As far as their titles on Steam go, they have done better discounts during the big seasonal sales.

The Autumn sale is rumoured to be at the end of November, so I'd hold off buying anything Matrix/Slitherine sell on Steam until then. It's a little bit different for the non-steam games, of course.

Hmmmm.....so without going to the matrix website or to steam for confirmation I get the impression from this thread that the matrix sale is limited to steam only and then it's not really a good savings.

The quote above from Matrix says ALL their games and expansions are 25% off at their site.

Apologies for the confusion, to clarify:

Matrix Games are running a 25% discount promotion for Halloween on Steam AS WELL as their own store. Obviously there are some games they haven't put on Steam, but there are plenty current favourites that are on both.

As far as the games that are on both steam and the matrix store, Slitherine have in the passed engaged in Steam's bigger seasonal sales, the next of which will be the Autumn one at the end of the month (we think). From what I've found, most games currently receiving a 25% discount that are also on Steam has had a better discount in the seasonal sales. I think one or two are no cheaper than they've ever been.

I haven't done any research on the Matrix store itself - it might be worth picking up games directly that don't have a steam version, as 25% off is still a reasonable discount. However I'm reasonably confident that anything you want to pick up that's also on Steam will have a better discount (if not, the same) come the Autumn sale.

Hope that clears things up.
