I can't even begin to imagine how much their yearly profits are due to the summer sale alone. Yeah, they're selling cheap, but the sheer magnitude of how much they're selling easily dwarfs any other week.
Given the number of "special" sales they do each year I am surprised they make any money at all during their normal retail sessions. I can count on one hand the number of games I have bought at original retail prices. So much so that I wonder why people still do it. Even Max Payne 3 is on sale. It came out
last month for crying out loud!
The "problem" is that once you've been through a few of the Steam sales, you have most of the stuff they're offering already. I have over 200 games on Steam and most were bought during Sales. The only bundle it would make sense for me to get anymore is Popcap's, and I just might do that this year!
Damn! I just realized the Deus Ex:HR DLC is on sale and I don't have it! FUCK!
