From PC World: School’s out, and you know what that means: Time to draw the blinds and catch up on the games you’ve missed this year. Or, if you’re a working adult...well, business as usual I guess. But hey! The Steam Summer Sale is back for yet another year of discounts, running from today until July 5 at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Steam Summer Sales aren’t nearly as special as they used to be, given the number of sales year-round and the excision of the old Daily Deals, Flash Sales, and everything else that used to make rampant consumerism feel like an “event.” Still, it’s a good chance to fill up your library, try some games you might otherwise not bother with, and generally celebrate video games as a creative medium.
Plus Valve's thrown in a meta-game this year, Stickers. You can earn Sticker Packs by doing "Quests," which are pretty similar to the Trading Card activities Valve's promoted the past few sales: Explore your Discovery Queue, check out different pages on Steam, et cetera. Quests refresh each day and there's no way to trade for packs, so if you want them all you'll need to return every day of the sale.
