Settlers 7 is $6 on Gamersgate.

Does Desura ever run a Christmas sale? I was hoping Dominions 3 might go on sale.

Kildar:

Amazon is supposed to have it for 7.50 come X-mas Day. :) Good things come to those who wait.

I did in fact wait, thanks!!!

I have over half the lego games now, just need the star wars ones and Indy to go on super sale and will scoop them up for my nephews.

This is actually the only possible holiday sale that would have me buying. Otherwise, I’m sitting out (having bought a bunch around Thanksgiving).

Or at least probably sitting out.

A few cheap titles that caught my eye at GamersGate:

[ul]
[li]Disciples Sacred Lands Gold - $0.99[/li][li]Jagged Alliance - $1.00[/li][li]Master of Orion - $1.48[/li][li]Disciples II Gold Bundle - $1.99 (my personal favorite)[/li][li]Master of Orion II: Battle of Antares - $2.00[/li][/ul]

The list goes on and on and on.

Connects to steam? Does it matter?

Giaddon · 2012-12-24T14:39:59.000Z

No, and I guess that’s up to you…?

(Doesn’t matter to me personally)

BrianRubin · 2012-12-24T14:40:38.000Z

Doesn’t connect to steam, doesn’t matter. AWESOME game.

Doubtful, but you can be sure it will install UPlay and connect to Ubi … :)

Daagar · 2012-12-24T14:45:23.000Z

That’s fine, wasn’t sure if there was any benefit gained from this title being on Steam. :)

BrianRubin · 2012-12-24T14:46:10.000Z

Nah, connects to Uplay one way or another I’d surmise. I have the GamersGate version and it runs like a champ.

BrianRubin · 2012-12-24T14:46:33.000Z

Also, I have never seen so many Offers pages on GamersGate before. Holy. Crap.

Giaddon · 2012-12-24T16:42:08.000Z

It’s city builders day on GOG. Good time to grab the impressions games. Add in Startopia and Space Colony, too!

Tyjenks · 2012-12-24T17:22:31.000Z

If people don’t get Settlers 7 for $6, they are stupid.

I echo the sentiment, but it doesn’t seem that Startopia is on sale. Only $6 (and worth it), but not on sale. Space Colony HD is half off, at $5.

Penny_Dreadful · 2012-12-24T17:34:13.000Z

If people will sell out to publishers and their draconian DRM schemes just so they can play a video game, they are gutless.

Giaddon · 2012-12-24T18:35:48.000Z

Huh, Startopia was half off earlier in the sale. Guess they’re gradually de-saling things.

Seconded

Not to derail the thread, but the DRM is now only mostly draconian. From what I’ve read, it is no longer persistent online to play. I am downloading now (they were calling me stupid if I didn’t buy!), but haven’t yet installed to see.

Rock8man · 2012-12-24T19:52:24.000Z

On the 360, don’t forget today is the day that the Trials games go on sale. The only one I don’t own is the last Trials Evolution DLC, and that’s down from the already reasonable price of $5 to $2.50. And the new DLC that came out on Tuesday is $5 (not on sale today btw, just the regular price).
