To be honest, thats why i never bother with other DDs.

They have a lot of deals that is much better than Steam, but most if not all are region locked.

I remembered that Impulse had a very good deal with Mass Effect 1 and 2 combo pack. Then, D2D had a 29.99 USD offer for BFBC2 like 3 months ago. I remember those 2 very well because they were damn good deals, but i cant buy it.

Nahh, it's the same. Still remember the last Summer Sale when everyone is going rage for not being able to purchase GTA 4 due to Steam region-locking it?

To be honest too, I rarely see GG implementing region-lock & I've to admit that I'm kinda surprised that with this latest development. Time to tweet them to see if it was a directive from the publisher or dev.

At least Steam only locks a few of their games, compare to stores like Impulse where most of their non Stardock games are all locked.

Gamersgate never really have anything i want.

You missed out on a lot then.

Anyway, whichever DD gives me a better price gets the deal. As easy as ABC.

That's pretty much my policy too, if the difference is very small though (few USD), I will get it on Steam for convenience though.

GG has some less known game so I can understand they do not attract to lots of people (I also only interested in few games on GG too)

Same here, especially since my dedicated Steam HDD is running out of space.

That's true but recently they've managed to get their hands on some of the popular games. A good sign that will last long, I hope.
You can always separate them into another partition. I believe prasys has listed out a brief list of steps to go about it.

On another note, it has been confirmed that NWN 2 has been removed from the list of games for Summer Sale. According to GG:

Torchlight 75% off, Steam might follow-up with a weekend sale..

Dont really see whats im missing out.

Im not really interested in most games on GG,and Steam pretty much have everything.

LIES!!!

I bought Mass Effect 2 just fine! Its only $15!

Dragon Age: Origins (also $15) and a bunch of games also on freaking sale. You guys need to CHECK IT OUT.

Why do you accuse me? I tweeted GG about it & they admitted that the discount (not the games) was region locked.
/sarcasm

Ehh, seriously bro. Can you send me the link for ME2? I checked http://www.gamersgate.com/summersale but don't see ME2 inside. They added in Torchlight though.

Well, I can confirm it, I just bought Mass Effect2 for 14,97usd too from them.

I just found it on the main link to their sales: Summer Sales at GG

For info I am located in China so usually it's same "region" as Msia but sometimes it is different, not sure for GG really.

Holy crap, that's one heck of a good deal.

USD15 for ME2.

i cant find the link for it...

I think both of you guys are in another region / on VPN / proxy. This is what I see:

Well, after checking looks like China is indeed considered a different zone than Msia

Very strange asian country like China got the sales but another another like Msia...

Well, you could try to use a proxy (in office or something) maybe.

Sorry about the false alert then....

Just clarified with GG via Twitter. Only the US region has the 50% discount. Seems like accessing GG from China will automatically route you to the US region.

Hummmm, it's quite strange.... but hey, I am not complaining.

Getting some proxy from Hong Kong or Taiwan could do the trick for Msian people

it's this one?

I believe i set my region to MY, and im able to pay for it using my maybank credit card.

And this is what I get if I tried to purchase from the link you provided there.
