No, but there was enough negative sentiment here, combined with the data analysis and projection around the strength of the deals we have in place (they are doing really well) to merit not risking further kicking the hornet's nest.

Cheers,

The whole thing was more like a big PR damage control event, it gave the impression they were going to correct all wrongs, yet they didn't, only their new releases come with uplay only.

That is what we are trying to tell you, any negative sentiment to be found came from a handful of persons, maybe not even a handful, the vast majority remained positive about your work.

The whole affair was embarrassing, Steam sales have (had) always been like that, you grabbed a game at 66% regular sale one day and chances were the next you could see it at 75% daily sale, and life kept going forward.

Do we get a $5 2k credit if we have bought CivV: Gods and Kings?

Figures that's what they where doing. Can't imagine them removing from existing games .. that would require work an patches

But I did see that Steam version is DRM free ..

PM sent. I bought the SR3 full package on 12/23 but got no code, and there's no discount showing up in my cart.

I did get a UbiSoft coupon for a prior purchase, but for some reason the THQ order didn't get picked up, and I really wanted to get either Darksiders II or Saints Row 2.

Thanks! Hope it reaches you before you get on the plane.

is beyond good & evil steam game?

I have $3 promotion on top of $5 for THQ. I could either get DS Franchise for $5 or SRTT for free. Choices, choices... Any chance DS2 + DLC will ever be back down to $5 again? THQ is bankrupt after all.

Tony,

Thanks for your diligent and hard work. Not many would spend half of their Christmas break catering to customers on a 3rd party forum. Thanks again, hopefully you had a Merry Christmas.

Keep the deals coming.

Whats the best Assassin's Creed game to use the coupon on for someone new to the series? I actually got Assassin's Creed 3 for free today buying a Solid State Drive from Newegg. For those interested, today only sale,

Samsung 840 Pro SSD 128gb, only 119.99 and comes with a free copy of Assassin's Creed 3. Great deal for anyone in the market for an SSD, the free game is just a bonus.

So, what's the best Assassin's Creed to start with as I have a Ubisoft coupon to use today.

GOOD JOB PEOPLE!!!

O well, I'm still grabbing that 2K pack tomorrow!!! W00T! Thanks Tony!

I'm actually glad Steam has another legitimate -- nay, dominating -- competitor I lurve scrounging for weirdo pricing glitches at Gamersgate and the occasional great deal at other digital distributors, but the great bundles, coupons, this awesome thread, and Tony have completely swung me around to almost exclusively Amazon for my PCDD shopping this year.

Ahh bummer, I had multiple THQ promotion codes emails, and when I tried to buy a 2nd copy of SRT it shows up as full price (7.49), I was planning on buying copies for my sons friends.

So awesome to finally have those Genesis Classics on Steam. My neighbors are having to deal with chiptunes blasting far louder than they should be on any day let alone Christmas day.

Assassin's Creed 2

I just bought Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe Edition today from Amazon.com, will I still get a $5 coupon ?

It's the only Ubisoft game I purchased this year from Amazon.

Playing Kid Chameleon any? I've been playing that game since the sixth grade, and I still haven't beaten it. (I'm 30.)

One of my favorites. I beat it once when I was a kid but used a lot of the warps to do so.

I basically replaced most of my original Genesis library, which I sold long ago, in this one $5 purchase.

*turn-up volume, load Phantasy Star IV title screen, walk away and let the neighbors deal with it*

I still didn't get the THQ/2K credit...

Allright we need an official word on this. Tony any idea of the DRM on Rayman Origins? The store page says is Solidsheild but some CAGs are reporting that the game might be DRM Free but i would like an official word on it to give you guys my money. Thanks in advance.

Are there still going to be more "impactful" deals as alluded to in the second post?
