I think your Token advertisement should be a little more modest.
1 Token costs 7$ so Sins (6 tokens) is 42$ compared to 45$. Thats around 7% saving.
Twilight of Arnor costs 3 Tokens (21$) compared to 25$. Thats a about 12%.
You advertise the tokens with a 40% example and with big "up to 30%" buttons.
Yes, those percentages an be achieved but for a "real world" example they are very unlikely.
I'm not complaining about the price here
I think the games are worth every penny. It's just that having those big numbers in the advertisement might backfire because instead of being happy about the great 10% discount (and it IS great to have that) people might think "oh crap, it's only 10% and not 30%".
In addition to that the "felt" discount is a little lower since in my example (Sins + Twilight for 9 Tokens) there is simply nothing that would remotely interest me to buy with that 10th left over Token. And if that new strategy game of yours or a Sins expansion comes out I'd need to buy additional 10 Tokens to use that last left over one from this purchase. Which will leave me with even more left over Tokens
In my example my "real" savings are in fact zero because 10 Tokens cost 70$ instead of buying the games for 70$ separately - and the last Token is useless for me.
The advertisement should be changed. In a "real" case those 30% will rarely ever be achieved. Having a lower number here looks a lot more honest.
In addition to that I am a little confused. I bought 10 Tokens for 70$ recently. I had a TotalGaming account before that already (proud owner of GC1 and GC2 and GC2-DA) but I think I wasn't logged in when I hit the purchase button.
Now that I am logged in the Token price shows as 65$ instead of those 70$ (well, 69.95$ it was I think).
Is that normal?
