Steam Summer Sale 2017 Dates Confirmed

Steam Summer Sale 2017 Dates Confirmed

The Steam Summer Sale 2017 begins on June 22. This has been confirmed by PayPal. The company revealed the Steam Summer Sale 2017 start date in a tweet.

"It’s official. The #SteamSummerSale starts 22/06 at 6pm BST and PayPal customers get an extra £5 off *terms apply," PayPal tweeted.

While no mention on what games will be discounted, we won't be surprised to see recent titles like Prey, Bayonetta, and Tekken 7 receive price drops in addition to For Honor, Nier Automata, and Ghost Recon Wildlands. Hopefully this year's sale does not disappoint. Steam Summer Sale 2017 India time

The Steam Summer Sale starts at 10:30pm IST on June 22 for Indian gamers.
As for when the Steam Summer Sale 2017 ends, a leak via Valve's developer forums claims that it ends on July 5, which is inline with past sale dates.

Valve is yet to officially comment and we doubt it will. Hopefully this year's sale will be less dramatic than last year's Winter Sale that saw the service being offline for awhile.

This year has seen Valve make a host of changes to how it manages customer support, curation, and games on Steam. While its unlikely that the Steam Sale will be subject to sweeping reform, it's interesting to see how it treats this year's Steam Summer Sale amidst changes galore. One of these major changes was removing Steam Greenlight and replacing it with Steam Direct.
First announced in February, Valve had not, at the time zeroed in on how much Steam Direct would cost for developers to use the platform. After much consideration, Steam Direct will cost $100 (around Rs. 6,428).

“We’ve decided we're going to aim for the lowest barrier to developers as possible, with a $100 recoupable publishing fee per game, while at the same time work on features designed to help the Store algorithm become better at helping you sift through games,” a post from Valve reads. It goes on to say that an element of human curation would be infused into Steam’s processes in terms of content discovery.

Synology DiskStation DS716+II

Highlights The NAS comes with support for 4K transcoding It also includes hardware encryption support Synology DiskStation DS716+II is priced at Rs. 49,500 By now, most of our readers should be familiar with the name Synology. While the first Synology NAS unit we reviewed, the DiskStation DS215j, was a member of the J series targeted at home users, the unit we have today is part of the Plus series, with offerings for small and medium-sized businesses. This means the DS716+II comes at a premium compared to the DS215j, and this is justified not only in terms of beefed-up hardware, but the build quality as well. While the DS215j felt a little flimsy when opened, that's definitely not the case with DS716+II. The unit 1 looks really slick in black and has a metallic finish worthy of its positioning in the Synology lineup. Anyone familiar with the Synology naming scheme will recognise that the DS716+II comes with a support for a total of 7 drive bays, but...
