How does the Blood Bowl discount for existing owners work?

The Chaos Edition page says previous Blood Bowl owners get a 60% discount? Is this stacked on top of the Flash sale discount?

I see a price of $7.49, is that discounted fully?

I sometimes forget that this place has this kind of crap.
What kind of crap? People liking boobies? I LOVE boobies. I don't know one man who doesn't, and quite a few ladies who do. Are you trying to say that our liking boobies and expressing that feeling is "crap" now, just because it offends you?

Seriously?

I'd say Fish, an indie dev, would deserve it more than CDPR.

And please don't give me the usual "But they are a poor non-American company" BS.
So? Fez is still a great game.

Not that TW2 isn't. But.

Comparing the status of a major developer to that of an indie is kind of ridiculous.
Fez being "great" notwithstanding, you're comparing two completely different styles of game, and then saying that the work of one man is inherently worth more than that of many, just because he's an indie dev? Hell, you just said it yourself!

You're preposterous. Kindly give up.

I found Season 3 of Sam & Max and Tales of Monkey Island pretty good if that's worth something.

Yea Everything else they've done I've loved. JP though the gameplay takes it from what could have been a 9/10 game to a 2/10. The gameplay is literally almost completely QTEs.
 
Tomb Raider for £7.50? I think I'll wait for £3.75 seeing as I've already played the game on my brother's account. Hopefully that price will arrive soon enough.

You guys should really read the OP, it's not a CD Key you can get out of it. Basically you send the gift to yourself as an email and then copy and paste the gift URL in the email to modbot (works just like a cd key).

I guess that's what I get for being dumb.. I was reading off this link from the OP
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=617641 and didn't see it in there. Went back to OP and realized I should scroll down some more.

The discount seems to have been suspended for the sale, sadly.

Your loss. Brilliant game from my initial ten minutes or so.

I'm just into games, not the backstories.

Unless it's an amazing masterpiece compared to other games in it's genre then I won't feel like I've missed anything. There are so many amazing games out there that I won't regret skipping the game. He just seems like too much of a dick.

I don't understand how the guy is preventing you from purchasing his games?

Maybe I need to watch Indie game the move.

Anyone else having issues with slow downloads?

I just did a speed test and my speed is fine, so its something on valves end.

Edit Hmm unless Virgin Media are throttling steam? I doubt it, but its possible.

Virgin mEdia throttling does not affect this time atm.

We're outside the time range for that (peak hours).

No?

I like sex.

Let's please not start the Puritan American witch hunt.

What I was implying was that "IT HAZ THE SEX" is a crappy reason to buy a game.

saying that the work of one man is inherently worth more than that of many, just because he's an indie dev? Hell, you just said it yourself!

I said nothing of the sort. I said that if we're going to start the "we need to support this dev" bullshit, then logically, the one to support would be the indie dev, not the one that has two AAA(A) games in production.
