Noticed something about the badges for the Summer Sale, there's one for voting 20 times and another for voting every day. Month long sale?

Na, the voting period is 8 hours long.

Nothing on the flash or daily sales for me so far, they are all either games I already own, too expensive for me to pickup even with the discount or simply not of interest. When the servers are actually working, it looks like most other games are running at 40%-50% off even if they are not headlined.

Noticed something about the badges for the Summer Sale, there's one for voting 20 times and another for voting every day. Month long sale?

Sale is from 12th to 22nd inclusive so I expect between 29 to 32 flash votes over the sale depending on when they actually end it.

E: Serious question now, what happens if I buy a few thousand copies of this?

First you'll have to find a way to add it to your cart.

2.50$ for the sword of islam CK2 expansion, nice!

9.99 for ck2 is amazing too for anyone that still do not have it.

Badges, like these. Started just over an hour ago. The votes are for the community choice on the flash sales on the sotre front page, every 8 hours throughout the sale.

There may be something else going on later as it is reported as one of the Valve employees has said that they were "working on events, collect your badges for now"

Oh, good. I don't get on steam much so I usually end up being a day or two late to these sales.

And crap, steam is being super laggy. If the summer sale literally just started then I guess I understand why.

The Indie Bundle is some of the last few Humble Bundles.

You've missed not being to access the store.

Sorry
The Steam Store is experiencing some heavy load right now. Please try again later.
You'll get a lot of this. Might be able to access pages every few tries.

There are flash sales going on (lasting less than 12 hours, some as little as 5, it seems), so you'll want to check pretty frequently.

I've got little interest in indie bundles since I've been all over the humble ones.

But I do have interest in other things, and I can't buy them since the store is freaking out. Oh well, hopefully they'll get this fixed soon.

Are these community badges new? Because I've done most of this stuff before.
