Correct. Along with 5,000 other threads like "While there be a Valentine's day sale?" "Will there be a leap year sale?" "Will there be a St Patrick's Day sale?" "Will there be an Easter sale?" "Will there be a my birthday sale?"

I lol'd at that.

I am fairly sure that the next sale will be in the summer some time.

Summer Sale. Halloween Sale. Autumn Sale. Holiday Sale.

... why would they wait all the way until summer when they crammed two smaller sales in before the last Holiday Sale? Certainly Spring Sale's not gonna be as big as Summer or Holiday Sale, but they're bound to do another sale before that...

... especially given how crappy the recent daily sales have become. Guess they're saving up the good stuff.

I wouldn't count on a sale until summer.. which is fine by me, I still have a ton of games I haven't even started yet from the holiday sale.

From a purely 'retail' perspective this makes sense since traditionally most people spend their money at the end of the year during Christmas. Thus the 'back loading' of sales. Of course Steam is known for being able to make money in non-traditional ways.

My bank account begs for the next one to be Summer and not Spring.

I think people are being a little harsh about British summers. I'm only 34 and I can remember a summer.

The first time I went to London in April, it was literally 45C outside and the train systems weren't running because the rails were BUCKLING because of the heat. Note that a lot of places have no AC and being suck in a train going 5kph with other sweaty commuters was like hell on earth. I got heat stroke and to sit out one day of my vacation.

I've lived in Manchester for twelve years now. I'm sure that summers here are just a myth perpetuated by oldtimers as they sit round their jugs of ale in the constant rain talking about the rose tinted days of their youth.
