Do we have a date for the holiday sale start?

Hi Ian and Erik

Not sure if you announce it ahead of time or keep it a surprise - been accumulating my dollars for months with with Matrix's name on it.[&o]

We haven't announced the date yet, but it's always before Thanksgiving here in the US.

I grabbed Deus Ex GOTY and Baldur's Gate 2 for 4 bucks on GOG yesterday. Now I KNOW some juicy Matrix deals are on the line for X-mas. Don't disappoint us, boys! Your flock is chirpin'.

Yes, and make sure the "complete" catalog is there, last year you left out so much it was ridiculous. Now by complete I certainly don't mean the games you've released new this year as you always leave those out, but if you find it in yer heart to release a few of them at reduced prices, we'd be grateful......at least I and Boomer78 would.

Yes, and more... we like to call it the Matrix silent majority.

Hey Boomer - yeah I picked up Deux Ex GOTY as well yesterday and one other. Everything else they put I wanted I already had bought.

Of course Matrix games even on sale require a completely different level of finance.

So true, but you can find the bargain in the rough. Command Ops games for $39.99 is a pretty good price now. Of course I already have it, but, I'm keeping my eye on the others. Don't want siciliy one and got Highway to the Reich for like $7.99 years ago, so I feel like I'm ahead of the game. There's a couple this year I think and know I'm finally going to buy....if they are on the dam list.[:'(]

Very true, but with a few exceptions there aren't many games elsewhere that burn as much of my time as the Matrix catalog.

Started playing Deux Ex a bit this morning... hadn't played it in years. Man, it takes some time readjusting to that old interface and game play style.

I think you should include all your games in the sale at various % off, a 10% discount on a newer game may push someone to buy. I cant be the only one thats been around awhile that basically has 99.9% of all the older games i wanted. One man's self serving opinion[:D]

That's a good point and a reasonable idea, Budd

I think they should offer an additional % off coupon during the sale based on the number of Matrix/Slitherine titles you already own. 10 titles = 10%, 20 titles = 20% off, etc.

I sort of like the by year % discount. 1 year = 10%, 2 years =20%, 3 years = 30%, 4 years = 40%, 5 years =50% and on up to 90% off. Wouldn't it be great to get some of these titles at 90% off?

Cool! But do we know if this is really true, or just a guess? Of course, we'll all know in a few hours anyway, but still...

Awesome news! Last year I picked up War Plan Orange and War in the Pacific AE, which have kept me plenty busy. Still, I'm psyched for some new games and already have four titles on my wish list for this year. [:)]
