Support NeoGAF

[Dr Dogg]

Come on you know we're all in for the kangaroo court that want to burn the witch that is GMG. I have no idea what some folks do for a living but rash decissions like the accusations thrown around would get me into shit loads of trouble both professionally and legally.

Batman Premium and Season Pass are on nuuvem now ... go crazy

Eh £16 for that Season Pass is still more than I'd pay knowing the quality of the content let alone a wishy washy set of descriptions.

 

[Dsyndrome]

You're looking at 23 Dollar.

Means I'll have the complete game for $50 then, not a bad discount. Hopefully it works, thanks!

YEah... all together that's 50 bucks (if you buy separately) for a season pass and a brand new game... not bad at all.

 

[toddhunter]

I love GMG, but how can you possibly stand against CD Project Red?

They price gouge and their games are boring.

 

[Naked Snake]

Power Drive 2000 looks beautiful. I want it badly.

Batman Premium and Season Pass are on nuuvem now ... go crazy

I'll probably buy the season pass if Nuveem ever gets around to canceling and refunding my pre-order for the base game.

 

[Arthea]

When exactly Thunder wolves got removed from steam? I just now noticed.

But I thought we couldn't use Nuuvem anymore?

nobody reads here, so nobody knows, except Jasec, you and me, it would seem.

Spoiler

also they use VPN

Hang on, hang on, hang on. According to the Project Cars OT backers get some form of profit sharing for 3 years after release? Why the fuck didn't I back this!?!?!?

 

[Salsa]

Nuuvem works fine. You just gotta use a VPN for Batman stuff now like with most other games

I and others from the pretty southlands can help if someone wants to buy something from there and not use a VPN

I got Arkham Knight from there, no VPN. Unless they changed the policy directly following them putting it up there, in which case I got damn lucky.

the question is when you bought it, the change is recent.

But some don't even get the full game and have to pay more on top of their pledge. Rather confusing.

 

[TheMadMan007]

Same here, can someone explain it plainly please? I'm in the US and want to know if I just have to give up on using Nuuvem anymore. I can check out Batman through Paypal, but is it region free or is it some weird locked South American version?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'm confused this other post just said:

that's what you get for not reading posts! Nuuvem no longer sells games outside South America.

Spoiler

no, VPN doesn't count

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

And there it is.

"Following a six-month dialogue with [CD Projekt RED] about the launch of The Witcher 3, we were disappointed that despite the offer of significant cash advances, and other opportunities to officially work together, (we even offered to fly to Poland to discuss in detail how we could and wanted to support this launch), CDPR chose not to engage with a number of significant, reputable, and successful retailers, including ourselves, as they instead focused on supporting their own platform GOG. " Sulyok said.

Sulyok explains that GMG chose to essentially go around CD Projekt RED by acquiring digital copies of the game from third parties and retailers that were approved by CD Projekt RED. According to Sulyok, this means that CD Projekt RED is getting the revenue from sales of these games, and that any additional discount is absorbed by GMG. Earlier today, CD Projekt RED told GameSpot it was getting "zero" revenue from these sales.

 

[Salsa]

I have no idea what Arthea is saying. Nuuvem works as always with using a VPN or someome from latin america buying it for you.

The keys are not locked to any region.

GTAV in specific cannot be bought with a paypal account that's outside brazil, but that's just that one game. Probably cause T2 got mad.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

And there it is.

GMG ain't done anything wrong it seems to me then. CDPR gets revenue, GMG is even taking a hit, and the copies are all legit.

Season pass+game is like $56, so basically the price of the full game...as it should have been :V

lol, brainfart

I'm confused this other post just said:

I just had in mind that for me working with VPN doesn't count as working, I didn't say VPN doesn't work, as I don't use it, I don't know.

Kl, will grab the season pass then

More like CD Projekt REKD am i rite

(No seriously this entire thing is weird)

I live on kickstarter and indiegogo now after missing Aviary Attorney. I'm not letting anything else slip through my fingers.

But some don't even get the full game and have to pay more on top of their pledge. Rather confusing.

The Formula Fusion kickstarter currently going is a bit mad as the funding goal is for their determination to get a base-line project off the ground. That doesn't instil me with confidence.

 

[lashman]

lol, brainfart

don't worry ... I always confuse Telltale with Traveller's Tales

I live on kickstarter and indiegogo now after missing Aviary Attorney. I'm not letting anything else slip through my fingers.

so - how's that "5 games per year" thing working out for you?

