I love GamersGate - that's where I've gotten several things recently. I wonder what version of The Witcher will be there since they do international releases …

Ah, maybe we can get the good stuff! (music anyway) 
AFA some of those other titles, I can imagine the deal is going to serve Atari well if they can offload some copies of Master of Orion3.

Master Of Orion 3 is nobody's favourite. And if it is somebody's favourite, I feel bad for the person.
Although I do think that there's a parallel universe to this one, in which a version of MOO3 was released that's actually fun. We got the version where the game takes care of all the fun stuff and the player gets to slog through the tedium, while in the parallel universe, people are playing MOO3 and getting to do the fun stuff while the computer (and by extension, their parallels - us) do the boring bits for them.

You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.
