Glass Rebel said:Haha, oh shit.
Stop It said:Wow, Green Man Gaming just made me very happy.
My old copies of Reign: Conflict of Nations and NecroVisioN: Lost Company were suddenly worth £9 each. This added to the 20% off code meant that I was able to pre-order Batman: Arkham City for £3. I was meaning to buy the game at some point, but that's just silly, heh.
Glass Rebel said:brb guys posting my referral link on gamefaqs
Weenerz said:Offering referral links, help me destroy wilflare and all his referrals!!!! ;P

Thats mine if anyone needs it.
Chiaroscuro said:I want to buy a copy of Dead Island for my brother. Is any way to gift it?
Since the game is Steamworks, can I buy it on my GMG account, look for the steam key anywhere and send it to my brother? I do not want to install capsule, is it possible?
botlite said:GMG Twitter posted this not long ago:
For those wondering, yes our trade-in prices are super good right now on purpose, and no, it WONT LAST LONG! /Rob
Same here. It kind of felt odd with the referals at first, but when you think about it it benefits GMG in the long run.Max said:after getting deus ex and dead island for $34 each, i'm really loving this site
have already referred 3 friends and gotten $15 which is great
Max said:GreenManGaming |OT| of Referral Links Being a Bannable Offense
DoctorWho said:Green Man Gaming is awesome. I need more games but I'm not sure if Dead Island is the game for me. I'm tempted at the price we can get it at though. It's almost like I want to buy it because it's cheap.
WaywardGMG said:Also working on more US payment options. Which ones would you like to see?
WaywardGMG said:Money / Credit Card problems: So BoA and Chase have this thing about illegal online gambling, and aren't very good at learning that "gaming" doesn't always mean we're trying to get you to play poker.
Heavy said:Thanks for the info, Rob. Your site rocks! I'll have to PM a mod for a title change
Derrick01 said:First, thanks for being awesome with the crazy prices.
If you can I'd like to see a Discover option for credit cards in the future. I tried to buy Dead Island the other day only to find out it's apparently only Visa and Mastercard, which kind of pissed me off until an hour later when I (thankfully) remembered I have a Visa too that I pretty much never use. Not a big deal or anything but I like to use as few cards as possible in as few places as possible.
Gez said:Also when are the following going up for pre-order Rob?
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
Hard Reset
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Nuclear Dawn
Cheech said:Chase locked my card after trying to place an order on your site. When I called to unlock, they said the problem was with the location, not necessarily that it was a UK "gaming" site. Is it possible you guys are running your CC transactions as a local merchant and not mail order? I don't really know anything about CC banking stuff, but it seems like that would be an issue.
FWIW, I had a similar problem with Steam when they were running CC transactions out of the Netherlands or something nutty like that.
Personally, I'm ok using Paypal with you for now, but it would be nice if this thing with Chase gets resolved. Also... American Express would be a plus?
Heavy said:If you don't wanna answer this question it's totally understandable but how are you guys making any money off these pre-orders? $34 for games that are $50 everywhere else, including Steam... that's insane. I read that you're going to make the 20% off vouchers be 15% off in the future but that's still only $36 for AAA $50 games.

Yeah, most likely their percentage take is the lowest out there.Gez said:I'd imagine they are only making 1 or 2 dollars on each of those games and are reducing their 30% take and passing it onto the consumer for market share? Just a lazy guess.
WaywardGMG said:My name is Rob at GMG - I've been eyeing up this thread for the past 4 days and it's been a little frustrating not being able to answer your questions. However, I seem to be approved now! Thanks to my friend @Spookieuk and the GAF mods! Remind me to give you some credit or something, Spookie.
