Tony are you pricematching the $5 la noire complete collection on steam? I know it's really early and I'm not sure when it went on sale so I'm assuming that's the only reason but just wanted to check. Thanks.

Hey Tony,

Has it ever happened that a game you worked to get on sale because there was a lot of demand on GAF (or other forums), but performed poorly overall once the game went on sale?

How long do the current sales usually stay up? I just want to know what the clock is like on Quantum Conundrum and ARMA II: CO.

EU would have been nice since my copy is Impulse (never again) and getting it into it's own self-contained folder on a non-C drive was a huge pain in the ass that I'd have to repeat if I ever reinstalled, but it wouldn't have been right to take as it would have just been for management convenience.

Arma II: CO I have set to run until we run out of keys again.

QC is a price match to someone, I need to check who.

Beelzeboss said:
so is Amazon not matching Steam daily deals anymore?

I'd rather buy stuff from Amazon but the games don't seem to be on sale.

I'd really like to see The Walking Dead price-matched; it seems to be a Steam code too.
Click to expand...

We're going to be matching stuff on a case by case basis, mostly based on what we just ran for 2 weeks. So The Walking Dead, for example, we'll match, but things like LA Noire Complete and Darkness II, which we've had at the same prices for 2 weeks already, we won't.

Cheers,
Tony

Sounds reasonable! :) Can you give any ETA on The Walking Dead discount?

Makes me sad that people ask for a game and then not buy it. The amazon store could be easier to navigate though. I don't find it particularly intuitive or clear and am not a huge fan of the interface.

Wait, when was L.A. Noire Complete $5? Thought it was $7.50 and the base game was 5?

oh god I'm going to regret buying it on steam after you have it for 10% lower or something :p

Hey Tony, I know a few days ago you mentioned the possibility of Saint's Row The Third being slightly cheaper than Steam's price. Is there any chance of that still happening, or is a $12.50 match looking more likely? The fact that you quoted Alo81's "$12.50 in the US" post leads me to believe it'll be an exact price match, but I was just hoping for a little confirmation if you knew for sure. Either way, as long as Amazon can at least match Steam's price, I'll hold off for now and buy from you guys.

Yeah we are pretty constantly trying to work on it. The "problem" is that Amazon is such a broad site that there are specific mechanics we have to work within. If I had my druthers we'd completely reskin the VG store.

To re-iterate, we will have it, at minimum for $12.49 next week and I'm pushing for $9.99.

I will know more on Monday or Tuesday. Our sale period will be 24 hours.

Cheers,
Tony

Until Skyrim stops selling like the latest Apple product, I wouldn't expect anything more than a 50% discount.

If you're not averse to DRM, then it's worth noting that Steam is currently offering the game for $30 as a daily deal.

It's a steamworks game, all copies have to be redeemed on steam.

Tony, thanks a lot for that price match on TWD. I was interested in getting it via Steam, but the $=€ conversion forced me to forget about it. Now I can get it for a fair price! You're great :3

Slightly off topic, will Torchlight 2 be sold on amazon? It looks like I can't preorder there. Not for Tony, just a question for anyone to answer if they know at all. I don't really want to go through adding money to my steam wallet when I can just click a button on amazon.

I didn't see it in the op, but does anyone know of a way you can use Reward Points on digital purchases (from an Amazon credit card)?

I think a roundabout way would to get a certificate with the points and input the code to your account, but that takes several weeks.

It doesn't look like it. The checkout system seems to be different for PC downloads. You can try ordering an e-mailed gift card (min $25)?
