10% discounts aren't anything to sniff at for new games, IMHO.
I understand it's less than what you'll get for some steam games, but that's the price to pay when dev cuts increase.
EGS selling through gmg is the step in the right direction imo.
I doubt the site wide coupons will work with any EGS code, there aren't the margins available with Steam or Uplay codes to get a typical 20-26% off discount. The current 10% off coupon for VIP users will be about the max you can expect.GMG is notable for occasionally offering store-wide discount codes. I wonder if EGS games are exempt? If not, this could be the only real way to get a deal on these games.
I am from Bangladesh originally but I live in NY now. Argentina flag is there because of fifa 18 World Cup, they are my favorite team.Forgive me for the seemingly out of the blue question, but are you from Argentina? (as the flag on your profile picture would indicate). Because if you are, then you won't be able to buy the game on GMG.

its almost like there are multiple intertwined issues and only some of them have been resolvedNot 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.

Yeah it's dead. Maybe the discount wasn't supposed to be there in the first place, wouldn't surprise me, lol. Considering some publishers are only giving 14-15% discounts (instead of 20-26%) for Steam or Uplay games, I would be really surprised if 10% off will be readily available for EGS releases. Might be limited to a single day sale like some of the 25-28% discounts for pre-orders.Is the 10% off deal for VIP members dead? Not seeing the discount anymore. :(
Humble Bundle now carries Borderlands 3 too, but there's a catch:
- With reduced cashback (1.2% vs normal 4/5%)
- With reduced charity (1.5% vs normal 5%).
- 10% discount for monthly subscribers does not apply
Same with humble bundle, the monthly discount doesn't apply.No discount? Pretty rare to see a preorder on GMG without at least 10% off. :/

Step in the right direction. Epic is only going to improve over time.
I did. I don't see how my statement is any less true?
Isn't this situation less that Epic is being greedy and more that Valve is generous with the free key generation? Free key generation is not a standard offered by any other major platform holder as far as I know for obvious reasons. Keys cost money on consoles, for example.

Epic is currently making deals that force these two stores to give less benefits for consumers. This isn't something they can "improve over time" with, this is something that they should not be doing at all in the first place.
Yes, Valve is more generous and that's the problem here! It's a major reason why Epic's current business is a bad thing for consumers and why Epic is not "just another launcher" like many claim it to be.Isn't this situation less that Epic is being greedy and more that Valve is generous with the free key generation?

GMG got rid of a lot of heavy discounts for a while now after they started some membership thing, iirc. I haven't shopped there in 2 years.
I see a 10% discount. I'm signed in if that matters.
?
I bought Mortal Kombat 11 at 28% off just yesterday.

That would require effort. It's far easier just to toss money around for exclusives and do token gestures (like full priced 3rd party sales with reduced benefits) to make it seem like you're doing something of value.If that's the case then yeah that's shitty. I don't know why Epic doesn't just copy steam instead of doing all this bullshit.

They swapped it to some VIP thing (I'm guessing so they don't advertise as much/can get accounts made)

I get where you're coming from but I just think it's not greedy. No worries either way!Yes, Valve is more generous and that's the problem here! It's a major reason why Epic's current business is a bad thing for consumers and why Epic is not "just another launcher" like many claim it to be.
