By the time I saw it and found several of them (1x50% and 3x30%) all had expired. No fun in that. [:(]
Guess I am not trying anything new... [&:]

So how do you know that they have expired?

Went to check out and put the codes in, one at a time, and each time there was a warning message that the code had expired.

Congratulations to those that found them. We obviously didn't hide them well enough! That's a lesson for next year.
Don't forget the 10% coupon is still valid for everyone on anything in the store. You wont do better than that till Christmas!

Was going to try two new games, oh, well. Will stick with what I have and be happy with WITP:AE!

I saw one earlier and didn't know what it was about..oh hum.
RE: The perfect Easter Egg for a wargamer! Up to 50% off…. everything!
Got a few games, thanks to the discount. Then wished I had gotten more and went over to Slitherine. Found a code on an odd page at 10 AM EST and it still worked, so I picked up a few more!

I got my email at 9 am EST, popped $120 bucks of stuff into my cart, found an egg immediately -- no good. Found 4 more over the next hour -- no good.
I guess you needed to be up early (by East Coast standards), watching their webpage for the early announcement, and not be working. By the time the email got to me, it was all over. Bummer -- I was salivating over a 30% discount.
I wonder if they are going to keep advertising the eggs, considering they've been used. It'll really crank up the page hits; I know they got a boatload out of me.

I think it was great Matrix did this Easter egg hunt. Too bad more people didn't benefit from it. I tried a couple of codes for a few games I didn't really want that bad, so I wasn't that disappointed that the code didn't work. I just backed out of the purchase. I hate spending money on a game unless I really want it. There aren't any games currently available that I really want.
There are some on the horizon, though, like DW Shadows and the new version of Conquest of the Aegean, that I probably won't be able to resist. Hopefully, I can hold out until Christmas for those titles, but probably not.

So all eggs found, no codes left?

I had only found the four. I have looked at every game on the website and the other tabs for other information, even the Press tab. Could have missed some, but got 1@50% and 3@30%.
For 10% off it isn't worth it for me to try something new. Sorry guys.

Hi guys,
This was our first time trying this and we clearly underestimated the response! The larger discount codes are all used up at this point, but the 10% code is good for all weekend long. Happy Easter!
If we do this again next year, we'll figure out a better way, so they can't all be found so quickly to give folks a better chance of finding eggs throughout the weekend.
Regards,
- Erik

A better way is to make sure I get one. Keep that in mind for next year.

I realize that you do not have to do these types of promotions, but I appreciate the effort on your part. I am also glad you saw the short comings of the process, since I also did not get to fins any of the eggs that were hidden. no worries though. My hope was to get one so I could purchase another of your great titles
After dropping 80 dollars on WiTE, I had to appease the wife with about twice that much [:)]
Good luck on the future on these promos....I see WiTP AE on my Christmas list......

If you want to have a sale,...have a sale. Don't do something that benefits a few and leaves most out in the cold.
