Trying to predict the biggest gaming sales events used to be like guessing the weather in the Arctic—sometimes you got it right, but mostly, you were guessing. PC gamers have played this game before, basing their guesses on past sales. But honestly, that was like predicting where a cat will land after a jump—unreliable at best. Now, thanks to Valve, the guessing game is over. They’ve shared the full schedule, so you can stop pretending to be a psychic. Grab some popcorn because Valve’s got you covered!
