i don't really understand the huge range of the prices.
For example i can buy BOA2 at Amazon marketplace or Ebay for 6-10 € or AACW for about 15 €. They are original, new, sealed and no single copys.
Do i still support the developer if i buy games through these private sellers at this cheap price?

Hi Matin!
Once a game is distributed as retail games to physical stores (internet or brick and mortar stores) , like AGEOD's are, its usual to find them at very different prices: offers, discounts, bargain bins...
If you want to support the developers its better to buy directly form their shop. They will generally 100% of your money.
If you want the best prices, you can find them on amazon, Play.com or other big stores, they are 100% legal. But AGEOD will get very few (if at all) money from it. :bonk:
By the way, probably you already know but Amazon market place items are not sold by amazon but by other shops through amazon.
They are usually legit, but there can be exceptions.
The same on Ebay. Many seller are legal, but one can also fin pirated copies :(
Be careful about what you buy or where.
Cheers!

it's tricky. on the one hand i want to support the developers. on the other hand it's hard to pay 40 € if you can get the same thing for 8 € legally.... :tournepas

there should be daily offers, like gamersgate has (e.g. 50 % off)..

Buy BoA2 cheap and AACW directly from AGEOD (or the other way around) and both you heart and your pocket will be partially happy :thumbsup: ;)

But yes, I agree: "weekend" discounts and limited time offers would be a good idea :thumbsup:
AGEOD shops has this referral promotion.

Maybe you can use it if you are a new costumer :)

We plan to do this Week-End offers, but for various technical and legal reasons, won't be possible before next Fall ;)
