During these sales I've picked up two games that I thought I would never buy so Matrix won money they would never have had under normal circumstances and I won a great gaming experience. The sales experiment seems to be working and Matrix have the right to stop it, restart it, stretch it, squeeze it, massage it etc etc to suit their research. Hopefully Matrix will continue these sales and that the next game on sale will be XXXXXXXXXXX which I ALMOST bought a while ago.

In the meantime, get off their back!!!

Well, it's called deal of the week, not "deal of the two weeks".

No hard feelings, but no need of exclamations either.

The last sentence is...

"Take advantage of this week’s Deal and come back again next week to check out our latest DEAL OF THE WEEK."

So you guys DID say there'd be a new deal this week. Rrik, try reading what the people who work for you write before you lecture your paying customers.

I didn't realize I was lecturing.

I think that was just someone using the PR template from a previous deal of the week. Sorry about that! When we started these, we did not say that they would be going on in perpetuity. We also noted after Historicon that there may be some disruption during August. Right now, we're planning to continue them, but we've made no guarantee as to how long these will go on.

Regards,

- Erik

I probably would not of purchased them if they weren't brought to my attention during the sale. I looked, I researched, i liked, i bought. PM me if you want any suggestions for the next deal

Status: offline 		I think these deals of the week should continue. If only for the fact that there's a lot of discussion on these older games as people who have played them tell people who have never heard of them how good they are (doesn't happen for each game of course ).

with the press event and holidays we've really struggled to keep up with this. We're hoping to get it all back to usual pretty soon as we come back up to full staffing levels but we cant guarantee ever week there will be a new deal as we just don't have a big enough team to dedicate people to just that task so when other things come up sometimes this has to slide.

Please be patient and we'll do what we can!

Status: offline 		Just keep cycling through low/non selling games. There must be quite a batch of these here I would think...just about willing to put money it actually, provided they come on sale

They won't start selling like hotcakes anytime soon at full price...might as well put them on sale.

Repeating the odd game won't hurt either. There are a couple I actually wish I had bought when they were on sale, but I won't be springing the full amount for them. New users always pop up here at Matrix too.

ps: I already own the two on sale at the moment. Have owned for about 10 or so years now...

Status: offline 		I am a big fan of the DotW - and while I missed not having new deal during Historicon week, or having the current deal run 2 weeks instead of one, it's not something I'll lose sleep over. After all, I have plenty of games to play, so it's Matrix losing the opportunity to raid my credit card when there is no new deal. <grin>

I have purchased a couple of the Deals, and have been very pleased with my purchases. I most definitely would NOT have purchased those games at full price (and had not for several years...) but at the lower price points, I am pleased, and looking forward to the continued operation of the Deal of the X Week(s)!

I wish we could vote for new deals. I for one would love to try Distant Worlds, but it is essentially a $100 game right now (with all expansions, which seem to be required to play the game as intended) and $100 is more than I want to pay to try it out. Next would be The Operational Art of War III.

I second War Plan Orange. I'd like to buy it but wont buy it at full price that's for sure.

Iain I know it's only sold by Matrix in the USA and it's currently only $19.99 anyway but given PC Gamer's 100 greatest games of all time edition which is their September edition includes Battle of Britain 2 (#99) it might make sense to include that in some kind of deal... I already own it but yea...

I really want some new games that are supposed to be released this year (CW II, Heroes of Stalingrad, Pandora and Flashpoint Campaigns) and I fear I'll drain my savings on sales. Matrix has been tempting me with these sales, but so far I've held out. They'd better start releasing these new games soon.

I picked up Theater of War collection awhile back for $11.24 which included everything but Korea. I kind of regret doing that, now. The game's OK. I'm just not getting into it.
