Glyde, the site thatās been a big hit with gamers since well before its official launch in November, is offering $3 off any single game purchase with the promo code KOTAKU. Youāll need to create an account there, of course. This is important: Thereās gray text that says āHave a coupon code?ā underneath the total price. Click that and enter the code there and hit āapply codeā before you hit the big blue ābuyā button. Otherwise, youāll have 30 seconds to cancel the transaction, then go back and enter the code to get your discount.
And with that, letās get to the rest of the deals:
