Tony: How often do you guys pricematch Steam deals? In the past I've gotten some good deals off Amazon because I missed Steam Deals by a few hours and Amazon has offered the same price, but is a bit slower about bumping the price back up.

Crabtree posted:Is the Space Marine download in the Tantalizing THQ medley a steam key or the entire game itself? You can download the bits from us or take the Steam key and download it from Steam, either way you have to play on Steam. Blast of Confetti posted:Affiliate links so Lowtax takes a cut? He's sold out! Glad you're digging the bundles. To be perfectly honest I was less excited about this part of the sale than some of the stuff starting in a couple of days. Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Tony: How often do you guys pricematch Steam deals? I need to add this to the OP. Sorry. We PM Steam on most stuff, there are some notable exceptions including: 1. Flash sales - as you mentioned sometimes our pricing systems take a hot second to update, this makes it not feasible to match flash sales. 2. Products we don't carry (this includes bundles we don't carry) 3. Sometimes we miss stuff, if you're curious about a price match ask here, or PM me, I have my email set to page my phone when I get PMs from here and CAG.

Are you guys doing another sale for Paradox games this month? I know you guys do it all the time, but I might as well ask.

Specifically I remember a pack with Vicky 2 and Sword of the Stars getting some huge sales in the past, and I'm finally ready to buy it. Does that pack still exist/will it be on sale soon?

Is that Modern Warfare/Black Ops double pack that was supposed to have happened at Thanksgiving still on the cards, or have Activision pulled the plug on that idea altogether? Also this might be out of your sphere of control, Tony, but some way to view the most recently discounted digital titles would be useful. It can be easy to miss new deals on Amazon during the big sales when the most recent price reductions are shuffled in with the existing deals.

I like that functionality alot, I'll bring it to the team. Also, keep an eye on the "Bundles" and "Deals not to be missed" sections at the top of the page. We'll be highlighting the new deals we think are the best there.

Tony, I only see $10 off on PS3 Far Cry 3. Any idea if the Xbox 360 one has not updated or is there a miscommunication somewhere? If you can talk to the xbox team, could you ask if they plan to do a $20 off or bigger promo on it this month?

AmazonTony posted:The $10 off is for Student members and you have to use a code to get it. Well I'll be. I think I am a student and so I'll look at it when I get off work. Kinda weird that it seems you can get an extra $10 off with the PS3. Is it just because people considering the PS3 the inferior edition of Far Cry 3? edit: AmazonTony Amazon seems to be price matching Kmart regarding this. Kmart has Far Cry 3 for $50 this week. I'm stuck at work but do you think you can see if they're going to price match the 360 edition? Ineffiable fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Dec 18, 2012 |

Poor tony, somebody changed his avatar/title... Amazon can avoid all the taxes they want as far as I am concerned, so long as it is legal. That's just how you do business. Plus they just cut me a $600 royalty check so I really don't care if they pay taxes or not! As far as sales are concerned, I'm still hoping for some more RPG love, but that amalur bundle looks pretty sweet for now! Also, good looking out tony! You know why.

And yeah, don't worry Tony, we're all big supporters of Amazon here. I've been paying tax forever since I'm a WA resident and its still where I do the bulk of my shopping and, increasingly, digital downloads.

I doubt there is a way to somehow get Steam keys for Kingdom of Amular? I know it's a EA game, but the Steam version actually has achievements and such. But that version still $60 and probably will remain that amount since Rhode Island is supposedly the one in charge of discounting that version.

The Machine posted:Tony, what's the lowest we can expect Binary Domain? I think that and Dishonored are the only other games I need from this year to round out other's GOTY noms. We just ran it for $9.99 and that was the lowest price planned in December. I'm pushing for deeper on that title though.

I bet it was Radium. Semi-related to video games but is Amazon going to price match Toys R' Us on some console games? That new Zelda game is about $29 there right now.

Now IANAL, but I'm pretty sure the legal responsibility for making sure sales tax is paid is on the seller and not the buyer, since the seller is the one actually turning in the tax money to the government...

I don't know about the sales tax stuff, but the UK tax avoidance is a pretty massive cause célèbre in the UK right now, what with the tax paid on the sales in the billions literally being nil for some recent years. Of course what people aren't talking about is that Google is in the same boat, but nobody wants to boycott Google because how the gently caress would you do that.
