Green Man Gaming - cheap downloadable PC games!

Archive: 5 posts


Hey, didn't see a thread around here but GMG is really becoming a trend because they are constantly offering cheap PC games. They give out discount codes (-10%. -20%) around in their Twitter, Facebook and the site itself. A lot of their games activate on Steam, here's an exact list (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2046945).

Here's an example of my own: I bought Deus Ex Human Revolution last week. On Steam it is 50?, a bit less with the pre-release discount. The price on GMG is lower. There was a -20% discount code on the site that I used. The price of the game was 34? for me and I was extremely happy.

Now here's a tip: GMG's referral system is awesome. If you follow this link to the site: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=gujoduce, you will get a 5? credit on your wallet for free for your purchase. That means you can buy another game!

Check on the site often, there are some crazy discounts for some fantastic games. It's got a nice collection of indie games too. By the way, buy Super Meat Boy. It's freakin' awesome and has a reasonable price.

Wow, a game I just bought on steam is half the price on that site :C Ah well.

Also, do you know how they are able to have these deals? They must have some sort of background thing going on to make selling games for cheaper than everyone else gets them more money.

It's digital download, I'd imagine they are just trying to get more money via increased sales at a lower profit margin unlike Steam who are going lower than in shops but not much lower, meaning they still make a lot of money?

I have no idea how this works. But I like Steam, so I'll probably just keep using that :/

You can get cheaper games in China. I just had a friend come back from China with a bunch of pirated stuff. Apparently it's legal there. 2011-08-22 02:43:00

Their publicity exploded with the Deus Ex deal and that was probably the purpose. So they have a good reason for the good prices.2011-08-22 12:39:00
