*** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread ***

Anyone else having there wallet killed by everyone but steam? ive bought so many games the past few days but only one from steam.(legend of grimrock). GmG has been the biggest killer!

I think it's a good thing*, the rest of them seem to be giving steam a run for their money this year.









* As long as they activate on steam lol
 
Great to have competition but it does throw up a few (first world) issues:

-Have to keep checking a bunch of sites or at least an aggregator like savygamer
-Easy to lose track of what you've bought in previous sales i.e. on Steam you get warned if you try to checkout with products you already own on Steam in basket, if you are buying from elsewhere this obviously doesn't happen.
-Not everything activates on Steam so you end up with various games scattered around (for example I have some on Dixons Downloads, ShopTo, GOG, GMG, uPlay, GFWL, Gamefly, Origin, Steam, GamersGate etc - I really need a spreadsheet to keep track of it all)
-Some of the services leave a lot to be desired in terms of client application, ease of use, website problems etc.

GMG I quite like because they seem quite... I dunno, 'human', a bit like an oldschool independent games shop right down to the fact that you can trade in games. They have some pretty good deals (including a bunch of free games I picked up a while back) many of which activate on Steam.
 
picked up the Dishonored DLC on GMG using the 30% off code :p
And had a little credit left too so paid £1.07 for the DLC :)


If i could give out awards, Gamersgate wait no... greenmangaming would get the best seller award. Gamersgate would get the Most Like EA award.


GMG are fast becoming key seller of choice for many, SimplyGames have had some cracking offers recently too and unlike most keystores that appear have been in business in the UK for a long time, might very well worth be worth keeping an eye on SG too as they look like theyre gonna be a good contender
 
Got to agree GmG have been ace this month. First used the for BL2 pre-order, picked up FM13 and now a load of goodies over Xmas, really good service, bonus is they use a lot of steam codes as well.

Only gripe is the speed of their site, very sluggish.

+1 their website could do with a revamp though :D
