The Steam Summer Sale is back! And bargain hunters like our notoriously stingy author Jürgen are absolutely thrilled. Are you one of them?
Every year again, Steam launches a big offensive on your wallets and credit cards! We are talking about the Steam Summer Sale 2018. Valve is once again offering ridiculously cheap deals on its distribution platform Steam. The deals even convince notorious cheapskates like me, Jürgen, to spend money.
Steam Summer Sale 2018 – So good that the servers crash
60€? That’s 120 Marks! Are you crazy?: I am reluctant to spend my hard-earned money under the tyranny of the cruel editor-in-chief. I admit: I even convert many prices back to Marks. When I have to pay 2.50€ for a beer at the tavern, that physically hurts me. My colleagues laugh at me when I rightly expose the prices of the local delivery service or craftsman as the extortionate prices that they clearly are.
I also dislike paying full price for games: 60€, 70€ for a game? Never – well, maybe in emergencies.
But right now, I’m happy to grab my wallet! Because the Steam Summer Sale 2018 has some really cool deals that an economically-minded gamer shouldn’t miss.
Invasion of the “Saliens”. This time, the big sale is under the sign of “Intergalactic Summer Event” and is presented by the “Saliens”. They are aliens who are completely dedicated to consumption and are getting ready for a bargain invasion. I love that!
The whole sale has been very popular from the beginning. That’s why the servers crashed as soon as the sale went online. But everything is working again now, and I can go bargain hunting. Let’s see what there is to find …
Wow, Fallout is on sale!
A great deal is, for example, the Fallout series! It’s available due to the hype around Fallout 76 with huge discounts. Individual titles are 30 to 75 percent cheaper.
For instance, you can get the first two Fallout games for almost nothing. They only cost 2.50 euros! Less than a kebab!
Wow, Steam hardware for almost nothing!
Even cooler is the offer for Steam hardware. If you’ve always wanted a Steam Link, you can grab it now for an astounding 2.75 euros. That’s a discount of 95 percent!
Only the associated Steam controller is still a bit more expensive. With a 33 percent discount, you can still get it for a low price of 36.84 euros. So if you’ve always wanted to play your Steam games in console style on the couch, now is the perfect opportunity! I’m definitely getting it!
And so many MMOs are cheaper!
The sale also offers something for MMO fans: A whole range of online games is also very cheap. Among others, there are discounts on gems like Elite Dangerous, The Division, or The Elder Scrolls Online. Well, ESO has had some issues on Steam, but they will surely be fixed soon.
Bye bye, monthly salary!
I have to admit that there are really many great offers on Steam this year. So I guess I will soon have to tighten my belt. But it’s worth it! How about you? Are you also diving into the Steam Sales like a hungry raccoon? Or is there nothing for you this time? Let us know!