Spoiler

I know, I know ... sorry

 

[Arthea]

And there it is.

aren't GMG selling it with better discount than anybody? I still have my doubts about those sources of keys

 

[derExperte]

Project CARS unlocked.

 

[Avinexus]

And there it is.

They can't possibly be making money on that price, right? So they basically did all that just for some possible customer retention/acquiring purposes?

 

[Dr Dogg]

Only on 21 bought for the year and that includes the Origin Bundle Redux. Finished 11 games this year as well so surprisingly doing better than normal, whatever normal is.

 

[MUnited83]

They sell games at a loss lots of times.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Making it sound like GMG is pulling a G2A or something. Even the Witcher guy said they can't do anything about GMG buying keys and selling them at their own loss. Which is what they're doing. Does sound like they're probably buying from namco or something. At the end of the day though GMG is still a authorized seller and we can just sweep this under the rug.

I await someone calling out GMG when they themselves bought the game through a trader or other such outlet.

 

[Madn]

To celebrate the release of my game, here's some Steam keys for you lot.

To use some buzzwords for hype: It's a cel-shaded Souls-like.

Congrats on the release

 

[dex3108]

So CDPR is not that customer friendly as we thought. Yes they have right to choose their partners but it is really sad to hear they refused to sell keys to GMG even though GMG tried to convince them multiple times. In the end consumers should always have right to decide where to buy their games.

 

[YianGaruga]

Examples? How do you know?

yeah no, until GMG disclose their source of keys to somebody trusted, I'm not gonna just believe that not only they are buying keys via middleman, meaning pay more, they sell for less than anybody? If somebody sounds fishy, it is usually fishy.

wait a second, what's about Aviary Attorney?

 

[Dr Dogg]

With their constant vouchers and the days of credit GMG have probably been taking a hit for retention for a while. Wonder what CDPR's reasoning is? It's not like they're the only digital retailer other than Steam as Gamesplanet, Games Rocket and DL Gamer have it on their sites, with Gamesplanet offering all the GOG extras and a note saying it's in cooperation with them. Others willing to take a smaller cut would seem odd as GMG sound pretty willing to negotiate.

wait a second, what's about Aviary Attorney?

I was on holiday when this started...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1873107026/aviary-attorney

and by the time I got back and had a look what was on ks it had ended by 2 days. Sadly no slacker backer options and only a tentative release date of June but I check their twitter daily for updates as well as their dev blog http://aviaryattorney.tumblr.com/

It doesn't sound fishy though. If anyone sounds like a badguy it's CDPR.
Plus they've been selling less than anyone for ages (Outside of region stuff). Not like the site has been strict MSRP and then out of nowhere Witcher 3 preorder discount. They've been a loss leader for ages.

Will buy it soonish

And there it is.

Nice precedent, GMG :/
Will they stop at The Witcher 3, or will they have more "temptations" in the future?

that's what you get for going on holidays ... bad Dogg, bad!!

You should have told 21 years old me the same thing..

 

[dex3108]

This is first time publisher denied keys to them. They need to sell games i f they want to stay in business. Is it good for GMG that they did this? Not entierly.

 

[ANuclearError]

So yeah, I kinda like Hexcells.

 

[fantomena]

Bloodbourne is the only thing worth playing on the PS4 right now, and that's the truth. Going to be a sad year for Playstation unless something get announced.

Sounds salty.

Putting off that PS4 purchase until 2016.

I know this opinion is extremely unpopular in this thread, but I really like my PS4. Granted, I typically don't play EA or Ubisoft games on PC due to their DRM and usually consider these games to be "console exclusive". But my console of choice is definitely the PS4 - Bloodborne, inFamous Second Son, Knack, The Last of Us, Final Fantasy X/X-2, Killzone, etc are all pretty good. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is pretty cool too (it's available on Xbox One also, but I would never buy one). Hell, I hear that The Order is at least worth renting. And since I already had PS+ on my Vita it just carries over and works with the PS4 also, giving me a few new games every month that are usually halfway decent. Plus, that controller...

I'm really glad I got mine for my birthday last year, I've played the hell out of it.

 

[gdt]

Is the voucher on GMG not working on TW3?

 

[Dr Dogg]

Knack...

pretty good.

Really? I mean from start to finish it's above serviceable?

To be fair FF Type-0 alone probably turned your head

Also, according to a well known legit Sony leaker here on GAF (don't remember the name, but the user is Bish verified), the PS4 is supposedly going to be the go-to device for FromSoft fans.

It's not a masterpeice, but I actually played through it and had lots of fun.

Wish I got a PS4 for my birthday.
