Direct2Drive isn't the only site with early week sales events. Steam is offering up its own deep discount on a title today. It's Pirates of the Burning Sea and from now until December 11 you can purchase and download the pirate-themed MMO title for just $5. That's a whopping 75 percent off its normal $19.99 Steam price. The Steam sale ends on December 11.

The game was launched in January 2008 by Seattle developer Flying Lab Software. The developer has recently announced plans for its first commercial expansion pack titled Power and Prestige that will add new content and features to the game.
