I usually put a pithy line or two snarking about the annual Steam summer sale in this post, but this year, I can’t bring myself to do it because for once I have actually been really looking forward to it. That’s because I just got a Steam Deck (they’re surprisingly back in stock, by the way, after being OOS much of June), and I’ve got a wish list a mile long. And for MMO and multiplayer gamers, I did spy some goodies you might be interested in. Bonus: Nothing in this post is an affiliate link!

Outside of Steam…
• Check out the major sales on World of Warcraft and the Diablo franchise over on Battlenet: War Within is $25, while Diablo IV and its expansion bundle are down to $42.
• If you aren’t a Guild Wars 2 on Steam person, you can get those same deals from ArenaNet directly.
• And both LOTRO and Dungeons and Dragons Online have some past expansions and bundles on sale. LOTRO’s Legacy of Morgoth is 20% off; older packs are between 30-70% off. DDO’s Magic of Myth Drannor is 30% off, while even earlier expansions are 50-85% off. This would be a good time to pick up the older ultimate fan bundles if you’ve been wanting them, as they often have boosts, character slots, cosmetics, toolkits, and carry-alls worth more than the sale price.
By all means, tell us about anything you spied that we didn’t include – and tell us what you’re getting!
