Steam's Midweek Madness is really mad! What's with the double promotions?!

Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition | -75% | $7.50
Gothic Complete Pack | -75% | $18.75
ArcaniA: Gothic 4 | -75% | $12.50
Gothic + Gothic II: Gold Edition + Gothic 3 | -75% | $5.75

Gothic 3 | -75% | $3.75

It's from GamersGate, not Steam. This thread caters to all digital distribution platforms.

EDIT: Just rechecked. The promotion is locked to the US region. For GamersGate, you can easily bypass the region-lock via Hotspot Shield.

If you're an ardent fan of Serious Sam series (no, not the HD version), GOG.com is having a 1-day 60% discount for the First Encounter! Promotion will expire on 24-MAR-11 7.59pm!

Serious Sam: The First Encounter | -60% | $2.39

That's weird. Direct2Drive is also owned by IGN hence I don't see the reason for IGN to come up with a new PC game store. Are they migrating Direct2Drive to this new store? I can't check Direct2Drive in my office so can anyone help to check if Direct2Drive is still around?

Impulse Driven with a few fresh faces in the promotion list!

18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker | -75% | $4.99
Astral Masters | -50% | $9.97

It IS region locked. Refer to the image below. Nevertheless, it's good to know that you've got your desired game at lower price.

It's more or less like GamersGate, where no additional client is required. You can download the game file directly from the website once you're logged on & CD-key will be provided as well.

And no, it's not easy to fool the region-lock mechanism. First, they check for IP. Then they'll also randomly ask you to authenticate the purchase via phone.
