I'm here because I found some good deals here and my moral code is such that try to pay back people that help me. In this case it has been by posting any deals I see that haven't been posted previously.

Strawmen are for fools.

And yet the fight against ignorance continues. "If you know you are right, you are wrong".

Count the posts, count the posts about those deals. Cry inside as this thread has become just like every other thread on GOG.

With that, I feel I've given back enough and I won't be posting further deals.

THERE WILL BE NO FUN ON THE INTERNET. THERE WILL BE NO BANTER. THERE WILL BE NO DISCUSSION.

NO TALKING. ONLY DEALS. SUCH ARE THE RULES OF JIMTHEV!

Seriously, some people enjoy being part of a community. I can appreciate to an extent the frustration in having to wade through pages to get to deals, but quite honestly, if your primary interest is deals and nothing else, there are places out there that do that. I prefer the human touch, thanks very much.

Where?

If you're talking about the referral links I put there, I do so as it helps (in it's own way) to pay all the related hosting fees (while also thanking me for the work I put into the site -- when I'm not busy =/). The more people who buy at GamersGate with those links (which are fully visible on mouse over), the less money I spend on Games and thus, can put towards the cost of the server each month and domain registration, etc.

But, with that said, that's the only place I use referral links. When I post GG links anywhere else, such as here, I just post the standard links.

(And no, I didn't take what you said the wrong way)

As for Steam's current deal, at least they actually went to the trouble of showing the one game Japan can buy. Unlike yesterday's blank page.

Also, GamersGate's space sale will end tomorrow, so if you want some space sims, etc., I'd hop on that sooner rather than later.

Read the post before his.

Seriously, some people are actually interested in the facts. They don't mind a few distractions here and there, but mostly they want to get THAT out of a thread, what was discribed in the headline - quiet obviously, this isn't possible in this case anymore.

As you've put it: there are more then enough places out there to do your "appreciation of the community" and "prefering the human touch". Actually a LOT more (honestly, about the entire rest of this board for example), then the other way around.

However, I have to accept the human nature of cluttering everything with junk. So don't worry - I'm outta here and won't bother you guys anymore.

I'm getting blind. Thanks. :)

Because all your bluster has really helped keep the thread on track.

I've got several bookmarks of sites that *just* show the facts if you want those. Personally I happen to like to be able to talk about the deals as well, especially with the community here.

I would still like to know how asking if a game is good or not derails the thread. If you just want an endless stream of posts about deals then add Savygamer to an RSS feed and job done.

He's not really doing anything wrong.

I post in another forum where I use a GG affiliate link in my sig in hopes to score some biz for GG and credit for me. I thought showing off your affiliate link was the whole idea.

I've never heard of these games though, so I can't recommend (or the other way 'round) them.

I was gonna comment but I couldnt think of a way that wouldnt sound dickish :-)

Oh I have The Oil Blue in my wishlist on GamersGate - just waiting for a deal, maybe it's time to get it now :)

If you want some references for it, here is helpful article: http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2010/06/exclusive_preview_the_oil_blue.html
