I'll pretend to have some clue what you are talking about I guess ^^

Last time I heard the word mogul was when I was playing Railroad Tycoon 2 back in the day I think

I got a crapload of games on GG. And their customer service is pretty good, hope nothing happens to it.

They have some good DRM-free titles GOG lacks. Their service is far from perfect but I'd be sad to see them go.

Im going to miss the glitches ;). Hope Paradox store doesn't use the same type of system ;)

No, you're not the only one :)

Why Paradox doesn't keep considerable amount of stocks to control GG?Why they start new shop after they decided to provide new products with steamworks only?They are developing grand strategy games,but don't have strategy with corporate management.

I'd imagine because it was more involving and perhaps not as profitable for the effort as one might imagine, and they simply wanted to get back to just making games.

Sure, the webshop 'sort of' counters that idea, but you have to realize that with Steam keys, running a webshop becomes quite easy. They don't have to host the files, all they have to do is sell people a key, and that's it.

I also would hate to see anything happen to GG. I have used their service a few times and cant really fault it. Ok i know they have had problems and also losing the void service was a bit of a pain. On a side note i had neverend downloaded through void and it still works fine on my machine thought it might have stopped working when void went.

Their add-on policy is horrible and the complexity of the maps is the only thing, which evolved into the right direction recently.

huh? what made you draw that conclusion? as i understand it, the Paradox Plaza Store offers Paradox games for Steam, while GamersGate will keep offering their regular DRM-free editions. and what about the other 4000 or so games on GamersGate? why so hostile? what's wrong with a little competiton in the digital market? at least GamersGate offers a lot of titles not available anywhere else. that was a terrible mess, true. it was only available for like 3 countries or so anyway. i don't know what they were thinking. it's a tough market, no doubt. but then again, GamersGate does have a huge library and many games aren't available elsewhere.

i LOVE the blue coins system. i wish GOG or Steam had a similar reward system in place. or GamersGate's buy-4-pay-3 deals.

thanks, voted. but with just 10 votes, i don't think this is going anywhere... :(

Man, I loved GamersGate. Loved. I've picked up so many great games, and a ridiculous number of less popular games that I've enjoyed immensely. I don't think I'd recommend Daikatana, Fort Zombie, White Gold, Precursors, Vivisector, Harbinger, Thandor, Dead Block, Experiment 112, Total Overdose, or Neuro Hunter, to name a few, to everybody I meet, because most people would hate at least half of those games with a passion, but damn if I haven't had a whole lot of fun playing or replaying several of them.

They also seem to be the only place that offers DRM-free versions of a number of games. Their library is diverse, they have countless games that nobody else offers, and they've usually been pretty good at putting even the less popular games on heavy discount. I've gotten some killer deals, such that "killer" would be a grave understatement. The 1C bundle was probably the best purchase I've made aside from buying into the lifetime discount. So many games of varying quality, ranging from veritable classic to pretty bad... yet oddly enjoyable.

Now, the reason I said loved in the past-tense up there at the beginning is because GamersGate took away my "permanent" 15% discount, and to add insult to injury, gave a 20% year-long discount to people who were in the right place at the right time, trying to take advantage of a price error on some Steam keys. It's clear they don't really want my business any more. I've bought a lot of games I wanted from GamersGate already, and without the discount, Greenman Gaming has had far better offers on Steam keys lately.


I don't like Greenman's service nearly as much. I wasn't even able to make any new purchases there for a year (thankfully, I had a ridiculous amount of credit from trade-ins during that time), several of my games have been randomly auto-traded whenever I made a transaction (support also refused to reverse these transactions, which means any time I buy something, I've had to be willing to risk any tradeable games I hadn't played yet), and Capsule sucks. However, I was able to trade for far more credit than I ever actually spent there, and got some great deals on games like Sonic Generations, Arkham City, Human Revolution, Sine Mora, Spec Ops, and Dead Island.
