I understand why no new deals are offered this week but can say that I too am disappointed. I have been looking forward to these new deals each Monday even if I dont buy as I wonder if this is the day that the game I really want will be available for a discount.

Holy cow Robin, there is a horrible case of impatienceitis going around. Jeez.

Incurable too.

I hear John and Peter in Uttoxeter are working on a cure for this. Maybe Warspite has some info about the project.

Yes, he would know. He lives in Uttoxeter and is related to John.

Whatever you say, guys, but I think it's a good sign people is whinning.

Bad sign would be Matrix stopping deal of the week for two weeks and no one caring.

We care, dammit!

[:@] <- it's a good sign.

We'll have to dig up some dirt on her then. Give Flanigan, Branigan, and Iskovich a call. They're investigators for the firm of Dewey, Fleecem, and Howe.

I think DFH were taken over by Skweezum, Stikem, Grabbit & Runn last year.

That's a pretty big assumption when they said check again next week. Sure it COULD be over but if it is over there's no reason for them not to say so.

An interesting point of view with regards to flash sales from the head of marketing at GOG.

Flash Sale Problems

It's a good point, but the essential difference is the time after release. The 'deals of the week' here have not been on any recent releases, and nobody suggested they should be. While somebody might wait a few months for a steep drop in price, nobody is likely to wait years for a title they actively want. Some people will buy who didn't before, not because they waited but because you hit their price point to reconsider - which is the whole point of the sale, after all.

What's with people?

They rant about sales as if it was a right.

Damn you Slitherine, I deserve to pay less than what you want to sell the game for. I want it sold for half price because you made it last year, and I want another 25% off because it's summer, and I want a 5 dollar coupon because it's my birthday, and I want it hand delivered to my door because I like getting presents in the mail, and I want Ian to help cut the grass when he's here because his mom was saying he was always a nice lad when he was a boy.

Do you people actually listen to your demands?
I have too many too complicated wargames, and not enough sufficiently interested non wargamer friends.
