Added Civ deal to the OP. Even if you don't like strategy type games (like me) it is still addictive and a whole lot of fun.

Civ V will apparently be a Steam weekend deal, so no need to risk using GMG for that one.
[quote name='JamesGMG']Hey PenguinJim,
The two topics aren't unrelated. We currently have Taiwan blocked to stop the fraud that came from that region. As we look further at regional expansion we need to integrate a bespoke payment system to combat the inherent fraud problem in that region. Naturally this is a tricky affair and will take time to carry out correctly.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the response, James. It's appreciated, and it does seem to confirm everything I said (except that I thought I was being lied to and given two different stories, when apparently I was being told the truth but given a different reason each time - I'm sorry about that!), but it does seem to miss a few issues.
You told me that GMG was blocking a couple of countries, including Taiwan and China. Clayton Victor GMG has told me that you're not blocking China. But although I asked him directly, he won't tell me which countries/regions you are blocking. Could you share with us which countries are currently being blocked? (It would also be lovely if you could share with us why we weren't notified before being blocked, or during the following five months, and still even today... no updates.)
It also seems a bit odd that instead of fixing the security hole, you're just blocking the region(s) exploiting it the most (which is why I recommended everyone use a new, unique password). You're saying it's not your accounts system, but the payment system? I've used Paypal and SagePay with plenty of other companies, so that also seems odd - especially if they're making you pay for their security problems, as Clayton Victor GMG suggests.
And I don't want to nitpick, but I can't see how you can claim that you won't block the US - surely if fraud increases above a sustainable level, as you're now claiming is the reason for blocking other regions, you'd have to block the US too? (Which, by the way, is totally understandable)
At the risk of sounding cynical, I have followed Sony's wonderful management of the PS3, and so it's to be expected that you would say something to help your business this week while having no qualms about doing the opposite next week if it would help your business make money.

Yes, please! I must confess, I wasn't actually able to find the option to do this. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

I didn't read your entire post earlier but if your region is being blocked you can use a UK proxy. A decent free one is http://www.daveproxy.co.uk but if you want something more secure you would have to search around. If your account is banned or whatever you would need to contact their support people. In the second post in the thread you can find their phone number and customer service hours if you prefer to talk to someone.

[/QUOTE]
The information I had in January was correct to my knowledge at the time I have since followed up and was informed China is not blocked.
Any information for whether or not a region is locked (which, to my knowledge, again is currently only Taiwan), is best handled via our CS team as they are in closer contact with the team members who have that information closer to hand
[quote name='TreadLife']James, can you provide me with any information as to why I can't find Shank, Shank 2, or any Warhammer 40K Space Marine DLC on your site?[/QUOTE]
We don't have Shank but we do have Shank 2, but only available to those on our greenmangaming.co.uk domain.
We're working on getting Space Marine DLC but I have no new info about it at this time.
Hope this helps guys!
And also as some general information - we're running our 20% deal on Mass Effect 3 again this week - no voucher required this time!

Is the Mass Effect 3 20% deal dead? James said as of March 12 that it would be going for this week........hrm...payday hits and I miss the deal. My luck.
Looks like ME3 deal is dead, just updated OP.
Today's deal is Dungeon Siege 3 which is actually pretty fun, beware the co-op camera though.
Dungeon Siege III $12.49 (Steamworks)

AC1 is cheaper as part of Amazon's BOGOF DRM-free PC Downloads this week, I think. And they've got some good games on sale, too!

There's quite a lot so I won't try to list them all, but there's a number of excellent bargains worth getting

Hey all,
Hope everyone had a good weekend - and if you frequented GMG you weren't too affected by the scheduled server migration
I've made another post of all the listed deals here, there's about 13 of them so a forum post seemed like a sensible idea!

James, I mistakenly bought two copies of Binary Domain, I submitted a ticket to have them cancel one of the orders, will it be done or will there be a problem?
[quote name='Reaperain']Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I want Darksiders 2 but I dont know if I want to pay $40. Maybe $30. Thats a great deal though.[/QUOTE]
Well you get the first DLC for free if you pre-order which will probably cost $5-$10. If you end up enjoying the game and DLC then it essentially cost you $30.
