Steam Sale FAQ!
Q: When does the sale end?
A: The 2018 Steam Halloween Sale ends on Nov 1, 2018 @ 10:00AM Pacific. Click here to convert it into your time.
   
Q: Are sale prices constant throughout the sale?
A: For the most part, yes. However, it is up to the developer if they wish to make changes to the percent off. Most will leave it, but some may have to correct errors or put something on sale that didn't get flagged for it, etc.
   
Q: Should I wait until the end of the sale to buy things?
A: Don't wait until the end of the sale As the per previous question the prices for games are going to be the same throughout the sale. If you encounter technical issues with your purchase at the end of the sale, you will miss out on the sale price. Steam will not retroactively give you the sale price once the sale ends.
If you see something you want, just buy it.
   
Q: Why won't the store load? Why are my downloads so slow?
A: There is severe load under Steam's servers, both store and content servers. Just give it some time, and try again later. Also, don't forget to check the server status on the sidebar.

Q: Can I share the games that I have with my family or friends?
A: Yes, you may do so through Family Sharing, for more information read here. However, keep in mind that redeemed games are permanently tied to your library and cannot be transferred between accounts or exchanged.
   
Q: Why is adding gifts to my inventory is not an option?
A: The ability to store gifts in your inventory was removed on the 4th of May 2017.
You can read more about it here.

Q: Can games be cheaper on other sites during the sale? What sites should I check?
