Steam hold mega-sale, makes bank accounts cry

STEAM IS holding a massive summer sale causing hungover PC gamers worldwide to wake up this morning and acronym all over the place when they discovered their credit cards weeping on desktops.

What? You’re a consumer whore. Admit it. This is news.

The Perils of Summer sale began yesterday and includes discounts on all genres and all publisher packs. Each day there will be new games on sale for one day only. For instance, one of today’s deals saw the Unreal pack which includes Unreal 2: the Awakening, Unreal Gold, Unreal Tournament 2004, Unreal Tournament 3: Black and Unreal Tournament: GOTY Edition sell for £7.82 instead of £22.99.

There is 50% off the THQ publishers pack and 53% off the Star Wars games pack. While the Valve pack, featuring Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Half-Life, Half-Life 2 (plus Episodes One and Two), Counterstrike: Source, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more is 33% off at £35.50. Basically, it’s just a big sale. If Steam had TV advertising, it would star a CRAZY Heavy with CRAZY PRICES.

Steam encourages gamers to think carefully before they go to the beach or do anything dangerously summer-ish. Like looking outside.

“There have been more than 2,251 unprovoked shark attacks worldwide. There are nor reports of death or injury as a result of playing games on Steam.”
