This is pretty shocking and pretty bad (GG was a great way to get the old PDS titles). I hope people who got DRM free downloads from there can redownload them.

Does not affect any games purchased, I just downloaded EU1 with no trouble.

I hope that at least the PDS games will return to GG, because the Blue Coins rewards system + the frequent high discounts are a very good incentive for purchasing games and DLC. Those meager discounts with no rewards at Steam Store are not good enough for me to want to buy anything at all.

There's always Green Man Gaming, I just bought the new CKII: Horse Lords Collection and managed to save about £5 with their discount vouchers. They also give you credit with some purchases!

GMG has been my go-to place to buy stuff when there aren't any sales because they almost always have some sort of 20-25% voucher active.

Yeah, those meager 90% off discounts for year old games are no good compared to the expiring rewards points that you need to buy about 5 games to be able to get one. Much better value!

What a shame; though when Common Sense wasn't released there we had a thread and already guessed this was what would happen. Good thing that lead me to pick up deus vult there just for the icon. Just a shame I will never be able to get the NA and IN icons now.

(They were too pricey to buy just for icons at that time.)

Sad news. Though I just checked and they actually do sell some mac versions; though I guess it is the versions you had made out of the house.

I hope that at least the PDS games will return to GG, because the Blue Coins rewards system + the frequent high discounts are a very good incentive for purchasing games and DLC.
Steam does good discounts once in a while too. Though I too really liked the blue coins system; now I have about 3 € worth of worthless blue coins. Oh well.
But I have never gone after the discounts for PI games; I have always been willing to pay full price due to how great they are; and I continue to do that. If there is a discount that is great; if there isn't I will buy it anyway.

PDS games don't go beyond 75% on Steam, and when they do, they are on individual items and Steam does not offer a variety of PDS bundles unless it's the massive ones. Expiring reward points can be gained by buying games with discounts, and the blue coins can be used to buy games that have a discount in turn. Not all of us like buying new games (new as in 'released not long ago'), nor at full price or with minor discounts.

Perhaps there were a couple of 80% discounts on Steam, but I do not see how that is a contradiction unless you decided to misinterpret it (i.e. strict constructionism).

Also, @TheChronoMaster you seem like someone who only buys games for himself. Blue Coins come in quicker for people who buy games for their friends apart from games for personal use.

By logic that is a contradiction (what I meant) as "don't go beyond 75%" is a restriction and then you went on to say that restriction can be broken. Perhaps it's true that I'm strict with constructionism as I am a programmer and preciseness is everything.

But I do agree with you on your last point, that was a great use of Gamersgate, but I have bought games for friends before on Green Man Gaming though if you know where to look (VIP + 20% global discount). Personally I think there is no loss here, however I'm unsure if GMG has the same catalogue of Paradox games as Gamersgate had (if the older titles are available there). I have also noticed that other distributor GOG has all of the oldest Paradox titles that are generally missing from Steam and GMG and GG.

Perhaps I should have worded it differently, then. "Large PDS game-specific bundles do not have discounts that surpass 75%, and discounts that do otherwise are only on individual items, as Steam offers no small PDS game-specific bundles."

I know Green Man Gaming, but I have not paid much attention to it so far, other than one time I saw some price inflation + discount which gave me a bitter concept of the brand.
