Did anyone notice that on the first weekend Ubisoft games were available on GOG, Steam has a weekend deal that features four of these games as a bundle for 9.99? Granted, Prince of Persia isn't part of the deal, but jeez: Beyond Good and Evil, Il-2 1946, FarCry, and Might & Magic Dark Messiah.
I'd pick GOG any day over Steam, but man, how can you compete with a deal like that? It seems as if Steam is going for the jugular here.

I would like to mention that not every country in the world got the same promotion.
For example in Poland we could get 3 games ( http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/159/missinghfy.jpg ) for a price of 9,99 EURO.

Yes, I love how Steam convert dollars to euros.

I have Beyond Good & Evil though, and the other titles don't hold any interest. Steam also doesn't have any contests. I mean, just for buying Prince of Persia and reviewing it this week on GOG you get entered for TWO drawings.

Could you, please, move it to discussion linked above? I don't see a reason for one topic to take place in two places

Steam had actually been doing deals on a new Ubisoft game everyday all last week. It wasn't just the weekend deal. It was Ubisoft week.
Posted March 29, 2009
Yeah, we knew this already.

Ok. Well first of all, I was talking to the OP, since he didn't seem to notice that there were Ubisoft deals all week. I wasn't talking to you.
Second of all, if you aren't posting anything helpful, then you probably shouldn't post at all. Just a little tip for you.

I wasn't replying to you.
Usually when people reply, they quote other people's posts. If not, then they're replying to the OP. Just a ltitle tip for you.

It seemed more coincidence that direct competition. I don't think it stole their thunder. I think this was just a week of Ubisoft love.

Can't argue with that.

If I don't quote anything, I reply to the post directly above mine. I thought this was the standard way of doing it.

Usually posting without quotes means you're replying to the OP.
