Again...

The current deal should still be ongoing. My goodness, we never said anything about how long these would last or when they would end.

If you took the time to read the press release when this deal was announced they said it would be from 8/5 to 8/15 it was never supose to end this week.

Again...

Guys... can we start looking at the glass and seeing it as half-full? During these sales I've picked up two games that I thought I would never buy so Matrix won money they would never have had under normal circumstances and I won a great gaming experience. The sales experiment seems to be working and Matrix have the right to stop it, restart it, stretch it, squeeze it, massage it etc etc to suit their research. Hopefully Matrix will continue these sales and that the next game on sale will be XXXXXXXXXXX which I ALMOST bought a while ago.

In the meantime, get off their back!!!

My goodness.

Well, it's called deal of the week, not "deal of the two weeks".

No hard feelings, but no need of exclamations either.

Go to http://matrixgames.com/news/1157/The.De ... ent.Greece!

The last sentence is...

"Take advantage of this week’s Deal and come back again next week to check out our latest DEAL OF THE WEEK."

So you guys DID say there'd be a new deal this week. Rrik, try reading what the people who work for you write before you lecture your paying customers.

Darkstar to be fair the dates also listed said it would be two weeks so at best there was miscommunication.

Darkstar One,

I didn't realize I was lecturing. [:)]

I think that was just someone using the PR template from a previous deal of the week. Sorry about that! When we started these, we did not say that they would be going on in perpetuity. We also noted after Historicon that there may be some disruption during August. Right now, we're planning to continue them, but we've made no guarantee as to how long these will go on.

Hope they continue. I got off the bench and finally purchased both of this weeks games. I'm enjoying them and consider it money well spent. I probably would not of purchased them if they weren't brought to my attention during the sale. I looked, I researched, i liked, i bought. PM me if you want any suggestions for the next deal[:D]

I think these deals of the week should continue. If only for the fact that there's a lot of discussion on these older games as people who have played them tell people who have never heard of them how good they are (doesn't happen for each game of course [;)]).

Hi guys

with the press event and holidays we've really struggled to keep up with this. We're hoping to get it all back to usual pretty soon as we come back up to full staffing levels but we cant guarantee ever week there will be a new deal as we just don't have a big enough team to dedicate people to just that task so when other things come up sometimes this has to slide.

Please be patient and we'll do what we can!

This week's deal is sooo good it can last at least 2-3 weeks [&o]

Just keep cycling through low/non selling games. There must be quite a batch of these here I would think...just about willing to put money it actually, provided they come on sale[;)]

They won't start selling like hotcakes anytime soon at full price...might as well put them on sale.

Repeating the odd game won't hurt either. There are a couple I actually wish I had bought when they were on sale, but I won't be springing the full amount for them. New users always pop up here at Matrix too.

ps: I already own the two on sale at the moment. Have owned for about 10 or so years now...

Hey Erik how about putting Forge of Freedom back on sale instead of trying to unload this Greek game and that Greek game[;)] The game is 7 years old and nobody talks about it on the forums anymore so I guess it is passe.

I am a big fan of the DotW - and while I missed not having new deal during Historicon week, or having the current deal run 2 weeks instead of one, it's not something I'll lose sleep over. After all, I have plenty of games to play, so it's Matrix losing the opportunity to raid my credit card when there is no new deal. <grin>

I have purchased a couple of the Deals, and have been very pleased with my purchases. I most definitely would NOT have purchased those games at full price (and had not for several years...) but at the lower price points, I am pleased, and looking forward to the continued operation of the Deal of the X Week(s)!

I wish we could vote for new deals. I for one would love to try Distant Worlds, but it is essentially a $100 game right now (with all expansions, which seem to be required to play the game as intended) and $100 is more than I want to pay to try it out. Next would be The Operational Art of War III.

Well, Matrix deals seem to be more about no longer supported games, so while I can't see DW going that way, TOAW III sadly is DotW material.

Please put War Plan Orange on sale. TIA.

The marketing team are still out of office so going to see what we can do tomorrow when they get back in. No promises yet but we'll see!
