I heard steam still gives full payment to the dev even if the game is on sale. Is that true?

Only in term of percentages. The dev/publisher still gets the same percent agreed to, but the actual amount of money paid per unit will obviously be less.

Ah I see. Thanks.

Bansama pretty much answered it, but I wanted to point to the Recettear Postmortem, which covers this exactly a little bit. The part about sales is right after the first bolded line, so you don't need to read the whole wall of text.

Do people still buy games from Stardock / Impulse ?

I have bought from them, but typically it is only something I can register elsewhere (like the BF: BC2 I got last week.

Does anybody know what files do you get when you purchase The Witcher from D2D? Is it a single installer with all the content of the Director's Cut or do I have to download the patch separately?
I was thinking of rebuying it because i bought it from the Atari store and my download should have expired by now. I do have a backup but it is the base game, the Enhanced Edition patch and the Director's Cut patch. The first patch removes Tages from the exe but you still have to remove it from your system manually. If this version is all in a single package and it doesn't install Tages to begin with it would be better.

I wish GOG start it's weekend deals on Thursday , like the other DD sites .

Bargin of the year for me, (that includes my 50 pence purchase of Venetica ant £1.06 of Loki steel book)

The Ultimate Wizardry Archives form Sirtech & Interplay from 1998 (Jewel case only)

And the Price £0.99 thats right 99 fucking pence.

Now all I have to do is "aquire" a copy of windows 95 to run it. (will 95 boot from a usb stick?)

Warband is just a refined version of the original, you won't miss anything.

Of course! Who would not support our new Gamestop overlords willingly?

I was tempted to get Sword of the Stars from Impulse, but then it was discounted on Gamersgate as well, so Gamersgate it was.

Newegg has Patrician IV for $9.99

A few things that I would like from here but still waiting to hear something back about a return issue I submitted to them on March 10th.

Din's Curse looks like a nice deal for 7 bucks.
I'd only contemplate it if you get a working serial like for Warband, where you can download the latest version from the developers site and enter the serial to unlock it.
