If you wait it out, at least 1-3 times a year or more the complete Valve Pack including every single one of Valve's games and expansion packs comes on sale for 80% off, at $19.99 instead of $99.99 which is an even better deal for Valve games if you like more than just the Halflife series. It's on sale somewhere right now for $30 or so, but I'd wait until it becomes $19.99 or less again and snarf it up. :) If it happens to be on Greenman, with 75% off plus their 20 or 25% off coupon, that'll bring it below $19.99 also.

Yeah, that was more or less my conclussion.

Since you mention GamersGate: I think I saw Gothic 2 on GamersGate but the information card was not as detailed as GOG. Do we know if GamersGate DRM-free version is as updated as GOG's?

Thank you. Sounds like a good deal.

Anyone have an idea about the voucher "IFDSUM-MERSAL-E15OFF" on GMG. Is it single use or multi use?

The email I got said: " Use (or reuse) it now with the code*: IFDSUM-MERSAL-E15OFF".

You should be able to try it before commiting the payment.

I tried on another game after purchase. Yes it looks like a multi use voucher.

Any idea when the summer sale starts?

If we go by the dates of the 2 previous years, 18 June would be a good guess.

Pcgamer.com gives about 100k keys of PID (by bundlestars)

Bundlestars? Again?

Yep, just grabbed one. :-)

Steam Summer Sale Sooner?

I read in PC gamer that Steam may be starting their summer sale a bit sooner this year. A set of Mysterious Cards has shown up on the Steam Marketplace. Also, Reddit got hold of a developer thread stating the discount deadline was June 13th. Last year a similar leak of a Nov 15th deadline lead to a sale twelve days later. So possible late June summer sale?

Edit: Nevermind, Steam sale timeframe confirmed.

Steam Summer Sale 19th June - 30th June
