Steam Summer Sale 2018 begins today

share_steam_logo.png

Get your wallets out, PC gamers among us, as the yearly Steam Summer Sale is here. As always, you can expect tons of games to be on sale, just like every summer sale, and you can also expect Steam's front page to crash, just like every year. Once the hype dies down, you can check what's on sale at the link below. Titles like PUBG, Ark, Dying Light, Nioh, Dark Souls III, Ni No Kuni 2, Grim Dawn, Halo Wars, and more are on "deep" discount.

The summer sale game to earn cards and points this year is called Salines, where you can earn points from picking different planets and spending time there.

The sale ends July 5th.

Flash sales were just a psychological trick. There's no good reason not to have games at their lowest price throughout the entire sale.

Pubs might not want their game discounted to 80% off for two weeks, but are fine with 80% for 24 hours.

Whatever the reason may be, the sales got worse as soon as flash sales were gone and we switched to the current format. Most stuff is barely even a sale anymore and has normally been cheaper elsewhere.

they’re really pushing the steam link it’s literally $2.50 lol
Yeah the hardware focus has been VR for a while now, they've been giving away controllers and Steam Links very cheap for the last few sales.

Yeah but with shitpping its up to over 10 bucks. Still worthless.
Lol it's definitely worth $10 if you want a streaming solution. Any other option with decent performance is going to be closer to $100.

its definitely worth that price. I understand for some people it may be useless (especially for those that dont care about hooking up to a larger TV or you already have PC directly connected to a large tv) Myself I like to use it as a way to remotely access my desktop (just minimize steam). You can hook up bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Can use your large tv as a monitor. A much better option than unhooking my desktop everytime I want to switch rooms.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
