Headline With A ? - Is This The Steam Summer Sale?
What a bloody funny world it is to live in these days. Not content with leaking the existence of most every major game before it's even announced, the internet lately feels it's necessary to also spread advance, unofficial word about big discount events. A dedicated explore of Steam's database files has allegedly thrown up alleged details on what allegedly might allegedly be the alleged Steam Summer alleged Sale, which allegedly includes the following games and packs allegedly discounted enormously. There are dozens of the blighters. Allegedly.
We don't have prices yet, but here's what we might possibly potentially maybe perhaps you never know be in for across the first 11 days of the sale, in terms of bundled packs:
Day 1: Anomaly Warzone Earth, The Baconing, Cave Story+, EDGE, Lone Survivor.
Day 2: Botanicula, E.Y.E, Oil Rush, Splice, Universe Sandbox,
Day 3: Bit Trip Beat, Braid, Bunch of Heroes, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Runespell Overture,
Day 4: A Valley Without Wind, Atom Zombie Smasher, Blocks that Matter, Sanctum, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP,
Day 5: Audio Surf, Gemini Rue, Greed Corp, Tiny Bang Story, Ys: The Oath in Felghana
Day 6: Awesome, Defcon, Space Chem, Ticket to Ride, Trauma
Day 7: Avadon, Dungeons of Dredmor, Qube, Vessel, Zombie Driver
Day 8: Demolition Inc, Hoard, Sol Exodus, Swords and Soldiers HD, Wings of Prey,
Day 9: Capsized, Jamestown, Revenge of the Titans, VVVVVV, Zeno Clash
Day 10: All Zombies Must Die, Beat Hazard, Bit trip Runner, Eufloria, Machinarium
Day 11: Hydrophobia, Orion: Dino Beatdown, Star Ruler, Waveform, World of Goo
Day 4 would be my major pick there. Then ALLEGEDLY ALRIGHT ALLEGEDLY we'll also be seeing this stuff go through the atom price-smasher:

This comes via the Bronasium's (what a name!) rifle through Steam's content description files, though I first saw it on the Reddits.
