I suggested to Valve that they should have a Ramadan sale.

If they're not going to have a real holiday sale named 'Christmas Sale' they're not going to do a 'Ramadan Sale'.. Just wouldn't make sense..

It's not a Christmas sale, it's a winter sale.

Why should the Muslim religion get a special sale when no other religions get a sale?

If Valve do that they'll have to introduce a sale for Christians, Jews, Hebrews, Buddhists, Sikhs and any other religions so that they don't appear to be favouring one group or another. Then they'll have to introduce a sale to keep the atheists and agnostics happy. And since neither of those have special seasons, it'll we'll have a year long sale and it'll loose the special feel.

TL;DR: Bad idea is bad.

Given that religion is one of the richest veins a good troll can mine, you seem to have failed spectacularly here...

Will we ever have a sell to celebrate Poseidon's month (December). I think that Valve are very discriminating against people who believe in Ancient Greek religion.

The comments in this thread pretty much sum up why I hate these forums.

Aren't muslims supposed to be all pious and patient and worshippy during Ramadan?
Be a little distracting to be drooling over deals :D.

What about Steam Kwanzaa sale? As an african refugee curently seeking asylum in Bosnia im slighly offended that we dont have it yet

Saigon, why do you gotta do this, mate? Are you seriously asking for a game site to make a sale acknowledging your religion or are you trolling?

What about holy Lord Cthulhu!!! I demand sale every week in the name of Lord Cthulhu, long may he reign!

I'm starting to think this was a major troll thread. Please close this down mods before it gets ugly.

if we have a Ramadan sale we will need a sale for every religious event.

Snow globes are hemispherist!

Actually, I'm quite impressed that the "Steam Autumn Sale" this year was actually the "Steam Spring Sale" for southies. It was a nice touch.

This is such a fucking stupid idea.

I would consider this a good idea from only one perspective: Taking all religious festivities and every thinkable celebration into account (what about a sale on 26th of October, the national holiday of Austria?) this would mean one simple thing:

Big sales every single day the whole year long! :)

Though I don't think my wallet would be any happy...

We have enough of muslims all over the world. Sorry ;)

I simply love the amount of hate this tread generated :)

Someone at Valve is reading your e-mail and rolling their eyes, no offense.

A guy makes a suggestion and everyone starts hating. We all know for a fact that Steam Winter Sale is for Christmas/New Year.

Why not a Cake sale.. a Cake sale will be best.. everyone loves Cake.

This thread lol

Spring sale, Summer sale, Autumn sale, Winter sale.
Ramadan is not a season. Case closed.

Can't tell if trolling, and assuming so makes me feel racist/anti-religion. It's called a winter sale, so I'm sure it tries to encapsulate without singling out holidays such as Ramadan and Kwanza. Diwali would only be relevant enough for the India region store, and a Ramadan specific event would only be well received/relevant in specific regions. Though it would actually be a good replacement for all of the Christmas/snow related imagery during the holiday sale, but in essence it would be a reskin of the same sales and activities. But really, most companies are secular for a multitude of reasons.

lol

We had summer, spring and autumn sales, now winter sales, absolutely nothing religion-related :)

Just pretend that the Summer Sale is really for Ramadan, just like Christians pretend that the Winter/Holiday Sale is really for Christmas.

note: I don't mean to imply this refers to all Christians, or all Muslims. In fact, it may only apply to one person. He probably lives in the Rocky mountains and is probably named Ted.
