If the steam sale did end on July 4th, do you think it was too short?
I remember having to walk up hill from home to get to the summer sale during a raging snowstorm (yes, in winter. It happened a lot before global warming. Look it up or something), and then once you realized that the games all cost more than two bits so you had to walk up hill on the way home.

Yeah, not since they instituted the whole refund system and I would think that it has to do with that. I mean you don't want a bunch of people refunding a game and creating overhead because it goes for cheaper later during the sale.
As far as the cards go, you mean because it's not from voting for community deals anymore? There's a script that you can get that will automatically go through your discovery queue to get the daily promotional cards so that it makes it fairly effortless and works quickly.

I don't. I would rather not feel like I have to hang around for such things for fear of missing out. I like knowing that all the sales are going to be there until the end and I can put off looking through them until later if I so desire, which I generally do. So this format is better for me personally, even though I do appreciate the whole anticipation/excitement factor of flash sales.

Yeah, like huh... five days ago. Two weeks long, as usual.

I think that a month would be perfect because if you're unlucky enough to not be able to access your pc or your internet connection for those two weeks (exams, vacations or many others) you will miss the sales.
And hurrying you (i.e. making a "summer" sale lasting only two weeks) is definitely more a marketing choice than a customer-friendly choice.

Because you wouldn't be able to "enjoy" fully the sales...you know, searching for new games, maybe tryin to collect as many special TC as possible etc. Yes, with half an hour you can do the "minimum needed" but with longer sales it's more likely that a very few people will miss deals, special TC and the whole "sale experience".

Man, I dunno, if you want to argue about the minutes and hours and all the lil' details of a practical example you should talk to someone like the OP who expressed the need of longer sales.
What I'm saying is that longer sales would be better for some people and surely won't change your life and the life of who like me managed to save enough time to enjoy the sales, that's all.

It has a standard length, I don't know what you were expecting.

The Steam Summer Sale didn't end. It's just hibernating for a little bit.

I only logged for the daily three cards, went through my wishlist once and haven't bought a thing. Crafted badges for the free +1 cards.

Eh, it was disappointing anyway. The sales were pure garbage. It might have just been the most anticlimatic thing I've ever experienced.
I wanna be selfish and say that it should have ended after a week because I literally couldn't care less about it after a week due to how bad the sales were, but I think 2 weeks was just about the right time. Not too long that it lost it's magic, and not too short that most people got to experience it.

You know, every single game on sale told you how long they were going to be on sale for...

Since the offers didn't change during the sale, I would say even one week would be enough.

The sale lasted as much as the previous sales did but the deals were same from day 1 till the end

Sorry to say it, but you reminded me of poor old Herman here.
