Title: Steam Having Slitherine Sale
Post by: davidshq on April 14, 2018, 10:36:44 AM
Hi Everyone,

Got an email from Fanatical today that Slitherine is holding a sale on Steam:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/publishers/slitherine-ltd.

In case anyone is interested. :)

Dave

Fake news!

I see the page has been taken down and there's no sign of a sale on Steam.

As of right now (11:58 US EST 4/14/18)  a search on Fanatical for 'Slitherine' does indeed show some big price cuts:

 :pullhair: Well that is weird! But the sale is occurring, if you search for Slitherine on Fanatical you'll see them coming up:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/search?search=Slitherine

For example, Panzer Corp is $4.79, 76% off according to Fanatical.

Or maybe I'm imagining things?  :uglystupid2:

Not on Steam though, and I have steam cash burning a hole in my Steam Wallet!

Now that makes sense - while Steam isn't having a Slitherine sale, Fanatical is selling discounted codes that you can activate on Steam.

This is the correct link for the Fanatical sale of Slitherine games that can be activated on Steam ...

Thanks for the heads up. I hope Fanatical updates their Slitherine catalog. They've done some excellent bundles and sales in the past.

Fanatical is legit. I bought the Talisman series of games in heavily discounted bundles a month ago.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dave, but the title of this thread should be changed. Instead of "Steam Having Slitherine Sale" it should read "Fanatical Having Slitherine Sale (https://www.fanatical.com/en/publishers/slitherine-ltd.).

For those that aren't aware of it, Fanatical is the new name for Bundle Stars. I have purchased from them in the past without any problem and consider them to be legitimate.

But I won't buy Slitherine or Matrix games from a source if I cannot register those games at Matrix / Slitherine.

I just bought Pillars of Eternity 2 from Fanatical for 21% off. Steam key worked and game installed. Just waiting for release May 8th. At my age though, that morning I'll forget and be pissed-off at, 'what the hell is Steam doing now'?  :2funny:

Not that it is a big difference, I have only seen for 17% off....is there a special code or anything?

17% is also what I see.

You can visit Greenman Gaming and use the code APRIL20 to get 20% off.  https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/pillars-of-eternity-ii-deadfire-standard-edition-pc/

Im trying to figure out how to balance CMANO with the current clan wars campaign in WoT.  :buck2:

Fanatical sent me an E-Mail with a code to put in for the 21% off. Turns out the game was 14% off at their site already and the code just added another 7% but WTF, I'll take it. They send me about an offer a day but I haven't bought anything form them since Rome 2 I believe.
