We're not going to be adding anything else - HTTR was only added at the specific request of the developer not you guys sorry!

I see the problem on the WItP page and have asked for it to be updated. Sorry for the confusion.

Strange decision - I'd have thought a sale at 33% off was better than no sale.

Hey ho - it's your business [:'(]

Newsflash - Unity of Command is now $9.99!

This is not a game we exclusively publish and it is to make sure we're not being undercut by other sites. You can't get it cheaper anywhere else! We think it's crazy but there you go! Don't miss out!

...That is the general rule that is applied as don't want the hard core fans who are the early adopters to feel cheated by price drops too soon. I know this is not what everyone else does but you always knew we were different!
As a long time supporter if Matrix - I would just say that where you don't have exclusive rights to games you should do a quick internet search and see that you are being undercut on no less than 5 games on offer here - and some by more than 50%...

As a loyal subject, I will continue to support and pay more for games here; but can that be said for all?

Thanks for the info - the problem is that for those games we are not kept up to date when sales are run by other sites and its not really possible to do a daily search. If you let us know which games we can see what we can do as we are not allowed to just drop prices on these games without permission from the developer. Only a small portion of the line up is not exclusive and going forwards its going to be less and less as the whole distribution model doesn't work and we're only interested in titles where we have exclusivity so we can properly market and manage them.

Okay - I didn't put the price points here as well as the competition before, but as you ask...
Gamersgate has:
1. Time of Wrath $6.80
2. Armada 2526 $14.95
3. AI wars $16.99 (not sale)

Making History II was also a weekend sale at $5.99 but has subsequently gone back up in price to more than the Matrix price point.

This was just a quick check of one site. Yesterday I checked a few others and found other deals too. It does really depend on the day that you search.

I don't want to see other Game Distributors cutting into your market share as Matrix needs to be around for a long time to come.

That's really the problem - the prices on the sites change on a daily basis and we do not get notified and if we did we probably wouldn't have the bandwidth to keep changing prices. We don't like this one day sales with huge discounts that get headlines but punish the normal customer. Usually by the time you get there the prices have changed...

Picked up WITP-AE and Harpoon.

Haven't played Harpoon in a long long time (the original version).
That should be me set for the next 12 months or so.

Thanks for the sale

Welcome to the only game I and others keep coming back to Van Van - make sure to patch that up and then check out the beta on the main forum page too. Go say hello in the main forum and you'll get a nice surprise[:)]

[edit] We are a unique breed over there. Hope you get into it as it takes a little time to peel back the layers.
