grape1829: I like this one: Airline Tycoon Deluxe
Good fun for $2 if you want to play a MadTV clone based on an airline instead of a TV station.
DRM?

grviper: DRM?
You know what? GG's version is publicly DRM-free but the Amazon's version isn't so clear. I definitely do know I used a No-CD crack for my old hardcopy of Evolution and that there was no always-online crap or anything of that sort.

I did, however, try clicking on Checkout on Amazon, and got this:
[i] Airline Tycoon Deluxe (Download)
Platform: Windows Vista / 7 / 98 / 2000 / Me / XP
Download size:536 MB
Download time:14 - 45 minutes on broadband
Installation: Unlimited game installations on computers you own.
$1.99
Available Now.
Sold by Amazon Digital Services, Inc. [/i]
I'd assume that it means what it says, but I probably won't refund you $2 if it turns out Amazon lies. :p

Amazon seem prone to doing things like that. Probably so as to appear in sites that record sales. Problem is that they do it so much, I haven't actually seem them appear in any such sites at all.

Edit to fix GOG's quotation failure.

GMG also had a whooping deal of 2% off from the DX:HR DLC. Are really people punshing those numbers in or is it a script running awol?

CaptainGyro: well isn't $5 for Gold reasonable?
Not for a brand new game of the quality of Dawn of War 2 no. Everyone is free to pay what they want, thats the beauty of a capitalist society. However some people don't want to wait for 5 years to play a game. I paid €30 for Dawn of War 2 and more that got my money's worth out of it. As for 'complete' games I won't be drawn on that argument. If you don't think games like Dawn of War 2, Skyrim or New Vegas have shipped in complete states then you have a very warped interpretation of the word.

lightnica: Wouldn't be the greatest loss. We have thousands of games to chose from already. How many more do we truly need?

It's got to be some kind of attempt to get their stuff on automatically updated sales pages. By having the sale, no matter how crappy, it might be enough to work. One company, I forget which, reported sales in excess of five times the norm every time the did a discount despite not ever going over 10% off.

Ah-hah!

Amazon downloader is just a downloader, which you could argue is an actual benefit — we don’t need anymore bloated clients. With that installed, my purchase automatically started downloading. It downloads one archive file and once the download is complete, it automatically extracts itself and gives you a folder structure of what you’d expect to be an image of the contents of the retail DVD. You then install the game as you would off a disc, and you’ll be asked to enter any type of serial key expected by the game.
It’s worth noting that no additional DRM is added by Amazon.
Seems very GamersGate-ish.

Yeah, and the process of virtually "moving" to the US is too complicated.
Well, GamersGate might offer the exact same games during holiday sales.
