Yup. Most downloads are 50% off within what seems like a month of release anyway, I imagine they are still making a margin even when they discount things 25-35% constantly. Often the "after coupon" price is not a ton better than other stores prices.

This kind of business has very little operating expenses, pay for hosting, pay a couple of people to keep the pricebook updated and answer a few emails... they don't need to store or ship any product, have any store front, etc. Personally I think their "always a discount code" system is stupid, and I would rather they just skip the annoying codes and just make the prices on the site what they really are. Nobody is going to buy anything from them without at least 25% off, so just build it into your prices and quit making it confusing for no reason.

They would have to be pretty stupid to think that taking losses will "build a user base" that will continue to buy from them if their prices are no longer the best in the future. There is no reason at all to pay more for a steam code due to "loyalty". Their user base will last as long as their prices are the lowest... it needs to be a long term strategy.

Those codes can only be used ones per user account. So the reason why the prices aren't adjusted to the 25%-35% codes is because you can't buy more then one game at the discount price. Of course there is a work around if you have multiple accounts but still there is a reason why they use coupon codes instead of just adjusting prices.
I have no problem pressing Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+P to save 35% off a game, not sure what is so annoying about it.

1. Bioshock will NOT work with any vouchers whatsoever. (Straight from GMG in an email.)
2. No Ubi Soft games in Canada... which REALLY sucks. I want AC3 and FC3 and little else right now. I have a 35% off voucher waiting to be used...

Yeah that sucks. 35% off FC3 would have been nice.

Meh about FC3. The version GMG sells is not redeemable on Steam anyways.
I'll wait for the Steam Christmas sale (supposed to start on the 20th) to get FC3, it will probably be at least 25% off.

FC3 is a uplay game regardless. All Steam would do is make you load a DRM to load a DRM

Do you think Sonic 4E2 is going to go on sale again?

Torchlight II for 50% off +35% is kind of tempting, but I'd rather have Sonic.

(Also, Hitman Blood Money for two bucks sounds pretty good.)

EDIT: Gacht, that's GamersGate. Never mind.

GMG’s survey promised that the 35% off “WINTR-SRVEY-42012″ coupon code would be good until January first, but their latest email has moved the expiration date to December 14th.

The survey code is only good once per user, but you can combine it with GMG’s preorder initiative. Until December 14th, preordering a game from GMG will net you a 35% off coupon. You could use the survey code for 35% off a preorder and get another 35% code…which you can then use to preorder another title or grab a regular game at 35% off.
