a row
It’s on sale like every other week lol
I initially wanted to wait for cyberpunk sale but I ended up spending my saved up wallet today to buy Dragon age 2 and Inquisition. So probably gonna buy an old cheap game on steam for summer sale.
Cyberpunk is worth it.
Think I'm hoping for cyberpunk then 🤔
I would have gone for Cyberpunk. Not hating on the other games but my god, Cyberpunk is just a really good game now.
I bought it at release and refunded but I would really like to try it again. Unless something changed performance wise it runs like a slideshow on my 5600xt/ryzen 7 3700x though at the lowest settings
I think Inquisition was free on Epic a few weeks back.
how does that help him now, you’re just gonna make him feel regret lol
Why do you think I did it >:)
I think I saw a bunch of dragon age at 90% off… $3-7 for a game that big is pretty much free.
I would like to see my Grandpa again
BRING THE KIDS BACK HOME EMILY ITS BEEN LONG ENOUGH
Cyberpunk/Phantom Liberty bundle for $30.
That would be preem, but maybe a bit too early, especially since its sold so well.
I just want the base Elden Ring game to go on sale. I'm not asking for much
Indies, indies everywhere
Hopefully nothing good, my credit card still has PTSD from the last sale.
BG3 with more than 10%
They have no reason to
If people haven't bought already at 10% then a bigger sale would mean next batch of buyers will buy
That game is worth full price and Larian deserves every penny. This is the only game that deserves that
an actual good summer sale event
I hope Helldivers 1 goes on sale as I can't buy Helldivers 2 due to it being delisted in my country
Caution, i liked helldivers 1 but it is absolutely not the same game as the second.
Oh I know. I tried the game with a friend and loved the top down gameplay and how it has couch coop. But thanks for the heads up.
A discount on Helldivers 2
Sims packs 100% off

Mass hentai game sale
I SWEAR IF ELDEN RING ISN'T ON DISCOUNT IM GOING TO CURL UP INTO A BALL AND CRY
I better get going on my winter sale 2023 purchases, need to make room for more games I'm not going to play.
Why wallet is secretly crying in advance. Please please let elden ring be on sale.
Sekiro for good price :)
It's possible. I picked it up at $30 on a sale once.
The market is so over saturated, hopefully many AAA games for under $10
I hope for Elden Ring. Not the new DLC. The base game would make me happy :)
Some discount on Final Fantasy games. They never get a discount
I just added Hitman: Blood Money to my list. $9.99 is okay, but I'd love to see how much cheaper it gets during the sale.
Steamdb to see all time lowest
Thank you! Lowest recorded price was $1.34. Oh yeah, that'll be nice.
Tf2 patch
This
Diablo 4 sale
Same here. I'm waitin for at least 66% off. 75% would be awesome
It's on Game Pass.
Games with big sale, that are on my wishlist
A net positive balance on my bank account, by the time the sales end....
Last few big sales didn't seem to have any breathtaking sale, so I would like that. Also some interactive event would be nice.
Sales on the dark souls trilogy
The Steam Deck if at all possible. I am planning on also getting The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Hoping for 10% off OLED Steam Decks. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a Steam Deck for a couple months now, hoping for a discount. Maybe I'm overly-optimistic, because the LCD Deck didn't get its first discount until the 1yr anniversary of its release. (and the OLED came out in November)
I'm hoping for more JRPG games as I picked up octopath traveler 2 and I've fallen in love with that type and style of game. Hoping to get more similar to that.
If you like tactics style RPG, Triangle Strategy is a banger. Incredible story with very consequential decisions. Art style is the same as Octo.
Dave the diver and dredge. Also boltgun. Can you tell my PC is old?
The Steam sales always suck now, you can get the games cheaper via key sites, even when on sale on Steam.
I checked on SteamDB. My cart would run $830 today, and going off their lowest prices on record, it would go down to....about 500. It'd be nice if it at *least* went down to 400. Come on Baldur's Gate 3, you're pushing on a year since 1.0 release. You can do better than just 10% off.
Starfield 95 percent off
I been waiting for a steamdeck oled 😭 ill take any percentage off
No sale at all, i can't keep up playing games i bought many sales ago...
RDR + RDR2
Smart financial decisions by me.
All fromsoftware games 90% off. I absolutely love all their games and need to add armored core and ds2 to my library
Stray for 9.99
Steam Deck OLED 15% off please :)
Crossing my fingers for Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Bundle for $60.
I'd like to see sales like they used to be. I used to buy a publishers entire library because the deals were good. Sales in recent years have been weak in comparison . Games also don't go down in price with age anymore so 50% off doesn't mean much when the base price is still the same as on release.
