Why is everyone so sure?

People are sure because they want to be sure cause they want a sale

because reasons

stop making these threads !!!

it's just so boring...

Why so serious?

The main evidence for July 12th is that the developer of Cubemen stated that it was going to start then. He then backtracked and said he wasn't sure, but that may have just been because he realized he leaked something he wasn't supposed to and didn't want to get in trouble with Steam. I believe there's also some circumstancial evidence about games getting their release dates pushed around to clear the schedule around then, but I haven't followed it all that closely.

[edit]: Or see this thread right near the top of the forum.

people need hope, so any date its good enough for them

They can't afford to let too many people die.

The payro says it, and the companion cube agree with him... aslo the claptrap confirm it

Because I had a vision where Gabe Newell came to me and said "Steam summer sale is on July 12th, oh and stop making threads about it.", so yeah.

Because Jesus appeared on my moldy bathtub! ALIENS ARE HERE AND IN OUR GOBERMENT! THE ILLUMINATI ARE POSONING MY FRENCH TOAST!
