Thanks for all that Jordan, the new shop homepage looks really excellent, as do all the existing graphics on the forum. I've been considering offering Steam codes on ForumCoin. Do you mind me asking which Steam site you are purchasing the codes from?
Ya the game shop of ours is going to be exciting to finally release. The entire process is automated, so we don't need staff to send any codes. In fact, I'm the only one who sees any of the steam codes for security reasons. That is until someone buys a game. It is then automatically inserted into their account!
Anyhow, the places I buy the games from are 3 different sites atm.
I have a partnership with
Green Man Gaming (Referral link), they send me steam codes once in a blue moon. Also, for every so many people I send their way they credit my account with $60. However, sometimes GMG is not the cheapest to get codes, or they may not have a certain game.
So I also pay $12/month for the
Humble Monthly as well, which most the games I don't play so I just give them to friends. This monthly subscription though gives you 10% discount on all the games on the
Humble Store. Which because I will pay for so many games a month, the amount I save makes up way more than the $12 I pay monthly so it is worth it.
Now finally, I also get games at
Bundle Stars. You can save a lot from getting games from here. Most of the time they offer some great bundles. With that, they also offer a "Star Deal" every other day which often times is a triple A game for an insane discount.
It is also important for me that everywhere I get my games from, that they are an officially licensed retailer. For all of their Steam keys are sourced directly from the game's official publisher or authorized distributors. I don't support sites like G2A which has been known to sell stolen keys.
