Anyone know the norm with this week and steam sales?

Can someone please clarify for me? For years at around this time (week of Black Friday) I have seen massive sales on the games offered by steam, I would buy some 15 games for the price of what would normally get me 2 or 3. I know these sales have to do with the people making the games and that steam doesn't actually have any sales, particularly on black friday, but have one issue of confusion and could use more information coming from people who know more that me.

When does this large collection of discounts usually happen? Regretfully I have never paid attention to when the sales occurred time of week wise and am just curious if I imagined it being near or on Black Friday all these years. It just seems like nothing is discounted compared to how it has seemed in years past. Am I just early or late in regards to checking out the store for discounts?

Thanks in advance for enlightening me y'all!

What about Black Friday?!

Don’t worry—Steam has you covered if you were still hoping to run discounts during the unofficial official start to the holiday shopping season, known in many regions as Black Friday and Cyber Monday (and the days in-between!)

Though Steam will not be hosting a Black Friday sale of its own, we will have Black Friday special offers on our Discounts and Events page from November 24 through December 1st as a way to surface discounted titles of all genres during this time period. This is just like our usual Special Offers Page that we have year-round on Steam, but with extra theming and artwork around Black Friday.

This means November 24th through December 1st is still a great option for running discounts; just be aware that participating in Black Friday Special Offers triggers the usual discount cooldowns and is not exempt the way our seasonal sales are.
