Too many times i've got 'There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.' error. And europe price was a fucking joke, for example Xcom, in euro= 9.99 in dolars= 9,99. So yea i'm disappoint of summer sale.

People always say the sale was "Disappointing" because they were expecting Skyrim 80% or something else that ridiculous. The sale is not about HUGE % discounts. It's the amount of games that go on sale in such a short time. So anything you were waiting for to go on sale for the last few months, most likely was available during the sale. Those are the people who walk away from the sale happy.
The ones who were expecting to pay $5 for $50-$40, are the ones who walk away from the sale "disappointed". It's rare that a game gets discounted significantly more on the summer, winter sale, than they would on a weekend or daily deal. The autumn sale has a better chance of having greater deals. 2 yrs ago, I got Empire Total War Gold Edition (Included Empire & Napoleon + All the DLC for both games) for $7. I have never seen that deal ever again.

Thank you. I don't mean to sound passive aggressive, but some people can be whiny as fuck. Be glad that you're getting so many 50%-esque sales in the first place.

I'm only disappointed by the lack of variety in games in daily and flash deals and in the community choice. The same games appear in those everytime. I'd rather see some indie games as daily deals instead of Skyrim and the others for the 6th time.

Waited for prince of Persia or Splinter Cell sale but... never saw more than 30% which, in my opinion is a bit too much for games which came out like 2-3+ years ago. Also, Skyreeeem discount was just ridiculous with 40% off, it has been 2 years and the price is still too high. But that's fine since I've got some shit to do soon anyways so it'd just end up in backlog. Typical $=€ bullcrap I won't even comment.

yeah got myself some free games thanks to trading cards (HL2 Ep one, Tomb Raider Underworld, E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy and Strike Suit Infinity and some DLC's for newest Tomb Raider)
If you used cards this way, they worked out like the coal thingy from previous sale.
previous sales were much better because this time:
some games werent on sale at all (Splinter cell, Amalur, Stalker etc.)
some games were more expennsive than in previous sales (star wars games, Dead Space etc.)
and no publisher packs

About your points:

The Steam seasonal sales have been pretty sucky for the last couple years, but at least this time around we had those stupid trading cards to make up for the overall poor discounts. I grabbed over half a dozen games and a handful of DLC packs, and I managed to keep my cash budget under $10.

I can't believe The Walking Dead was a top seller. Are you serious? Bundled just a couple of weeks ago...

Last day has been Encore day for every major Steam sale over the last 4 years. If you were honestly expecting something different you should probably get your head looked at. Furthermore, being that the card featured in the promotion coincided with the a featured sale every day, and there were only 10 cards, it was pretty much a given that day 11 wouldn't have any new sales.
