You hear that, Gabe. It cannot be next week since it would not be a surprise. Sales have to be advanced now. You could surprise us this Thursday, Gabe.

Why are people saying things like this? There has been tons of 'Summer 2012' packs added to the registry, the 'i dont think there is a summer sale' spam should stop.

It will come, be patient. Go buy some FPSs from Amazon in the meantime.

This seems like a very silly comment:

Hey Tony, any chance the Saints Row DLC will be on sale at the same time of that THQ bundle? (Steam redeemable of course)

Sales have changed.

It's not about prices or percentages.
It's not even about convenience, customer service, or DRM.
It's an endless series of savings, fought by marketing managers and publishers.
Sales, and their vast consumption of money, have become a rational, well-oiled business transaction.

Sales have changed.

Steamworks games with Steamworks keys and Steamworks achievements.
CMs inside forums enhance and regulate their sales.
Community control. Information control. Emotion control...
Market control.
Everything is monitored, and kept under control.

Sales have changed.

The age of consumption is now the age of control, promoting backlogs from massive sales.
And he who controls the marketplace, controls history.

Sales have changed.

When the market is under total control, sales becomes routine.

Sales have changed. GAF has changed.

Did Amazon pay to have an account on GAF approved? I mean he even has a signature.. and why is it called 'Amazon Video Gamer', when it is just a PR mouthpiece account?

A lone gaffer entering the Steam labyrinth. The backlogtaur is just around the corner.

London 2012 cannot match the hype of Steam sales. Actually, sales will start on 12th. London 2012 was already postponed not to take place on the same dates as the Steam sales.

Again, confused about the "PR mouthpiece account" comment...I participate in conversations regarding games I like, what I think about them, etc.

In fact, when another poster was asking about games to buy for his dad earlier this week, I directed him towards a competitor's sale:

Almost Ninja'ed me. I was going to suggest ANYTHING from Telltale. Isn't GOG running a 60% promo on them right now?

You really can't go wrong with those games man. My dad loved them.

To answer your question directly, no, I've not engaged in a business transaction with Neogaf.

I did ping the mods before posting though to make sure it was cool, which they said it was as long as I identified myself, which I do clearly, as working for the company.

Cheers,
Tony

I don't want to start trouble, but you are obviously posting with the interests of Amazon in mind. Are you saying that you are posting here outside of your working hours, in your spare time, with the logo of your employer as avatar, in your username, and constantly telling us about whatever is going on on the Amazon website? It's cool to have industry insiders post on GAF and mingle with the crowd, but this is just blatantly trying to profit from the community. Might as well buy an ad.

As far as I can see he's just replying to people, don't see what's wrong with that.

Dunno why people would have a problem with it anyway unless they want Valve to have no competition.

Gaf members made the avatar for him and insisted he get one. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39316528&postcount=2872

And if that was the case every rep from every company should be banned for promoting their games and giving away codes etc.

sigh

edit- I'm noticing a pattern here. Every day there isn't a sale on Steam at the daily deal changeover time, people here get extra bitter about Amazon, GAFers, the whole world, etc.

You've been a member of this forum for a week. Who cares what you think?

But in actuality, I'm sure you're just hiding behind an alt like a pussy.
