No deal on Steam this weekend? - nymon - 07-17-2009 I'm here and ready to purchase because of this: Quote:Weekend Deal! Why no deal on Steam? Is my only option going to be Gamers Gate this weekend? RE: No deal on Steam this weekend? - jens - 07-17-2009 The deal was originally for Mac & Linux only, so stores we worked with to get the 5 USD deal in place were non Windows stores. Then Gamer's Gate liked the idea of doing Windows as well and did that, so it was a last minute addition to have the Windows version for 5 as well. Steam had the 5 deal a couple of weeks ago, which was the whole reason why we wanted to arrange this for Mac & Linux as well. RE: No deal on Steam this weekend? - nymon - 07-17-2009 Well then, I guess I should be thankful for Gamers Gate! RE: No deal on Steam this weekend? - Sephy - 07-18-2009 I was just about to buy the game there, too. ...until I noticed that (I'm from Germany, by the way) they changed the price here from $4.99 to 4.99 Euro. :frown: I know, with such a low price it's just a matter of a few bucks (4.99€ instead of ~3.50€) and I shouldn't really care - but it's not about the money. I just find it outrageous to so completely ignore the currency rate. As I said, I know it's not a big deal in this case, but the sheer fact that they so boldly ignore it (just imagine I wanted to buy something in their store for $100 [~70€]? would they just turn that into 100€ or what?) made me angry enough to cancel the payment. I'm sorry, this isn't your fault and I would have liked to buy it for that price - but I dont want to support a shop that treats the exchange rate as if it didn't exist. That's not the kind of fair treatment I'd expect from a good shop. :/ Guess, I'll just buy this edition somewhere in a store, instead... |
