Been waiting for less than $5 deal to pick it up and bought it with the 30% code. So far a good clone of Gears of War (with horrible voice recognition system).

Takes a few seconds to disable. If that's the biggest gripe that's caught your eye, you'll be in for a better time than any gears.

Does mr. greenman still post here? I was wondering if all the King's Bounty games register on steam? I see that The Legend says requires a steam account but Armored Princess doesn't say that, so I am presuming that means I have to download off their program?
Yeah, you have to use capsule for it. Better wait for a steam version for armored princess though. I don't know what drm is in the GMG version but I bought armored princess from get games and it comes with starforce drm limited activation and deactivation. The steam version on the other hand doesn't have starforce drm.

Dang, yea I was hoping it would activate on steam. Should have bought it last winter sale for 75% off.

I know self-quoting is horrible, but I was able to fix the issue by changing the funding source in paypal from default instant bank transfer to my credit card. Might help AUSGAF at least!
If you want to get it cheap ($1-2) you can browse around steamtrades or steam forum trades. I bet there are still people with a steam key of it from indie gala 7.

So everyone knows that XCOM is $17.50 when you use the 30% off coupon right?

$5 cheaper than the lowest I've seen the game for ever.
with the $6 GMG credit I got from Sleeping Dogs I got the game for $11.50

That's an amazing deal for XCom. I still have my $6 credit. I'd jump on that in a heart beat if I didn't already own it.
i just hate the cash/credit back. i've planned to use my 35% code to buy Metro Last night, but they changed it to cash back a while back and i can't use this code (which will run out tomorrow 
)
they need to stop those things quickly. i think that ppl want discounts on their current purchases, not their future ones.

Snagged XCOM as well thanks to the post by MikeE21286 . So happy you took the time to include a valid coupon code with the post
How much is it? In Australia (where it's "XCOM: Enemy Unknown (ANZ)") it's showing up as $35.99 AFTER 50% discount :/
Fuck regional pricing.
I know we shouldn't have to resort to this, but use a Proxy site. It's how i avoid all Greenman Gamings BS lately. They are turning into a mini-Steam (the good and the bad)
Yeah, get TunnelBear and set yourself up for US. The free version gets you enough bytes to make all your purchases and never suffer regional concentration camp syndrome again.
There are multiple items in the GMG database that don't even show up using the search when you're in the wrong IP range. Good recent example: LEGO Lord of the Rings.
2K Games are now regionally priced on GMG. It wasn't when I got Borderlands 2 at launch.
GMG will lose all my business if more publishers follow. I go there to escape the Aussie tax.
More like Fuck 2K games and fuck the retail stores. I don't mind slight variations in regional prices, but the outright extortion we Aussies are seeing is making my blood boil.
Pretty much and our dollar has being at parity with the US dollar for almost 3 years now there really isn't any excuse for it.
Wow. Cheers for this, what an awesome little program. Now i don't have to go Proxy sites

Wait... what CoD sale?
On Steam. I didn't think to check the US prices for CoD stuff.
Leon Belmont

I saw that they changed the prices I remember that CoD Blops was 50% off now it's 25% off

They don't. They 30% voucher is probably their entire profit marging and they're doing this as pure marketing to build up a userbase.
That's the theory at least.

Does the 30% code have a limited number of uses?
No, it seems to be valid for multiple uses.

Voucher code keeps saying invalid for me when I try to use on Spec Ops. Any reason why?
edit: nevermind, works now.

This is actually a good thing for them. Using capsule means using their bandwidth. With steam key it doesn't cost them anything once it's sold.
How much does GMG pay Valve to obtain Steam keys? Half their commission? 30% of their selling price? 30% of Steam's price for the game?

They get them directly through publishers who in turn get them free from Valve.

It says that 75% off Renegade Ops will be available today, but at what time? I can't see it with the 75% off applied!

Picked up Xcom yesterday and Spec ops today, incredible deals, wow, also picked up Bastion on Steam for like $3, great game.
Same, only Spec Ops is 75% off for me. Could be a region restriction maybe, I'll try twitter.

Heh I just realized I have a key for Arkham City that I bought/preordered off GMG before they confirmed that it's not the steam version.
If only I could trade it in

anyone have experience with their support? payment was declined and bank claimed they never even received a charge request. something on their end they can fix or is this just a standard problem for this site?
I encountered the same problem too and use Paypal instead for payment. Never contacted their support though.
