Sale ended as i was shoping

[Haris82]

Damn that sucked, i finally caved in and added 25 euro. And while i was shoping sale ended and everything in my cart went up in price. So had to empty it. :(

The sale has been going on since the 22nd and the end time and date was visible on the store page.

All I saw for the sale date was that it ended July 5th. I saw this all over the place.

Why on EARTH would you run a sale to the 5th and end it mid day? It should have gone to 12 AM EST like every normal person would expect.

Thanks guys!

Yea i just missed the end time thing. Thought i had to midnight. :(

[Moon Waffles]

Oh well.... You had plenty of time.

It was updated every day. The banner on the store page was clear about the day and time.

Surprised you didn't see the 10am PDT as it was right there next to the 5th. It's only 'mid-day' in some countries and Steam's store refresh time is the same as it has been for well over a decade. This is a global store afterall and not a region-based one.

Ended up buying less than half of what I wanted because the Steam's browser erased my cart as the sale was ending. I couldn't remember all the niche games and deep sales I spent all week adding to cart from all the discovery queue viewing. Never going to use steam client to buy games again.

(except it's next sale rather than next week)

Seriously though, just keep the games in your wishlist and you'll get e-mails when they go on sale at whatever random times they do.

Also, Steam's new day always starts at 10 AM U.S. Pacific Time (standard or daylight depending on the time of year).

And like every big slae, people waited until the very last minute of a freaking 10 day long sale to buy their stuff. And people still don't know when Steam updates.

I waited because I wasn't sure whether I'd want to buy anything.

I bought the thing I knew I was going to buy, early on.

Then I was like, I'm on the fence on a few other games.

In the end, I didn't buy them.

This continues my streak of spending more in GOG's summer sale than Steam's summer sale, which has been the case for the past few years.

This year might have been a trend-buckler since I only bought $3.48 in GOG's sale. But then I only spent $1.99 in Steam's.

Ironically the $1.99 was a gift. I don't like the new gifting policy so it would have been better to send a message against it by not buying a gift, but...it was a commitment I'd made since shortly after the previous semiannual sale.
