I own a fair number of old Matrix titles, too, but there are a few that I would consider purchasing if they're on a sale like this. 

Ones that I never would, otherwise.

Same here

Me three.

Although I've already got WiTP and WiTP-AE, so technically I have no time to play anything else, ever.

Would love to see Distant Worlds + expansions get featured in these new sales they're doing.  With apologies to Huw (who would understandably disagree), that game should be getting a lot more exposure than it currently is, and a decent sale could certainly help with that.

From everything I've ever heard, I'm always amazed those of you who own either/both of those games ever manage to find time to even post!  ;)

I doubt that's going to happen for a long time (if ever), but they could put the AI War collection on sale, as that has already been made available through other venues.

And they're leading out right with Tiller's Civil War and Forge of Freedom: two high quality representative games that have seen better days.

WitP1 at a discount would be sure to garner sales of the Admiral Edition, I'd think; the War Plan Orange game is a fine introduction to that system, too. Or heck, Uncommon Valor (or whatever the first iteration of that system was called). But WPO has the advantage of introducing the game system AND ALSO being a unique speculative war scenario.

Heh, no worries mate.  Clearly everyone else sees something that I don't, and I've made my peace with that. :)
