Posted October 14, 2015 So this year is my first year using steam. I don't know about all those sales and I heard about some sales called summer sales and winter sales (Maybe that's it name). I don't know if they exist because I wanna buy some games at the end of the year. My friend said that it will have huge sales like GTA V from 50 something to about 20 something. Is that even real?

Posted October 14, 2015 GTA V will probably not be on sale (this year), although everything else probably will (from 95% to 20% often) I recommend that you buy GTA V from g2a, since its really cheap https://www.g2a.com/grand-theft-auto-v-cd-key-global.html but, keep in mind that you will NOT get a steam key from the G2A version edit: follow this guide, to get the most out of easter sale, winter sale, spring sale, summer sale, etc http://lifehacker.com/how-to-get-the-best-deals-during-this-weeks-steam-sale-735529736 Long live Stalin, he loves you; sing these words, or you know what he’ll do!

Posted October 14, 2015 Yep, real. At some point in November or December I think the winter sale will start. Be sure to add games you want to your wishlist so you get an email about if it is on sale. Also, there are multiple discounts on a game. Usually it's on a set percent the entire sale (like 40% and goes on flash/daily sale for 75% or something.

Posted October 14, 2015 lol no its fake why on earth would there be sales /s yes there are sales all the fucking time, but the big ones are the summer sale and winter sale Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 14, 2015 well "summer sales" is kind of self-explanatory: its a sale around summer, that drops straight in the middle of school exams to distract students from their studies, so they fail, dont get into a high end job, and waste their life playing videogames. (insert a REALLY big /s here) steam sales happen roughly around when a lot of people are looking to buy games: right before summer break, right before the holidays, etc. theres a lot of smaller sales happening troughout the year, as well as some games that randomly go down a bit, or some that are completely free to pick up "if you call now".

Posted October 14, 2015 Usually new games are only discounted about 20-25% on big sales. Old stuff can get crazy though, up to 90% off sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 14, 2015 I really think GTA 5 wont be for discount more than 30% -40% Max this year and even next year, due the fact many people buy the game and i think rockstar get alot of money from sales already like preorder and stuff. GTA5 would be 20 dollars maybe in 10-20 years from now or never. Magical Pineapples
