I got an email about this. I dont get any discount just adding to cart but using code NEW10 for standard edition or NEW12 for deluxe/ super deluxe knocks 10/12% off respectively

Puts super deluxe to just below £75 for me

Not gonna reply individually to everyone but I swear some of you are transparent as heck.

From 'EGS doesn't allow third party site sales!' To 'lol no discount? What's the point?' To '10%? Pfft that's nothing.' Just say you hate the EGS and nothing they do will change your mind despite them taking away this list of complaints against their service.

Unless you live in Argentina or another country like that. If you do, then all you get is this:

Now now, that's not fair.

I'll stop criticising EGS when it has pricing, features, curation, and exclusivity policies similar to Steam.

If it helps I had to start going through the checkout process for it to pop

I'm also GMG VIP if that matters

Nothing. I think I am VIP cause I see some game's with VIP badge on them top left.

Maybe because it's already regionally priced for me, but steam games on gmg give me discount with regionally priced games.

Considering the way you're getting mad, I feel like you're the one being transparent here. If you've been following the whole thing, people haven't been moving goalposts. From the very first day, people talked about:
-3rd party sites
-Offering a substantial discount (20-25%)

And these are one of the MANY criticism people have.

But I forgive you, you're here for console warring. Have fun^^

Imagine you writing this while multiple people in this thread can't get GMG to provide a discount for the game.

Couldn't wait to post your diatribe before reading right? You are projecting pretty hard right now.

With Discount

People still complaining. lol.

Because it's not discounted for everyone?

It's showing up at the RRP of £49.99 with no discount even if I add to cart, meaning this is still a crap situation for me. I can usually get Steam keys(or hell even uplay keys) for £35-£40 from other online key retailers.

Tried again and still no discount, either it is on a per country basis, Wario got it wrong (unlikely), or discount will roll out slowly.

No discount for me, a VIP member in the UK- after proceeding to payment it stays at £49.99. As others have said, 'what's the point?'

It's nice to see them offering keys on different sites. Not interested in Borderlands whatsoever, but stopped pre-ordering games months in advance.

I would rather wait on feedback , since GMG doesn't do refunds once keys have been refunded. it's got to take more than 10% to make me bite.

They still dont allow free key generation or Devs themselves to sell outside their store without them being involved (hence why Humble Bundle had to "enter a partnership" with EGS to sell keys. You know, things that directly affect price and availability?
Like did you get amnesia and forgot that World War Z was removed from GMG? And where the fuck is The Division 2, a game Epic paid to remove from every single third party store?

With 10% margins, there's hardly any discount to be had from third party sellers. This was one of my main beefs with the EGS because I'm sure it's good for the publishers but as a consumer, I am probably going to end up paying more for games.

Rarely ? Most of the time it's between 15 to 25% off. Especially on bigger releases. Yakuza Kiwami 2 for instance is between 15 to 20% off.
Vampire the Masquerade 2 can even be had for over 20% off.

Huh, guess I need to expand my searches or else I'm misremembering what they did for Yakuza 0, which I thought was only 10%.

Does anywhere do 20% off on preorders? I rarely see much lower than 10%

Green Man Gaming offers 20 to 25% off pre orders regularly. Heck I received 32% off for Tropico 6 pre order. You have to watch though because sometimes the extra discounts are VIP discounts up for a couple days or a week. Typically these happen closer to release so we'll see what Borderlands 3 is selling for come september.

Mortal Kombat 11 is 22 to 25% off right now depending on the version you want to get.

Yeah I'm watching this closely too to see if discounts start to shrink with EGS games.

I wonder what it means for a third party store to partner with Epic. Seems to mean a worse deal for me.

In my region, unlike all other games on GMG, this 10% discount is through a time limited (23rd) code.
Usually GMG sets a discount from when it's first applied, to when the game's released (it may fluctuate).
10% is basically the smallest discount they've done. Typically 14-25%.
It's also interesting that Humble doesn't have Borderlands 3, and GMG doesn't have Dangerous Driving.

Wasn't one of the criticisms leveled at the EGS from some people that they don't trust them with their credit card data ?

Well, this allows you pay on GMG.

Most of the games I pre order from CDkeys, Voidu, 2game, gamesplanet, gamebillet and similar stores are 20-25% off usually.

Mortal Kombat is currently at its historical low of €41.32 on 2game and Yakuza Kiwami 2 is at 23.99 at fanatical, Imperator Rome Deluxe at 41,79 at Voidu, I could go on but you get what I'm saying I guess.
