I’m not really sure what to say … I had heard that Steam was having a year-end sale, but with everything else they have been doing my expectations were not all that high. Well … no matter what expectations I might have had, THIS sale has exceeded them!
As the screen capture above indicates, between the various daily deals, full-week specials, combo packs and publisher deals there are literally thousands of deals going on. Here is more from the Steam news item:
