How to find the best deals in the Steam Summer Sale?
It can be a bit overwhelming to shop steam during the sale, and if you aren’t careful, you can end up buying way too many games you will never play. So our advice would be to go into the sale with a specific game in mind and see if it has a discount available. As long as it’s not a relatively new game, there’s a good chance it will be on sale. This method will help you avoid getting cut up in the huge discounts, leaving you enough cash to even think about giving Steam games as gifts to your loved ones.
