Just in case, we remind you: this time you will not be able to fill your inventory with cheap-bought games and then sell or distribute them all year round. In early May, Valve changed how the Steam Gift System works, making it impossible to store non-activated games in your inventory.
The rest of the sale rules have not changed. If you see an interesting game, then you can buy it right away - there will be no lower discount. The same goes for add-ons, bundles and any content in general.

In the guide, you will learn about the sales that have taken place over the past 9 years, as well as when sales come and why they cannot be on holidays that are celebrated only in Russia and / or the CIS countries.

In the manual not specified sales such as Indie Spring Sale, Pirate Sale and others, as these are themed and monotonous sales.

Sales

On Steam, as many mistakenly believe, there is no such thing as a "season sale". All sales take place only in the event of a holiday.

For example, in winter sales are held because they are timed to coincide with the New Year and Christmas (according to the Gregorian calendar), so they are not called " Winter sale"And" Holiday Sale ".

In the past, the summer sale was related to the US Independence Day (July 4th), but for unknown reasons, Valve Corporation has abandoned this tradition and began to promote the sale inland July.

The Fall Sales celebrate Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but have one common name - the Autumn Sale.

There are also “mini-sales” from publishers and sales in honor of some small holidays, for example, when a discount is given only on certain games.

Sales that don't exist

REMEMBER! Valve Corporation is american corporation.

IN USA NOT they celebrate such holidays as Defender of the Fatherland Day, International Women's Day, Spring and Labor Day (May 1), Victory Day, Knowledge Day, Russia Day, Day national unity, and ESPECIALLY Constitution day Russian Federation (no people are you serious?).

Do not despair! Although Valve Corporation will not make, for example, sales on May 9, some Russian publisher - 1C or Buka - can enlist its support.
They can host a sale as a weekend discount on WWII games.

Spring Holidays not, therefore, there are no "spring sales".
You may remember that March 21, 2013 was still, but it was thematic and single. The sale was held in honor of the IGF winners and finalists.
