I can't vote either. It doesn't take it. I've tried probably a dozen times.

It's only $10 now (33% off). Why not just buy it now?

To me, the whole point of "summer sale" is getting titles @ 50% or more off. I refuse to buy "on sale" @ 30% during Summer and Christmas STEAM sales, as during the rest of the year, those are the deals you get. Special sale, special deals!


Voted for Bastion!

I concur.

Anyway this has been on sale on Steam before, as that's how i got it. Fantastic game, probably one of the best ive played so i voted for it.
A few of the games that have been in user votes ive already got in past sales like Portal 2.

I think virtually all games get the 60-75% regardless if they win or not--just have to wait a day or two for it to happen. For example, Saints Row The Third won, it went off sale, and now it is back on sale for 75%. That was likely pre-planned.

I bought it in the humble indie pack. Buy above the average market rate and get bastion free. I don't know if they are still running that one though.
