The entire schedule of big seasonal sales and themed Steam Fest events was shared yesterday by Valve. Now you'll know months in advance just how badly your bank accounts are going to hurt.
The list includes four major seasonal sales that include the spring, summer, autumn, and winter sales. In between most of these are small "Fest" events, which also typically have themed sales of their own. There will be Steam Fest events for genres like puzzle games, sports, stealth titles, visual novels, strategy, shoot 'em ups, and horror. There are also a few Next Fest events that will offer previews and demos for upcoming game releases.
