No one cares about this post, but it's "Lunar New Year," and not only Chinese people celebrate it.

[xxhoasenxx]

Everyone maybe says I just overreact and wrote this sh*t post but a few years ago, Steam always puts the name "Lunar New Year" in the lunar new year sale, however this year, they just put the name "Chinese New Year" in the sale, does Steam now try to sell games for Chinese players only? I don't mean to offend Chinese people or make a war here but people in Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia... still celebrate this event. I thought people in Steam actually respect about Asian culture, I feel disappointed.

It's based on the Chinese lunisolar calendar. So, name is not technically wrong.

its kinda odd but in china they mainly call it lunar new year but chinese new year is used when mention it outside china mainly in SEA region singapore, malaysia, indonesia we do say lunar new year too but kinda rare. dunno about japan or korea.

まりさ I never said it's wrong, a lot of countries in Asia uses lunar calendar base on moon phases, in the past people not from asia just call everything asian chinese. Come on, it's the 21st century, man, imagine a western meets an asian, start speaking Cantonese and later realize that asian is a Japanese person. A small change can help a lot of people happy (maybe not include you)

well I mean if you wanna get technical about it, then a lot of Steam holidays are named wrongly, except for -this- one... :/ I wonder why that is ? we only have 4...
'technical' name; Christmas sale -> Winter sale. .
'technical' name; Summer Solstice sale. -> Summer sale. .
but the correct name of Lunar New Year -> 'technical' Chinese New Year?

You can see a rabbit on the moon from China and in Europe we can see a face that smilling.

I thought Spring sale Summer sale, Autumn sale,Winter Sale actually big sales base on 4 seasons of year not base on any event or holiday, Autumn sale sometimes even barely runs in Autumn. And is there an event or holiday name "Summer Solstice"???!!!!

that's the issue I'm pointing out. yes.

Lunar New Year gets renamed to Chinese New Year.

Summer Solstice which is a celebration is renamed to Summer Sale.

Christmas is renamed to Winter Sale.

It never was named a christmas sale, your argument holds as much water as a sieve.

Well, I think I got your idea, but I joined Steam in 2014, and I don't remember the summer sale being called Summer Solstice Sales and the winter sale being called Christmas Sales. Unless they actually got those names from 2003–2013, how do you rename Winter Sale if it's already called Winter Sale? Anyway, there comes a point where I agree with you that Steam can call anything they want; 'caus it's STEAM HOLIDAY, they can run a "KUNG FU" sale and sell games about Karate, Taekwondo and other martial arts.

Apology for my ignorance but I don't get what you mean, Shakespeare but what do people see from other Asian countries?

I believe it's because people know it's around Christmas, so sooner or later it gets in their mind as such. I believe it's only been the "Holiday Sale" and "Winter Sale"

Here's a very thorough list of sales going back quite far:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=759205611

There's articles likely confusing some people, as those individuals writing it label it the "Christmas Sale" rather than Steams own word use, probably because it happens around & during the Holidays. Hence the confusion is likely those making articles about sales, or people knowing what sales are around what particular thing.

Thanks for info, pal. In the end, it's about Steam word uses and Steam do what they want, so I'm just here for salt, lol

CNY or LNY actually is a celebration based on the upcoming Spring season.
They could technically call it a Spring sale and it would still be in the ball park.

Valve is having their own Spring sale now.
