Good idea. i wasn't sure if it would make it here on GOG because the Exile games never made it, so i went ahead and purchased. Amazon should be around for a very long time, so my digital games there should be OK.

I'm sorry if this has been posted here before..

but thought this was an amazing deal

http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/games/rpgs/deus-ex-human-revolution-augmented-edition/

50% off!!

Just note that the games on there are more amateur than amateur so be careful as to how much you spend towards any one game because there is more of a chance that it might not work.

And while you're there I can highly recommend Helena The 3rd.

.... not for me. Crysis 2 still 39.99€ and DA2 49.99€ - in fact, I haven't seen even 1 game with a discounted offer ever since I installed Origin.

He's been around for ages and he's still putting out new games, so his pricing must be working well enough for his needs.
Model trains go back a lot longer than computers. This is just an extension of the hobby. Maybe they'd get more sales at lower prices, or maybe there aren't enough enthusiasts to keep the train modeling going without the high cost. It's a niche project, so I don't lose sleep over how they handle pricing.

Years ago he thought his games should cost half what mainstream RPG games cost. Mainstream RPGs cost ~$60 at the time so he offered his for $30.

Times have changed (favorably I would say) and now most of his games are $15 on his site. Some are available elsewhere cheaper.
Avadon for $10
Avernum 4 for $10
Genforge 1-5 for $20

Here's a his blog post outlining his change in mind.

Dawn of War 2 Gold for 5 bucks. Tempting. Registers on steam.

http://www.amazon.com/Warhammer-40-000-Dawn-War/dp/B0047T7UFI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321748490&sr=8-5

Those two are brillant! I But be aware that both titles also use GFWL.

Edit: Yes, both. Steam and GFWL!

nice deal.. might note that this is only available to US customers though..

Yeah, GFWL is the main reason I am NOT getting it. Might get Retribution when it is ludicrously cheap, though.

Origin seems to have a strange policy when it comes to deals. This is the first I noticed. But you not missing out much. Both games have been cheaper elsewhere and with chrismas coming up you can expect another huge deal on at least DA 2
Retribution is by far the worst of the three. And DoW II was not only my first GFWL game, but the game for which I updated my rig. I was -very- sceptical at first, because my love for MS wasn't that big. But I for my part had zero problems with GFWL.

I'm not trying to convert you or anything, just my two cents ;-).

most xbox gamers don't even notice GFWL is installed since it acts almost identically to XBL... I actually quite like it since it means I still get points when on my pc

Dont fall for it. DoW1 Gold at Impulse for $5 and DoW2 Gold at Amazon for $5. Both games have complete collections with all the expansion packs. In a year or two, they will be on sale at Xmas for $5, be patient. The game companies are trying to milk the franchise for every penny by releasing first Vanilla, then separate expansions, then Gold or Ultimate, then Platinum, then Complete. If you have plenty of games like me, then just wait 5 years and get the final Complete version for $5.

Wow... that's an interesting strategy there. If everyone did that there wouldn't be a games industry in 5 years.
