Leroux: Well, the problem is that they changed the pattern, so we can't really know anything anymore. ;)

They usually had a holiday sale that began somewhere before Christmas and lasted until Christmas or even into the new year, but it was a different kind of sale than the winter sale we just had - less daily offers and special discounts, but most of the catalogue discounted by 50% for the whole duration of the sale (weeks, not just for a day).

TentacleMayor: Actually I'm broke, my entertainment budget this year has been something like 70 euros and I'm hoping for a chance to buy something on GOG instead of Steam in retaliation for Steam snubbing people who don't have smartphones for Steam trading. But if there's no GOG sale, there's no other option than Steam or some site that sells Steam keys, unfortunately. I don't want to feed Gabe but it looks like I might have to again if I want to enjoy a new game around Christmas.

TentacleMayor: Strategy and RPG, but don't you dare buy me anything. I already have a long backlog thanks to Russian/Brazilian crossregion trading before they cracked down on that, and there's actually only a handful of games I'm even interested in right now. Nearly all them Steam exclusives, sadly.

Grargar: If we go by the pattern established by previous years, then we are done with the big sales for this year.

Azhdar: Are big sales limited to spring, summer, fall and winter? Just 4 big sales or more?

Bookwyrm627: Wait, you have a huge backlog, but you're considering breaking your retaliation method to buy a new game within the next 2-3 weeks? o.O

TentacleMayor: You got me, I'm a sales addict. I don't even enjoy playing games as much anymore as I enjoy shopping for them.

Bookwyrm627: Fair enough. I've found I have some pretty strong collector tendencies myself.

tinyE: Yeah, we noticed.

Grargar: The really big sales that involve the whole catalog (or at least its majority) are usually Summer and Winter. This and the previous year we also had the Fall sale, as well. For the rest of the year, we do get some special promos but they usually can't be compared to the aforementioned three as they have significantly fewer games on discount.
