They follow them for business reasons.

its just the lunacy of this rule. In here you cant name even steam now if they sell the same game as OCuk even tho its not their core business yet they encourage me to follow them on twitter where I can get a direct link to their competitors of their core business HARDWARE.

Actually you couldn't have made this up.

Is the second hand traders section likely to be cut out too?

So make sure they are the cheapest or at least most reasonable and people will buy from you. Pretending that competitors don't exist and charging what you wish is not good business

Valk you need to get this nonsense sorted - OCuk is now beginning to just look stupid and if thats the total sum of your response after reading 10+ pages in this thread then well frankly /facepalm.

and if this is the case can I direct you to http://www.cipr.co.uk/content/is-pr-for-you

sad thing is you could buy the games from elsewhere on the internet and flog them on the members market for the same price as ocuk and still make a profit after postage costs

Well duh that's the reason for all this uproar, you've been selling games for a while and it has been the position that you can mention other games vendors in the context of deals but not link to it - in other words a completely sensible and normal position..until now anyway

80% why I use these forums is for the gaming sub-forums.

I think he means that if you don't sell a specific game at the moment, such as STALKER 2, when that comes out, for example, we can talk about it being on Steam as much as we want, but as soon as you start to stock it, we can't?

I could understand of OCUK were a mega games company but honestly look at the range and prices just lolworthy

Monkeymatt · 22 Jul 2011 at 20:44

Still waiting for a Don to use "We're not a shop" as an excuse. OcUK, I am disappoint.

Eight games.

Eight.

LOL.

I can't believe the only responses we've got have completely ignored every issue raised.

Way to pretend that this has always been the rule and you didn't state it differently 4-5 months ago (which has even been quoted in this thread and again completely ignored)

This is just embarrassing. *waves hand* It has always been like this and you don't know any other companies.

They should employ Paul McKenna to hypnotise us into thinking OcUK is the only place to buy anything.

That's a ridiculous reply to all the points that were raised in this thread.
