I would guess that they aren't committing to anything at the moment because they are experimenting. They started the Deal of the Week in response to people loudly requesting something like it, same goes for putting more games on Steam. They recently had games on the Humble Bundle and Steam's deal of the day. They are branching out and trying different stuff.

Yes, I understand that but an answer one way or the other would be a kind and good business thing to do! I've supported this "Deal" since it started as I'm sure many others have too!

Matrix is not very business savy...and that's me putting it very nicely!

Hi guys

thanks for all your support but we don't always have time to read and respond to forum posts.

We're experimenting with weekend deals instead of deal of the week to see if one or other works better. It's the same basic idea, just a slightly different structure. The DotW system has a number of flaws and logistically is quite tricky to manage. The weekend promos with coupons are actually a lot easier to set up so if we get similar results from them we'll probably do those instead.

It would be great if you continued to do what you're doing for the weekend deals instead of DotW. The only real difference is the timing and that we tend to have more than one game in the weekend promo.

Thanks again for the support.

Thank you Iain. Responding to your faithful customers is very important and does not take very long!

Sure - just you know you should expect slower response times over the next month as we're down to about half strength with all the holidays kicking in.
