dyscode: My guess would be that we see some viral marketing effect. Someone had a stupid idea and now everybody has to join or don't get any presales at all.

The Aliens CM and DS3 and SimCity debacle might have something to do with it also.
I saw $10 Bioshock Infinite code offer on another forum . :p

keeveek: If you want to participate in a debate, maybe read the discussion first.
------------------
I was only saying that season passes are not meant for people who want to buy things cheaper as someone previously suggested.

I think that season passes are mostly aimed at people who want to get new things as soon as they are released (and there is nothing wrong about that), and they get a package discount, but it's not the main "feature" of season passes, imo.
============
Also, I would make some "Why don't you just" comment again, but I would be downrepped once again.

But I will say again: if you don't have anything to add to the discussion apart from your silly questions, just... don't? But I guess it's just GameRager being GameRager again.
----------------
Sales models are changing constantly. Today, discounting a game for 25% in the first month after release is a common practice. So I could agree, only if you feel that urge to help the poor devs, then it makes sense to buy anything day 1.
avatar
GameRager: I did, ya crazy git. ;)
-----------------------
Lemme guess: The main "feature" is either to scam buyers or some such? If not, then what is it, if I may ask?
=============
Dohoho........no it's just me being blunt(often to the point of coming off as rude) again.
----------------
True, but without the sales around day 1 I don't think many companies could be as successful/last so long.

stoicsentry: I don't think what he said came off as cheap, and it's certainly not supporting piracy. *shrug*
------------------
Also, I thought you were pro-piracy?
avatar
GameRager: I never said he was, just that if he's so cheap then why not go "whole hog" if money is(seemingly) his only concern
? Yeah, it was a bit of a loaded question, I admit. I just wanted to see what his response would be(for a good reason, not a bad one).
--------------------
To a point: I only agree with it in various circumstances.....like if a person is too poor(Imo the gov't/etc should set up "lending libraries" for very old/rare games so that people could enjoy them[And so that older game's materials wouldn't be lost to the ravages of time.] if they are of limited means[Just like we have libraries for sharing books and museums for allowing the public to view art, etc.).), or if a one's original storage medium breaks/becomes unusable for some reason other than one selling/trading it away.
OK: )

This. Its probably because of this looming anti preorder stance from the press. A LOT of people got burned with Colonial Marines.

Let’s Not Pre-Order Games Any More, Eh?

Oh those AMD Never Settle Reloaded graphics card coupons stolen from PC distributors/shops by employees? Yeah, hungarian forums are full of those. AMD HD7800 series graphics cards should have come with Tomb Raider + Bioshock, and HD7900 cards with Crysis 3 and Bioshock, so Bioshock codes were on every coupon card they got.
Many PC retailers didnt give out those codes, or did not recieve them in the first place. Same with nVidia Hawken/Planetside 2/World of Tanks(which are sought after and worth quite a sum) codes. They got lost somewhere..

Yeah, somebody already mentioned the GamersGate version, so I'll probably keep an eye on it when it will be on sale or maybe we'll be so lucky and it will come to GOG!! Thanks for pointing it out again, though!

I have Alpha Protocol on Steam bought on GMG and I can play it without steam or any other DRM.
In latest patch it says:

VERSION 1.1
-----------
- To resolve activation issues, PC copy protection has been removed.
