OK soma does look intriguing Grim Dawn not so much but that may also be due to having a Mac so it makes the risk even riskier...

Don't get me wrong, for the most part I agree it's a big gamble, but this may be the only way for some Devs to come on board and avoid seeing their games go for $1 minimum bids.

for a Mac, yeah, I wouldn't do it.
Probably not for Linux either.

DIG 1C RPG Bundle

Green Man Gaming (which I just joined last week) sent me an email with a unique code to buy their <span class="bold">Golden Pack</span> for $1....but I can't figure out what the hell the games are and I'm NOT gonna buy it without knowing.

Anyone got any info on this?

The same page: The third game is random. Here is one thread about it in the SteamGifts forums

Sid Meier's Pirates 2004 (already on GOG), Spec Ops: The Line (not on GOG) and the third game is probably one of the Age of Fear games.

Edit: Too slow.

My third game was Keebles. It was a buck, I did not have Pirates so I got two for a buck anyway.

Thank you all for pointing out what I had missed....if they'd highlighted the titles in some fashion, maybe I would've caught them myself. :-p

I got lifeless as my third game. Didnt get great Steam reviews though.

Gamersgate has the Civilization VI pre-order for 30% off if you pay in blue coins. Which is the best deal I'm aware of for Civilization VI.

Has anyone used Gamersgate recently? How reliable are they for pre-order keys? It's been a few years since I last shopped there.

Haven't you learned anything?
Just check the latest Mafia III reviews and how people who preorder get screwed over again!
Mafia 1 and 2 are _veeeery well_ received, so no need to question the quality of Mafia III, right? Turned out: no.
I only remember very, very few instances where preorder people did not get a broken or otherwise crippled game to begin with, in the last years. You can't trust any AAA-game these days, unfortunately, it has come to this.

But to answer your question, GamersGate is save for delivering keys. Sometimes they have a trade-lock of 10 mins until you can request your key but that's it.

Another heads up for that pre-order.

The only thing you get from doing that, is access the Aztec pack:

"Pre-Order to receive early access* to the Aztec Civilization Pack!

Leader: Montezuma
Unique Unit: Eagle Warrior
Unique Building: Tlachtli
Wonder: Huey Teocalli


*EXCLUSIVE PRE-ORDER ITEM FOR 90 DAYS, AFTER WHICH THE CONTENT WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO ALL OWNERS OF THE GAME."

To me, this looks too much like "this is in game, but we're restricting anyone that doesn't pre-order from playing with these bits for three months".

Definitely dodgy stuff, combined with you also don't know if it'll run well etc.
