GMG is an authorized retailer and you'll receive the Shadow of Mordor Steam key immediately upon purchase. As an extra incentive, GMG is also throwing in 4 free games + a 23% off coupon for future use. Deal works in EU/UK as well.
Ho-lee S**T, that looks like a good deal! Thanks again!
FYI the 4 free game deal ended sometime this afternoon, but the coupon is still good till tomorrow 11am ET.
I'm just going to throw out a cautionary warning for Shadows Of Mordor. As much as I like sales I will not be taking advantage of this one as it is raising some warning flags for me.
Shadow Of Mordor is literally just released on PC and they are already offering a price cut above 10% and it is a Steam Code only? That doesn't sound right and I would advise caution.
GMG by all accounts are above board but unless they are selling these keys at a loss then they are very likely gray market keys at best, keys bought from a region where pricing is cheaper to match the economic climate. Do remember that a good number of Sniper Elite 3 keys were revoked off of Steam as they were Blackmarket/Stolen Keys and though I doubt GMG is peddling those for Mordor we honestly do not know where they are getting these keys.
I seriously doubt GMG got exclusive rights from Warner Bros to provide Mordor at such a discount. Remember, for Digital Distribution Platforms like Steam it is the Creators and Rights Holders that set the prices.
So I am not asking you to deny yourself the sale, I am only asking that you weight this against your thoughts before deciding.
