With Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) in full swing, Valve is expected to launch its money-munching Steam Summer Sale, but no one knows when exactly; although, some internet sleuths seem to have an idea when it begins.<\/p>\n

Firstly, a Steam support e-mail responding to a customer asking a query about a Left 4 Dead 2 discount read the following:<\/p>\n

\"Steam<\/a>

Steam Support email<\/p><\/div>\n

Secondly, Steam\u2019s Russian payment partner, QIWI, offered a discount on Steam Wallet deposits ahead of the \u201c11 July sale\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another payment partner, Yandex.Money<\/a>, also put the same offer up ahead of the \u201csale\u201d.<\/p>\n

There are a few indicators from Steam itself, such as the Midweek Madness deals scheduled to end six hours earlier than usual, and a Team Fortess 2 update packing a mysterious “Summer Appetizer crate”.<\/p>\n

So by all accounts, it really does appear that Steam Summer Sale will kick off on 11 July 2013. I guess we\u2019ll see tomorrow.<\/p>\n
