The Exploration Sale is live on Steam - save money through December 1

Forgoing the typical sale it hosts seasonally, Valve has gone a slightly different route with its fall sale.

As previously reported, the sale will contain continuous discounts through the Thanksgiving Weekend, without Flash Sales or Daily Deals.

It's said the winter sale, which takes place in time for Christmas, will go the same route.
