Google Play's End of Summer Sale outed by discounted apps, lets the Lorax speak for the savings

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/31/google-plays-end-of-summer-sale-outed-by-discounted-apps/)

It looks like a handful of select apps have outed Mountain View's Labor day plans: Google Play's End of Summer Sale. [_SwiftKey 3_](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/21/swiftkey-3-for-android-out-of-beta/), _The Lorax -- Dr. Seuss_, Square Enix's _Crystal Defenders_, and other apps are now brandishing deep discounts, almost uniformly attributing the savings to the End of Summer Sale. Not every title on discount claims to be part of the unannounced event, however -- [_Max Payne Mobile_](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/12/max-payne-mobile-hits-android-june-14th/) slashed its price by 67 percent without so much as a hint at the alleged festivities. Google hasn't made the event official just yet, but we'd be willing to wager the deals will run through the holiday weekend.
