Did they say that it was going to end soon?

Yes, it was stated on the Christmas sale page right from the start, right under the orange shopping cart. Now it says Activision catalogue sale ends in 7 days.

Shit. Didn't notice that.

Now, Have you noticed that Gamersgate has raised their prices???

Legio: yesterday, 2,48 euros; today 4,98 euros
Achtung Panzer: yesterday 5,99 euros; today 10 euros

Maybe there are some other titles, but these ones were specially interesting to me.

Yes, I'm almost sure Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come was $3, and now it's $5.
With my huge backlog and christimas list, that's enough to discard it.

Will some kind soul from the US help me get Aura from GamersGate for $2.50 rather than £2.25? I can paypal you the money or buy you something else in exchange of reasonably close value. Plus, you'll get the (tiny number of) blue coins.

In fact, if there are 3 things you want from GamersGate, you could get my game as the free one and then you'd be making money (sort of). Anyone interested please either GogPM me or reply here and I'll come and give you my email address.

killed your bank account ?

What did you buy? And do you have a Steam?

I do, what's your username? Rohan15?

"As the winter solstice is approaching, we feel it is time to take a few days of vacation. This is, after all, when the trolls come out to feed and we will need our strengths to fight them off. Meanwhile, feel free to abuse our hospitality by grabbing a copy, or two, of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Penumbra Collection at a 50% discount. We will be back on the 3rd of January to clean up the mess.

Also, have a look at the neat improvements we’ve done to our shop.

I could have sworn I was torn over getting Men of War last year when 1C had most it's titles on 75% and for some reason I can't imagine I would have done so if the combined price was 7.50 at the time...

Really rather disappointed by 1C this time :/

I wanted to point out one little game in the Gamersgate sale that might get lost in the crowd: Obulis, on sale for only $2. It's a simple, fun, relaxing - yet sometimes devious - physics puzzler, and I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of it during those times when I'm just not up for something more taxing.

The only flaw (?) I would point out is that it's sometimes difficult to get the timing of the puzzles just right, so after working out the solution, you've still got to pull it off. It's not too bad, though - if you're having a really hard time executing your solution, there's probably a much easier one that you've overlooked.

I recommend it for puzzle fans who can handle some minor twitch mechanics. For two bucks, you can't go wrong with it.

Yeah, sure. I can help you with this.

Cool, thanks. My email address is _.

Got it.
