Ready to spend all of your money on games you may or may not actually play? The Steam Winter Sale is almost here, so now’s the chance!

As confirmed by the PayPal UK Twitter account (weird, I know, but whatever) the Steam Winter Sale will start on Dec. 22. That’s only a few days away!

We don’t know what will be on sale this time around, but we can tell you to expect some heavy discounts on great games. Even if you don’t want to spend too much money, the number of games that will only be $5 is likely to be massive. There will also be deals changing every day, and some changing even more frequently than that. Be sure to check back often for new discounts on games. And add stuff to your Steam wishlist now, too.

Given the lack of promotion from Valve about the sale, there probably will not be a crazy metagame like we’ve seen with previous sales. Don’t expect any trading cards, or joining teams, or going to camp or any of those other promotions disguised as games.

So what do you think? Are you ready to splurge on new games once the Steam Winter Sale gets going? Will you hold off until after the holidays in case you get a game as a gift? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
