  Too bad Chaos Campaign DLC isn't on sale. I have 88 hours but mostly PvP, only like 4 or 5 in the Campaign since PvP is where the game focus is. Also have 247 hours on the first one, again mostly PvP. These types of games are more on the PvP scene and Campaign isn't exactly stellar.

  If it is not too much extra trouble try to add relevant isthereanydeal.com and gg.deals links for the game you are making the deal about.

  Saves time on looking it up and cross checking for past bundles and deals etc.

  But only if it is not too much hassle otherwise thanks for all your hard work Lysander we really do appreciate it.

    I do check those before posting any deal.
    In the large majority of cases what I post is the all time lowest price shown by these sites.
    On some occasions I do post a price that is higher than the all time lowest price if the all-time lowest price is old and has not been repeated since or on the few occasions when it is wrong (sometimes it shows $0 when in fact it got the price at a time of a free to play weekend).

    Games in bundles are always cheaper. Unless a game is in a current bundle (which I normally point out) and can be bought now I do not bother mentioning a bundle from the past as it is useless now because it cannot be bought.

    The only thing I do not do is actually linking ITAD and GG - simply because these days I am mostly posting from a phone which is tricky enough with copying and pasting links.

    I doubt we are going to start a trend about people being nice - the only way people stop their hate here is if the mods start sanctioning and policing more and there is no more anonymity - then people would be nice as making a nasty or derogatory comment could get them banned (and going one step further, with real names, could jeopardise their job in extreme cases).

    The peculiar thing is that mostly the people hating have a few things in common which I won't go into here (but you can PM if you are interested) as that will draw the trolls again.

      I find it quite easy to copy and paste on mobile as I have had to find a way to be effective on both phone and pc.

      I just open a new tab go to the link and then click the url bar and there should pop up a copy url button then go to the original tab and paste it there (there should be a paste icon or you can just hold tap and paste it like you normally would).

      I find it very useful and honestly at least for me it would save me time having to open ITAD and GG.deals every time I come across one of your game deals.

      Those two sites are really the only two sites I use to check prices for games and they seem to work well.

      But yeah if it is too much work for you that is ok just thought I would ask in case you were able to do it or not.

      I have been aiming for 75% off minimum usually try for 80% and above.

      My only exception to this rule is if the game is under $1 or very close to it then I make an exception but even then most cheap games get 50% off minimum from time to time so waiting makes sense even for the cheap $1-ish games.

      Thanks as always for your effort I really commend your dedication to providing us with up to date live game deals it is honestly sometimes what gets me through the day just the thought of your deals popping up usually something really good too I don't have yet.

      Ciao.

        Well, the problem is I cannot just copy and paste as when the link opens it is an affiliate link from those sites and I have to then edit the URL.
        Plus I have shitloads of tabs open which adds difficulty.
        I understand what you are saying about saving time but really there is no need to check as I check them essentially for you before I post the deal.
        I would look at a game, check those sites, if the price is all time lowest or close, then I post the deal. If the price is not good I do not post.
        That is why I often say; All time lowest price for this game according to ITAD - this means I have checked ITAD before posting.
        But, when I am on PC I will try to remember.
        Have a great day

          @Lysander: Cheers thanks no worries I understand just thought to say in case there was a chance haha.

          I usually check mostly for past bundles as the lowest historical price I know you check already.

          Also there should be no affiliate links if posting from gg.deals or isthereanydeal.com when you search for the game.

          Here are the examples that would take place for this deal just by searching the name of the game in the respective websites.

          isthereanydeal.com example

          https://isthereanydeal.com/game/battlefleetgothicarmadaii/in…

          gg.deals example

          https://gg.deals/game/battlefleet-gothic-armada-2/

          No affiliate links just the pages showing all the data and info which for me I would use all to analyse and workout whether I could get a better deal by buying a pack or waiting for a new bundle etc.

          But yeah I can just look it up myself no big deal just thought maybe if you wanted some feedback on your posts this would be it.

          I am always welcoming feedback on whatever I do online whether good or bad I take some and leave the others.

          To each their own and own to each.

            @AlienC: The problem is if people click on the link, and then from there on shop now. Then there are affiliate links and I am pretty sure that could cause problems on this website.
            I am happy to add info for you if and when I am posting from a PC.
            Keep in mind though that past bundle info is pretty worthless.
            Example: BL1 was in a $1 tier in a bundle, and in the most recent bundle it was in tier 3. So waiting for BL1 to go back to the $1 tier bundle or be even cheaper than that might either take a very long time or will never happen.
            Same thing with Payday 1 - free ages ago but since then pretty stable in price despite being an old game - in fact much more stable in price than Payday 2.

              @Lysander: I see what you mean.

              Well I find the info sometimes decides for me whether or not I buy something even if it is trivial stuff like past bundle data.

              Well you know more than me at this point so I will let you decide what you are going to do in future.

              Those are just my habits and automated process when deciding to buy a new game.

              As always thanks for what you do man I appreciate it really truly I do.