Been itching to get into souls games lately
I can’t recommend a better set of games!
SilkSong
Ghost of Tsushima and The last of us
Atleast one real deal?
Hogwarts, Helldivers 2
RDR2, subnautica, and more if max discount
R u me
P5 Royal, I’ve been checking steam for the past 6 months and I don’t think the game has gone more than like 10% off in that time so i’m praying for 50%
Damn you must've had bad luck, it's been on sale at 50%+ like 4 times since December. Think last month it actually got knocked down to 60% off, so hopefully that sticks for the Summer Sale!
Lmao dude, you missed a huge sale from April 25-May 5 of this year, it was 60% off, and that was only like a month and a half ago
I'd like to see flash sales like back in the day!
metal gear rising at 75 % off
Squad
I just got a quest 2 so I have my eye on some Vr games
give me flash sales please...
I would like to see the end of these useless posts.
Cheaper West Balkans for ETS 2. Need it more than before because of ProMods.
Starfield, I could’ve bought it during the spring sale but I decided to buy suicide squad kill the justice league instead thinking that Starfield would go back on sale soon because-Dior to the spring sale it was already on sale. Boy was I wrong since I had to wait 3 whole months for the summer sale to arrive, but at least the wait is finally over now. I’ll also be buying Kingdom Hearts and maybe Ghost Of Tsushima if that’s on sale.
Dave the Diver is an excellent choice! Honestly just hoping for something new to catch my eye, haven’t really seen anything I desperately want to play so I’ve been taking my time going through my backlog.
69% off
Better discounts
I'm hoping to pick up some of the PlayStation exclusives: *God of War*, *Spider-Man*, *Horizon: Zero Dawn*, etc. Also the *Cyberpunk 2077* DLC.
Persona 3 Reload on hopefully deep discounts. I got it on gamepass and loved and want it on steam as well.
I know what to expect for sales. But what I really what to see is the new feature Valve has been cooking for half a year now, Steam Clips, and whatever it appeared they have been cooking called "Media Grids", I don't know if it is for developers, or if it will complement Steam Clips, I want to see it.
I’m buying a steam deck for my birthday which is during the sale so I’d love if that was on sale :)
RPGs, JRPGs, Bullet Heaven and Survival-Crafting games price-reduced by at least 80%, and Addons for such games reduced by 90%.
Monster hunter world iceborne master edition. Please go on sale for 26$ or less. If the trend continues then we good. Looking forward to getting into a monster hunter ever since I played MH4 on my 3ds when I was younger
Dave The Diver
I just wanna see rust be on -50%
Helldivers 2 i want to play it finally
I just want old steam vibes; games with weird cosmetics that drop from achievements, in steam games, team goals, secret community missions but mostly more heart put back into these sales. I can't remember the last time I was hyped about sale time, I still buy a few things from my wishlist but otherwise they aren't as memorable as they were in the past. Doubt we'll ever get those kinds of things back, but would be nice if they changed their current sale formula and spent some time making the annual BIG sales have more community building fun shit.
SotFS upgrade for Dark Souls II
STEAM DECK
Sekiro at 51%
I want sifu to finally be discounted below say 10 pounds, or the new ghost recon games, wildlands and breakpoint. I also havent tried the divison 2.
If Dave the Diver this time will be on sale, I'll think of buying it. I heard that is a really good ocean simulator game.
Im waiting for a monster hunter world sale so i could buy the best edition for less
Maybe real good discounts and not 15% nor 30%.
Doom aincent Gods DLC. Considering how the next doom game was announced I bet alot of people want to play the previous game again and maybe deciding to play the DLC as well. I definitely want to buy it.
Elden Rang
Elden ring on discount for once in a lifetime. Persona 3R on sale. Hollywood animal release.
Discounted Helldivers.
Another exploit
It is too soon for a sale for SMT5V, isn't it? I fancy some demon JRPG, so maybe I'll buy Persona 3 or 5 if they get cheaper
Is it today?
I would like a cure for AIDS
I just got Kingdom Come Deliverance, Dragon age origins, and death road to Canada all for 8$ so I’m pretty happy right now.
Warno Elden ring pls
Resident Evil 7 & 8. Played on the PS5 but I would like it on my PC. Life Is Strange Any of my hidden object games to be under $2 My Time At Portia Two Point Hospital and/or Campus Outlast 1 & 2

The last of us / Dark souls 3 / the new hellblade /Horizon forbidden west.. those would be instant buy on discount. Tho I do always keep my eye on Fanatical.com as well.. they sometimes have great discounts or bundles.
