If you've been focusing on the actual games being featured in the Steam Summer Sale, or if you simply haven't maximised your Steam window in a while, you might've missed the mini-drama that's been playing out on the store page's background image. It's an adorable and beautifully understated comic, in which Valve's community mascots Tappet and Sir Roderick Bodkin are building a treehouse. But a jealous Cyl is attempting to sabotage their efforts - the devious black cat is currently constructing something inside Fort Friendship. But what's he building in there?

Following its inclusion in the Steam Summer Sale, minimalist bleakness simulator Dear Esther has sold over a quarter of a million copies. So 
Oh dear. So Ubisoft's Uplay servers, which hold up the mandatory DRM hoop through which your Ubisoft games must jump before you can play them, went offline for most of Sunday. That meant that Ubisoft games such as Anno 2070, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Splinter Cell Conviction were inaccessible to customers. The timing wasn't wonderful either, with the outage happening right in the middle of the Steam Summer Sale, through which Ubisoft had been selling a discounted Anno 2070, as well as a popular Ubisoft bundle. The Uplay service has since come back online, the games you excitedly snapped up in the sale are once again playable, and 
Now this is interesting. If you're in the USA and you've got a pile of old console games just sitting around gathering dust/breadcrumbs/thin layers of bacon fat, you can convert them into Steam funds by trading them in at physical videogames retail bazaar GameStop. Do it during the

Could this really be the complete, unfettered list of games and bundles set to appear in the Steam Summer Sale? It certainly looks like it might be, as a Reddit user has lifted it wholesale from the Open Steamworks Content Description Record database, which lists every Steam game and subscription provided by Valve. Hmm! We've got the full perusable list right here, if you hate surprises.
