The Steam summer sale is like a new holiday tradition almost, without all the unnecessary drama of assembling your entire family under one roof, inevitably setting off an argument about why Aunt Nadine insists on wearing that pungent perfume or why Cousin Carl continues to give noogies to everyone he sees.
The sale got off to a bit of a slow start today, as the original announcement saw the site crash under the extreme interest. It seems to be doing much better now, only dropping out occasionally.
