I kind of doubt pissing off large groups of customers and possibly costing your company thousands of dollars in selling keys under the price you owe the publisher is a good marketing strategy.

I first believed it was like Heretic777 said. But the lastet debacle is the proof it is not.
GG never had a forced refund like that (at least none that happen to me since 2009).

Let me clarify quickly...had GG came out and publicly said, "hey, are system f*cked up, and we cannot afford to honor these and we ask that you accept a refund and our apologies" the majority of the people, especially GOGers would easily accept it and say sure...mistakes happen (in GG's case, a ton of them, but whatever=P).

They have done nothing to spin this in a positive manner and do not deserve sympathy...in fact they made it worse by saying they were going to honor the bethesda deal but everyone had the option of a refund if they did not want to wait. That was their biggest mistake. Good luck to them, maybe they will bounce back...but they have a lot of work to do first.
Also the bethesda deal is not a ultra steal like some of their other messups. I fully expect Steam would have had a deal on the bethesda pack for around $50 had this not happened (Dishonored is the only game that has not went below 50%)....now i doubt bethesda/zenimax will push one through after this crap.

Sorry but I don't agree. It is their responsibility to ensure they are pricing their products correctly. It is NOT the customer's responsibility to ensure that. You price a product incorrectly, then it's your own damn fault if people purchase it at that price. Even more so when this has been happening for an extended period of time.

Thanks for clearing that up.
You're cool. :)
I totally agree with you. GG has fucked up bad and it will cost them money or reputation or both.

So more Sales are waiting and more ErrorGates...

So, back to business o more sales

New flash deals on Steam

Giana Sisters at 66%
Driver SF 75%
Tony Hawks Pro Skater HD 50%

Tying in to another thread on these forums, this is just another example of GOG not competing when it comes to individual games. I'll probably grab this from Steam.

That's usually the official ruling when buying stuff, yes: the seller is responsible for their prices.
But it does not make your decision a source of 'good karma' for knowingly buying goods with the wrong price tag.

Don't get me wrong, I am cheapskate for games as can be ;) but there is a difference between a great sale and the Bethesda Bundle.

They are a business. They get treated like one. It's that simple.

EDIT: ahh, just forget it...

Back to Topic...

Edit: Yeah, I'll yield on the GG talk too as they are doing bad enough on their own to make a separate topic if need be.

Back to finding cheap games.

Just noticed GetGamesGo has a cheap as chips sale again. Seems to be mostly repeats / their typical stuff but there may be a few exceptions f.i.

Anno 1404 / Dawn of Discovery) (4,19€)

Anyone already else checked into the new http://www.Galagiveaways.com site wher you can participate in free steamkey giveaways and give away you steam keys?

It's a bit like 'grab bag' (Grabbelsack in German) where you can particpate in giveaways of your choice and winners get seleced randomly. You need your Open steam Id connected to participate.

It's a funny idea but I am not convinced entirely.

They are using only a client as DRM, right?
$2.70 for Cold Fear is tempting.

Guess today's GamersGate glitch . :p

Bioshock Infinite and Metro Last Light preorders by -75% XD
