Valve has put up their huge Winter Sale 2022 with tens of thousands of games that are discounted, plus you can now vote for the winners of the Steam Awards. This is a great time to stock up on games ready for the holiday season, or to just fill up your Steam Library ready to play through 2023 because I'm sure you don't have many games you haven't played yet right?
Direct Link
The sale is live until January 5, 2023 at 10am PST / 6pm UTC. With voting for nominees now over too, you can also begin voting for the winners in the Steam Awards.
A few suggestions on some great deals to pick up that are Steam Deck Verified, so they should also be no problem to run on desktop Linux too:
- SCARLET NEXUS - 75% off
- My Friend Pedro - 75% off
- Oxygen Not Included - 70% off
- No Man's Sky - 50% off
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - GOTY Edition
- Space Haven - 50% off
- God of War - 40% off
- Valheim - 30% off
- Brotato - 20% off (my personal GOTY)
What will I be picking up? Nothing! I'm finally taking a stand, locking my wallet away and going through some games I picked up in previo…oh look at that Life is Strange: True Colors is 60% off — oops.
See all on the Steam Store. As a reminder, it usually struggles with traffic at the start, so wait a while if it's loading to slow or not loading at all for you.

Lol- good luck! I did not purchase any games in 2021 and for 2022, I think I bought Monster Sanctuary and some DLC for Cities: Skylines. I did get a few of the free give aways, though.
I've found it oddly pleasant not buying a bunch of games and I've been playing more, enjoying the games I do have.
I do intend to buy a few games in the future, but only when I'm ready to play them (sales be damned, lol):
Rimworld's DLC
Skyrim (if it seems like the mod situation is pretty stable on Linux)
Factorio's DLC
I'm sure there's other games, but I can't think of them off the top of my head, so they must not be that interesting (to me).

I doubt I'll buy anything in the sales, I barely have time to play anything these days.

Quoting: WorMzyPretty lacklustre choices for the Steam Awards -- only four categories have Linux games as options. :(

I kinda totally forgot about those. Probably due to the other award show they were involved in, lol.
Probably pick up Loop Hero regardless, since it's pretty cheap right now.
