If you’re looking to get into real video gaming, then the PC is your friend. While some websites have touted that PC gaming is dead, the reality is that it’s very much alive, only it’s transferred onto the World Wide Web. One company that has helped push up PC gaming sales over the past few years is Steam.

For those not that familiar with the company, Steam is an online distributor of video games. Almost all gaming titles for the PC are available there. Account holders are able to purchase the game they want, download it, and have a seamless gaming experience, all from the comfort of their recliner. But the biggest draw to the website by far is the low prices.

To begin with, the retail prices offered by Steam are a few dollars cheaper than in traditional stores. However, most buyers choose to hold off until a sale comes on. These are usually packaged as ” Daily Deals ” where a game gets up to 50% off on its usual price. There are also game bundles wherein related games or a game and its add- ons are packaged together for a significantly lower price.

If you’re really serious about saving up on Steam games, then you should wait for the yearly Summer sale. During this time, prices can go down as much as 90%. Be warned though, these prices are insanely cheap, so it’s not unusual for a gamer to have his PC filled with games just because of the daily discounts.
