The 2019 Steam Summer Sale is On From Today Through July 9th
The annual Steam game sale celebration is here, in the form of the Summer Sale. The now legendary platform for games consumption on the PC ecosystem has announced that from today through July 9th, thousands of games are experiencing price cuts that can go up to 90%. If you're planning to get your game fix, and it isn't an EPIC Games Store Exclusive, you can try and pick it up here at a discounted price - provided you can actually reach the site. Storefront price cuts are Devil May Cry 5 (-34%) and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (-50%) but you can also grab Ni-oh, for example, at a 60% discount. The new Summer Sale now features a Steam Summer Grand Prix mode, where users can band together in groups to complete milestones (including unlocking quests and achievements) that will grant users games from their wishlist as they achieve "Pit Stops".
As it stands, it seems there have been some connection issue,s with users reporting "502 - Bad gateway" errors. For me, the page simply appears blank, with not even a single error report shown (after I finished writing this piece, I tried the steam store page again, and it seems to be working - at least for now.

I'm going to get:
Rise of Nations
Age of Empires III Complete Collection
Act of War: Direct Action
IL2- Sturmovik
Total War: Medieval II
Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
Aquaria
Shadowgrounds Survivor
TimeShift
I still have my physical copies of:
* Rise of Nations. Thought this was a fun game, put a good 80-100 hours into it.
* Age of Empires III. I never really liked it, but I got it free with some hardware purchase years back which is why I even own a copy.
* TimeShift. The game is still factory sealed. I thought the demo I played of TimeShift was pretty good, which is why I bought a copy, but just never got around to playing it.
On my Steam wishlist I have 50 games. Out of those 50, 9 have co-op capabilities. I need to move the single player games to my GoG wish list. I just kind of stopped using Steam as my go to for digital purchases and it's been 12+ months since I purchased a new game on Steam (not counting the recent Grim Dawn DLC). Generally any game I get on Steam these days is gifted to me from my brother to play it co-op.
Bummer
Too bad none of the stores carry RON: Rise of Legends. I somehow missed playing that game back in the day. Both games are from the same Publisher and Developer. Not sure what the issue is with it not being available.
In any case, my yearly budget is pretty much all gone already...

I did however find out which update it was and remove it from the 8.1 build. It was preventing me from installing Wolfenstein (2009), and believe it or not, Microsoft’s own Gears of War.
