Gamersgate is a download service that competes with the likes of Impulse and Steam. We just got word that they are offering gamers who purchase a copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum and also gift another copy to a friend a bonus of 2,000 “Blue Coins”. Blue Coins, GamersGate’s currency, can be used to purchase other titles.
The bad news? 2000 blue coins is worth… $2
So basically, you can look at this is as buy two, get a coupon kind of deal. Buy two copies of Batman, which by all accounts is a stellar game, and get $2 off your next purchase. Spend $100, get $2…
The way I look at it, this is only of very limited value unless you were already going to buy Batman and you can con a friend into giving you the money to buy it for him or her so you can get the magic $2 coupon. Is all the rigamarole worth a measly $2? You be the judge.
