Even at 50% off most of these titles are too expensive. UBI has for too long failed to offer support after publishing. In the gaming community that is a cardinal sin.
Every game has bugs in it that no amount of beta will discover, gamers know this and we excuse it as long as there is swift patching that follows. What we will never forgive is the lack of support for titles we have already purchased.
UBI has run the Tom Clancy brand into the ground, a brand that has been incredibly popular from game one.
Personally, I would not frustrate myself if these titles were FREE. Posted at 1:52AM on Apr 29th 2009 by Wayne Altman

I've been looking at getting Beyond Good & Evil for quite some time now. This sale might be where I buy it.
I almost bought it during the Steam bundle sale, but I didn't want any of the other games in that bundle.Posted at 8:47AM on Apr 29th 2009 by Xeones25

DONT BUY FROM GAMERSGATE!

i should have known better because when i bought universe at war from them a few months ago, i got a bad key and it took days to get that sorted... but the prices were so good i bought from them again against my better judgement.

my experience with this sale:

bought far cry, ghost recon advanced warfigher, and ghost recon advanced warfigher 2.

downloaded GRAW first... installed, and when it asked for my key, i realized the key i was provided was wrong. wrong length, wrong format. so... no GRAW for me. but i figure, no problem, ill just email support and play something else.

so the next day i download far cry while im at work. get home, install it, run it... error: "missing dvm.dll. reinstall." well thats just GREAT, because the downloader deleted the install files after it installed! so i have to download the 3+ gigs AGAIN! instead, i get my brother (who has FIOS) to download it for me and check the installer. he installs... sure enough, same error. the far cry install image is BROKEN. so thats two down.

and a day later, STILL no word from support. at all. so i write them AGAIN, letting them know far cry is also broken.

download GRAW2. install. asks for the key. i put the key in, and it bluescreens. wtf? first bluescreen ive ever seen on this machine... but whatever, stuff happens. so i reboot, run it again. it asks for the key. i put it in... and this is what i get:

"T@GES Online Activation
Maximum number of activations reached. The product cannot be activated online.
Please contact Product Support in order to receive additional activations."

un-frickin-believable. so now gamersgate is zero for three.

and STILL no contact from support. ive now opened a dispute with paypal for a refund.

caveat emptor. do business with gamersgate at your own risk.Posted at 1:06AM on Apr 30th 2009 by radio_babylon
