Whatever you do, don’t leak the Steam sale dates to the public! Oops. Clearly Steam’s plea with its partners to keep these dates private fell on deaf ears because the email ended up on Reddit, being read by millions. According to the leaked email Steam’s Autumn sale will run from November 27th to December the 3rd, with Steam not accepting submissions from game publishers and developers for reduced pricing any later than November 20th. Additionally the email suggests we will see the Steam Holiday Sale shortly after starting from December 19th running through to January 2nd.

There’s no indication of what games will be on offer, except Counter Strike Condition Zero which will apparently be half price to $4.99 and will be part of an additional Steam promotion that reduces it to $2.49 (Daily Deal, Flash Sale or Voting Promotion). Given that every deal/offer needs to be submitted no later than November 20th we can probably expect to see another list or email revealed before the Autumn sale starts but we’re going to have to sit around and wait for that.
