Typical Jiv, crapping all over my awesome deals! Seriously though, I work on another forum, Cheapassgamer.com and they found this gem and asked if I'd run a promo on it a few months back, Plug-In digital was game and it performed so well they wanted to run it again.

He's just playing coy, AmazonTony. Keep at him. Buy him a drink, ask him to dance. You'll get there.

Tony, I love every single deal you've ever run. Except this one. Can I get Bad Rats on sale? Or maybe the newest sim city? I prefer poo poo in my games to me more...metaphorical.

Haha, I'll pitch a Bad Rats sale. We just had the new SimCity on sale for $39.99, did you miss it? If so, you'll have another shot at it on Sunday.

You used to be able to downvote posts on the App Store but I guess that might hurt people's feelings if they can see that their complaints about spending a dollar on He-Man a week before it went free are stupid.

Unless you're planning to never buy an EA game on PC ever again (a distinct possibility, I will admit) you will eventually have games on Origin.

Can you get Steam keys for Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (currently it's uplay only)? You already offer Steam keys for Far Cry 3 so maybe Ubisoft has seen the light!

Hey Tony, at the start of the year you had the best ever Sims 3 bundle. I didn't jump on it because it was after the Steam sale and funds were gone but I was wondering if that same bundle or something better would happen again in the near/far future?

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Not only that, if you'd buy it in retail the box would literally contain only an Origin key, no game disc whatsoever. :v:

I'd say it's still worth it just for the fact that you don't have to type in those goddamn keys whenever you re-install (I'm looking at you "a million keys to type in" The First Decade). Do keep in mind that some of the games have changed somewhat and some mods need tweaks to work.
