Galactic Civilizations 3 is on sale, 50% off. Now, if it didn't lack multiplayer, GalCiv2 might've been the best civ ever. GalCiv 3 corrects that, but the game is still in beta. Still, interesting though.

My rule of thumb is that I don't buy anything unless it's 75% off.

I'm actually buying most of games on gamersgate

They have way more sales and prices are considerably lower than on Valve. They also have a pretty good system of rewards/coupons and deal with Origin/EA. On a bad side, my bank constantly tries to block their credit card transactions for some reason as they appear to be blacklisted in the USA. But I don't have any problems so far and I'm using them for about three years now.

Another plus is they tend to carry some of European titles which are otherwise hard to get through Valve/Ubisoft.

Another option is gog but I find them somewhat overpriced compared to gamersgate most of the time.

So far this sale has been very disappointing.
