Don't all of you get it? They didn't "run out of bits and bytes"; Arsenal Gear started filtering the Prey discount!

It's the publisher's responsibility to provide the CD-keys. All of the publisher's whose games go on sale know when it'll happen, so it must have sold many many times more what anyone thought it would.

I'm very interested to know what the sales stats are for this Steam sale; I bet that the rate of sale of all the discounted items more than makes up for any loss of them being so much cheaper...

The thing I find most interesting there is that it sold 2500 copies the week before the sale at full price with zero promotion years after release.

Really makes you wonder what the top ten sellers are selling. I have this feeling Steam sales numbers are extremely impressive and no one really knows. I mean, we do get PC ports of damn near everything despite boxed retail sales being pathetic.

It's so impressive today that thier purchase authorization servers are barfing. I've been declined on every variation of purchase source I have for sales today on Steam. How annoying is that?

Still less annoying than going out to the mall to get deals of this caliber :o
