this is really awesome news. I'm trying to get sker Kinekor on the list for DBNGamers. will see how it goes. some good games that are coming from sega. can't wait.
Were SEGA games distributed in SA before this? How is this a benefit to us? Those games are hardly AAA or even AA and I assume the exclusivety deal will just allow them to inflate the prices.
@jGLZA has a point on the prices i hate to think of the mark-up that will be added to it, but Ster Kinekor seems to be on the ball with these things and Space Marine CE was a good price at rage so lets see how it goes, and lets hope they jump on board with #DBNGamers.
