One of the best deals I see there is Unreal Tournament 3 for $2.32. That's a heck of a deal for great multiplayer shooting.

Can someone explain to me what the hell g2a is doing with their "shield" service? Looks like they're giving you 30 days free and then you pay 1$ per month for it? I wanted to buy UT 3 but when I saw that I just got annoyed...

G2A buy mostly from the "grey" market, which is not 100% legal in most cases. In the event your key is invalid, or gets blacklisted by the publisher, they will offer a refund provided you paid the "Shield" fee, which is like 79pence or 1 dollar. Basically they are aware their keys are mostly dubious, and will only provide a refund if you pay into their pockets in the event of blacklisting. They get away with it because they're in China.

I know what the service is, I use different sites similar to G2A that do the same thing. I was asking what the hell are they doing, turning it into a monthly service? When I went to buy Unreal Tournament 3 from the paypal offer, it had shield activated and said "free for 30 days, 1 euro per month afterwards" or something of the sort. Now this used to be on a transaction basis, not monthly...

Lol. Probably trying to make some money because Valve is axing the regional key skullduggery.

So sad seeing SimCity 4 on there.

rtwjunkie · Mar 16, 2015

It's actually a good thing! Think of it as extra life for a good game! Probably alot who would never have played it get exposed to the city-building genre, and that is a good thing.

I bought it off GOG a year ago and it plays wonderfully, without any EA interference.

I suggest also Nox on GOG.com

FordGT90Concept · Mar 16, 2015

2000 fits on GOG being almost two decades old. SimCity 4 is barely a decade old. It's also insulting that the last, true SimCity sequel came out so long ago. Why did EA reinvent the wheel not once (SimCity Societies), but twice (SimCity)? EA should dig the source code out for SimCity 3000 Unlimited and task a team with updating the graphics, making it multithreaded, and adding multiplayer. I suspect it would sell really well. EA needs to stop trying to fix what isn't broken.

No sense waiting on EA to do something they never will:

I'm still counting down the days until EA folds. Properties like Populous and Black & White could be revived by 22cans, Will Wright could maybe buy back SimCity, The Sims, and Spore, Ubisoft might be interested in Need for Speed, and so on.

I'd be ok with that, as long as I still have the ability to play Mass Effect series and Crysis series.

Transistor, from the makers of the game Bastion, is on sale for $6.79 on Steam. From what I hear it is an amazing game.

64K · Mar 18, 2015

For anyone that doesn't know about this site. They fairly frequently do give aways. Right now it's for a bundle. Sometimes they say it's only for residents in the UK though.

It's not. Bastion was 10 times better.
