GMG just went poop

So, based on the reactions here, I'm guessing the currency change was accompanied by a price hike? I highly doubt GMG pulled a $1=£1, so how accurate is the price conversion?

The publishers provide the prices. It's not a decision of GMG. Most of the time the prices are the same as in UK Steam. Check out SteamPrices for comparison.

I'm not affected, so I can't compare before and after prices. What I want to know is whether people here are legitimately pissed or just don't understand how currencies work.

gladly no change for me, main reason i'm using this site is because they charge me in $ instead of euro

But what's the problem with getting charged in €? Assuming an equivalent price.

1 euro= 4 zl

1 dollar= 3 zl

most publishers use conversion 1 euro = 1 dollar, so if i pay in euro its 33% more.

In France we pay in GBP too.
We are totally fucked with this currency, any idea why Germany, Italy, Spain and all other EU member pay in €, but not us...

I'd be worried if they had any good deals... but since their deals really suck balls (from what I can see) I don't care. Although I am a bit worried that others might follow.

75% discounts with 20-30% additional discounts would beat almost every other site in my opinion.

Bad pricing in certain countries does not equate to bad deals.

I forgot that when someone voices an opinion that it becomes law, please forgive me your majesty!

To be honest, I already gave a good reason as to why GMG beats out almost any competitor, so I'll wait for your proof or reasoning as to they "suck". Keep in mind, just because it might not appeal to you or is more than you'd want to pay, doesn't make it a bad deal!

To answer post above - I just can't (fo' real) find any good deal. I've been really trying to find something good to buy since I'm all done with B:AC and need something new so... that's on what I base my opinion BUT I suppose I should probably wait for some big sale. Cheer(ios)

From what I recall, they don't have any special deals running at the moment. However, they often have top notch discounts.

Stacking the monthly -20% to -25% on top of a -75% to -90% is pretty amazing.
