Steam Summer Sale 2012 Dawn Of The First Day - Games

[QUOTE=Smashman;36573316]Seriously? They're Fucking morons.[/QUOTE] I don't know man people are still gonna buy regardless of price. For example me, but of course I'm gonna buy it on their site for 25% off. [QUOTE=LuaChobo;36573414]People will buy it no matter what eventually, plus Arma3 is coming out so they most likely don't want two sales so close to each other.[/QUOTE] Arma 3 isn't coming out till sometime in 2013.

[QUOTE=EliteGuy;36570425]Steam sales will [B]NOT[/B] occur on days when new titles are released. July 2-4th, and July 24-30th are not possible.[/QUOTE] I'm not so sure about that... [img]http://storefront.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/105400/extras/for_release_710.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=megafat;36573489]So it can still happen July 1st?[/QUOTE] You do realize the sales last about 2 weeks? It would be possible between July 5th and july 23rd.

[QUOTE=Niven;36567916]The devs said Arma 2 won't be on sale[/QUOTE] Well that's greedy as fuck

Holy shit... Time to start the gigolo business. I must get money for when the id super pack gets a huge price cut.

[QUOTE=Tosas;36576525]Well that's greedy as fuck[/QUOTE] It's on offer on the dev's official site at the moment £14.99 for combined ops (original + operation arrowhead) and Steam activated

I was expecting atleast 55% on a game that's that dated. Looks like dayz brought their greedy side out in the light. Fucking shame

Indeed, I guess they realised they were getting decent sales without a reduction. I hate the animation triggered by the V button ingame to climb over a bush/fence/whatever, really shows the engine's age. Still looks pretty good graphically though and hey, at least they provide mod tools! I guess they do patch the game quite frequently although I considered it to be beta stage at release when I got it. Bohemia seem to like releasing games on time unfinished and then patching them up later.

[QUOTE=Tosas;36576525]Well that's greedy as fuck[/QUOTE] I'd do the same. If it sells that good without a reduction, I'd let it be.

[url]http://www.inlander.com/spokane/article-18089-whats-happening-in-july.html[/url] Check out July 2.

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;36573414]People will buy it no matter what eventually, plus Arma3 is coming out so they most likely don't want two sales so close to each other.[/QUOTE] I won't buy it unless it goes on sale.

[QUOTE=Tosas;36576525]Well that's greedy as fuck[/QUOTE] I'm assuming it has something to do with the recent success of DayZ, and the fact that Combined Operations has been in the top sellers list for weeks. Fuck DayZ.

I hope that Saints Row 3 get on sale. I want that game.

Steam Store is acting weird, game lists seem a tad broken, store getting ready for sales?

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;36581492]Steam Store is acting weird, game lists seem a tad broken, store getting ready for sales?[/QUOTE] They wouldn't do it on a sunday

Oh shit, maintenance. [editline]2nd July 2012[/editline] Get your tin foil hats!

It really amazes me how low the prices can get. The Valve Complete Pack went down from $100 to $20 last time around.

Also can anyone provide the source for BI saying that Arma 2 wouldn't go on sale?

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;36587058]Also can anyone provide the source for BI saying that Arma 2 wouldn't go on sale?[/QUOTE] Technically it's on sale right now. [url]https://store.bistudio.com/[/url] ArmA2:CO has been 25% off for a few days at least.

why wouldn't they put it on sale are they stupid

Yeah, and normally I'd grab it. But I'm not exactly swimming in cash at the moment, and 25% off is nothing compared to how much it would be discounted if it were on sale during the Steam summer sale, especially if it was a daily deal.

Oh shit I just spent all my money on a new PC :(

I need to get Sonic Generations when it goes on sale.

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;36587501]Yeah, and normally I'd grab it. But I'm not exactly swimming in cash at the moment, and 25% off is nothing compared to how much it would be discounted if it were on sale during the Steam summer sale, especially if it was a daily deal.[/QUOTE] 75% would be ideal, people would flock to it, and I believe they would make more money in that sale than they would otherwise

[QUOTE=Clementine;36587827]75% would be ideal, people would flock to it, and I believe they would make more money in that sale than they would otherwise[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure when Gmod was on 50% sale the amount of copies sold more than doubled, so yeah, the same would probably happen to Arma 2.

[QUOTE=Creid;36587354]Technically it's on sale right now. [url]https://store.bistudio.com/[/url] ArmA2:CO has been 25% off for a few days at least.[/QUOTE] yeah, but that doesn't really answer his question on why it won't be on sale on steam, assuming that's what he meant I too would like a source

[QUOTE=Clementine;36587827]75% would be ideal, people would flock to it, and I believe they would make more money in that sale than they would otherwise[/QUOTE] I'd buy the shit out of that. Hell, I'd get the DLC too.
