Steam Winter Holiday Sale 2014

Hey guys, the Steam Winter Holiday Sale is right around the corner, and I was wondering...

  • What games are you planning to pick up?
  • What is your budget?
  • Are you planning to help a good friend out, and pick a game up for them?

1. Looking to get CS:GO, Arma 3, Shadow of Mordor, and maybe another early access game or Just Cause 2. Who am I kidding? I'll buy more games than that if I overspend... Ones that I won't even play!

2. I only got a budget of $100... I gotta make it count. Until I overspend to $200, then $300....

3. Maybe, but I I already bought games for my friends in the summer sale, so probably not... It's about time they return the favor. I mean... Be nice and share those Christmas cheers!

Please be respectful to others, as they enjoy the genre of games they play... We're here to just share our plans. Treat others how you want to be treated, please.

That was the fall sale, was it not? I already picked up some great games from that.

 

Judging from last year, it was late december.

Don't be disappointed if there is no "late" sale. I got all my desired games on 75% off. :) great deals.

I won't be, I still got some games to download in my library. Those games can wait, besides... I need pocket money for GTA 5 on PC. :P

 

I hope there will be anyways, Lord Gaben needs more money to swim in.

I probably will only pick up GTA V but that won't be coming out till after the winter sale so yeah....then i'll probably wait a week or so to see if the PC port is any good since these days PC ports aren't exactly great. If all is well i MIGHT pick it up right away otherwise i'll wait till it goes on sale after its been released and confirmed not to be another terrible port.

Assuming there is a sale, my girlfriend had mentioned getting me the Arkham games for PC (dat PhysX) in preparation for Arkham Knight (please, please, please don't be a terrible port).

 

Other than that, I'm pretty much all set for games. I'm not really craving anything except things that aren't out yet.

Yeah, Steam has traditionally done big Winter sales and a smaller Fall/Black Friday sale.  I don't know why people are assuming there is no Winter Sale this year.  Did I miss something?

If you think back, this fall has already had two sales. One smaller for halloween and bigger for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. As I remember it, last year there wasn't any fall sale besides halloween. So I won't be surprised if they decide to make it winter sale in February or even easter sale on late April.

There was a 2013 fall sale.

Yeah, but it's not like Steam is definitely having a Winter sale this year.  It's just historically they have had fall/autumn sales as well as a larger Winter Sale that usually incorporates community choices, steam trading cards, flash sales and the like.  The recent fall sale felt more like one of their mini-sales.

My budget - whatever I can convince my mind to spend. As for games, who knows. Probably some that will sit in my collection for years to come without being played.

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!
