[puggle999]

Sooo Pre-orders
For Base
£35 on Steam
£25 on GMG (w/ their constant 20% off voucher)
The only difference is Blorg avatar now or later.

Just so youse on a tight budget and a hankering for a pre order know

(also the code is APR20 if anyone can't find it flashing on the gmg page)

EDIT NUMBER 2: This is in real money (pound sterling), not your oddly similar strips of paper ($) or eurostuff.

Yeah, you apparently won't get the Steam Activation Code from GMG until release, so no forum avatars or icon until then. Such is the price of discount of $8/$10/$14.

they are both 39.99

Why did anyone disagree with this? The difference in price isn't a huge deal for everyone but this kind of thing is helpful for people on a tight budget.

because it's not true...

if you open th OP link on gmg... it's 39.99
and if you buy on steam it's still 39.99

It costs £30 on GMG, and cheaper with the discount code he posted. On Steam it's £35.

Things may vary between regions but you should accept that it does help some people.

The reason people are disagreeing with his post is becuase he forgot to mention that you have to be signed up on GMG to get the 20% voucher in your email. The website it self wont list the voucher discount, you have to be signed up with your email. Then you add the discount voucher at check out. In USD you save about $9.99 if you go for the Nova $49.99 Edition. Meaning if you buy Nova with the voucher you will be paying the same price as the base game on Steam.

Edit: Just noticed that the base game on GMG for me is actually $5 USD more then it is on Steam. But the other pre order editions are the exact same price as on Steam. So if you do have the 20% voucher in your email from GMG they will indeed be cheaper there.

You don't have to sign up for anything, if you just google gmg code they give it to you on their website.

Yeah, literally on the homepage is the voucher code you can use.

Ahh yes, I forgot they do list it. But I meant that the website will not list the 20% discount off the prices until you add the voucher to it during check out. But the base game of Stellaris is indeed more expensive at GMG. However if you are looking to get say the Nova edition its the exact same price. So if you buy the Nova edition from GMG with the 20% discount it will be the same price as buying the base game on Steam. So for people who are indeed on a tight budget they can get it cheaper there.

I see what we have going on here.

I assume 39.99 is in Euros?

In GBP, the Steam price is £34.99, and the GMG price is £29.99.

Convert €39.99 to GBP and you end up with £31.82. Steam has bumped this up to £34.99, and GMG has pulled it down to £29.99.

This is a UK issue.

 

[Shireknight]

Aw dammit if I'd known I could have got the Spider race version from there for the same price as the basic package from Steam I would have gone there instead *mulls over the idea of getting a refund from Steam*

Hehe actually did it, got the Nova edition from GMG for £33.59

 

[grandad1982]

I brought it from gmg for £24! That's £10.99 cheaper than steam, I really don't get why people are disagreeing with the Op.

EDIT, I see is a£conversion issue.

 

[Kyosfonica]

Definetely going for the galaxy edition on GMG today. The discount code is valid until tomorrow at 16 so... those who want to buy hurry up

 

[Xerberus]

*waits until all GMG codes get disqualified* ))))

 

[Kyosfonica]

*waits until all GMG codes get disqualified* ))))

If they do this, don't worry I can just buy it on Steam and they will lose me as a customer forever

They won't. GMG hands out those -20% off vouchers away like candy. Even when this APR20 one expires, they'll just add another one.

 

[Red_warning]

I was a regular costumer to GMG back in the days when Swedes could buy everything in US dollars, it was crazy cheap. Then they changed it to GBP and now you have to pay extra instead

Some pre-orders aren't eligible however. Most recent one being Dark Souls III which wouldn't accept the voucher, unfortunately.
