No, it was $6.24 during the 2010 holiday sale, which I think is the cheapest Steam has had it for. There's also been some sales at other places for an older non-complete "Complete Edition" at lower prices, I think, but those were missing Colonization.

Their earlier game Boiling Point was hugely ambitious and a great laugh (in a badly-translated, B-movie sort of way), so Precursors sounds interesting. But I'll be waiting for a version without StarForce, and maybe a bit cheaper too (BP was enjoyable as a $2 bargain-bin find, but the price...

I wouldn't expect them to raise it. Steam's usual procedure is to show such a situation as an XX% off sale for the first week of release, not just update the base price without warning. I think the idea that they were planning to raise the price comes from their wording in their FAQ before...

I think it's only been out a few days, so I'm sure it has a few kinks to work out. But I've tried it and it seems okish. It supports pause and resume. It lets you choose where to place the downloaded installer, and seems to make a new folder per game. It's now a small, self-contained, native...

I got a $5 steam copy in the last sale, and I'm planning on picking up a second copy from GOG to play instead. The steam version is just really messily thrown together, all the director's edition "extras" thrown in a folder deep in the game's steamapps directory, every voice over language file...

I just finished downloading this morning and the online activation is refusing my key, apparently lots of people are having that problem right now, so it does cause problems. But Steam often has key-related problems during popular sales, activation or not. It's nowhere near as bad as some...

I know that's the official list, but it kind of undermines itself on one point. Valve have forgotten to list Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light :roll:. Since that list isn't always the most accurate, I always like to see if anyone else has tried before purchasing, just in case a service is...

I know this is a doomed thread, but... There's a clock at the top-right of the page, "Time left". It's currently 3 days, 22 hours.

Great find, thanks! When I saw Metro 2033 on Steam for $10 today I figured I'd wait for it to go down a bit more... I didn't realize I'd only have to wait a day! The confirmation for anyone wanting to double-check is http://www.gamersgate.com/img/featured/466x_thqdeal_fri.jpg Also, the...

I tried the free version maybe 3 years ago, and single-player seemed pretty complete and stable back then. I'm sure it's only gotten better. I don't think it's missing any in-game art assets, but I'm not sure. The majority of them were certainly there (the original 3DO art was included in the...

Thanks for posting this. With that coupon, I'm going to have to think about some of these games. For anyone looking at GTR Evolution, STCC, or Race 07, this isn't a good price. In fact, they're $2 more expensive than Steam's regular price, which is itself way too high (it's still higher than...

Thanks for the code, OP! It's one of GG's DRM-"Free" games. Which means it still has a light form of DRM, but it's all only in the install process, and so badly made that while it causes annoyance if you use it, it is very easy to bypass (it's probably an attempt to fit "DRM Free" into an...

I had that, it's very frustrating having no indication of what's wrong. In my case, it needed xinput9_1_0.dll in its folder, which a few other games have needed. That's part of DirectX but this DLL never seems to have gotten installed on my PC correctly. The DLL was in several of my other other...

I can confirm it is gone with the latest patch. I installed & played offline, was never even asked for my serial number. But I can't confirm if the patch works on D2D, I have it on GamersGate. It's not listed on D2D's patches page, but the generic European/DD patch (not the US disc-only patch)...

I liked Broken Sword and I'm looking forward to trying out the Director's Cut remake. But with a remake of BS2 just announced as in development today, it will make it hard to decide whether to start a game in this old version once I'm done. I usually hate these good bundle-sale-price, bad...

Great game, I'm looking forward to the sequel. TDU + the Megapack DLC was $9.99 on gametap.com a week and a half ago, but I've seen lots of complaints about having to wait days for your serial key from that site's store and the service department being in France, with all the timezone lag and...

Beware that the Stronghold Collection is not DRM free (unlike the physical version). It's got Securom activation, even on the original old Stronghold. Totally kills the appeal for me, but at least my order was one of the 1-in-5 that are free.

X3 Gold deal ended, today's deal is Total Annihilation for 50% off... which is the same price it has been ever since the Thanksgiving sale started. Seems odd that some of their daily deals would just be highlighting a currently on-going sale price, but I guess that means this list of upcoming...

Shacknews' list of weekend sales said a TBA game for $0.10 would be GFWL's Sunday daily deal, so I wouldn't worry too much about them "fixing" it, it will probably be up for the next 24 hours. The daily deal #7 page isn't up yet, but the game's page on the website is showing the $0.10 price...

Impulse is one of the main, big DD sites -- though nothing compares with Steam in size. It's been around a few years and is owned by Stardock, the developers of GalCiv. I've bought a few titles from them, and they're alright. Impulse, their client, is a bit clunky and does popup ads for their...
