To me the level of discount is important. Yet I see 85% off listed in several places when it's not accurate:
"85% OFF YOUR SELECTION"

And after selecting "The Black Mirror":
"9.99 -> 2.49
you save 7.50 (85%)"

Seems misleading to advertise this as 85% off when it's not, especially in multiple places. For people who want to see it for themselves, look for a $9.99 game listed as $2.49, and select it. Your cart will show the new math.

. You can get all the great titles at individual discounts ranging from 75% to 85%
Nothing misleading IMHO.


Edit well, my bad, didn't read it all. My apologies.

If you go to the gamepage itself, the discount is the correct one (75%), but I get your point that the promo page's discount is bugged.

InkPanther - The only descriptions I've seen are either "85%" or "up to 90%". If the mention of 85% was replaced by "75% to 85%", that would be more accurate.

Gragar - True, but the game's page doesn't necessarily match the discount page.

I know and that's why I said above that the promo page's discount is bugged. It was supposed to be 75% for certain games, 80% for others and 85% for others or 90% if you buy all the games together.

Apparently, there's an easy way to fix this :)

(Obviously Grargar is right, but I wouldn't even have noticed had I not stumbled upon this thread... so, this is kind of misleading)
