Looks like Green Man Gaming (GMG) is going to be running a New Year Sale. Every day there will be new deals. Not sure for how long though. In addition to that they’ll be giving away 20,000 copies of Sniper: Ghost Warrior. Most likely it’ll require their capsule program.
The deals for day 1 are listed below (Note this sale doesn’t start until Jan 1st GMT). Some of the deals are for their UK site only. They are noted below with [CO.UK].
- FEAR 3 is 50% off! – uses Steamworks.
- Batman: Arkham City is 50% off! – uses GFWL.
- Super Meat Boy is 75% off for 24 hours! – Steamworks.
- Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days is 75% off for 24 hours! – Steamworks.
- [CO.UK] Aliens Versus Predator is 75% off for 24 hours! – Not sure if it uses Steamworks, but this might activate on Steam.
- [CO.UK] Assassins Creed: Brotherhood is 75% off for 24 hours!
We will also be giving away 20,000 copies of Sniper: Ghost Warrior from 1300 GMT on January 1st 2012! To get your copy just use voucher code GREEN-MANSS-NIPER to receive a 100% discount on the title. This is ONLY while stocks last!
If you prefer your games on Steam, you can still get the game free then trade it in for store credit to buy a Steamworks game.
Scam…they are scammers, they kept the site “under maintenance” and that they will be back after 30 mins and that “site is overloaded by so many buyers” until the deal ended, Cheap trick to lie, i’ll never buy from them again
They made a blog post and it said they got a lot more traffic then they expected. GMG does have a history of having site outages. It’s happened to Steam during some of their sales too. Still kinda disappointed in the way the promotion was ran, including the date. A number of people were able to get their free game and it was a free offer so I won’t hold too much of a grudge.
